SUBJECT:Proposed Tess Annexation – 10% Notice of Intent Petition
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition to annex 16.3-acres for the proposed
Tess 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 16.3-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 16.3-acre Tess Annexation is located at the eastern portion of the City limits in
the East Renton Plateau area. The Tess Annexation Area is bordered to the north by Southeast
132nd Street, to the east by 164th Avenue Southeast, to the south by Southeast 134nd Street, and
to the west by 160th Avenue Southeast.
1.Location: The proposed 16.3-acre Tess Annexation is bordered by the existing eastern
edge of the City limits in the East Renton Plateau area.
2.Assessed value: The 2010 assessed valuation of the subject annexation site is
$2,509,000.
3.Natural features: The area is generally topographically level with slopes of
7c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed Tess Annexation and Page 6 of 121
Proposed Tess Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
Page 2 of 5
approximately 6% over the length of the area.
4.Existing land uses: There are seven 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 Tess 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. Sewer
main extensions will be required to serve the area if properties develop and it is
anticipated that new construction would bear the costs of extending the sewer lines.
The annexation does not present any problems for the utility and it represents a
logical extension of their services.
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 three King County parks within approximately ½ mile of the area.
If new parks were to be developed in the future to serve the area, additional
staffing and programming would be necessary.
Police. The Police Department did not indicate any concerns regarding this
proposed annexation. Staff noted that no new staff would be required to serve the
area and that the annexation does not present any problems for the department.
Staff indicated that the area represents a logical extension of their services.
Fire. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently provides fire and emergency
services to the area under a contract with District #25. Staff did not indicate any
concerns regarding this proposed annexation.
Surface Water. The area is located in two drainage basins, the May Creek and Cedar
7c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed Tess Annexation and Page 7 of 121
Proposed Tess Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
Page 3 of 5
River basins. 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 area contains no surface water
infrastructure, but conveys runoff via a ditch and culverts, or via sheet flow. The City
would assume maintenance responsibility for the ditches, culverts, etc. Any future
development within the area would require additional public storm system
construction and would require additional resources for maintenance of such
infrastructure. Staff indicates the annexation is a logical extension of their services.
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. Southeast 132nd Street and Southeast 134th Street do not meet
the current Renton street standards. A portion of Southeast 132nd and all of
Southeast 134th do not have adequate right-of-way width to construct a street that
would meet current Renton street standards. 162nd Avenue Southeast and 164th
Avenue Southeast are not currently improved as streets, but are used as access
streets for abutting properties. These streets do have adequate right-of-way width
to meet City standards. Staff noted that the streets do not include curb, gutter,
sidewalks, and there is only one streetlight. Energy costs associated with existing
and new street lighting, existing and new traffic control signage, and pavement
markings 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 City would assume ownership and maintenance responsibility of the streets and
storm water infrastructure that is located within the area.
Building. The Building section did not indicate any concerns regarding the proposed
annexation. The annexation does not present any increased need for City staff.
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. The annexation does not present any increased need for City staff.
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”.

Page 4 of 5
2.Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a.Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
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 Tess 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 16.3-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
7c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to annex petition for the proposed Tess Annexation and Page 9 of 121
Proposed Tess Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
Page 5 of 5
for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or Renton
Comprehensive Plans.
3.A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. The fiscal impact analysis that
is used for annexations considers costs on a per capita basis. The fiscal analysis indicates
that the proposed annexation would have an initial net negative fiscal impact of $4,336
per year. A significant contributing factor to the negative fiscal impact is the amount of
roadway this proposed annexation includes. Approximately 2,400 lineal feet of roadway
is estimated to cost approximately $5,400/year to maintain. This proposed annexation
takes in roadways that if not included would significantly diminish the negative fiscal
impact. However, it is in the City’s best interest, and is the preference of the roads
division, to assume maintenance of county roadways. Over a 10-year buildout period, it
is estimated that the fiscal impact would become positive at $12,499 per year.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Tess 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.

assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 21 of 121
Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of the Leasehold Excise Tax (as further described
below), Business & Occupation Tax and Sales Tax, as applicable.
So long as the Property is owned by Lessor and is exempt from general real estate taxes as a
municipal corporation in accordance with RCW 84.36.010, Lessee shall be obligated to pay the
applicable Leasehold Excise Tax (a.k.a. “Rent Excise Tax”) on the Base Rent and Revenue

