ELECTION RESULTS INSTEAD OF"2003." CARRIED.
Separate Consideration Human Resources and Risk Management Department recommended approval
Item 8.o. of limited preventative dental care for retired LEOFF 1 (Law Enforcement
Human Resources: LEOFF 1 Officers and Fire Fighters)members.
Members, Dental Care Council President Corman noted that the Finance Committee's authority is
Funding limited on this item, and he invited Mayor Keolker's comments on the matter.
She explained that the LEOFF 1 Disability Board approved this item, and the
City is obligated under State law to fund it since the Board has the authority to
enhance benefits. However, the funding of this item is not in the budget; thus
requiring Council action. She noted LEOFF 1 board members Nelson's and
Law's efforts to reduce the impact of the benefit.
The Mayor shared her philosophical reluctance in placing this item in the
budget, pointing out that LEON- 1 Board members created the additional
benefit for themselves, and LEOFF 1 members receive full medical benefits for
life,paid for by the City, in addition to their State retirement benefit. She
stated that this is a new benefit, and the costs, which are paid by the taxpayers,
will continue to grow over time.
Pointing out that she chairs the LEOFF 1 Board, Councilwoman Nelson
explained that dental coverage has been requested for the last four years,and
the Board has discussed the issue at length. She stated that although a dental
plan is not a requirement, an agreement was finally reached specifying that the
City pay up to$250 per year per member(the benefit is limited to a maximum
of$500 annually and requires 50% co-pay by the retiree receiving care). Ms.

Whereat, the future of the city of Renton and our nation rests on the shoulders of our youth;
and
W herea4; educated, confident, and nurtured children will give rise to a stronger city,
community, state, and nation; and
W herea•r, the mission of Communities in Schools of Renton is to champion the connection of
needed community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school,
and prepare for life; and
W herre& research has shown that mentoring has a definitive impact on young people by
increasing school attendance, improving rates of high school graduation and college attendance,
and decreasing involvement with drugs, alcohol, and violent behaviors; and
W herea4,, the Communities in Schools of Renton Mentoring Program matches a caring adult
with a child in a one-to-one relationship to provide guidance and build confidence, stability, and
direction for that child; and
Whereas; mentoring relationships create continuing cycles of hope and promise, as they not
only provide positive influences for individual children, but also strengthen families and
communities;
Now, There re; I, Kathy Keolker, Mayor of the City of Renton, do hereby proclaim the
month of January, 2006, to be
Ivan' Me 4t-o-r(A 3' Month/
in the City of Renton, in tribute to the many dedicated individuals who volunteer their time,
compassion, and talents to mentor young people, and I encourage all citizens to join me in this
special observance and to consider giving back to our community as mentors.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Renton to be
affixed this 9th day of January, 2006.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 9, 2006
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Kathy Keolker, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day-to-day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
GENERAL INFORMATION
• The offices at Renton City Hall will be closed next Monday, January 16th, in observance of Martin
Luther King Jr. Day. Historically, due to union contract provisions, city offices have remained open,
but in 2005 the City was able to negotiate the holiday observance with its unions. As with other
holidays, essential and public safety services will continue to be provided during the day.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• The Rotary Club of Renton purchased 1,500 coats through Rotary's National Operation Warm Coat.
Over several months, Family Liaisons from Communities In Schools of Renton and Rotarians have
distributed over 1,300 coats to Renton school students. The remaining 200 coats will be distributed
this month.

