The purpose of these proposed changes to the existing HRAP policies is to: l clearly define eligibility for mobile homes and to focus the expenditure of program resources on mobile homes that have been built in the last 35 years and are certified to meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards. l allow households that were denied for the program, to reapply if their family size or income changes within the year and it now makes them eligible for the program. The change will allow the program to serve these households if there is a health or safety concern that requires immediate attention. The Human Services Advisory Committee has reviewed and approved these changes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve that effective 1/1/12 only manufactured homes (mobile homes) built in the US after 6-15-76 will be eligible for services, and if a household is deemed ineligible for services, and if that household’s income or family size changes during the year, that they can re-apply for the program due to the extenuating circumstances. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 3 of 61 H:\Human Services/HRAP.docx COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:November 3, 2011 TO:Terri Briere, Council President Members of Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Terry Higashiyama, Community Services Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Karen Bergsvik, Human Services Manager, Ext. 6652 SUBJECT:Housing Repair Assistance Program ISSUE: Should the Housing Repair Assistance Program (HRAP) change its policies so that: ·Only manufactured homes (mobile homes) built in the United States after 6-15-76 will be eligible for services. ·If a household is deemed ineligible for services, and if that household’s income or family size changes during the year, they can re-apply for the program due to the extenuating circumstances. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the changes in the HRAP policies. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Housing Repair Assistance Program provides and promotes the repair and maintenance of housing for individuals and families of extremely low/very low/low income living within the Renton city limits. The income limits are attached. The program objectives are: ·Provide minor housing repair services to homeowners with very low/low/moderate incomes; ·Maintain the ability of clients to remain in their own homes and be independent; ·Encourage the participation of service providers, the business community, and the residents of the City of Renton in supporting housing maintenance and repair assistance to the local community; ·Focus housing repair services on maintaining the safety and health of the occupants and preserving the dwelling; and ·Reflect the most current demographics of the City of Renton in the program’s client base. HRAP began in 1978. The program served 305 households and performed 1219 minor home repairs in 2010. There are six mobile home parks in the City of Renton. The majority of HRAP’s new imobile 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 4 of 61 Terri Briere, Council President Members of Renton City Council Page 2 of 3 November 3, 2011 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Council\11 issue papers\HRAP.docx home clients live in Vantage Glen and Leisure Estates. ·Vantage Glenn has 164 mobile homes and will not be affected by the proposed change. The units are not mobile homes but modular homes with permanent installation on a foundation. ·Leisure Estates – there are 250 units of which approximately 25 receive services, and four are older than 1976. ·Sunnydale – there are 188 units, of which 20 to 30 receive services. No units are older than 1976. ·Wonderland Estates – there are 123 units. Of those, five units were built in 1976 and 26 units were built after 1976. We estimate that we serve 15 households at this location. King County Housing Authority, owner of the property, has agreed to allow only mobile homes built after 1976 to move onto the vacant spaces. ·Valley View has 46 pads. Of these, 20 are older than 1976 and four were built in 1976. One homeowner is a client. ·Hilands Mobile Home Manor has 49 pads of which 39 are older than 1976 and one was built in 1976. HRAP currently has no clients at this location. The purpose of these proposed changes to the existing HRAP policy is to clearly define eligibility for mobile homes and to focus the expenditure of program resources on mobile homes that have been built in the last 35 years and are certified to meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards. HUD standards include but are not limited to: body and frame requirements, thermal protection, plumbing, electrical and fire safety. These certified homes are built safer, to unified standards, have a longer life cycle potential and the structural integrity to be moved if desired. Mobile homes built prior to 1976 are aging and some are in serious disrepair and need major maintenance and repair services. The cost of the repairs may exceed the value of the mobile home, which is not a good use of funds. Some of these mobile homes are unsafe and/or unhealthy for City staff to enter because of their condition. Additionally, repairs in older mobile homes require more time to execute than similar repairs in newer mobile homes built to HUD