and other utilities and services used by Lessee on the Property during the Lease Term. Under no
circumstances shall Lessee be responsible for any charges for water, sewer, gas, electricity, heat,
telephone, and other utilities and services, which are not under the control of Lessee and for the
use of providing services under this contract as a meeting, banquet and event facility.
Section 4.3 Insurance Policies:
(a) Liability Insurance. Lessee shall maintain in full force throughout the duration of the Lease
Term a policy of commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad form
comprehensive general liability insurance) insuring Lessee against liability for bodily injury,
property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal injury or death arising out of
the operation, use or occupancy of the Property. Said liability insurance policy shall specifically
list “Liquor Liability Included” as a provision. Lessee shall name Lessor as an additional insured
under such policy. The initial amount of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate and shall be
subject to periodic increase based upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of
Lessor’s professional insurance advisors and other relevant factors. Lessee shall also maintain in
full force throughout the duration of the Lease Term a policy of automobile liability insurance
insuring Lessee against liability for bodily injury, property damage and personal injury or death
arising out of the operation or use of a vehicle by Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors and
invitees in connection with the operation, use or occupancy of the Property. The initial amount
of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. The liability
insurance obtained by Lessee under this Section 4.3 shall (i) be primary and non-contributing;
(ii) contain cross-liability endorsements; and (iii) insure Lessor against Lessee’s performance
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 22 of 121
under Section 5.6, if the matters giving rise to the indemnity under Section 5.6 result from the
negligence of Lessee. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit Lessee’s
liability nor relieve Lessee of any other obligation under this Lease. Lessor may also obtain
comprehensive public liability insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Lessor
insuring Lessor against liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the
Property. The policy obtained by Lessor shall not be contributory and shall not provide primary
insurance.
If Lessee requires any agent, contractor, user or invitee to secure or maintain liability insurance
related to alterations to or maintenance, operation, use or occupancy of the Property, Lessee shall
require such liability insurance to include Lessor as an additional insured on such policies.
Notwithstanding the above, Lessor accepts liability for the use of the Pavilion Building
restrooms for Piazza Events provided for in Subsection 5.4.2.
(b) Property Insurance. During the Lease Term, Lessor shall maintain policies of insurance to
be paid for by Lessor covering loss of or damage to the Property in the full amount of its
replacement value. Such policy shall contain an inflation guard Endorsement and shall provide
protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk), sprinkler leakage and any other
perils which Lessor deems reasonably necessary. Lessor shall not obtain insurance for Lessee’s
fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed by Lessee on the Property. Lessee
shall maintain policies of insurance for Lessee’s fixtures or equipment or building improvements
installed by Lessee on the Property.
(c) General Insurance Provisions.
(i) Any insurance which Lessee is required to maintain under this Lease shall include a provision
which requires the insurance carrier to give Lessor not less than forty five (45) days written
notice prior to any cancellation or modification of such coverage.
(ii) If Lessee fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to Lessor required under this Lease
within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is canceled or modified during the Lease
Term without Lessor’s consent, Lessor may obtain such insurance, in which case Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for the cost of such insurance within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a
statement that indicates the cost of such insurance.
(iii) Lessee shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies rated A-XV or
better in Best’s Insurance Guide, and which are authorized to transact business in the State of
Washington. If at any time during the Lease Term, Lessee is unable to maintain the insurance
required under the Lease, Lessee shall nevertheless maintain insurance coverage which is
customary and commercially reasonable in the insurance industry for Lessee’s type of business,
as that coverage may change from time to time. Lessor makes no representation as to the
adequacy of such insurance to protect Lessor’s or Lessee’s interest. Therefore, Lessee shall
obtain any such additional property or liability insurance which Lessee deems necessary to
protect Lessor and Lessee.
(iv) Lessee and Lessor hereby release and discharge each other from all claims, losses and
liabilities arising from or caused by any hazard covered by property insurance on or in
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 23 of 121
connection with the premises or said building. This release shall apply only to the extent that
such claim, loss or liability is covered by insurance.
Section 4.4 Maintenance of Facility:
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement for the cost of:
(i) Lessor performing any maintenance to the Premises for which Lessee is responsible and
which Lessee approves in writing and (ii) Lessor performing any emergency maintenance to
safeguard and preserve the integrity of the Premises if Lessor is unable to reach Lessee in an
emergency for Lessee to perform the maintenance.
Section 4.5 Common Exterior Areas; Use, Maintenance and Costs:
For the purpose of this Section 4.5, Common Exterior Areas are defined as the Piazza Park on
the south side of the Pavilion Building and the public parking lot, Renton Transit Center and City
Center Parking Garage on the north side of the Pavilion Building as identified in Exhibit “B,”
Project Site Plan. If Lessor encounters damage (beyond normal wear and tear) or extraordinary
trash in the Common Exterior Areas that are attributed to Lessee’s use of the Premises, Lessor
shall notify Lessee to allow Lessee to perform the required maintenance or custodial services. If
Lessee elects not to perform the required maintenance or custodial services, Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor within thirty (30) days after receipt of a statement for the cost of performing
such work so long as the damage or extraordinary trash is related to the Lessee’s use of the
Premises.
Section 4.6 Late Charges:
Lessee’s failure to pay rent promptly may cause Lessor to incur unanticipated costs. The exact
amount of such costs are impractical or difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor
by any ground lease, mortgage or other encumbrance on the Property. Consequently, if Lessor
does not receive any Rent payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Lessee shall pay
Lessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount for each month that it is
overdue. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment.
Section 4.7 Interest on Past Due Obligations:
Any amount owed by Lessee to Lessor which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate
of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due date of such amount, however, interest shall not
be payable on late charges to be paid by Lessee under this Lease. The payment of interest on
such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease. If the interest rate
specified in this Lease is higher than the rate then permitted by law, the interest rate shall be
decreased to the maximum legal interest rate then permitted by law.

such Piazza events to promote shared use of the Pavilion Building restrooms, if possible.
However, if Lessee has another use scheduled for the Pavilion Building where shared use of the
restrooms is not possible for one (1) or more of the above Piazza events, Lessee shall provide
Lessor with at least thirty (30) days advanced notice, in which case Lessee shall not provide

commercially available portable toilets at its own expense, if desired. If there is no other event
scheduled or another event scheduled where the Pavilion Building restrooms may be shared,
Lessee shall make the restrooms at the Pavilion Building available for $50.00 for each eight (8)

any claims for labor or material furnished to the Property.
Section 6.5 Condition Upon Termination of Lease:
Upon the termination of the Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Property to Lessor, broom clean
and in the same condition as received except for ordinary wear and tear which Lessee was not

