SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Rainier Avenue condemnation proceeding will affect one existing building, resulting in a conforming
structure becoming nonconforming. This issue may also arise with other structures in the Rainier
Avenue corridor or in future acquisitions by the City. This problem is alleviated by the proposed
amendment to RMC 4-10-050 so that any structure made nonconforming by the City acquiring an
interest in the real propety by condemnation or otherwise, shall still be a conforming structure after the
taking. The reason for this amendment is fundamental fairness to property owners who have
conforming structures on their real property which are only rendered nonconforming due to the City
acquiring an interest in the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance amending RMC 4-10-050, Legal Nonconforming Structures, Uses and Lots.

City Code allows the City to grant a latecomer agreement when sanitary sewer facilities are installed by
a developer, in order to ensure that each property benefiting from the new facility be assessed its fair
share of the costs. On June 1, 2009, Council granted preliminary approval of a latecomer (LA-09-001)
request to Daljit Singh Gill and Hardip Singh Gill. Following construction and the determination of actual
costs, staff presents the latecomer agreement for final approval by Council. Daljit Singh Gill and Hardip
Singh Gill have installed the agreed upon improvements and transferred title of these improvements to
the City. The final authorized cost is $93,861.32.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Grant a final 15-year latecomer agreement (LA-09-001) to Daljit Singh Gill and Hardip Singh Gill for a
sanitary sewer main extension along NE 7th Pl between Field Ave NE and Hoquiam Ave NE and
authorize staff to finalize the latecomer agreement per City Code.

STAFF CONTACT:Angie Mathias, x6576
SUBJECT:Proposed Sterling Annexation – 10% Notice of Intent Petition
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition to annex 36.6-acres for the proposed
Sterling Annexation area by the direct petition method. State law requires that the Council hold
a public meeting with the annexation proponents within 60 days of receipt of a 10% Notice of
Intent petition. The purpose of the meeting is for Council to decide whether to accept or reject
the proposal and whether to require the simultaneous adoption of City zoning consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan, if the proposed annexation is successful.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the
10% Notice of Intent petition. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that it take
the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
·Accept the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition; and
·Authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition of Annex for the 36.6-acre area; and
·Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area accept City of
Renton zoning that is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan land use
designation.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The proposed 36.6-acre Sterling Annexation is located at the eastern portion of the City limits in
the East Renton Plateau area. The Sterling Annexation Area is bordered to the north by the
Urban Growth Boundary, to the east by 156th Avenue Southeast if extended, to the south by
Northeast 4th Street, and to the west by parcels lines.
1.Location: The proposed 36.6-acre Sterling Annexation is bordered by the existing
eastern edge of the City limits in the East Renton Plateau area.
2.Assessed value: The 2011 assessed valuation of the subject annexation site is
$24,684,900.
3.Natural features: The area is topographically level with slopes of approximately 3.5%

over the length of the area.
4.Existing land uses: There are 88 single-family residences and vacant residential
property.
5.Existing zoning: Existing King County zoning is R-4. This area was prezoned by the City of
Renton as part of the East Renton Plateau pre-zoning. City of Renton Ordinance #5254
prezoned the area with R-4 zoning; this zoning will become effective upon annexation.
6.Comprehensive Plan: Renton’s Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation
site as Residential Low Density (RLD).
7.School District: The Sterling Annexation area is in the Issaquah School District.
8.Public services: All responding City of Renton departments and divisions noted that the
annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems and
presents no foreseeable problems. Specific comments follow:
Water Utility. The subject site is located within Water District No. 90’s water service
area by agreement under the coordinated water system plan. A certificate of water
availability from District 90 will be required prior to the issuance of development
permits within the subject area, following annexation to the City. It is expected that
developer extensions of District No. 90’s water mains will be required to provide
service for fire protection and domestic use within the annexation area. The
proposed area will not generate need for additional City employees because it is
within Water District No. 90.
Wastewater Utility. The area is within the Renton wastewater service area and is
currently served with sewer service by the City. The annexation does not present
any problems for the utility.
Parks. The Community Services department indicated that the annexation
represents a logical extension of the services provided by their department. Staff
noted that the area is currently underserved with Renton parks and recreation.
However, there are King County’s Coal Field Park is adjacent to the site. Staff noted
that it is not anticipated that the City would incur additional expenses as a result of
this annexation.
Police. The Police Department did not indicate any concerns regarding this
proposed annexation.
Fire. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently provide fire and emergency
services to the area under a contract with District #25. Staff indicated that an
additional fire hydrant should be installed at the corner of 155th Avenue SE and SE
124th Street.
Surface Water. Future development will be required to comply with the City’s
Surface Water Design Manual and the Flow Control Duration Matching Forested Site
Conditions should be applied, as well. The annexation is a logical extension of the

