SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On June 21, 2010, City Council held a public hearing in the matter of the proposed Kendall annexation.
Following that public hearing, Council accepted the 60% petition and authorized the Administration to
forward a Notice of Intent to the King County Boundary Review Board (BRB). On August 24, 2010, the
BRB issued a Closing Letter for Completed Action indicating its approval of the annexation. The next
step for this proposed annexation is for Council to adopt the ordinance annexing the area to the City.
The area was pre-zoned Residential Four Dwelling Units per Acre (R-4) as part of Ordinance #5254 and
the East Renton Plateau pre-zone. The R-4 zoning will become effective upon annexation. City
departments conducted a review of the annexation proposals and all departments indicated that the
annexations represent logical extensions of services and raised no concerns.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance annexing the Kendall Annexation area.

SUBJECT:Adoption of the 2009 International Building Codes
ISSUE
The State adopted the 2009 International Fire and Building Codes July 1, 2010. The
Community and Economic Development and Fire and Emergency Services Departments
are proposing an update to the Renton Municipal Code that adopts the 2009
International Building Code, Fire Code, Mechanical Code, Residential Code, and Uniform
Plumbing Code with local amendments. This will allow the City to bring forward local
amendments and utilize the same Code as adopted by the State of Washington.
RECOMMENDATION
The Community and Economic Development Department recommends approval of the
proposed code changes with local amendments and adoption of the related ordinance.
The new building codes are consistent with proposed updated fire codes and local
amendments, and should be adopted at the same time as the 2009 Fire Code with local
amendments.
BACKGROUND
The State Building Code Council reviewed and adopted the 2009 International Fire and
Building Codes effective as the statewide minimum fire and building codes on July 1,
2010.
In order for the City to bring forward local amendments that can be enforced, it is
necessary to adopt the 2009 International Fire and Building Codes and local
amendments by ordinance.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The current provisions governing enlargements of legal non-conforming structures doesn’t allow
enlargements of such structures unless the enlargement is completely conforming or a rebuild approval
permit has been obtained. However, in practice staff has applied the code in a way that allows
applicants to enlarge their structure, at the discretion of the Reviewing Official, if the enlargement
creates greater conformity with the code. To that end, staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the
applicable non-conforming provisions in its entirety and have concluded that amendments should be
made in order to better align the code with current practices.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt code revisions to allow non-conforming structures to enlarge, at the discretion of the Reviewing
Official, if the enlargement moves the proposal closer towards conformity.

SUBJECT:Non-Conforming Code Revisions
ISSUE:
Should the City of Renton amend the Enlargement Section of the Legal Non-Conforming
Structures, Uses and Lots chapter in the Renton Municipal Code?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends amending Renton Municipal Code Section 4-10-150A.4, Enlargement,
in order to allow enlargements, which are legally non-conforming, if the proposed
enlargement creates greater conformity with the code.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The current provisions governing enlargements of legal non-conforming structures
doesn’t allow enlargements of such structures unless the enlargement is completely
conforming or a rebuild approval permit has been obtained. However, in practice staff
has applied the code in a way that allows applicants to enlarge their structure, at the
discretion of the Reviewing Official, if the enlargement moves the proposal closer
towards conformity. To that end, staff and the City Attorney Department have reviewed
the applicable non-conforming provisions in its entirety and have concluded that
amendments could be made in order to better align the code with staff’s processes.
Recommended changes include provisions to allow the enlargement of non-conforming
structures at the discretion of the Administrator of the Department of Community and
Economic Development or designee if the enlargement is shown to increase conformity.
Criteria to be considered by the Reviewing Official, has also been included in the
recommended changes. Specifically, the enlargement shall either be:
1.Sited carefully to achieve compatible transition between surrounding buildings,
parking areas, and other land uses; or
2.Does not significantly cause any adverse or undesirable effects on the site or
neighboring properties.

CONCLUSION:
The revisions would update the City’s Non-Conforming Code to reflect the current
application of code by Planning Staff. The revisions would allow non-conforming
structures to enlarge, at the discretion of the Reviewing Official, if the enlargement
increases conformity with the City Code.

Amount Budgeted: $ 0 Revenue Generated: $0
Total Project Budget: $ 0 City Share Total Project: $ 0
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The current adult entertainment ordinance is over 16 years old and has not recently been studied or
reviewed comprehensively during that time. The impacts of an adult entertainment business on other
businesses and the current land use pattern of the EAV have not been evaluated or considered under
the existing ordinance. Given the passage of time from the existing ordinance to present, it is in the
best interest of the City to study the area and evaluate the impacts, if any, and to assess whether any
changes or measured appropriate action is necessary to the existing ordinance.
The City passed an initial moratorium on the acceptance of applications for adult entertainment
businesses citywide. The public hearing for that moratorium was held on March 22, 2010 and adopted
April 12, 2010. The City subsequently passed a revised moratorium with locational criteria. The public
hearing for the amendment was held on June 7, 2010. However, the expiration of the moratorium is
determined by the adoption of the initial resolution and is set to expire on October 12, 2010. During the
initial moratorium, City staff made substantial progress in surveying case law. However, additional
time is needed in order to complete the analysis of secondary effects related to these land uses. A new
public hearing and resolution is now required to extend the moratorium for an additional six months.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Set a public hearing on October 11, 2010 to consider extending the current moratium, and adopt a new
resolution, for the continuation of the moratorium, immediately following the public hearing.