Email: john.hansen3(a comcast.net
I am experiencing a great deal of noise from a nearby apartment complex known as the
Arbors (this name was changed recently; at one time it was named Cascade Heights). I
have contacted numerous people in the City of Renton government, including police and
code compliance, who do not seem to want to deal with the problem.
This noise results from transferring garbage from small containers to a compactor. It
occurs at any daylight hour at any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
The containers are mechanically banged together, which produces a thunder-clap like
noise. With a db meter, I have measured it at 95 db in my back yard, which is over the
level of hearing damage. My property is not immediately adjacent to the complex and is
about 150 feet away from where the noise is generated. This means that the apartment
residents are experiencing probably 100 db or more. It occurs in 3 to 5 hour"sessions", 4
or five times a week.
I have heard every excuse for not dealing with it, such as "I'm too busy", "we don't have
any way to measure the noise", etc. I am very frustrated especially in dealing with the
code compliance people. I was in contact with Paul Baker, who I spent a couple of
weeks cajoling into witnessing the noise. On the one occasion I managed to have him
witness the problem, he went over to the apartment complex and introduced himself and
stood there while they emptied the containers. Of course, knowing who he was, they
were very careful. He then proceeded to tell them the noise they were making was OK.
This is as Paul Baker described it to me. He did not at any time come to my house and
make a candid observation of the problem.
I have included a petition that is signed by a number of nearby residents who are also
affected by the problem. Even though dated about a year ago, everything in it is still true
(except the complex name changed).
I am convinced that the apartment complex could easily change their garbage handling
operation so it would not create this horrendous noise. That it, I believe this is not
"necessary noise".
I am requesting your help in getting some attention focused on this problem and getting a
solution, as I feel I and my neighbors are suffering terribly due to this out-of-control
noise problem.
Sincerely,

Management of Cascade Heights Apartments
Waste Management
All Concerned Citizens
Subject: Extreme Noise Concerns
We,the undersigned are residents or business occupants of the area approximately described as
follows:
Bounded on the east by Duvall Avenue NE
Bounded on the west by Union Avenue NE
Bounded on the north by NE Sunset Boulevard
Bounded on the south by NE 10th Street
We wish to express our great concern about the extreme high level of noise occurring in our
neighborhood. The information gathered from discussions with apartment management,waste
management personnel,and personal observations indicates that this noise is associated with
emptying of small waste containers(2 yard size)into a large waste compactor machine at the
Cascade Heights Apartments. This compactor is located at the south east corner of the apartment
property and is in close proximity to a number of single family residences.
This noise is a loud, crashing, metallic noise, and apparently occurs when the small containers are
banged against the compactor in an attempt to empty the residue from the small containers. The
containers are handled by machinery, therefore it is possible to bang the containers with a lot of
force. This noise occurs anywhere from 2 to 5 days a week, and occurs over a I to 6 hour period.
This noise is so pervasive that it can he heard loud and clear inside any of the nearby houses even
with all windows and doors shut.
This noise is so loud thai it seriously impacts or prevents normal activities such as:
Studying
Reading
Working at home(i.e. home office)
Watching a video or television
Listening to music
Sleeping or resting
Conversation
We believe we should not be subjected to this level of noise and respectfully request that
measures be taken to stop it or reduce it to a tolerable level. We further state that this level of
noise is not customary or expected in this neighborhood. We also further state that this level of
noise is out-of-line with the City of Renton's stated intentions to protect quality-of-life and to
protect single family residential neighborhoods.
Thank you

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On March 7, 2005, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the City of Renton(on
behalf of Bales Limited Partnership)vacation request for a portion of NE 4th St., located
approximately 180 feet east of Rosario Ave. NE, subject to the City granting easements as
necessary to any outside utilities with facilities in the vacation area, and subject to Bales Limited
Partnership dedicating an area at the intersection of NE 4th St. and Rosario Ave. NE in
anticipation of a future project to signalize that intersection and to add an eastbound far-side bus
pullout. On August 1, 2005, Council accepted the appraisal and waived compensation for the
eight-foot by 150-foot portion. The Technical Services section has since confirmed that no other
amounts are due, and all conditions of the vacation approval have been satisfied. Therefore, the
ordinance can be adopted to finalize the vacation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Finalize the street vacation by adopting the ordinance and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
sign the Deed of Dedication.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Bob Hunt,Renton Historical Society President, introduced the accreditation
Community Services: Museum committee(Vicky Persson,Laura Clawson, Kevin McQuiller, and Museum
Accreditation,Renton Supervisor Steve Anderson), and explained that accreditation of the Renton
Historical Society Historical Museum is one aspect of a process to make the museum more
relevant and more a part of the community. He noted that within the museum's
vision and mission,accreditation is the best vehicle for achieving this goal.
A video about the American Association of Museums'accreditation program
was played, which described how and why the accreditation program was
established, the accreditation process,and the benefits of accreditation for both
the museum and the community. It was pointed out in the video that accredited
status certifies that a museum has met program eligibility criteria and
characteristics of an accredited museum, undergone a rigorous process of self-
assessment and review by its peers, and operates according to current best
practices.
In conclusion, Mr. Hunt indicated that accredited status takes a number of years
to achieve. Council President Briere voiced her excitement about the
accreditation process,and praised everyone for his or her hard work.