services provided by the division. Any future development within the area would
require additional public storm system construction and would require additional
resources for maintenance of such infrastructure.
Transportation Systems. The Transportation Systems staff has no concerns
regarding the proposed annexation. Staff indicated that additional Transportation
Systems staff would not be required and that the annexation represents a logical
extension of services. Staff indicated that dedication of right-of-way on NE 4th Street
will be required to accommodate the adopted NE 3rd/NE 4th Street Corridor
Improvement Plan. The roadways in the area have not been constructed to include
curb, gutter, and sidewalks, which is the current Renton development standard for
roadways. If the area was to be improved with curb, gutter, and sidewalks in the
future acquisition of right-of-way may be required. Also, roadway pavement width
and thickness do not meet current Renton standards. The area does have street
lighting, but it does not meet current Renton Standards. Energy costs associated
with existing and new street lighting, existing and new traffic control signage, and
pavement markings would be incurred by the City, but should not be a financial
burden. Staff indicated that the City would assume ownership and responsibility of
all existing streets in the area.
Public Works Maintenance. The annexation does not present any problems for the
Department and it represents a logical extension of their services. Staff noted that
the area includes approximately one mile of roadway and that they currently are
staffed to have one employee per eleven miles of roadway.
Building. The Building section did not indicate any concerns regarding the proposed
annexation.
Planning. The Planning section did not indicate any concerns regarding the proposed
annexation and stated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their
services. Staff noted that the annexation does not present an increased need for
City staff, but does represent an incremental increase in inquiries made.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton’s Comprehensive Plan annexation policies support this proposed annexation.
The subject site is within the City’s Potential Annexation Area, is subject to development
pressure that might benefit from City Development Standards, and is land that is
available for urbanization under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning, and
subdivision regulations (Policy LU-38). Additionally, as Policy LU-36 states, the City
recognizes “that it has an inherent interest in future land use decisions affecting its
Potential Annexation Area”.
2.Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a.Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
7h. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition for the Page 46 of 249
Proposed Sterling Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
Page 4 of 5
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b.Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The subject site is bounded on its western portion by existing City limits and uses
streets or parcel lines for the other boundaries.
c.Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of this
annexation. The Sterling Annexation Area is in the Issaquah School District. The
school district boundaries will not change, the area will remain in the Issaquah
School District. Renton will take over police service for the 36.6-acres upon
annexation; the King County Sheriff’s Department currently provides police
protection to the area. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently provide
service under contract to Fire District #25 which serves the area. Pursuant to
state law, there will be no change in the garbage service provider for at least
seven years.
d.Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation does not have irregular boundaries.
e.Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable. No incorporations are proposed in this area.
f.Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts here.
g.Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable.
h.Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its
location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated that
it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to these unincorporated
urban areas by turning them over to cities as quickly as possible. Because the
subject annexation site is within Renton’s PAA and not in an area under
consideration for incorporation, annexation is appropriate at this time.
i.Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the
county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation are rural or designated
for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or Renton
Comprehensive Plans.
3.A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. This fiscal analysis is in the
process of being revised, the attached represents the work to date. However, revisions
may be made in the future. The fiscal analysis indicates that the proposed annexation
7h. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%

would represent $110,327 in revenue to the Operating Fund and $53,991 in costs.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the annexation would represent $16,805 in revenues
to the Capital and Enterprise Funds and $6,009 in costs.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Sterling Annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation
policies, as well as most Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. The proposed
Annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well as applicable
Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. The staff that reviewed the proposed
annexation for each department did not identify any major impediments to the provision of City
services to the area or indicate that they feel the annexation is untimely.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Council received a 60% Direct Petition to Annex on December 16, 2010, to annex approximately
16.3-acres of unincorporated King County located within Renton’s Potential Annexation Area. The
proponent’s petition has been certified by King County as having signatures representing at least 60%
of the area’s assessed valuation.
Under State law, the Council is required to hold a public hearing to consider the annexation petition and
the zoning in order to provide interested parties the opportunity to speak. Following the public hearing,
Council may approve the annexation of all or any portion of the area proposed for annexation. The site
is currently designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on the City’s Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
The area was prezoned R-4 (allowing four dwelling units per net acre) as part of the East Renton
Plateau prezone (Ordinance #5254).
The Administration is also seeking authorization to forward the Notice of Intent Package to the
Boundary Review Board if Council decides to accept the 60% Direct Petition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Set June 20, 2011, for a public hearing to consider the 60% Direct Petition and proposed zoning for the
Tess Annexation and to authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent package to the
Boundary Review Board for King County.