SUBJECT:Continuation of Moratorium on the Permitting of Adult
Entertainment Businesses
ISSUE:
Should the City of Renton continue a moratorium on the permitting of adult
entertainment businesses, until such time the current ordinance has been evaluated to
determine the impacts of such uses?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council set a public hearing of October 11, 2010 in order to
consider a resolution for the continuation of the moratorium established via Resolution
#4041, regarding the permitting of adult entertainment businesses as amended by
Resolution #4054. Staff further recommends the City Council adopt a new resolution,
for the continuation of the moratorium, immediately following the public hearing.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The current adult entertainment ordinance is over 16 years old and has not recently
been studied or reviewed comprehensively during that time. Currently, adult
entertainment businesses may be generally located in the Employment Area Valley
(EAV). This area of the City has substantially changed over the last 16 years. The
impacts of an adult entertainment business on other businesses and the current land
use pattern of the EAV have not been evaluated or considered under the existing
ordinance. Given the passage of time from the existing ordinance to present, it is in the
best interest of the City to study the area and evaluate the impacts, if any, and to assess
whether any changes or measured appropriate action is necessary to the existing
ordinance.
The City passed an initial moratorium on the permitting of adult entertainment
businesses citywide. The public hearing for that moratorium was held on March 22,
2010 and adopted April 12, 2010. The City subsequently passed a revised
moratorium with locational criteria. The public hearing for the amendment was held on
June 7, 2010. However, the expiration of the moratorium is determined by the adoption

of the initial resolution and is set to expire on October 12, 2010. During the initial
moratorium, City staff made substantial progress in surveying case law. However,
additional time is needed in order to complete the analysis of secondary effects related
to these land uses. A new public hearing and resolution is now required to extend the
moratorium for an additional six months.
CONCLUSION:
The moratorium is on the acceptance of any business license or other permit application
for an adult entertainment business or tavern, located within 1,000 feet of any
established adult entertainment venue. Additionally, the moratorium is on the
acceptance of any business license or other permit application for an adult
entertainment business meeting any of the following locational criteria: between SW 43
rd and SW 41st Streets, north of SW 16th Street, or shares the same street frontage of an
established adult entertainment venue.
A public hearing is necessary to accept public testimony on whether or not the City
should continue this moratorium. The moratorium would be in place for an additional
period of six months, while the Department of Community and Economic Development
(CED) and the City Attorney continue to survey existing evidence to determine what
negative secondary effects may be associated with this type of land use, ways to
mitigate negative secondary effects of such land use in the least restrictive manner,
consider alternatives, and provide a reasonable means to accommodate access to
protected expression; such that any regulation ultimately adopted is a reasonable time,
place and manner restriction. CED and the City Attorney are to make recommendations
to the City Council, or subcommittee, on regulations that could be adopted to satisfy
these goals. If this work has not been completed by the end of the six-month period,
the Council may extend the moratorium for additional time after another public hearing.

SUBJECT:Lease with PMC Bancorp for Suite 410 in the 200 Mill Building
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign a Lease with PMC
Bancorp for Suite 410 in the 200 Mill Building?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Lease.
Background:
·PMC Bancorp has a need for roughly 2,000 square feet of office space. The
fourth floor of the 200 Mill Building is already built out and furnished with
City-owned furniture. Suite 410 is roughly one-third of the fourth floor.
·The business points of the proposed amended lease are as follows:
o Rent will be $2,500 per month on a month-to-month basis. That equates
to a lease rate of $15.00 per square foot, market-based for a full-service
lease of this type in our current market.
o Very minor improvements will be made to accommodate this tenant’s
needs, $2,500 worth.
o The GVA brokerage fee ($1,250-$2,500 depending on total duration) is
being waived, and PMC is not represented by a broker.
Conclusion:
Approving this lease provides additional cash flow for the operation of the City’s Leased
Properties Fund 108 while maintaining flexibility for potential future City space needs.

('Tenant"), who agree as follows:
1. Fundamental Terms. As used in this Lease, the following capitalized terms shall have the following
meanings:

3232.
(c) "Premises" means that certain space crosshatched on Exhibit B, located on the Fourth floor of
the Building and designated as Suite 410.
(d) "Agreed Areas" means the agreed amount of rentable square feet of space in the Building

Building contains approximately 49,480 rentable square feet of space (the "Building Area") and that the
Premises contain approximately 2,024 rentable square feet of space in Suite 410 on the fourth floor. The
total area under lease will be 2,024 rentable square feet, (the "Premises Area"). The parties agree that the
Premises will be remeasured by Landlord's architect to accurately determine the number of rentable
square feet of space in the Premises, which determination shall be made in accordance with the Building
Owners and Managers Association International ("BOMA"') standards, namely the "Standard Method for
Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings - American National Standard," ANSI Z65.1-1996. Promptly after
Landlord's architect makes such determination, this Lease shall be amended to accurately reflect the
number of rentable square feet of space in the Building and the Premises as so determined. In addition,
the Minimum Monthly Rent, and Tenants Share, shall be proportionately adjusted based on the actual

rentable square feet contained in such space and Tenant's Share shall be separately computed as to
each of such costs. If the Building shall contain non-office uses during any period, Landlord shall have the
right to determine, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, Tenant's Share of Real
Property Taxes and Operating Costs for only the office portion of the Building; in such event, Tenants Share
shall be based on the ratio of the rentable area of the Premises to the rentable area of such office portion for
such period.
If a portion of the Building is damaged or condemned, or any other event occurs which alters the
number of rentable square feet of space in the Premises or the Building, then Landlord shall adjust Tenant's
Share to equal the number of rentable square feet of space then existing in the Premises (as altered by such
event) divided by the number of rentable square feet of space then existing in the Building (as altered by such
event).