Limited Partnership. She indicated that the developer has agreed to dedicate
property at the intersection of NE 4th St. and Rosario Ave. NE in anticipation
of a future project to signalize this intersection and to add an eastbound far-side
bus pullout. Thus,the public benefit of the proposed vacation is the creation of
a consistent and safe alignment along NE 4th St.,and future intersection
improvements.
( Continuing,Ms. McFarland indicated that upon circulation of the street
vacation request,no objections were raised by City departments or outside
agencies. Ms. McFarland reported that the vacation area does not contain any
City facilities; however, it does contain buried utilities owned by Qwest for
which an easement is necessary.
In conclusion,Ms. McFarland stated that staff recommends approval of the
vacation request subject to the following conditions:
1. Bales Limited Partnership dedicate an area at the intersection of NE 4th St.
and Rosario Ave.NE as agreed to in discussions with Transportation
Systems Division staff,and
2. The City grant easements as necessary to any outside utilities with facilities
in the vacation area.
In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry,Ms.McFarland explained that
the subject vacation area will be used for the proposed Amberwood Phase II
Preliminary Plat,and the area that the developer has agreed to dedicate to the
City will be used for the bus pullout.
Responding to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding compensation,Ms.
McFarland stated that it is anticipated that staff will ask Council to waive
compensation for the area to be vacated, since the area to be dedicated by the
developer will be used for future transportation improvements for the overall
benefit of the City.

in Accordance with Government Auditing
Standards
City of Renton
King County
January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004
Mayor and City Council
City of Renton
Renton, Washington
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of Renton, King County, Washington, as of
and for the year ended December 31,2004,and have issued our report thereon dated June 27,2005.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to the financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
COMPLIANCE
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the determination of financial statement amounts. However, the objective of our audit of the financial
statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with these provisions. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of material noncompliance that are required to be reported
herein under Government Auditing Standards.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters
in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is
a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to
the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving
internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended for the information of management, the Mayor and City Council, federal awarding
agencies and pass-through entities. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is

not limited. It also serves to disseminate information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens

COMPLIANCE
We have audited the compliance of the City of Renton, King County, Washington, with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget(OMB) Circular A-133
Compliance Supplement that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended
December 31,2004. The City's major federal program is identified in the Federal Summary. Compliance
with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is
the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City's
compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to the financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133,
Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular
A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and
material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with those
requirements.
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are
applicable to its major federal program for the year ended December 31, 2004.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test
and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.

Independent Auditor's Report on Financial
Statements
City of Renton
King County
January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004
Mayor and City Council
City of Renton
Renton,Washington
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type •
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Renton, King
County, Washington, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, as listed on page 8. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Renton, as of December 31, 2004, and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof, for the year then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report on our consideration
of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in
considering the results of our audit.
The management's discussion and analysis on pages 9 through 23 and budgetary comparison
information on pages 75 through 76 are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied
certain limited procedures,which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods
of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal
Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. This
schedule is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to