standards. The lack of consistency and uniformity in non-certified pre 1976 construction methods and materials make every repair a custom job requiring more staff time. In February of 2007, the City of Kent Housing Repair Program stopped serving all mobile homes except for emergency services to seniors or disabled occupants in mobile homes built after 1976. The King County Housing Repair Program serves low to moderate income residents of King County. It has an emergency grant program for mobile homes on rented land and a deferred home loan program for mobile homes on occupant owners land. Information about these programs will be distributed at the mobile home parks, posted on the City’s website, and given to mobile home tenants that call. Currently all new applicants to the program receive this information with their application packet. Currently residents can apply to HRAP once per year, and the income verification is the previous 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 5 of 61 Terri Briere, Council President Members of Renton City Council Page 3 of 3 November 3, 2011 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Council\11 issue papers\HRAP.docx year’s income tax statement. This process does not allow for extenuating circumstances when there is a change in family income or family size during the year, which may make a previously ineligible applicant eligible. The proposed change in policy gives the program the flexibility to serve these families if there is a health or safety need that requires immediate attention. The Human Services Advisory Committee approved the mobile home policy change on 2/17/09 and the extenuating circumstance policy was approved 6/21/11. The minutes are attached. CONCLUSION Approve the change in policies effective 1/1/12, so that: ·Only manufactured homes (mobile homes) built in the US after 6-15-76 will be eligible for services. ·If a household is deemed ineligible for services, and if that household’s income or family size changes during the year, they can re-apply for the program due to the extenuating circumstances. cc:Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer Larry Warren, City Attorney Garmon Newson, Assistant City Attorney Iwen Wang, Administrator Finance/IS i 53 Assessments were done from January 2010 to September 2010 for new clients in mobile homes.

HRAP is partially funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) and must conform to CDBG regulations. These regulations provide overall guidelines that must be followed but are designed to allow agencies greater flexibility in program implementation. Due to increased demand and limited resources of the Housing Repair Assistance Program, the following policies have been adopted to assist staff in implementing this program. Meeting the eligibility requirements listed below does not guarantee services will be provided. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the limited resources available, staff will be responsible for interpreting and applying the policies set forth below and will make the final determination on the provision of services. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES *Provide minor housing repair services to homeowners with incomes meeting HUD guidelines. *Maintain the ability of clients to remain in their own homes and to be independent. *Encourage the participation of service providers, the business community, and the residents of the City of Renton to support housing maintenance and repair assistance to the local community. *Housing repair services will focus on maintaining the safety and health of the occupants and preserving the dwelling. *The program will strive to have 80% or less of area median income Renton homeowners as clients that reflect the most current demographics of the City of Renton. 1. Eligibility Requirements In order to be considered for services in this program, the applicant must: *Reside within the Renton city limits. *Own and reside in the dwelling requiring services for at least 12 months prior to requesting service.

The Housing Repair Assistance Program may help a homeowner comply with the code(s), if the services required are within the scope of the program. *Financial assistance will not be given to City of Renton residents of mobile home parks to relocate to other mobile home parks, nor will they be eligible for any service once a mobile home park has received written notice of an impending sale. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 8 of 61 Page 3 of 5 H:\Human Services\- New structure\- HRAP\- HRAP 2nd tier\Policies\Change Development\2011\HRAP policy change update for AB 10-25-11.doc 3.

Contractors will be required to provide proof of liability insurance and a business license. 7. Service Priority Priority for services will be determined by the seriousness of the repair relative to other pending service requests, the hardship to the client if the repair is not completed in a timely manner, the scope of work, date of request, and the income of the household. Those households with the lowest incomes will be considered a higher priority than those with greater incomes. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 10 of 61 Page 5 of 5 H:\Human Services\- New structure\- HRAP\- HRAP 2nd tier\Policies\Change Development\2011\HRAP policy change update for AB 10-25-11.doc 8.