use and occupancy of, the Premises.
4. Term.
(a) Commencement Date. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire
on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease. The Lease shall continue Month
to Month thereafter, subject to thirty (30) day termination notice by either party at anytime. The
Commencement Date shall be:
(i) The date specified in Section 1, unless notice is delivered pursuant to Subsection
4(a)(ii), in which case the Commencement Date shall be such later date, or Tenant occupies the Premises
earlier pursuant to Subsection 4(a)(iii), in which case the Commencement Date shall be such earlier date;
(ii) Such later date on which the Tenant Improvements to be made to the Premises by
Landlord, if any, are substantially complete, provided, however, that Landlord shall give notice of
substantia! completion to Tenant at least five (5) days before such date.
(iii) If Tenant shall occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use prior to the Commencement
Date specified in Section 1 or the date specified in the notice provided for pursuant to Subsection 4(a)(ii),
then the date of such early occupancy.

the plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements or change orders with respect to the Tenant
5g. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a month‐
to‐month lease in the amount of $2,500 per month with PMC Bancorp for Page 62 of 359
Improvements or to Tenants failure to fulfill any other obligation under this Lease, then the Term shall be
deemed to have commenced on the Commencement Date specified in Section 1.
(c) Tenant Termination Rights. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises with
the Tenant Improvements, if any, substantially completed to Tenant on the Commencement Date as a
result of causes beyond its reasonable control, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused by
failing to deliver possession and this Lease shall not be void or voidable. Tenant shall not be liable for
Rent until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. No delay in delivery of possession of
the Premises to Tenant shall change the Expiration Date or operate to extend the Term. If Landlord does
not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within six (6) months of the Commencement Date, then
Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following
the end of such six (6) month period.
(d) Confirmation of Commencement Date. When the Commencement Date as provided in
Subsection 4(a)(ii) or Subsection 4(a)(iii) has been established as an earlier or later date than the
Commencement Date specified in Section 1, Landlord shall confirm the Commencement Date by notice to
Tenant.
5. Minimum Monthly Rent; Late Charge.
(a) Minimum Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Minimum Monthly Rent without
deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in advance on the first day of each month during the Term.
Minimum Monthly Rent for any partial month shall be prorated at the rate of 1/30th of the Minimum
Monthly Rent per day. Minimum Monthly Rent is exclusive of any sales, franchise, business or occupation
or other tax based on rents (other than Landlord's general income taxes) and should such taxes apply
during the Term, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be increased by the amount of such taxes. Ail Rent shall
be paid to Landlord at Landlord's Address for Payment of Rent or at such other address as Landlord may
specify by notice to Tenant.
(b) Late Charge. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any Rent will cause
Landlord to incur administrative, collection, processing and accounting costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Lease, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impracticable to
predict or remedy. Therefore, if any Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant by the fifth (5th)
calendar day after such Rent is due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five
percent (5%) of the amount of such Rent or Seventy-five and No/100th Dollars ($75.00), whichever is
greater. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs
and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss caused by Tenants nonpayment. Should
Tenant pay said late charge but fail to pay contemporaneously therewith all unpaid amounts of Rent,
Landlord's acceptance of this late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants default with respect to
Tenants nonpayment nor prevent Landlord from exercising all other rights and remedies available to
Landlord under this Lease or under law.
6. Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit As partial consideration for Landlord's execution of this
Lease, on execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Prepaid Rent, as monthly rent
for the first full month of the Term for which Rent is payable, and the Security Deposit, as a Security
Deposit for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease. If Tenant is in default, Landlord
may use the Security Deposit or any portion of it, to cure the default, including without limitation, paying
for the cost of any work necessary to restore the Premises, the Tenant improvements and any alterations
to good condition or to compensate Landlord for all damage sustained by Landlord resulting from Tenants
default Tenant shall within five (5) days of demand pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the
Security Deposit expended or applied by Landlord as provided in this Section so as to maintain the
Security Deposit in the sum initially deposited with Landlord. If Tenant is not in default as of the expiration
or termination of the Term, including without limitation, in default in payment of the Rent for the last month
of the Term, then Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, without interest to Tenant within a
reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Term,
provided, however, that Landlord may retain a portion of the Security Deposit for payment of increases in
Real Property Taxes and Operating Costs the exact amount of which has not been determined as of the
expiration or termination of the Term. Landlord's obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those
of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's general and
other funds.
7. Real Property Taxes.
(a) Payment of Tenant's Share of Increases in Real Property Taxes. The parties have
agreed, that for this Month to Month tenancy, Tenant will not be responsible for increase costs for Real
Property Taxes. Should Landlord and Tenant enter into a long term lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as Additional Rent, monthly, in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal
to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenants Share of all increases in Real Property Taxes that are or will be levied
or assessed against the Property during each calendar year during the Term over and above the Real
Property Taxes that are levied or assessed against the Property during the Base Year as reasonably
estimated by Landlord. Such Additional Rent is exclusive of any sales, franchise, business or occupation
or other tax based on rents and should such taxes apply during the Term, such Additional Rent shall be
increased by the amount of such taxes. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each
calendar year during the Term or within such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the Real Property Taxes for the preceding calendar year
and Tenants Share of the increase in Real Property Taxes. If Tenants Share of the increase in such Real
Property Taxes for that calendar year over such Real Property Taxes for the Base Year exceeds the
monthly payments made by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days
5g. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a month‐
to‐month lease in the amount of $2,500 per month with PMC Bancorp for Page 63 of 359