obligated to repair any damage which Lessor is required to repair under Article 7 (Damage or
Destruction). All alterations, additions and improvements shall become Lessor’s property and
shall be surrendered to Lessor upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease, except that
Lessee may remove any of Lessee’s machinery or equipment which can be removed without
material damage to the Property. Lessee shall repair, at Lessee’s expense, any damage to the
Property caused by the removal of any such machinery, specialty cabinets installed by Lessee,
computer, telephone or other communication or electronic equipment, or other equipment. In no
event, however, shall Lessee remove any of the following materials or equipment (which shall be
deemed Lessor’s property) without Lessor’s prior written consent: any power wiring or power
panels; lighting or lighting fixtures, wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window coverings;
carpets or other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners or any other heating or air conditioning
equipment; fencing or security gates or security systems; or other similar building operating
equipment and decorations.
Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or early termination of this Lease, Lessee shall
remove from the Premises, at its sole expense, all equipment, furnishings, and other personal
property owned and placed in or on the Premises by the Lessee unless otherwise provided for in
the Lease. If Lessee fails to removed such equipment, furnishings, and other personal property
within the time allowed, Lessor may, but need not, remove said personal property and hold it for
the owners thereof, or place the same in storage, all at the expense and risk of the owners thereof,
and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with such
removal and storage. Lessor shall have the right to sell such stored property, without notice to
Lessee, after it has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more, the proceeds of such sale
to be applied first to the cost of sale, second to payment of any charges for storage, and third to
the payment of any other amounts which may then be due from Lessee to Lessor, and the
balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee.
ARTICLE 7. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 7.1 Partial Damage to Property:
(a) Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing immediately upon the occurrence of an y damage to the
Property. If the Property is only partially damaged, [i.e., less than fifty percent (50%) of the
Property is unleaseable as a result of such damage or less than fifty percent (50%) of Lessee’s
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 32 of 121
operations are materially impaired], and if the proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance
policies described in Subsection 4.3(b) are sufficient to pay for the necessary repairs, this Lease
shall remain in effect and Lessor shall repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible. Lessor
may elect (but is not required) to repair any damage to Lessee’s fixtures, equipment, or
improvements. Lessee shall pay Lessor, if the damage was due to an act or omission of Lessee,
or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, the “deductible amount,” if any, under
Lessor’s insurance policies.
(b) If the insurance proceeds received by Lessor are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of repair,
or if the cause of the damage is not covered by the insurance policies which Lessor maintains
under Section 4.3, Lessor may elect either to (i) repair the damage as soon as reasonably
possible, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease
as of the date the damage occurred. Lessor shall notify Lessee within thirty (30) days after
receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage whether Lessor elects to repair the damage or
terminate the Lease. Lessee shall pay Lessor, if the damage was due to an act or omission of
Lessee, or Lessee’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, the “deductible amount,” if any,
under Lessor’s insurance policies. If Lessor elects to terminate the Lease, Lessee may elect to
continue this Lease in full force and effect, in which case Lessee shall repair any damage to the
Property and any building in which the Property is located. Lessee shall pay the cost of such
repairs, except that upon satisfactory completion of such repairs, Lessor shall deliver to Lessee
any insurance proceeds received by Lessor for the damage repaired by Lessee. Lessee shall give
Lessor written notice of such election within ten (10) days after receiving Lessor’s termination
notice.
(c) If the damage to the Property occurs during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term and
such damage will require more than thirty (30) days to repair, either Lessor or Lessee may elect
to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency of any
insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to
the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s notice to Lessor of the
occurrence of the damage.
Section 7.2 Substantial or Total Destruction:
If the Property is substantially or totally destro yed by any cause whatsoever (i.e., the damage to
the Property is greater than partial damage as described in Section 7.1, and regardless of whether
Lessor receives any insurance proceeds, this Lease shall terminate as of the date the destruction
occurred. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Property can be rebuilt within six (6)
months after the date of destruction, Lessor may elect to rebuild the Property at Lessor’s own
expense, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Lessor shall notify Lessee
of such election within thirty (30) days after Lessee’s notice of the occurrence of total or
substantial destruction. If Lessor so elect, Lessor shall rebuild the Property at Lessor’s sole
expense, except that if the destruction was caused by an act or omission of Lessee.
Section 7.3 Temporary Reduction of Rent:
If the Property is destroyed or damaged and Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the Property
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, any rent payable during the period of such damage
repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Lessee’s use
of the Property is impaired. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent, Lessee shall not be
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 33 of 121
entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Lessor as a result of any
damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Property.
Section 7.4 Destruction Waiver:
Lessee waives the protection of an y statute, code or judicial decision which grants a lessee the
right to terminate a lease in the event of the substantial or total destruction of the leased Property.
Lessee agrees that the provision of Section 7.2 above shall govern the rights and obligations of
Lessor and Lessee in the event of any substantial or total destruction to the Property.
ARTICLE 8. CONDEMNATION
If all or any portion of the Property is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the
threat of that power (all of which are called “Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the
part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever
occurs first. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the building in which the
Property is located, or which is located on the Property, is taken, either Lessor or Lessee may
terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by
delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such
taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority
takes title or possession). If neither Lessor nor Lessee terminates this Lease, this Lease shall
remain in effect as to the portion of the Property not taken, except that the Base Rent shall be
reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Property. Any Condemnation
Award or payment shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first, to any mortgagee or
beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Property, the amount of its interest in the
Property; (b) second, to Lessee, only the amount of any award specifically designated for loss of
or damage to Lessee’s trade fixtures or removable personal property; and (c) third, to Lessor, the
remainder of such award, whether as compensation for reduction in the value of the leasehold,
the taking of the fee, or otherwise. If this Lease is not terminated, Lessor shall repair an y
damage to the Property caused by the Condemnation, except that Lessor shall not be obligated to
repair any damage for which Lessee has been reimbursed by the condemning authority. If the
severance damages received by Lessor are not sufficient to pay for such repair, Lessor shall have
the right to either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Lessor’s expense.
ARTICLE 9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 9.1 Lessor’s Consent Required:
No portion of the Property or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease may be acquired by any other
person or entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law, or
act of Lessee (hereafter collectively referred to as a “Transfer”) without Lessor’s prior written
consent. Lessor has the right to grant or withhold its consent as provided in Section 9.3 below.
Any attempted Transfer without Lessor’s prior written consent shall be void and shall constitute
a non-curable breach of this Lease. If Lessee is a partnership or limited liability company, any
cumulative Transfer of more than twenty percent (20%) of the entity’s interests shall require
Lessor’s consent. If Lessee is a corporation, any change in the ownership of a controlling
interest of the voting stock of the corporation, cumulatively over the life of the Lease, shall
require Lessor’s consent.
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 34 of 121
Section 9.2 No Release of Lessee:
No Transfer shall release Lessee or change Lessee’s primary liability to pay the rent and to
perform all other obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Lessor’s acceptance of rent from any
other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Article 9. Consent to one Transfer is not
consent to any subsequent Transfer. If Lessee’s transferee defaults under this Lease, Lessor may
proceed directly against Lessee without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Lessor may
consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Lessee’s transferee, without
notifying Lessee or obtaining its consent. Such action shall not relieve Lessee’s liability under
this Lease.
Section 9.3 Lessor’s Consent:
Lessee’s request for consent to any Transfer described in Section 9.1 shall set forth in writing the
details of the proposed Transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the
prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed Transfer (e.g., the term of and the rent
and security deposit payable under any proposed assignment or sublease), and any other
information Lessor deems relevant. Lessor shall have the right to withhold consent, if
reasonable, or to grant consent, based on the following factors: (i) the business of the proposed
assignee or sublessee and the proposed use of the Property; (ii) the net worth and financial
reputation of the proposed assignee or sublessee; (iii) Lessee’s compliance with all of its
obligations under the Lease; and (iv) such other factors as Lessor may reasonably deem relevant.
ARTICLE 10. DEFAULT OR FAILURE OF CONSIDERATION
Lessee’s performance of each of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a
covenant. Lessee’s right to continue in possession of the Property is conditioned upon such
performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions.
Lessor may terminate the Lease and take possession of the Leased Premises in the event that the
Lessee shall have failed to perform any of the covenants or conditions of the Lease, and such
default or deficiency in performance was not remedied by the Lessee within thirty (30) days after
receiving notice in writing stating the nature of the default or deficiency and the Lessor’s
intention to terminate the Lease if not corrected.
ARTICLE 11. PROTECTION OF LENDERS
Section 11.1 Subordination:
Lessor shall have the right to subordinate this Lease to an y ground lease, deed of trust or
mortgage encumbering the Property, any advances made on the security thereof and any
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or
recorded. Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor and any lender which is acquiring a security
interest in the Property or the Lease. Lessee shall execute such further documents and
assurances as such lender may require, provided that Lessee’s obligations under this Lease shall
not be increased in any material way (the performance of ministerial acts shall not be deemed
material), and Lessee shall not be deprived of its rights under this Lease. Lessee’s right to quiet
possession of the Property during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Lessee pays the rent
and performs all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 35 of 121
ground Lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its ground
lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or
subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording
thereof.
Section 11.2 Attornment:
If Lessor’s interest in the Property is acquired b y any ground Lessor, beneficiary under a deed of
trust, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Lessee shall attorn to the transferee of or
successor to Lessor’s interest in the Property and recognize such transferee or successor as
Lessor under this Lease. Lessee waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives
or purports to give Lessee any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the
Property upon the transfer of Lessor’s interest.
Section 11.3 Signing of Documents:
Lessee shall sign and deliver any instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence
any such attornment or subordination or agreement to do so. If Lessee fails to do so within
twenty (20) days after written request, Lessee hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints
Lessor, or any transferee or successor of Lessor, the attorney-in-fact of Lessee to execute and
deliver any such instrument or document.
Section 11.4 Estoppel Certificates:
(a) Upon Lessor’s written request, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a
written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been
changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease
has not been canceled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Base Rent and other
charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that Lessor is not in default under this
Lease (or, if Lessor is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (v) such other representations
or information with respect to Lessee or the Lease as Lessor may reasonably request or which
any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property may require. Lessee shall deliver
such statement to Lessor within twenty (20) days after Lessor’s request. Lessor may give an y
such statement by Lessee to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property. Such
purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.
(b) If Lessee does not deliver such statement to Lessor within such twenty (20) day period,
Lessor, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely
upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed
except as otherwise represented by Lessor; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or
terminated except as otherwise represented by Lessor: (iii) that not more than one month’s Base
Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Lessor is not in default under the
lease. In such event, Lessee shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.