Grievance Policy If the applicant believes program eligibility requirements have been met and services have been unfairly denied, applicant must submit a written request for review within 30 days of being notified of the denial. This letter, containing the reasons applicant feels the decision to be in error, shall be addressed by the Human Services Manager who will review the matter and respond with a decision within 10 working days of receipt of applicant's letter. If services are still denied, the applicant may then request a review by the Human Services Advisory Committee. This request must also be in writing and received within 20 working days from the date the review decision was mailed. The Committee will review the issue and make a determination at their next monthly meeting. If the applicant still disagrees with the determination the Community Services Administrator will review it. The written request for review must be received within 20 working days from the date the Committee's decision was mailed. The decision of the Community Services Administrator will be final. If a client feels that work was not done satisfactorily, the Housing Repair Coordinator will assess the work. If a mutually agreed upon solution costs less than the maximum yearly expenditure per client the repair will be done. If it costs more, the client will be given information as how to file a claim with the City of Renton. 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 11 of 61 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Advisory Committee\Agenda-Handouts-Minutes\Minutes\prior years minutes\2009 minutes\February Minutes\FebruaryMinutes.doc p. 1 of 3 version 10/29/2011 MINUTES City of Renton Human Services Advisory Committee Tuesday, February 17, 2009 City Hall, 7th Floor 3:00 p.m. Council Conference Room Committee members present: Margie Albritton Rolf Dragseth Charlie Gray Alicia Glenwell Robin Jones Rob Spier Elizabeth Stevens Samantha Williams Absent: Anthony Costanti Adria Krail Staff Contacts: Karen Bergsvik 425-430-6652 kbergsvik@rentonwa.gov Dianne Utecht 425-430-6655 dutecht@rentonwa.gov Katie McClincy 425-430-7555 kmcclincy@rentonwa.gov Carol Allread 425-430-6650 callread@rentonwa.gov For your calendars: The date of the next regular meeting is Tuesday, March 17, at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Conference Room, 7th Floor, Renton City Hall.

The Committee had asked staff to look into Housing Quality Standards and report back to them. It was determined that implementing the standards may be costly due to additional inspection requirements and it also may eliminate those in need, as potential clients may have to make repairs to their home prior to qualifying for the program. Tim stated that if the proposed policy is implemented, current clients who own manufactured homes built prior to June 15, 1976, can be grandfathered in. The members voted six in favor, one against, that the HRAP policies be changed so that only manufactured homes built in the U.S. after June 15, 1976, will be eligible for services. Tim will continue to explore the idea of having minimum standards that every house, regardless of type, will need to meet to receive services. 3.One Night Count and South King County Response to Homelessness: Jason Johnson, of the City of Kent Division of Housing and Human Services, provided an overview of the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness in King County. The plan was written approximately four years ago with the City of Renton endorsing the plan two years ago. Jason said that the main goal of the plan is to provide permanent housing for all homeless people. He referenced the Call for Action Brochure, which outlines the eight strategies for ending homelessness in South King County. It provides real data on homelessness in South King County. An insert specific to Renton is being developed, and will include how many students in schools are homeless, how many shelter beds are being filled and how many individuals are turned away from shelters each night. Tim briefed the Committee on the One Night Count of the unsheltered homeless. He was the co-leader for the One Night Count in Renton, with Nancy Piombo, of Communities in Schools of Renton. It was noted that the count more than doubled this year, increasing to 90 homeless counted, up from 44 last year. This can be attributed to the fact that more families are car camping. Two of the count areas were also divided into two teams each, and this may have increased the accuracy of the count this year. 4.Absences: The bylaws of HSAC in Article 2, Section 5, were modified in December, 2007, to state that three absences in one year shall be cause for dismissal, and removed the possibility of a quorum to excuse an absence. As member Cheryl Haskins had three absences in 2008, she was asked to resign, creating a vacancy on the Committee. Alicia and Margie volunteered to form a sub-committee to interview prospective new members for the Human Services Advisory Committee. To date there are six applicants that have applied in the past 12 months. There was a discussion about recruitment and several ideas were presented. They include: the opening be announced at the City Council meeting, and for current members to consider individuals from their own professional affiliations. Past members can apply to be on the Committee again. 