SUBJECT:Tess Annexation - Acceptance of 60% Direct Petition to
Annex
ISSUES:
Should the City Council accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex from the Tess
Annexation Area now that the petition has been certified by the King County
Department of Assessments?
If the City Council accepts the 60% Direct Petition, should the Administration be directed
to forward the Notice of Intent package for this annexation to the Boundary Review
Board?
RECOMMENDATION:
·Council accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex the 16.3-acre Tess
Annexation site;
·Council authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent for
the Tess Annexation to the Boundary Review Board for King County for
their review.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
At its February 7, 2011 public meeting, Council accepted the 10% Notice of Intent to
Commence Annexation petition and authorized the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition
to Annex. City of Renton departments reviewed the annexation proposal and all staff
reported that the annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services
and systems. There were no issues identified that would impede the annexation. A
more detailed discussion of this proposed annexation and review comments are
contained in the Department’s February 7, 2011, Tess Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
issue paper.
Zoning
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for the annexation area is
Residential Low Density (RLD). The area was prezoned Residential Four Dwelling Units
per net Acre (R-4) as part of the East Renton Prezone (Ordinance #5254). The R-4 zoning
will become effective at the time of annexation.

Revised Fiscal Analysis
At the direction of Council, Staff has been working on revising the methodology
andassumptions used to analyze the fiscal impact a proposed annexation is
anticipated tohave on the City. Many revisions have been made to the analysis
to try to moreaccurately reflect the financial impacts an annexation may have upon
the City.
One of the principal changes made is to evaluate departmental costs based on what
“drives” that cost. For example, the cost of an annexation area to the City for police
service is driven by calls for service. Costs for street maintenance are driven by the lane
miles within the area. There are also now more City divisions included in the cost
analysis. For example, costs to provide human services, special events and
neighborhoods, as well as parks planning and natural resources have been added. The
costs estimates are based on the 2011 budget and the official Census population figure
(90,927). An effort was made to not include costs associated with staffing positions
unlikely to be impacted by small incremental annexations, e.g. supervisors, directors,
etc. The revenues for the analysis are derived from the 2011 budget assumptions
specifically associated with the Benson Hill area. Finally, factors for inflation to both
revenues and costs have been added.
The fiscal analysis is continuing to be refined and has been circulated to departments for
their review. Fiscal analysis for the Tess annexation using the revised model is attached.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Tess Annexation has been certified as having sufficient signatures
representing at least 60% of the area’s assessed value. It also has reasonable
boundaries and appears to comply with Boundary Review Board objectives. Reviewing
staff raised no objections to this annexation. The proposed Tess Annexation furthers the
City’s Business Plan goals and is in the general welfare and interest of the City. The
Administration recommends the Council accept the 60% Direct Petition and authorize
staff to forward the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board for King
County.

Commencing formal renewal proceedings with

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton grants Comcast the right to operate and provide cable television services within the
City through a franchise. Comcast’s franchise was last renewed in 2008 and will expire in September,
2014. Comcast recently invoked formal franchise renewal proceedings and notified Renton of its wish to
preserve formal franchise renewal rights (a standard letter that Comcast sends to a city up to three
years prior to the expiration of its franchise as provided for in federal regulations). Franchise renewal
can occur through informal or formal negotiations. To respond to Comcast’s notification, notify the
public, and commence formal renewal proceedings, the Administration requests commencement of
formal renewal proceedings with Comcast by resolution. This signals the City's intent to review the
franchise and the performance of the cable operator, and to identify the City’s future cable related
needs and interests. City notification needs to occur some time during the 6 months following the
notice from Comcast.
In the prior renewal, Renton used the franchise renewal process to review cable operations within the
City. This evaluation included a compliance review to ensure Comcast was meeting the terms of the
franchise, including system construction and extension; a system technical review of Comcast’s
physical plant within Renton to ensure code compliance; a review of the rate order forms over the prior
term of the franchise to ensure alignment with published rates; a franchise fee review; a review of
community cable-related needs by users; Public, Educational and Governmental access (PEG) interests
and fees; and other reviews that would materially affect cable television services and costs. Through
competitive RFP, Renton procured the assistance of Bradley & Guzzetta during the last franchise
renewal for these reviews, and will now begin to assess the need for internal and external support for
franchise renewal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to commence formal franchise renewal proceedings with Comcast.