ARTICLE 12. LEGAL COSTS
Section 12.1 Legal Proceedings:
If Lessee or Lessor shall be in breach or default under this Lease, such party (the “Defaulting
Party”) shall reimburse the other party (the “Nondefaulting Party”) upon demand for any costs or
expenses that the Nondefaulting Party incurs in connection with any breach or default of the
Defaulting Party under this Lease, whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered. Such
costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement
of rights or otherwise. Furthermore, if any action for breach of or to enforce the provisions of
this Lease is commenced, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor a
judgment is entered, a reasonable sum as attorneys’ fees and costs. The losing party in such
action shall pay such attorneys’ fees and costs. Lessee shall also indemnify Lessor against and
hold Lessor harmless from all costs, expenses, demands and liability Lessor may incur if Lessor
becomes or is made a party to any claim or action (a) instituted by Lessee against any third party,
or by any third party against Lessee, or by or against any person holding any interest under or
using the Property by license of or agreement with Lessee; (b) for foreclosure of any lien for
labor or material furnished to or for Lessee or such other person; (c) otherwise arising out of or
resulting from any act or transaction of Lessee or such other person; or (d) necessary to protect
Lessor’s interest under this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, or other proceeding under Title 11
of the United States Code, as amended. Lessee shall defend Lessor against any such claim or
action at Lessee’s expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lessor or, at Lessor’s election,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for any legal fees or costs Lessor incurs in any such claim or
action.
Section 12.2 Lessor’s Consent:
Lessee shall pay Lessor’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with Lessee’s request
for Lessor’s consent under Article 9 (Assignment and Subletting), or in connection with any
other act which Lessee proposes to do and which requires Lessor’s consent.
ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 13.1 Non-Discrimination:
Lessee promises, and it is a condition to the continuance of this Lease, that there will be no
discrimination against, or segregation of, any person or group of persons on the basis of race,
color, age, sex, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, religion, creed, national origin or
ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, occupancy, tenure or use of the Property or any
portion thereof, unless exempted by applicable state or federal legislation or judicial or quasi-
judicial decisions.
Section 13.2 Lessor’s Liability; Certain Duties:
(a) As used in this Lease, the term “Lessor” means only the current owner or owners of the fee
title to the Property or Project or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Property or
Project at the time in question. Each Lessor is obligated to perform the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease only during the time such Lessor owns such interest or title. Any Lessor who
transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Lessor
under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of transfer. However, each Lessor shall
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 37 of 121
deliver to its transferee all funds that Lessee previously paid if such funds have not yet been
applied under the terms of this Lease.
(b) Lessee shall give written notice of any failure by Lessor to perform any of its obligations
under this Lease to Lessor and to any ground Lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of
trust encumbering the Property whose name and address have been furnished to Lessee in
writing. Lessor shall not be in default under this Lease unless Lessor (or such ground Lessor,
mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such non-performance within thirty (30) days after receipt
of Lessee’s notice. However, if such non-performance reasonably requires more than thirty (30)
days to cure, Lessor shall not be in default if such cure is commenced within such thirty (30) day
period and thereafter is diligently pursued to completion.
Section 13.3 Severability:
A determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part
thereof is illegal or unenforceable shall not cancel or invalidate the remainder of such provision
of this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 13.4 Interpretation:
The captions of the Articles or Sections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this
Lease and are not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the
context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular. The masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall each include the other. In any
provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Lessee, the term “Lessee” shall include
Lessee’s officers, agents, employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the
Property with Lessee’s expressed or implied permission. In any provision relating to the
conduct, acts or omissions of Lessor, the term “Lessor” shall include Lessor’s officers, agents,
employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the Property with Lessor’s expressed
or implied permission.
Section 13.5 Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Modifications:
This Lease is the only agreement between the parties pertaining to the lease of the Property and
no other agreements are effective. All amendments to this Lease shall be in writing and signed
by all parties. Any other attempted amendment shall be void.