after receipt of the statement. If Tenants payments made during that calendar year exceed Tenants
Share of the increase in such Real Property Taxes for that calendar year over such Real Property Taxes
for the Base Year, then, at Landlord's option, either Landlord shall pay Tenant the excess at the time
Landlord furnishes the statement to Tenant, or Tenant shall be entitled to offset the excess against the
next installments) of Minimum Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, provided, however, that at the end of
the Term Landlord shall pay Tenant the excess at the time Landlord furnishes the statement to Tenant.
(b) General and Special Assessments. With respect to any general or special assessments
which may be levied against or upon the Property, or which under the laws then in force may be evidenced
by improvement or other bonds or may be paid in annual installments, only the amount of such annual
installment, and interest due thereon, shall be included in the computation of Real Property Taxes.
(c) Proration. Tenants Share of Real Property Taxes shall be prorated on the basis of a 360-day
year to account for any fractional portion of a tax year included in the Term at its commencement and
expiration.
(d) No Effect on Minimum Monthly Rent Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Minimum
Monthly Rent specified in Section 1.
(e) Leasehold Excise Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7,
Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord is a municipal corporation under the State of Washington, and,
as such, pays leasehold excise taxes based on rent in lieu of Real Property Taxes. For purposes of
establishing a Base Year for taxes based on rent, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a tax
assessment based on the valuation of the Property for the Base Year, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
Additional Rent, monthly, in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenants Share of all increases in the valuation of the Property over the agreed
upon Base Year valuation that are or will be levied or assessed against the Property for each calendar
year during the Term.
8. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all personal property taxes
assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of
Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere. If possible, Tenant shall cause such trade fixtures,
furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant to be assessed and billed separately
from the Property.
9. Operating Costs.
(a) Payment of Tenant's Share of Increases in Operating Costs. The parties have agreed,
that for this Month to Month tenancy, Tenant will not be responsible for increase costs for Operating
Costs, unless Tenant utilizes the Premises beyond standard operating hours, and or has an excessive use
of the Premises. Should Landlord and Tenant enter into a long term lease.Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as Additional Rent, monthly, in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, an amount equal
to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenants Share of the increase in the Operating Costs of the Property for each
calendar year during the Term over the Operating Costs for the Base Year as reasonably estimated by
Landlord. Landlord may, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, both reasonably
estimate, and finally determine, the Operating Costs for the Base Year and for each calendar year during
the Term based on the Operating Costs that would have been incurred if the Building had been 95%
occupied during the Base Year or each such calendar year, as the case may be, taking into account
historical operating costs for the Building. Landlord may, in accordance with sound accounting and
management principles, make any other appropriate changes to reflect adjustments to Operating Costs for
prior years or for the then current calendar year. Such Additional Rent is exclusive of any sales, franchise,
business or occupation or other tax based on rents and should such taxes apply during the Term, such
Additional Rent shall be increased by the amount of such taxes. Within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the end of each calendar year during the Term or within such longer period of time as may be
reasonably necessary, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the Operating Costs for the
preceding calendar year and Tenant's Share of the increase in the Operating Costs. If Tenants Share of
the increase in the Operating Costs for that calendar year over the Operating Costs for the Base Year
exceeds the monthly payments made by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within
thirty (30) days after receipt of the statement. If Tenants payments made during that calendar year
exceed Tenant's Share of the increase in the Operating Costs for that calendar year over the Operating
Costs for the Base Year, then, at Landlord's option, either Landlord shall pay Tenant the excess at the
time Landlord furnishes the statement to Tenant, or Tenant shall be enb'tied to offset the excess against
the next installment(s) of Minimum Monthly Rent and Additional Rent, provided, however, that at the end
of the Term Landlord shall pay Tenant the excess at the time Landlord furnishes the statement to Tenant.
(b) Proration. Tenants Share of Operating Costs shall be prorated on the basis of a 360-day
year to account for any fractional portion of a year included in the Term at its commencement and
expiration.
(c) No Effect on Minimum Monthly Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section, the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Minimum
Monthly Rent specified in Section 1.
10. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other use without Landlord's
prior consent. Tenant agrees that it has determined to its satisfaction that the Premises can be used for
the Permitted Use. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease if the Premises cannot be used for the
5g. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a month‐
to‐month lease in the amount of $2,500 per month with PMC Bancorp for Page 64 of 359
Permitted Use during the Term unless the prohibition on use is the result of actions taken by Landlord.
Tenants use of the Premises shall be in accordance with the following:
(a) Insurance. Tenant shall not do, bring, or keep anything in or about the Premises or the
Property that will cause a cancellation of any insurance covering the Property. If the rate of any insurance
carried by Landlord on the Property as published by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau, or any
successor rating bureau or agency, is increased as a result of Tenants use, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord not less than ten (10) days before the date Landlord is obligated to pay a premium on the
insurance, a sum equal to the difference between the original premium and the increased premium.
(b) Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws concerning the
Premises and Tenants use of the Premises.
(c) Waste, Nuisance and Improper Use. Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that
will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to other tenants in the Building, including
without limitation, (i) the use of loudspeakers or sound or light apparatus that can be heard or seen
outside the Premises, (ii) for cooking or other activities that cause odors that can be detected outside the
Premises, or (iii) for lodging or sleeping rooms. Violation of this subsection may result in a finding that
Tenant is in violation of the Nuisance provision and/or other applicable Renton Municipal Code provisions
and/or applicable laws.
(d) Damage to Property. Tenant shall not do anything in, on or about the Premises that will
cause damage to the Property, excluding normal wear and tear associated with normal office use.
(e) Rules and Regulations. Tenant and its authorized representatives shall comply with the