the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated,in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The City of Renton's discussion and analysis provides a narrative overview of the City's financial
activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The intent of the discussion and analysis
is to review the City's financial performance as a whole.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) combined with the Transmittal Letter, the
Financial Statements, and the Notes to the Financial Statements represent the complete 2004
financial activities for the City of Renton. These are all intended to help the reader understand
the City's significant financial issues. This MD&A provides an overview of the City's financial
records. The data in this financial report also identifies any material deviations from the financial
plan and the adopted Annual Budget. Finally, the intent of the MD&A and other financial
information is to isolate and identify individual fund issues or concerns.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This is the second year the City prepared its financial records in accordance with the Government
Accounting Standards Board 34 (GASB 34). This method of accounting requires a full
accounting of all infrastructure reporting. This is the first year the full benefits of this new
standard was evident as we are able to show comparisons from the prior year's financial
information.The City fully implemented the final phase of the infrastructure component in 2004.
The City's general government-wide financial statements were prepared on the full accrual basis
of accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The City's
fund financial statements for its major and non-major governmental funds were prepared on the
modified accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. The City's major and non-major
enterprise funds,internal service funds and pension funds were accounted for on the accrual basis.
The City of Renton, along with all cities,counties and other governmental entities in Washington,
must comply with the Budgeting, Accounting, and Reporting System (BARS) as defined by the
Washington State Office of the Auditor(SAO). The SAO audits the financial records of all cities
and other governmental units within the State. The City of Renton's financial system integrates
financial and administrative controls that ensure the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of
financial reports. These controls are designed to provide:
1. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to management
understanding and approval;
2. reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance to GAAP principles;
3. accountability for control of assets and obligations; and
4. assurance that sufficient reporting and review exists to provide adequate information for
analysis and comparability of data.
Internal control is a high priority for the City. The State Office of the Auditor reviews the City's
internal controls,and the City receives and takes action on all the recommendations made.

City of Renton, Washington 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
The City maintains strong budgetary controls in order to ensure compliance with legal provisions
embodied in the annual appropriated budget as approved by the City Council. The City Council
must be authorized any budget increase or decrease to any Fund.
Financial Highlights
• The City's total assets as of December 31,2004,exceeded liabilities by over$431 million.
• As of December 31, 2004, the City's Governmental Activities reported net assets of$242
million. Of this total, $25 million is defined as unrestricted and can be used for needs the
Mayor and Council deem necessary. These monies are intended to provide a cushion
against significant economic downturns in revenues and to maintain sufficient working
capital and cash flow to meet daily financial needs.
• Investments in capital assets comprise $195 million of the $242 million in Governmental
Activities net assets.
• The Business type activities have total net assets of $189 million. Eighty-six (86%)
percent of this total, $163 million, represents the City's investments in capital assets. An
unrestricted balance of$21 million remains and is used to meet day to day cash flow
requirements and to ensure we can meet all obligations of the utilities and other Funds if
the revenues do not meet expectations.
• The City's total principal and interest on outstanding debt as of December 31, 2004 was
$114 million. Of this amount, forty-six percent (46%) or $53 million is dedicated to the
water works projects. Another$2.6 million is for outstanding bonds for Senior Housing.
These bonds have a special taxing authority. The Golf Course has $4.8 million
outstanding in debt service. The balance of $54 million of our debt is dedicated for
general governmental purposes, including the purchase of City Hall, the construction of
the downtown parking garage and a replacement of a fire station (our share of a regional
E-911),Communications Center,and other small projects, including municipal-bonds sold
for fire equipment.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis provides an introduction and overview to the City of Renton's basic
financial statements. The basic financial statements are comprised of three components:
1. Government-wide financial statements;
2. Fund financial statements; and
3. Notes to the financial statements
The graphic representation below illustrates the required components of the City's annual

commonly referred to as GASB 34. This graphic representation should be used in conjunction