All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to Lessee
shall be delivered to the address specified in Section 1.3. Notices to Lessor shall be delivered to
the address specified in Section 1.2. All notices shall be effective upon delivery. Either party
may change its notice address upon written notice to the other party.
Section 13.7 Waivers:
All waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Lessor’s failure to enforce any
provision of this Lease or its acceptance of rent shall not be a waiver and shall not prevent Lessor
7d. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of
assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 38 of 121
from enforcing that provision or any other provision of this Lease in the future. No statement on
a payment check from Lessee or in a letter accompanying a payment check shall be binding on
Lessor. Lessor may, with or without notice to Lessee, negotiate such check without being bound
to the conditions of such statement.
Section 13.8 No Recordation:
Lessee shall not record this Lease without prior written consent from Lessor. However, either
Lessor or Lessee may require that a “Short Form” memorandum of this Lease executed by both
parties be recorded. The party requiring such recording shall pay all transfer taxes and recording
fees required to accomplish recordation.
Section 13.9 Binding Effect; Choice of Law:
This Lease binds any party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Lessor
or Lessee. However, Lessor shall have no obligation to Lessee’s successor unless the rights or
interest of Lessee’s successor are acquired in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The laws
of the State of Washington shall govern this Lease.
Section 13.10 Entity Authority:
If Lessee is an entity other than an individual or partnership, each person signing this Lease on
behalf of Lessee represents and warrants that he has full authority to do so and that his Lease
binds the entity. Within thirty (30) days after this Lease is signed, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
a certified copy of a resolution of Lessee’s Board of Directors or other governing body
authorizing the execution of this Lease or other evidence of such authority reasonably acceptable
to Lessor. If Lessee is a partnership, each person or entity signing this Lease for Lessee
represents and warrants that he or it is a general partner of the partnership, that he or it has full
authority to sign for the partnership and that this Lease binds the partnership and all general
partners of the partnership. Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor of any general partner’s
withdrawal or addition. Within thirty (30) days after this Lease is signed, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor a copy of Lessee’s recorded statement of partnership or certificate of limited partnership.
Section 13.11 Joint and Several Liability:
All parties signing this Lease as Lessee shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of
Lessee.
Section 13.12 Force Majeure:
If Lessor cannot perform any of its obligations due to events beyond Lessor’s control, the time
provided for performing such obligations shall be extended by a period of time equal to the
duration of such events beyond Lessor’s control. Such events include, but are not limited to, acts
of God, war, civil commotion, labor disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of
labor or material, government regulation or restriction, volcanic eruption, and weather
conditions.

assignment of the Pavilion Building Lease, LAG‐05‐002, to Rain City Page 39 of 121
This Lease may be executed in counterparts and, when all counterpart documents are executed,
the counterparts shall constitute a single binding instrument. Lessor’s delivery of this Lease to
Lessee shall not be deemed to be an offer to lease and shall not be binding upon either party until
executed and delivered by both parties.
Section 13.14 Survival:
All representations and warranties of Lessor and Lessee shall survive the expiration or earl y
termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 14. BROKERS
Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose any obligation on Lessor to pay a commission or
fee to any party. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor that it has not engaged any broker,
finder or other person who would be entitled to any commission or fees for the negotiation,
execution, or delivery of this Lease. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor
against any loss, cost, liability or expense incurred by Lessor as a result of any claim asserted by
any such broker, finder or other person on the basis of any arrangements or agreements made or
alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Lessee. This Article shall not apply to brokers with
whom Lessor has an express written brokerage agreement.