amend the Rules and Regulations from time to time. In the event of a conflict between this Lease and the
Rules and Regulations, as amended, this Lease shall control. Landlord shall have the right to enforce the
Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the
noncompliance by other tenants or their authorized representatives with any of such Rules and
Regulations.
11. Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not dispose of or otherwise allow the release of any
Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Premises, or the Property, or in any tenant improvements or
alterations placed on the Premises by Tenant. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenants
intended use of the Premises does not involve the use, production, disposal or bringing on to the
Premises of any Hazardous Substances, except for products normally used in general business offices
which constitute Hazardous Substances, provided that such products are used, stored and disposed of in
accordance with applicable laws and manufacturer's and supplier's guidelines. Tenant shall promptly
comply with all laws and with all orders, decrees or judgments of governmental authorities or courts
having jurisdiction, relating to the use, collection, treatment, disposal, storage, control, removal or cleanup

Tenant notice and an opportunity to effect such compliance if (i) such delay might result in material
adverse harm to the Premises, or the Property, or (ii) an emergency exists. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the full amount of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such
compliance activities, and such obligation shall continue even after expiration or termination of the Term.
Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately of any release of any Hazardous Substances on the Premises or
the Property.

damages, charges, cleanup costs, remedial actions, costs and expenses, which may be imposed on,
incurred or paid by, or asserted against Landlord, the Premises or the Property by reason of, or in
connection with the acts or omissions of Tenant its authorized representatives, or any subtenant or other
person for whom Tenant would otherwise be liable, resulting in the release of any Hazardous Substances

16. Utilities and Services.
(a) Utilities and Services Furnished by Landlord. Landlord shall furnish the Premises with:
(i) Electricity for lighting and power suitable for the use of the Premises for ordinary
general office purposes; provided, however, that Tenant shall not at any time have a connected electrical
load for lighting purposes in excess of the wattage per square foot of Premises Area required for building
standard amounts of lighting, or a connected load for all other power requirements in excess of four (4)
watts per square foot of Premises Area as determined by Landlord, and the electricity so provided for
lighting and power shall not exceed such limits, subject to any lower limits set by any governmental
authority with respect thereto;
Subject to the reasonable limitations of the existing building systems, heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning, if the Building has an air-conditioning system, to maintain a temperature
range in the Premises which is customary for similar office space in the King County,
Washington area (but in compliance with any applicable governmental regulations with
respect thereto). Tenant agrees to keep closed, when necessary, blinds, draperies and
windows which must be closed to provide for the efficient operation of the heating and air
conditioning systems, if any, and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to abide by
the regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and
protection of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system, if any. If Tenant requires
heating, ventilating and air conditioning to the Premises other than during normal business
hours from 7:30 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. daily, and 8:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M on Saturdays, except
Sundays and those legal holidays generally observed In the State of Washington, Landlord
shall, upon Tenants request made not less than 24 hours before the time Tenant requires the
after hour service, and not later than Noon on the Friday before any Saturday or Sunday on
which Tenant requires such service, and not later than Noon of the day before any holiday on
which Tenant requires such service (except as otherwise provided in the Rules and
Regulations), furnish such heating, ventilating and air conditioning. If Tenant receives such
services, then Tenant shall pay, upon demand, an amount equal to Tenants proportionate
share of the actual direct cost to Landlord in providing the heating, ventilating and air
conditioning outside of normal business hours which Landlord and Tenant agree will be
$25.00 per hour at this time
(ii) Water for restroom and drinking purposes and access to restroom facilities;
(iii) Elevator service for general office pedestrian usage if the Building is serviced by
elevators;
(iv) Relamping of building-standard light fixtures;

required to be furnished by Landlord pursuant to Section 16(a) shall be paid for by Tenant If Tenant
requires, on a regular basis, water, heat air conditioning, electric current, elevator or janitorial service in
excess of that provided for in Section 16(a), then Tenant shall first obtain the written consent of Landlord
which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. If Landlord consents to such excess use,
Landlord may install an electric current or water meter (including, without limitation, any additional wiring,
conduit or panel required therefor) to measure the excess electric current or water consumed by Tenant or
may cause the excess usage to be measured by other reasonable methods (e.g. by temporary "check"
meters or by survey). Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand (i) the cost of any and all water, heat, air
conditioning, electric current, janitorial, elevator or other services or utilities required to be furnished to
Tenant in excess of the services and utilities required to be furnished by Landlord as provided in Section
5g. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a month‐
to‐month lease in the amount of $2,500 per month with PMC Bancorp for Page 67 of 359
16(a); (ii) the cost of installation, maintenance and repair of any meter installed in the Premises; (iii) the
cost of all electricity and water consumed by Tenant in connection with any dedicated heating, ventilating
and/or air conditioning, computer power and/or air conditioning, telecommunications or other special
systems of Tenant including any power usage other than through existing standard 110-volt AC outlets;
and (iv) any reasonable cost incurred by Landlord in keeping account of or determining such excess
utilities or services furnished to Tenant Landlord's failure to bill Tenant for any such excess utilities or
services shall not waive Landlord's right to bill Tenant for the excess at a later time.
(c) Temperature Balance. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant regarding the adequacy
or fitness of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in the Building to maintain temperatures
that may be required for, or because of, any of Tenants equipment other than normal office equipment,
such as personal computers, laser printers, copiers, dictating machines and other small equipment
normally used in business offices, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage suffered by
Tenant or others in connection therewith. If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the
Premises by the heating, air conditioning or ventilation system is affected as a result of (i) any lights,
machines or equipment (including without limitation electronic data processing machines) used by Tenant
in the Premises or the use of more than one personal computer per person, (ii) the occupancy of the
Premises by more than one person per two hundred (200) square feet of rentable area therein, (iii) an
electrical load for lighting or power in excess of the limits per square foot of rentable area of the Premises
specified in Section 16(a), or (iv) any rearrangement of partitioning or other improvements, Landlord may
install any equipment or modify any existing equipment (including the standard air conditioning
equipment) Landlord deems necessary to restore the temperature balance. The cost of any such
equipment, including without limitation, the cost of design and installation thereof, and the cost of
operating, metering, maintaining or repairing the same, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
Tenant shall not install or operate window-mounted heating or air-conditioning units.
(d) Special Electrical or Water Connections; Electricity Use. Tenant will not, without the prior
consent of Landlord, which Landlord in its sole discretion may refuse, connect or use any apparatus or