In addition to the required components shown in Figure 1, the City's annual report also includes
other voluntary supplementary information. The most significant section is the Combining
Statements. These provide Balance Sheets, Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balances with Budget to Actual comparisons, Statement of Net Assets, and Cash Flows
for all Non-Major Funds.
The next section of information, the Statistical Section, is in the same format as previous year's
information. This section provides a ten-year view of the City's Revenue, Expenditures, Debt
Obligations and Debt Capacity, the City's largest taxpayers, and those entities with the largest
employment within the City of Renton. This section provides a long-term perspective on the
City's economy.
BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-wide Financial Statements provide readers with a broad overview of the City of
Renton's finances in a manner similar to a private sector business. They provide both short-term
and long-term information about the City's overall financial status. The government-wide
statements distinguish between functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues (referred to as "governmental activities") from functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges
Management's Discussion and Analyasis 3-3
Washington State Auditor's Office

City of Renton, Washington 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(referred to as "business-type activities"). The governmental activities of the City include a full
range of local government services provided to the public such as police and fire protection; road
maintenance and construction; community planning and economic development; libraries, parks
and recreational opportunities; and other community services. The business-type activities of the
City include water, sewer, surface water, solid waste management and services, golf course, and
airport.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities with
the difference between the two reported as net assets. This statement for the first time combines
and consolidates governmental funds'current financial resources(short term available resources)
with capital assets and long-term obligations, which is primarily debt. The Statement of Net
Assets serves a purpose similar to that of the Balance Sheet of a private-sector business. Over
time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as one indicator of whether the financial
position of the City is improving or deteriorating. Other indicators to consider when evaluating
the financial position of the City includes changes to the property tax base, general economic
conditions as demonstrated through business licenses fees or sales tax revenue, and the condition
of the City's infrastructure (roads, drainage systems,bridges,water infrastructure.)
The Statement of Activities focuses upon both the gross and net cost of various activities that are
provided by the government's general tax and other revenues. This is intended to summarize and
simplify the user's analysis of cost to various governmental services and/or subsidy to various
•
business-type activities. By separating program revenue from general revenue, users of the
financial statements can identify the extent to which each program relies on taxes for funding.
The Governmental Activities reflect the City's basic functions: General Government, Security of
Person and Property, Physical Environment, Mental and Physical Health, and Culture and
Recreation. Property, sales and utility taxes finance the majority of these functions.
All changes in net assets are reported using accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the
accounting used in the private sector. The accrual basis of accounting requires that revenues are
reported when earned and expenses are reported when incurred, no matter when the revenue will
actually be received or the obligation will be paid. For example, property taxes are shown as a
receivable as revenue even though some amount of these taxes will not be available to the City for
several years. All unpaid vendor obligations are illustrated as an accounts payables obligation as
of December 31.
Fund Financial Statements
Traditional users of governmental financial statements will find the Fund financial statements
familiar. However, GASB 34 states the focus must now be on Major Funds.A fund is a group of
related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities and objectives. The City uses funds to ensure and demonstrate fiscal integrity
and compliance with finance related legal requirements. There are three types of funds:
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.

2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
A Major Fund has three elements as defined by GASB 34:
• Total assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures of that individual governmental or
enterprise funds are at least ten percent(10%)of the corresponding total(assets,liabilities,
etc)for all funds of that category or type(i.e. governmental,proprietary or fiduciary);and
• Total assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of the individual government
° fund or enterprise funds are at least five percent (5%) of the corresponding total for all
governmental and enterprise funds combined; or
• Any other governmental or enterprise fund that the government's officials believe is
particularly important.
Governmental Funds present most of a government's tax-supported activities. The Proprietary
Funds describe and financially manage the government's business-type activities where all or part
of the activities' costs are supported by fees and charges that are paid directly by those who
benefit from the activities. Fiduciary Funds control resources held by the government as a trustee
or agent for parties outside of the government. The resources of Fiduciary Funds cannot be used
to support the government's own programs.
Governmental Funds
The Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances present separate columns of financial data for the
General Fund and the Park Fund. These comprise the City's major governmental funds. Data
from the remaining governmental funds are combined and presented in a single, aggregated
column in the fund statements. Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental funds
is provided in the form of combining statements.
Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. The focus of governmental
fund financial statements is on near-term inflows and outflows of available resources and on
balances of resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information is useful in
evaluating whether there are more or less financial resources that can be spent in the near future to
finance City services.
Because the focus of governmental fund financial statements is a narrower view than that of the
government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare information presented for
governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements. This gives the reader a better understanding of the long-
term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. The Governmental Fund
Balance Sheet and the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues,Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balances provide reconciliation to the governmental activities column in the government-
wide statements to facilitate this comparison.
The City maintains budgetary controls over its governmental funds. Budgetary controls ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget. Governmental
fund budgets are established in accordance with state law and are adopted on a fund level.
General Fund budget variances are reviewed later in this discussion and analysis.