DEPARTMENT
M E M O R A N D U M
DATE:January 11, 2011
TO:Terri Briere, Council President
Members of Renton City Council
VIA:Denis Law, Mayor
FROM:Terry Higashiyama, Community Services Administrator
STAFF CONTACT:Peter Renner, Facilities Director, Ext 6605
SUBJECT:Pavilion Lease Assignment to Rain City Catering
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign a one-year Lease
Assignment with Rain City Catering to operate the Pavilion as an event center while staff
reviews other long range operational opportunities?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Lease Assignment.
Background:
·In July of 2005, the City signed a Lease (LAG-05-002) with the Spirit of
Washington Inc., to operate the Pavilion Building as an event center. The lease
included specific targets for annual event totals, a graduated rent structure, and
a revenue sharing formula.
·Catering was operated from the commercial kitchen at the BNSF Renton Depot,
which was predominantly being used to provide food for the Dinner Train.
·The Dinner Train ceased operating from Renton in the summer of 2007, when
BNSF did not renew the lease of their track to Woodinville with the Sprit of
Washington Inc.
·After a brief and failed attempt to operate the Dinner Train out of Tacoma, the
Spirit of Washington discontinued train operations altogether and laid off the
balance of their staff, with the exception of two event center marketing
personnel.
·These operational changes eliminated the synergies for event center operations
at about the same time that the economy changed. As a result, the operator
failed to make the targeted number of events, the size of the events declined,
and the operator was fell behind the payment schedule.
·In late 2010, one of the Spirit of Washington principals, Eric Temple, met with the
Mayor and City staff and announced his intention to discontinue his operation of
the Spirit of Washington entirely. City staff continues to work with Mr. Temple

to recover as much of the back rents and fees as possible, and to retain those
assets that support ongoing event center operation.
·For some months prior to this announcement, the Spirit of Washington had been
subcontracting the catering portion of the business to Rain City Catering.
Customer satisfaction with this portion of the operation was high.
·Rain City Catering (RCC) is a well-established catering operation, with business
connections with Safeco Field, many professional athlete-related non-profits,
and some high-profile Seattle and Redmond businesses. Their references are
very strong.
·A proposal was put forth to allow RCC to continue operating the Event Center for
a period of time. This proposal has some significant advantages over the
immediate alternatives:
o Avoiding sudden cancellations of annual and pre-booked events, which
would have a defamatory effect on the reputation of the Pavilion. The
event marketers from Spirit of Washington are now working for RCC.
o Continuity of operations allows City staff time to issue a Request for
Proposal for Pavilion Building uses, to evaluate those submissions, to
provide an alternative business plan for City operation of amalgamated
public facilities, and to make recommendations for Council consideration.
o If the decision is made to continue operation of the Pavilion Building as
an event center, this can be accomplished in a timely manner. This is an
important factor because of the lead time necessary to market and book
events.
o Continuous operation of the Event Center will provide revenue to the City
and prevent vandalism.
o We have an opportunity to simplify the terms of the existing Lease and
enhance the City’s use of the space.
·Business terms of the Lease Assignment include:
o Rents at the inception level of the original lease, namely $0.00 for the
first six months, and $1,000.00 per month for the final six months.
o The elimination of the revenue sharing differential between room rental
and food and other catering services. The differential provisions created
confusion for the customers. The percentage will be 15% across the
board.
o Insurance requirement remain the same.
o The Lessee shall continue to perform the simple equipment maintenance
tasks, but the Facilities Division will accept responsibility for more
complex technical tasks, such as boiler and chiller annual preventive
maintenance and continuous boiler and chiller water chemistry
maintenance, and DDC upgrades. We have also assumed payment of the
electrical utility for the Pavilion to insure stability.
·It should also be noted that the representative from the BNSF’s contracted real
estate manager has provided assurances for continuity of use of the commercial
kitchen at the Depot for Rain City Catering.

Conclusion:
Approving this Lease Assignment creates good will with clients that previously booked
events for 2011 with the Spirit of Washington, allows for productive use of this
significant City asset, provides cash flow for the operation of the City’s Leased Properties

Building.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Renton contracts with Cayce & Grove, LLC for public defense services for those indigent defendants
charged in Renton Municipal Court and the firm has recently completed a three-year contract which
expired in December, 2010. The City recently adopted public defense standards for the delivery of
public defense services, standards which will improve the provision of adequate representation of
defendants, and may allow Renton to qualify for application for grants for these services. The
implementation of standards necessitated a revision of the agreement to align the sections about
coverage of cases by attorneys, number of cases per attorney, structure of compensation, and
withdrawal section with the newly-adopted standards. A renewal of this agreement is proposed through
the year 2012 and an RFP process will be conducted that year for competitive bid of these services.
There are some public defense recoupments (totalling approximately $110,000 annually) that are
imposed at sentencing which partially offset the general fund costs of these services. The 2011 budget
envisioned the implementation of financial screening for defendants prior to public defense
appointment in an effort to control costs, which will require a small contract with an individual who can
determine whether a defendant can contribute financially to the costs of defense, and will require the
cooperation of the municipal court judge and court.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the contract with Cayce & Grove, LLC for public defense services and authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to sign the agreement.

appointed to Cayce & Grove on the charge that requires the defendant’s appearance.

made by City for normal out-of-pocket expenditures when made as part of the Public
Defender’s function to consist primarily of costs of service, long distance telephone calls,
collect calls, facsimile transmissions, and travel outside the city of Renton. City shall
provide Cayce & Grove a current city code and amendments to be returned upon
termination of this contract. City shall provide discoverable material at no cost to Cayce
& Grove, including abstract of driving record. Expert witnesses will be paid by City

must notify the court and request withdrawal from the assignment.