electricity, water, heating, air conditioning or ventilation furnished to the Premises to exceed the amount
required for use of the Premises for ordinary general office purposes, as determined by Landlord, during
normal business hours or (iii) which would cause Tenant's connected load to exceed any limits
established in Section 16(a). Tenant shall not connect with electric current except through existing outlets
in the Premises and shall not connect with water pipes except through existing plumbing fixtures in the
Premises. In no event shall Tenant's use of electricity exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the
Building or the risers or wiring installation, and Landlord may prohibit the use of any electrical equipment
which in Landlord's opinion will overload such wiring or interfere with the use thereof by other tenants in
the Building. If Landlord consents to the use of equipment requiring such changes, Tenant shall pay the
cost of installing any additional risers, panels or other facilities that may be necessary to furnish energy to
the Premises.
Landlord will not permit additional coring of the floor of the Premises in order to install new electric
outlets in the Premises unless Tenant furnishes Landlord with X-ray scans of the floor area where the Tenant
wishes to place additional electrical outiets and Landlord, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied, on the basis of
such X-ray scans and other information obtained by Landlord, that coring of the floor in order to install such
additional outlets will not weaken the structure of the floor.
(e) Landlord's Duties. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease or liable for any
damages resulting from, or incidental to, any of the following, nor shall any of the following constitute an
actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, nor shall the Rent be abated by reason ot (i) failure to furnish or
delay in furnishing any of the services described in this Section when such failure or delay is caused by
accident or any condition beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, including the making of necessary
repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building, (ii) any electrical surges or spikes, or (iii)
failure to make any repair or to perform any maintenance, unless such failure shall persist for an
unreasonable time after notice of the need for such repair or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant

(f) Governmental Regulations. Any other provisions of this Section notwithstanding, if any
governmental authority or utility supplier imposes any laws, controls, conditions, or other restrictions upon
Landlord, Tenant or the Building, relating to the use or conservation of energy or utilities, mandated
changes in temperatures to be maintained in the Premises or the Building or the reduction of automobile
or other emissions (collectively, the "Controls"), or in the event Landlord is required or elects to make
alterations to the Building in order to comply with the Controls, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply
and may require Tenant to comply with the Controls or make such alterations to the Building in order to
comply w'rth the Controls. Such compliance and the making of such alterations shall not constitute an
actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, impose on Landlord any liability whatsoever, or entitle Tenant to
any abatement of Rent
17. Indemnity.
(a) Generally. Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord, its officers, agents,
officials, employees and volunteers from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, or liabilities for
injury or death of any person, or loss of damage to property, which arises out of Tenants use of the

coverage for all of its liability exposures for this Lease Agreement. The Tenant agrees to provide the
Landlord with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any material change in the County's self-
funded program and will provide the Landlord with a certificate of self-insurance as adequate proof of
coverage. Landlord further acknowledges, agrees and understands that the Tenant does not purchase
Commercial General Liability Insurance and is a self-insured governmental entity; therefore the
Tenant does not have the ability to add the Landlord as an additional insured. Should the Tenant elect

Tenant must add the Landlord as an additional insured and comply with all provisions of section 19.

23. Destruction.
(a) Insured Damage. If during the Term the Premises or the Building are partially or totally
destroyed by any casualty that is covered by any insurance carried by Landlord covering the Building,
rendering the Premises partially or totally inaccessible or unusable, Landlord shall restore the Premises or
the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before such destruction, if (i)
the insurance proceeds available to Landlord equal or exceed the cost of such restoration, (ii) in the