5.Committee Protocols: Robin emphasized ground rules for the meetings. Members should come prepared to the meeting, listen while someone else is speaking, and use the parking lot if the discussion gets off topic. These courtesies will help to maximize the limited amount of time the Committee has to meet each month. Additionally, he asked that more involved issues be brought to his attention or that of Karen or Elizabeth (the Vice-Chair). Robin expressed appreciation for the positive interaction between members at the retreat in January. 6.City of Renton Business Plan: An invitation has been extended to the Mayor and/or Jay Covington to come to the March meeting to answer specific questions about the Plan. Karen reviewed the four bullets on the back side of the Plan that the Human Services Division will be working on. 7.2008 Year End Agency Performance: Katherine’s House and Way Back Inn were the two agencies that did not meet their 2008 performance goals. Katherine’s House has only served one Renton resident in the past year; she is excelling in the program and achieving her goals. Dianne indicated that due to limited bed space, we do not ask that they keep a bed open in case a Renton resident qualifies for the program. Way Back Inn did not serve the number of individuals stated in their performance 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 13 of 61 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Advisory Committee\Agenda-Handouts-Minutes\Minutes\prior years minutes\2009 minutes\February Minutes\FebruaryMinutes.doc p. 3 of 3 version 10/29/2011 goals. They are seeing a trend in smaller families and staff decided that it would be unfair to penalize them for not serving the number of projected individuals due to the size of their families. They were fully funded in 2008, and in 2009 they will track the number of families (not individuals) being served. 8.2008 Performance Narratives: A sample of the narratives that agencies submit with their quarterly reports was included in the packet.

The four primary service areas are heating system repairs, plumbing system repairs, electrical system repairs, and disability aids. Tim provided an overview of two of the three proposed policy changes: 1) The value for the applicant’s dwelling as reported by the King County Department of Assessments must not exceed 80% of the most current data from the previous year’s King County home median resale value. 2) Current year extenuating circumstances resulting from a change in a family’s income or family size during the year, which may make a previously ineligible applicant eligible, will be considered upon request and submission of a new application. 3) This change has already been agreed upon by the Committee. It has not yet been approved by the City Council: The program will not serve manufactured homes made prior to 1976. A manufactured home is a home built in the U.S. after June 15, 1976, that is labeled and certified by the manufacturer to be built in accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Construction and Safety Standards in effect on the date the home was manufactured. There was a discussion about proposed change number one. Members asked what the need is for it if 1) it would have only affected two homes in 2010, 2) if the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) does not require it why would we, thus making restrictions tighter, and 3) is there a better measurement than the King County Department of Assessments? It was decided that staff would bring back a better measurement at the next meeting. Charlie motioned to approve the rest of the proposed changes and Alicia seconded the motion. Motion carried. 3.Human Services cuts at federal and state level: Karen will get Renton and King County specific data to see what these cuts mean for the community. She will share that information with the Committee when it is available. In the short term, we should expect to see more support needed for the homeless. Conversations will be held at the sub-regional level to explore things that can be done to increase efficiencies, allow communities to do more with less, and avoid duplication of efforts. 4.Funding Process - Update: Terry Higashiyama, Community Services Administrator, and Karen met with Terri Briere, Council President, to discuss the funding process that the Committee is using and seek her feedback. The good things that Human Services staff were doing was discussed (Meet and Greet with agencies, capacity building, technical assistance) and it was decided to share this with Council in the fall. 5.Veterans and Human Services Levy: This levy, which is on the August 16, 2011, ballot, is critical to Renton residents. It funds the Veterans Center at WorkSource Renton, providing services locally and preventing veterans from having to go downtown for assistance. It also supports the Mobile Medical Van for the homeless, and many recipients of that care are veterans. Loran Lichty and Anna Markee will present information to the Community Services Committee about the Veterans and Human Services Levy on Monday, June 27, at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Conference room. Committee members expressed an interest in getting additional information so they can advocate for this levy in the community. Karen will email them when she has the information. 