Proprietary Funds
These funds consist of two types: Enterprise and Internal Service. They have always been
operated as private business activity. Enterprise Funds are used to report the same functions as
business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Internal Service Funds are
used to report activities that provide supplies and services to various City departments and to
accumulate and allocate the associated costs of providing these services to the various functions.
The revenues and expenses of internal service funds that are duplicated in other Funds are
eliminated in the government-wide statements. Because the remaining balances primarily benefit
governmental, rather than business-type activities, they have been included within governmental
activities in the government-wide statements.
The City of Renton has two major proprietary funds: Waterworks Utility (water, wastewater and
stormwater) and Solid Waste. All other activities are combined in Other Enterprise Funds.
Governmental Activities Internal Service Funds are reported separately in this section.
The Proprietary Fund Balance Sheet and the Proprietary Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenses,
and Changes in Fund Equity present separate columns of financial data for the Waterworks Utility
and Solid Waste. Data from the remaining enterprise funds are combined and presented in a
single, aggregated column in the fund statements. Governmental Activities Internal Service
Funds are reported separately in this section.
Proprietary Fund statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide
financial statements, only in more detail, since both apply the accrual basis of accounting. In
comparing the total assets and total liabilities between the two statements, only slight differences
will be noticed. One notable difference is that the "due from other funds" (asset) and the "due to
other funds" (liability) in the proprietary fund statements are combined in a single line called
"internal balances" in the asset section of the government-wide statement of net assets.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statements
because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own operations. All of
the City's fiduciary activities are reported in a separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets and a
Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
provided, and are an integral part of the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Combining statements for non-major Governmental and Enterprise funds, as well as internal
service funds, are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on
pensions.

The majority of the City's net assets(83%)are investments in capital assets(e.g.,streets,drainage,
construction in progress, buildings, equipment, water and sewer pipes) less any related
outstanding debt used to acquire these assets. The City's capital assets are used to provide
services to citizens. It should be noted that although the investment in capital assets is reported
net of related debt, resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since
the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Investments in capital assets increased from 2003 to 2004 in Governmental Activities primarily
because the City added the infrastructure assets as required by GASB statement 34. In 2004,the
Waterworks fund issued bonds in the amount of$10 million for constructions projects that
;� increase the long-term liability account in the Business-type activities.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
Governmental Funds Analysis
At year-end, the governmental funds reported a combined fund balance of$40.1 million (refer to
the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet on pages 4-5). This is $3.9 million more than the
beginning of the year balance of $36.2 million. As noted in the Government-wide Financial
Statement, net assets for governmental activities increased by $15.5 million. The difference is
due primarily to the way capital assets are reported. In the fund financial statements, capital
expenditures are reported as current expenditures, thereby directly reducing available resources
(fund balances). At the government-wide level of reporting, the same capital expenditures are
capitalized and thereby included in the net asset balance.
3-12 Management's Discussion and Analyasis
Washington State Auditor's Office