within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which Landlord obtains all permits necessary for
such restoration, and (iii) such restoration is permitted under then existing laws to be done in such a
manner as to return the Premises, or the Building, as the case may be, to substantially the same condition
as they were in immediately before such destruction. To the extent that the insurance proceeds must be
paid to a mortgagee under, or must be applied to reduce any debt secured by, a mortgage covering the
Property, the insurance proceeds shall be deemed not to be available to Landlord unless such mortgagee
permits Landlord to use the insurance proceeds for such restoration. Such destruction shall not terminate
this Lease.
(b) Major or Uninsured Damage. If during the Term the Premises or the Building are partially or
totally destroyed by any casualty and Landlord is not obligated under Section 23(a) captioned "Insured
Damage" to restore the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, then Landlord may, at its election,
either (i) restore the Premises or the Building to substantially the same condition as they were in
immediately before such destruction, or (ii) terminate this Lease effective as of the date of such
destruction. If Landlord does not give Tenant notice within sixty (60) days after the date of such
destruction of its election to restore the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, Landlord shall be
deemed to have elected to terminate this Lease. If Landlord elects to restore the Premises or the Building,
as the case may be, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such restoration
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which Landlord obtains all permits necessary for
such restoration, provided, however, that such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended by a
period equal to any delays caused by Force Majeure, and such destruction shall not terminate this Lease.
If Landlord does not complete such restoration within one (1) year following the date of such destruction,
then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to such effect to Landlord within ten
(10) days following the end of such one (1) year period.
(c) Damage to the Building. If during the Term the Building Is partially destroyed by any casualty
and if in the opinion of Landlord the Building should be restored in such a way as to materially alter the
Premises, then Landlord may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of
Landlord's election to do so within sixty (60) days after the date of such destruction.
(d) Extent of Landlord's Obligation to Restore. If Landlord is required or elects to restore the
Premises as provided in this Section, Landlord shall not be required to restore alterations made by
Tenant Tenants trade fixtures and Tenants personal property, such excluded items being the sole
responsibility of Tenant to restore.
(e) Abatement or Reduction of Rent In case of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises or
the Building, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be abated or reduced, between the date of destruction and
the date of completion of restoration, by an amount that is in the same ratio to the Minimum Monthly Rent
as the total number of square feet of the Premises that are so damaged or destroyed bears to the total
number of square feet in the Premises.
24. Condemnation. If during the Term there is any taking of part or all of the Premises or the Building
by condemnation, as decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the rights and obligations of the
parties shall be as follows:
(a) Award. The entire award for the Premises, the Building and the Property, shall belong to and
be paid to Landlord, Tenant hereby assigning to Landlord Tenants interest therein, if any, provided,
however, that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemnor compensation for the
loss of any alterations made by Tenant, Tenants trade fixtures, Tenants personal property, moving
expenses and business interruption.
25. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Landlord's Consent; Definitions. Tenant acknowledges that the Building is a mufti-tenant
office building, occupied by tenants specifically selected by Landlord, and that Landlord has a legitimate
interest in the type and quality of such tenants, the location of tenants in the Building and in controlling the
leasing of space in the Building so that Landlord can better meet the particular needs of its tenants and
protect and enhance the relative image, position and value of the Building in the office building market.
Tenant further acknowledges that the rental value of the Premises may fluctuate during the Term in
accordance with market conditions, and, as a result the Rent paid by Tenant under the Lease at any
particular time may be higher or lower than the then market rental value of the Premises. Landlord and
Tenant agree, and the provisions of this Section are intended to so provide, that, if Tenant voluntarily
10 5g. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a month‐
to‐month lease in the amount of $2,500 per month with PMC Bancorp for Page 70 of 359
assigns its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or subleases any part or all of the Premises, a portion
of the profits from any increase in the market rental value of the Premises shall belong to Landlord.
Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant voluntarily assigns this Lease or subleases any part or all of the
Premises, Tenants investment In the subject portion of the Premises (specifically including, but not limited
to, tenant improvements, good will or other assets) may be lost or reduced as a result of such action.
(b) Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease
or in the Premises, or sublease any part or all of the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment encumbrance or sublease without
Landlord's written consent shall be voidable and, at Landlord's election, shall constitute a default by
Tenant under this Lease. In determining whether to approve a proposed assignment or sublease,
Landlord shall place primary emphasis on the proposed transferee's reputation and creditworthiness, the
character of the business to be conducted by the proposed transferee at the Premises and the affect of
such assignment or subletting on the tenant mix in the Building. In addition, Landlord shall have the right
to approve the specific form of any assignment or sublease agreement. In no event shall Landlord be
obligated to consent to any assignment or subletting which increases (i) the Operating Costs, (ii) the
burden on the Building services, or (iii) the foot traffic, elevator usage or security concerns in the Building,
or creates an increased probability of the comfort and/or safety of the Landlord and other tenants in the
Building being unreasonably compromised or reduced (for example, but not exclusively, Landlord may
deny consent to an assignment or subletting where the space will be used for a school or training facility,
an entertainment sports or recreation facility, retail sales to the public (unless Tenant's permitted use is
retail sales), a personnel or employment agency, a medical office, or an embassy or consulate or similar
office). Landlord shall not be obligated to approve an assignment or subletting to (x) a current tenant of the
Building or (y) a prospective tenant of the Building with whom Landlord is then negotiating. Landlord's
foregoing rights and options shall continue throughout the entire term of this Lease. No consent to any
assignment, encumbrance or sublease shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section and no
other or subsequent assignment, encumbrance or sublease shall be made without Landlord's prior written
consent. Neither an assignment or subletting nor the collection of Rent by Landlord from any person other
than Tenant nor the application of any such Rent as provided in this Section shall be deemed a waiver of
any of the provisions of this Section or release Tenant from its obligation to comply with the terms and
provisions of this Lease and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for all of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent under this Lease. Any personal guarantee(s) of
Tenants obligations under this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such assignment or
subletting. In addition to Landlord's other rights under this Section, Landlord may condition approval of an
assignment or subletting hereunder on an increase in the amount of the Security Deposit or on receipt of
personal guarantees of the assignee's or sublessee's obligations under this Lease, if Landlord approves

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Should the City execute Interlocal Agreement Addendum #49, 54, and 55 which adds the cities of Tukwila, Algona,
and Pacific as partners to the Fiber Consortium?
Several years ago, the City joined the Fiber Consortium, a group of local government agencies comprised of local
cities, hospitals, schools, and utilities. The attached Fiber Optic Addendum #49, 54, and 55 supplements the
original agreement by adding the Cities of Tukwila, Algona, and Pacific to the Fiber Consortium as partners. By
adding these additional partners, the number of partners is increased, spreading future potential costs of getting fiber
to the other valley cities and Valley Communications Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Fiber Optic Addendums #49, 54, and 55 that adds the cities of Tukwila, Algona, and Pacific to
the Fiber Consortium.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
In 2002, the City invested in a feasibility study for an Electronic Records Management system which indicated that
the City has multiple systems with limited capabilities for document management and lacked a central system with
full functionalities for electronic document management, records keeping, and workflow. In 2008, the City's Municipal
Court applied for and was awarded grant funding through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
Program for imaging infractions and electronically filing and tracking them (grant total amount of $54,387.00).
Recognizing the opportunity to use the project as a pilot determining feasibility for a system that can be used
citywide, the Information Technology Division began a search for an electronic document and records management
system with the objective to research, select, and implement a system which can handle document capture,
electronic records management, electronic workflow, and capability to interface with other key systems in the City
which meets the technology framework.
The City issued an RFP on 05/13/10 and received nine responses. The top two vendors; VPCI/Laserfiche and Sire
Technologies were invited to deliver on-site demonstrations. Each vendor was provided with a demo script designed
to address the questions and concerns of the key departments (Court, City Clerk, Police, Public works, IT, and
Finance). Vendors were ranked by points on a total of eight categories. VPCI/Laserfiche received a total of 1,006
points and Sire Technologies 874. Reference checks on both vendors indicated more government agencies were
using VPCI/Laserfiche than Sire Technologies. The issue paper provides additional reference information. Both
vendors were asked to provide Phase I costs to implement the Court solution as well as a Phase II cost that
addresses records management functionality for the City Clerk's office. Phase I's purchase and implementation is
funded by a JAG grant and $4,541 from the Information Technology fund. Phase II and beyond are requested as part
of 2011/2012 budget. Please see attached for more details.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase from VPCI/Laserfiche for an electronic document and records management
system up to the amount of $58,928 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.