6.Updates: 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 16 of 61 Human Services Advisory Committee Minutes June 21, 2011 Page 3 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Advisory Committee\Agenda-Handouts-Minutes\Minutes\2011 Minutes\Jan-Jun 2011\June\June 21 minutes.doc a) Summer Lunch Program: The partnership between City of Renton Staff, Renton School District, and community partners is off to a great start this year. Dianne reported that we have 14 sites, which is a record. Craft projects will be offered this year at Heritage Park on specific dates. b) Capacity Building: Nathan Phillips, capacity building consultant, surveyed the agencies to determine areas of need. We received 18 survey responses. He made a recommendation for training topics based on the results of the survey. Adria, Linda, and Dianne presented the recommendations to the Committee to get their input on the topics. After discussion, the Committee decided on Grantwriting, The Basics of a Fundraising Plan, and Building an Organizational Dashboard: Using Benchmarks and Outcomes to Measure Agency Performance. Robin made a motion to offer these three trainings, and Adria seconded the motion. Motion carried. Dianne mentioned that a fourth training is an option, and it was agreed that surveying the agencies after the initial trainings would help determine the need for a fourth. c) Resource Fair: King County Housing Authority, Seattle Housing Authority, and Renton Housing Authority plan to do a Resource Fair at the Pavilion. They would like the city to be a co-sponsor. The goal will be to offer services and information to help 6b. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of Housing  Repair Assistance Program Policy changes regarding eligibility Page 17 of 61 Human Services Advisory Committee Minutes June 21, 2011 Page 4 H:\Human Services\- New structure\Advisory Committee\Agenda-Handouts-Minutes\Minutes\2011 Minutes\Jan-Jun 2011\June\June 21 minutes.doc families become self sufficient.

Adria still wants to hold her Resource Fair in November to ensure that families get help for the holidays. 7.South King Council of Human Services Annual Luncheon: The South King Council of Human Services annual luncheon will be held on Tuesday, June 28, at Emerald Downs. The topic of discussion is “South King County-Where Do We Go from Here?” and will feature keynote speaker Norman Rice, Seattle Foundation President & CEO. 8.Agency Visit Schedule: The July meeting will be held in Kent and the Committee will visit two newly funded agencies: Dynamic Family Services, and Pediatric Interim Care Center. 9.Adjournment: Alicia motioned to adjourn the meeting.

The original Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center (IPAC) Agreement between the City and Renton School District was authorized in 2003, and renewed in 2007. This new agreement is essentially an extension, and would be in effect for three years, through 2014. Changes in the new agreement include: 1. Change the calendar dates from January 1 to December 31, to September 1 to August 31 (Section IX). 2. Change the Staff Contact from Jerry Rerecich to Kris Stimpson (Section XVI). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize signing of the agreement between the Renton School District and the City of Renton regarding use of the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center. 6c. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a  contract with Renton School District #403 regarding shared use of Page 20 of 61 Agreement between the City of Renton and the Renton School District Page 1 of 5 AGREEMENT BETWEEN RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT #403 And CITY OF RENTON This Agreement, made and entered into this ___ day of ____, 20___, by and between the City of Renton, a non charter code city under RCW 35A, a municipal corporation, hereinafter called the “City” and the Renton School District #403, State of Washington, hereinafter called “District.” WITNESSETH WHEREAS, the City has established by ordinance the Community Services Department to be responsible for carrying out the purpose of community recreation by offering and supporting cultural arts programs, public assemblies and special events conducted at various venues; and WHEREAS, the governing bodies of the City and the District are mutually interested in the development of these programs; and WHEREAS, the City and the District are authorized to enter into agreements with each other, and to do any and all things necessary or convenient to aid and cooperate in the cultivation of good citizenship by providing for adequate programs of community recreation; and WHEREAS, the District owns and operates the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center within the City of Renton which could be used for programs of community recreation when not otherwise required for educational purposes or related reasons; and WHEREAS, in the interest of providing the best public services with the least possible expenditure of public funds, cooperative use of such facilities is desirable; and WHEREAS, the intent of the City’s comprehensive plan and Arts & Culture Master Plan includes use of public community resources and a joint use concept can provide for the better utilization by both parties; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the following covenants and promises, the City and the District do now agree to cooperate with each other in carrying out the above purposes, and to that end agree as follows: I.Scope of Permission 6c. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a  contract with Renton School District #403 regarding shared use of Page 21 of 61 Agreement between the City of Renton and the Renton School District Page 2 of 5 The District shall grant the City permission to use of its Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center free of charge, whenever deemed practicable by the District, for the City to conduct cultural arts programs, public assemblies, and special events. The District shall give scheduled City activities first priority over other public or private agencies scheduling activities which do not directly involve or benefit students and parents of the District. Examples of events sponsored by the City that may request use of the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center include, but are not limited to, concerts by the Renton City Band, Renton FilmFrenzy, Seattle International Film Festival – Renton, dance recitals, guest speakers, public forums, or other cultural arts performances. II.City’s Duty to Control and Supervise The City shall be completely responsible for the control and supervision of scheduled activities using the District’s facilities and shall protect against personal injury or property damage. III.District’s Duties The District agrees to provide normal amenities such as heat, electricity and custodial care during the period of use. The City will reimburse the District for the costs of additional custodial, security, or maintenance services necessarily resulting from the use. These costs may include one lighting technician, one sound technician, one on stage deck hand, one house manager, and any overtime custodial charges. If the event requires staffing beyond this, the District will provide the City with a labor quote, based on the least expensive qualified options possible. IV.City to Provide Equipment The City agrees to provide the necessary equipment to engage in scheduled City activities within the District’s facilities. V.Consideration The City of Renton having previously provided financial support for the construction, renovation, or remodeling of the IKEA Performing Arts Center at Renton High School, has provided valuable consideration for the right to use the IKEA Performing Arts Center, when it is available. Additionally, both Renton and the District receive the valuable benefit of being able to showcase the City and the facility to Renton and the surrounding communities. VI.Reimbursement for Damages The City agrees to reimburse the District for damages to District facilities resulting from the use of the facilities by program participants. The District reserves the right to terminate the future use of the facility for a particular activity in the event damage related 6c. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a  contract with Renton School District #403 regarding shared use of Page 22 of 61 Agreement between the City of Renton and the Renton School District Page 3 of 5 to that particular activity cannot be prevented. VII.Inappropriate Conduct on District Property is Prohibited Renton agrees to abide by the District’s current Rules and Regulations concerning the use of property, facilities and/or grounds, including, but not limited to, the prohibitions on smoking. VIII.Scheduling and Coordination It is hereby agreed that a twelve-month schedule of dates for the use of the District’s facilities be established in advance by the City and the District to avoid conflict between District and City use. If there is a scheduling conflict District events and programs and programs directly involving or benefiting District students and parents and a limited number of community uses that have a history of facility use shall have first priority; City programs shall have second priority; and any other events by other groups or agencies shall have third priority. City requests shall specify times, dates, and approximate durations, in a manner that will make it possible for the District to schedule school uses or groups or agencies that have third priority. The twelve-month schedule shall be forwarded to the District on or before June 1 of each year so that the District may establish a schedule for the next school year by July 15. Failure of the City to include a use or event on the twelve-month schedule shall not preclude additional requests after July 15. City requests shall specify times and dates in a manner that will make it possible for the District to schedule groups or agencies that have third priority. IX.Schedule and Coordination Limitations For purposes of keeping the space open to community rentals and school district usage, there