ORDINANCE NO.
11. "Warning of Violation", is an oral or written warning that provides
notice to a Violator that the CCI has found, seen or discovered a RMC civil code
violation that a Violator has created, permitted to exist, maintained or failed to
eliminate. An oral Warning of Violation should be promptly memorialized.
C Authority and Voluntary Compliance:
L When a CCI learns of, sees, or finds a RMC civil code violation, if
appropriate in their judgment and experience, the CCI may:
a. Issue a Warning of Violation and ask for immediate voluntary
compliance, or
b. Agree to a schedule for compliance that is no longer than
seven (7) days from the issuance of the Warning of Violation; and
If such compliance cannot reasonably be completed within seven (7)
days, then it must be initiated within seven (7) days and completed, within a
reasonable period of time as determined by the CCI.
Z The Administrator or the CCI has the authority to modify, or rescind
the Warning of Violation, based on good cause, such as the elimination of the
violation or the finding that another person or people were the Violator.
3. The City may move forward against more than one Violator.
4, If a Violator fails or is unable to eliminate the violation within that
period of time, and if the violation is deemed by the CCI to warrant further
enforcement, the CCI may issue as many Findings of Violations as there are
violations. Each day that a violation exists shall constitute a separate and
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 102 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
actionable violation, though each violation should be heard jointly for
administrative and fiscal economy.
D. Voluntary Correction Agreement:
1. When the City determines that a violation has occurred, the City may
enter into a voluntary correction agreement with any Violator.
2. The Administrator will be responsible for maintaining a procedure to
manage an expedited voluntary compliance process, and for creating a voluntary
correction agreement form or document that must contain, at a minimum:
a. All of the relevant information identifying the Violator(s);
b. The violation location(s);
c Details about the violation(s);
d. What must be done to eliminate the violation(s);
e. How long the Violator(s) has to eliminate the violation(s);
t Whether there have been any prior violations involving the
Violator(s) in the City in the last ten (10) years;
g. A signed right of entry to inspect until the violation has been
eliminated, and/or correct or abate the property if the voluntary correction
agreement is not satisfied; and
h. The minimum amount of civil penalties owned at the point the
agreement is entered.
i. In bold print, that if the voluntary correction agreement is not
satisfied, the City may, without any additional notice or hearing, impose any
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 103 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
remedy authorized by this Chapter: order the abatement of the violation by the
Violator(s). or the City's employees or agents: assess any abatement,
investigation, enforcement costs to the Violator(s) and against the property.
j. The Violator(s) may request a hearing to challenge the
computation of the costs and/or penalties, and/or the Violator(s) may ask for a
hearing to ask for mitigation of the costs and/or penalties.
k. If there are multiple requests for a hearing, those hearings
may be consolidated if the Administrator finds it reasonable to do so.
L The Administrator shall have the same authority as is noted in
Subsection L Scope of Authority, and the hearing shall be governed by the
provisions of Subsection G, Opportunity for a Hearing.
3. As a condition to entering into a voluntary correction agreement, a
Violator expressly waives the right to a hearing, or any other review to challenge
the Finding of Violation, except as noted in RMC 1-3-2D.2.J. as the Violator
concedes that any violation is a civil code violation under the Renton Municipal
Code, and that the City has the right to use any lawful means provided by this
Code or applicable state or municipal law to investigate, enforce and eliminate
the violation.
4. The voluntary correction agreement acts as a stay of the accrual of
costs and/or penalties, but they will accrue, backdated to the date of the
voluntary correction agreement, if a Violator fails to eliminate the violation in
accordance with the voluntary correction agreement.
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 104 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
5. The voluntary correction agreement must be in writing and signed by
at least one Violator and any disagreement between Violators shall be addressed
between the Violators, and if necessary, in judicial hearings without requiring the
participation or presence of the City of Renton.
6. If a Violator is unable or unwilling to eliminate the violation
immediately, then a voluntary correction agreement is not appropriate.
~L A voluntary correction agreement is not a settlement agreement.
8. The Administrator may grant an extension to a Violator, only if the
Violator has taken prompt and substantial steps to eliminate the violation.
9. The Administrator may use whatever type of voluntary correction
agreement form as is appropriate in his or her judgment to mitigate and
ultimately eliminate the violation. The Administrator or designee may modify
the voluntary correction agreement form on an individual case basis as needed
to best respond to the facts, circumstances and conditions of a violation.
E. Finding of Violation: When a CCI finds a RMC civil code violation, the CCI
shall provide the Violator(s) with a Finding of Violation.
1. When a CCI finds a RMC civil code violation, the CCI shall provide the
Violator(s) with a Warning of Violation.
2. If that Warning of Violation does not result in a correction of a
violation by immediate voluntary compliance, or compliance pursuant to a
Voluntary Correction Agreement, the CCI shall provide the Violator(s) with a
Finding of Violation.
10
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 105 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
The Finding of Violation is deemed final unless the Violator requests a
hearing before the Administrator under the process detailed in Subsection G,
Opportunity for Hearing.
3. It shall be the responsibility of the Violator(s) found responsible for a
violation to completely eliminate the violation and to achieve complete civil code
compliance. Payment of civil penalties, applications for permits,
acknowledgement of stop work orders, and compliance with other remedies do
not substitute for performing the corrective work required and bringing the
property into compliance to the extent reasonably possible under the
circumstances.
The payment of any cost and/or penalty shall be made to the City of
Renton Department of Finance and Information Technology. It is the
responsibility of the Violator(s) to provide the Administrator or CCI with proof
the payment of any costs and/or penalties, as is appropriate.
4. The Violator(s) found to be responsible for a RMC civil code violation
pursuant to a Finding of Violation shall be liable for the payment of any costs
and/or penalties. Payment is due within thirty (30) days of the date on the
Finding of Violation, or within fifteen (15) days after a hearing confirming the
Finding of Violation.
5. If the Violator fails to satisfy one (1) or more term(s) of the voluntary
correction agreement, after a Finding of Violation, the City may, without notice
or further hearings, order the abatement of the violation by the Violator(s), or by
11
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 106 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
City employees or agents and assess any other costs related to the investigation,
enforcement and resolution of this process to the Violator(s) and/or against the
property.
a. The City, without a hearing, may suspend, revoke or modify
any valid permit or license issued by the City if or when it reasonably believes:
L That a Violator knows, or reasonably should know, of a
violation, but the Violator continues to violate the permit or license or
exacerbate a violation, and the CCI makes a finding of an imminent threat or
substantial threat to safety, health, or welfare of others, property of others or
City property including, but not limited to, utilities such as water and sewage.
H. That a Violator misrepresented any material or significant
fact in applying for a permit or license.
b. The City, without a hearing, may deny a request for a permit
or license or to renew a permit or license when it reasonably believes that
without a valid permit or license a Violator knows or knew of, or reasonably
should know or should have known, of a violation, but continues to work,
operate, or exacerbate a violation without a valid permit or license.
c Any revocation, suspension, modification or denial of a permit
or license under this Section shall allow the person who possessed or sought the
relevant permit or license and had the permit or license revoked, suspended,
modified or denied an opportunity for a hearing in a manner detailed in
Subsections G and H below.