SUBJECT:Electronic Document and Records Management System
ISSUE
Should the City purchase an electronic document and records management system?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council authorize the purchase of an electronic document and records
management system from VPCI/Laserfiche for an amount not to exceed $58,928 and authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.
BACKGROUND
Subsequent to the recommendations from the study made in 2002 (high level requirements for
paperless technologies at City of Renton), Information Technology staff worked with key
departments and their staff to assess their core requirements for an electronic document and
records management system followed by a Request for Proposals (RFPs) in May of 2010. The RFP
included over 150 questions and specific requirements for the preferred system, but in general
the core requirements were;
·Capability to capture and store various types of documents and records from variety of
sources.
·Capability to intuitively store and organize records/documents, and advanced search and
retrieval tools.
·Incorporate enhanced security capabilities to separate documents by department,
groups, users, individual records and documents, portions of a document, and enhanced
transaction logging.
·Meet State and Federal electronic records certification requirements.
·Capability of automating and creating workflow around documents capable to track
versions and generate notifications.
·Capability to purchase and expand licenses, modules, and interfaces to various other City
systems as needed.
Representatives from the core departments reviewed and rated the responses to the RFP and
scored them based on their specific business needs as well as general requirements. Responses5j. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends

were then tallied and the top two vendors were invited on-site for further review, questions and
answers, systems demonstrations, and to display specific functionalities based on scenarios
important to the City.
Following is a combined summary of the staff’s evaluation and scores:
Functionality VPCI/Laserfiche Sire Technologies
Document Capture Both systems have comparable scanning
and image cleanup functions
VPCI/Laserfiche demonstrated the full
functionality of image cleanup and was
ranked as the leader in this area. (191)
Better
Sire Technologies described the full functionality available that
would be used, demonstrating only the basic document
capture ranking. Sire was second in this area.(168)Good
Document Access and
Retrieval
VPCI/Laserfiche was able to demonstrate
all the functions ranking second in this area
due to user interface. (152) Good
The Sire interfaces as demonstrated for search and retrieval
were more straightforward ranking it as the leader in this area.
(163) Better
Security The interface and depth of functionality
demonstrated ranked VPCI/Laserfiche
second in this area. (86) Good
The straightforward interface and depth of security
configuration ranked Sire as the leader in this area. (100)
Better
Electronic Records
Management
The strength of VPCI/Laserfiche’s
experience in Electronic Records
Management certification particularly in
Washington State made VPCI/Laserfiche
the leader in this area. (321) Better
The system as demonstrated has comparable functionality for
Electronic Records Management; however the lack of
demonstrated knowledge and customer references ranked Sire
second. (209) Good
Work-Flow Both systems have similar functionality
around workflow and rules definitions. The
interface for VPCI/Laserfiche is less
standard and seemed to be more difficult
to use, resulting in a second place ranking
in this area. (76) Good
Sire’s use of the Visio interface to define workflow and the
ease at viewing the stage of an action resulted in the leading
rank in this area. (81)Better
Other Functions- Digital
Signatures, Redactions
VPCI/Laserfiche was able to demonstrate
wide flexibility in this area resulting in the
leading rank. (46)Better
While functionality was comparable, Sire ranked second in this
area, due to lack of demonstrating the actual functionality. (41)
Good
Specific Workflow
Scenarios
(Each vendor was provided
with three scenarios to
present during the
demonstration.)
VPCI/Laserfiche was able to demonstrate to
the users each scenario in a proper context
ranking as the leader in this area. (81)
Better
Sire was not as effective at demonstrating the specific areas to
the users thereby ranking second in this area(58) Good
Technical Including
Interfaces
VPCI/VPCI/Laserfiche was able to
demonstrate a JIS interface which is
important for phase I for Court;
VPCI/Laserfiche has more integration tools
for government applications. (53) Good
Sire was able to demonstrate better functionality around file
folder structures and talk about network storage. (54) Good
Implementation
VPCI/VPCI/Laserfiche has recommended
implementation days of 14.5 with 6.5 of
those being onsite with the remaining
items being conducted remotely. Better
Sire has recommended implementation days of 7 with an
unspecified number of those days being onsite vs. remote.
Sire did make a statement that implementation and training
days can be interchangeable based on what we would like to
have happen. Good
Training
VPCI has recommended 3.5 training days
which reportedly is reflective of the ease of
use of the system from both administrative
and end user perspectives. Good
Sire has recommended 8 training days - 4 each for
administrators and end users trainings which reportedly allows
for more user comfort and confidence. Good
Reference Checks
(Reference checks were
performed on both
customers. In general
customers are happy with
the vendor they have
selected.)
VPCI/Laserfiche users tended to be live on
the system sooner than Sire users. This
appears to be reflective of the attention
that is paid to the implementation process
as well as the experience of the VPCI staff.
Better
Anecdotal indications are that VPCI/Laserfiche has more
application interfaces than the newer SIRE product. Specific
mention was made of the Eden interface to VPCI/Laserfiche.
The primary difficulties mentioned were related to scanner
technology, not the back end servers, networks, and databases
of support systems. Good