will be a limit of twelve (12) city events in the facilities from September 1 through August 31 each year. The City will assign one person to coordinate scheduling these twelve events with the District manager. X.Notice Guidelines All events, activities, and/or programs must be submitted (in writing) in a timely fashion to the District’s designated representative; however, both parties recognize that these uses and requirements may not be completely predictable. In the event of an emergency or important public event requiring use of a facility, the City may cancel or postpone the use of the facility without cost or penalty, provided that as much advance notice as is practicable is given to the District. XI.Termination of this Agreement It is further understood and agreed that either party to this Agreement may at any time terminate this Agreement upon giving to the other party ninety (90) days written notice of its intention to terminate same, provided, however, that in the event a City program is 6c. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a  contract with Renton School District #403 regarding shared use of Page 23 of 61 Agreement between the City of Renton and the Renton School District Page 4 of 5 in progress at the time, or scheduled within the 90 days, and the City receives written notice of the District’s intent to terminate, termination of the Agreement shall not be effective until after the program is completed notwithstanding the fact that said completion date may be more than 90 days subsequent to the District’s notice of termination. In order for a program to be in progress as that term is used in this Section, an application for use of the school facility must have been approved by the District. XII.Indemnity by the City It is agreed that in consideration for the City’s use of any District facility and/or property, the City will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Renton School District, its elected and appointed officials, its employees and agents from any and all liabilities for claims, suits or demands, including fraudulent and groundless claims, suits or demands for personal injuries, including death, or for property damage or loss resulting from any City use of District facilities and/or property.

XIV.Term of the Agreement The term of this Agreement shall be for three (3) years and subsequently may be renewed, after review by and approval of both parties, for such additional terms as the parties may agree. XV.Dispute Resolution In the event of any dispute over the interpretation or effect of this Agreement, the designated representatives of the parties shall meet, at the request of either, in an effort to resolve the dispute. If any dispute still remains, then the matter shall be referred to the City of Renton Chief Administrative Officer or his/her designee, and to the Superintendent of the Renton School District, or his/her designee, for resolution. Failure to arrive a resolution after the Chief Administrative Officer and Superintendent, or their designees meet will require the parties to use a mutually agreed arbitrator to 6c. ‐ Community Services Department recommends approval of a  contract with Renton School District #403 regarding shared use of Page 24 of 61 Agreement between the City of Renton and the Renton School District Page 5 of 5 resolve the dispute.

Submitting Data: Dept/Div/Board: Executive Staff Contact: Marty Wine, x6526 or Iwen Wang, x6858 Recommended Action: Council concur Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required: $ $5,000 Transfer Amendment: $ Amount Budgeted: $ 38,000 Revenue Generated: $0 Total Project Budget: $ 43,000 City Share Total Project: $ SUMMARY OF ACTION: A community survey of residents and businesses has been underway to give the city a sense of how satisfied residents are with city services. PRR, Inc. is conducting a statistically valid survey regarding the quality of life and services, business environment, and quality of work life in Renton. The costs of the survey have been more than estimated, in order to reach a statistically valid sample of Renton residents, with oversampling to mirror Renton's demographics. There are costs related to this sampling to reach out to our diverse population. An amendment to the budget for the survey project is proposed in order to ensure that Renton’s survey reaches out to a variety of households and weights the survey data in a way that best reflect's Renton's population. PRR has had to purchase listed sample for non-white population and renters ($450); additional hours of the survey consulting time to develop and finalize questions for both surveys ($1,260); more extensive weighting of the data to adjust to match census demographics (on the residential survey) and business size (as measured by number of employees for the business survey) ($369); additional costs for fielding residential survey due to extensive efforts to get non-white population participation (estimated at $1,312). Both surveys have been completed, and preliminary results will be delivered by the week of November 21, with a final and more comprehensive report planned after December 1. No changes to appropriations are needed for this contract amendment.