ORDINANCE NO.
F. Service: Service of the Warning and/or the Finding of Violation is proper
bv any means noted in Subsection 1-3-2B.8. The City may serve each Violator
and/or persons having any claim against the title or contractual interest in the
violation property.
G. Opportunity for a Hearing: To further the purpose noted above, while
providing due process, and unless RMC 1-3-2D.3 applies, a Violator may request
a hearing before the Administrator to raise any challenge to the Finding of
Violation, the application of the code and/or to challenge or mitigate the costs
and/or penalties.
L The opportunity for a hearing is available for each violation and
penalty imposed for multiple violations at one (1) site or at multiple sites by one
(1) or more Violators. The scope of hearing is limited to the conditions of the
property at the time the violation was found. Relitigation of previously imposed
costs and/or penalties is prohibited.
2. The Administrator shall decide whether that opportunity to be heard
will be only in writing or in person, or both. The City is not required to call
witnesses to testify at the hearing.
3. The Finding of Violation, if signed and dated by the CCI shall be
deemed admissible evidence to prove the violation. If the Administrator finds a
violation after reviewing the Finding of Violation, then the burden of persuasion
shall shift to the Violator(s) to show bv a preponderance of the evidence that a
violation has not occurred.
13
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 108 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
4. Any person having violated a voluntary correction agreement under
RMC 1-3-2D shall be deemed to have admitted the violation covered by the
agreement.
5. If the owner and the possessor of the property are not the same, and
if the owner fails to respond in writing or fails to appear at an oral hearing after
service of the Finding of Violation, there is a presumption that the owner has
given the Violator(s) the authority to act as his/her agent for purposes of the
hearing or that the owner has chosen not to participate.
H. Timing of a Hearing: If a Violator and/or persons having any claim against
the title or contractual interest in the property where the violation exists wishes
to challenge a Finding of Violation, or to challenge or mitigate the costs and/or
penalties, that Violator and/or persons having any claim against the title or
contractual interest in the property where the violation exists shall submit a
written request for a hearing within ten (10) business days of the date of the
Finding of Violation. The Administrator shall set the date of the hearing within
ten (10) business days of the received request for a hearing. The decision shall
be entered and mailed or posted no later than fourteen (14) days after the City
received the written request for a hearing.
I. Preponderance of Evidence Standard: The Administrator shall determine
bv a preponderance of the evidence whether there is a violation of this Code, if
the costs and/or penalties should be mitigated, or that a violation exists that
must be corrected after considering a Violator's oral and/or written argument(s).
14
9a. ‐ Revised Civil Enforcement of Code regulations (Approved via
8/9/2010 Planning & Development Committee Report)Page 109 of 121
ORDINANCE NO.
The penalties shall be considered based on the nature of the offense, the impact
on the neighbors, neighborhood, or community and the need to discourage such
conduct, inactivity or neglect.
J. Hearing Procedure: The Administrator may choose to hear the matter
orally or based solely on the parties' written submissions. The Finding of
Violation may satisfy the City's burden of production, but the City may submit
additional written testimony. If the Administrator determines that the matter
requires an in-person hearing, such a hearing may be scheduled, and appropriate
and reasonable notice shall be provided to the CCI and Violator(s).
K. Failure to Request, Submit or Appear at a Hearing: The failure to request,
submit a written argument and/or appear at a hearing makes the Finding of
Violation final. The Violator must pay any costs and/or penalties and eliminate
the violation(s) within ten (10) days.
A Violator or multiple Violators may withdraw their request for a hearing
only if each Violator agrees, and only if it is withdrawn within five (5) days of
making the request. Thev will not be charged the costs of the hearing if the
request to withdraw their request is timely.
An actual hearing or an untimely request to withdraw a request for a hearing
mav result in the costs for a hearing if the Administrator deems it appropriate
and can particularize or itemize or place value to the efforts of the CCI and/or
Administrator.

the Finding of Violation, after the aforementioned hearing, or after the Violator's

violation or modifies the Finding of Violation, the Administrator may:

condition must be abated. The Administrator may order the property abated by
persons working under the City's authority with costs assessed to the Violator(s).
h When appropriate, enter into and/or approve a voluntary
correction agreement. It is presumed to be inappropriate for a Violator to be
able to enter into a second voluntary correction agreement if that Violator has
already failed to comply with a voluntary correction agreement for the same
violation.
o Stay the accrual of costs and/or penalties, only upon an actual
showing a Violator, acting in good faith, is unable to bring the condition into

including such salvage value relating thereto plus the amount of any outstanding
penalties.

written explanation whvthe costs and/or penalties are unreasonable and should