Subject: FRANCHISE RENEWAL
Dear Ms. Walton:
We at Comcast appreciate the opportunity to serve the citizens of Renton. It is our credo that
we will he the company to look to first for the communications products and services that
connect people to what's important in their lives. In living our credo, we look forward to-
providing broadband services to our customers in Renton for many years to come. Therefore,
we are taking this step to ensure the renewal of our franchise with. you.
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 3984 ("the 1984 Cable Act") encourages franchisors
and cable operators to reach renewal agreements at any time through an informal process of
discussion. However, Section 626 of the 1984 Cable Act also provides for commencement of a
formal renewal procedure. To preserve our statutory rights to this formal procedure, this letter
is our official notice to you invoking that provision.
This letter is not intended to introduce a new formality into our discussions, nor is that the
intention of the 1984 Cable Act. In fact, we prefer to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement
through informal negotiations, thus making many of the 1984 Cable Act's formal procedures
unnecessary.
I will be happy to discuss this matter with you, or provide any additional information that you
may require. I look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to continuing a
relationship that, we believe, benefits both the community and the residents of Renton.
Sincerely,
Terry Davis
Director, Franchising and Government Affairs

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The EMPG provides supplemental funding to support key components of a comprehensive national
emergency management system for disasters and emergencies. For 2010, the City was granted
$130,366 through the EMPG. To date we have received $35,010 of the grant funds. Due to federally
mandated environmental and equipment reviews the deadline needs to be extended until July 31, 2011
to allow for approved purchases and reimbursement. There was insufficient time for the state to
process the EMPG 2010 contract extension as an amendment, approved earlier this year, prior to the
deadline. The state has reissued the grant under a new contract number for the remainder of the grant
amount of $95,356. Wording, intent, new deadline and total grant amount remain the same.

and state laws and regulations regarding the monitoring, documentation, and monitoring of
subrecipient grant activities using federal financial assistance. Management and
implementation guidelines for the federal programs ensure compliance with statutes, grant

comply with reporting requirements.
The Department as the Recipient and/or Pass-Through Entity will conduct on-site visits as
appropriate and required by contract for “for-profit” subrecipients, since the A-133 Single

addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

equipment or supplies provided for which no separate price is stated, (ii) partially completed work and
services and/or equipment or supplies provided which are accepted by the Department, (iii) other work,
services and/or equipment or supplies which are accepted by the Department, and (iv) the protection
and preservation of property.

this contract. If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of
the Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Contractor for termination. The
Department may withhold from any amounts due the Contractor such sum as the Department
determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability.

Exhibit B
Statement of Work
FFY 2010 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program
INTRODUCTION: The Washington State Military Department Emergency Management Division (EMD)
receives funding each year from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) through the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG). The funding
assists state and local governments enhance and sustain all-hazards emergency management capabilities as
authorized by Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207). Funds for the FFY 2010 EMPG program are appropriated under the
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-83).
A portion of FY2010 EMPG grant has been identified by the state to be passed through to local jurisdictions
and tribes that have emergency management programs to supplement their local/tribal operating budgets.
Each jurisdiction or tribe, that applied and meets the qualifications specified in WAC 118-09 regarding
emergency management assistance funds, is awarded a contract based on the size of their agency’s
emergency management operating budget.
The Scope of Work outlines the activities and deliverables the Contractor has identified to be performed for
FFY10 EMPG. The Timeline outlines the schedule that the Contractor agrees to in order to fulfill the contract
deliverables during the contract performance period. The Budget Sheet outlines the Contractor’s emergency
management operating budget (excluding federal funds) that is dedicated to emergency management activities,
upon which their award is based.
City of Renton Fire and Emergency Service Department (herein known as the Contractor) agrees to the
following:
GENERAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
1. Report progress on deliverables and advise the Military Department, in writing, of necessary adjustments
to the content of the contract, including modification of the local/tribal emergency management budget.
Performance reports will be submitted by email to the EMPG Program Assistant as required in the
contract Milestones.
2. Adhere to all administrative, financial and procurement guidance, including competitive processes and
other procurement requirements, to include: Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133
(Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations), Federal Emergency Management
Agency’s codified regulations, 44 CFR Part 13 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and
Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments) and 2 CFR Part 225 (Cost Principles for
State, Local, and Indian tribal Governments), and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Part 31.2,
Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, Contracts with Commercial Organizations. Local and state
procurement and contracting regulations take precedent over these requirements when local and state
regulations are more stringent.
• Adhere to DHS requirements that all sole source contracts over $100,000 be reviewed and
approved by the Department prior to execution of a contract. This requirement must be passed on