2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
Of the total Governmental Funds Balance of $40.1 million, $39.5 million is classified as
unreserved. The Governmental Funds experienced an increase of$3.9 million in fund balance.
This was due in part to City departments under-expending their 2004 budget allocations and a
prior period adjustment of 2.9 million. Some revenues exceeded our estimates. In particular,
sales and property taxes were higher than budgeted. In 2004, sales taxes increased four percent
(4%)over 2003 due to one full year of sale tax receipts from two new major businesses in Renton
(Fry's Electronics and Sam's Club).
All Departments analyze and ensure they spend below their budgetary limits each year on the
fund level. Salaries and benefits comprise sixty-seven percent (67%) of the General
Governmental expenditures with the trend of this continuing to grow due to increases in
employee's medical benefits and compensation packages. Since salaries and benefits represent
sixty-seven percent(67%)of the entire General Governmental funds, most of the savings in 2004
were due to delays or deferrals in filling position vacancies.
Business Type Funds Analysis
There were no extraordinary events in any of the business type funds. These funds also spent
below their budgetary limits. The large savings in the water utility was due to the fact the capital
expenditures are often not spent as fast as planned due to weather,regulatory compliance,or other
issues outside the utility's management influence.

The City's basic financial structure will be challenged in 2005 and beyond to continue to produce
the necessary revenues to meet rising operational and capital expenses. Over the last few years,
the City's revenues and expenditures have not always been properly aligned, with the City often
having to balance the General Governmental expenditures with existing funds balances. The
financial dilemma is due to a number of factors including past decisions by the State Legislature
and recent decisions by the voters of the State of Washington to restrict tax growth. Legislative
decisions to provide tax breaks to manufacturing and research companies to cut back on revenues
the State shares with local government, and the decision to cap property taxes have further
complicated the City's ability to produce adequate revenues to fund traditional levels of services
and programs. Over the last several years, these adverse State actions have largely offset the
gains the City has made through the City's progressive economic development efforts.
The one percent (1%) limitation on our property tax collections enacted by Initiative 747 has
severely reduced the growth in property tax revenues we have been accustomed to using for
General Governmental services. As a result of this property tax lid, the City's portion of this
year's property tax rate will decrease by two cents per thousand dollars of assessed property
valuation.

2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
Although the City's new fiscal environment may prove to be challenging, 2004 did raise many
promising signs for the health of our local economy that should continue to improve. A positive
indicator of the City's economic health was the four percent(4%)growth in our sales tax revenue
base. Another indicator was the tremendous growth in the collection of real estate excise taxes
resulting from the strong real estate sales activity in 2004. This revenue source more than
doubled over the previous year's collections, resulting in nearly $2.3 million of additional
revenues generated for capital projects. Significant growth in revenues from new construction
has continued in 2004,with over$200 million in new assessed valuation added to our property tax
rolls last year. Single-family housing construction and sales continued to boom with 500 building
permits issued and 1,771 homes sold last year. The City of Renton has also seen renewed interest
in new development projects in downtown Renton and the Valley that should bring new jobs and
housing opportunities in this new year.
i..
While Renton lost 12,000 Boeing jobs over the past five years due to relocation of employees and
the termination of Boeing's 757 program, the company's employment levels have stabilized.
Production of the 737 is actually increasing and the future of the 737 in Renton appears secure
well beyond this decade. The Federal Government's decision to award the Navy's Multi-Mission
Maritime Aircraft to the Boeing Company, and Boeing's decision to build what is projected to be
300 of the new"submarine hunters" at the Renton Plant means more than 1,000 additional jobs in
our community. Production is also ramping up at PACCAR's Kenworth Plant resulting in the
addition of more than 550 jobs in 2004.
The City is looking forward to the redevelopment of surplus property at Boeing's Renton Plant
commencing in late 2005. Boeing has secured a developer to plan and construct a significant
retail and entertainment center on forty-six acres of underutilized property. This major
redevelopment project will begin the transformation of the emerging South Lake Washington
neighborhood. This exciting development will provide Renton residents with a new community-
gathering place and will bring a new array of retail shopping opportunities to our City.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 1,2004 through December 31,2004
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901, and operates under the laws of the
State of Washington applicable to a Non-Charter code city with a Mayor/Council form of
government. A full-time Mayor and seven part-time Council members serve the City, all elected
at large to four-year terms. The City provides the full range of municipal services authorized by
state statues,together with a Municipal Airport,a Waterworks Utility,a Solid Waste Utility, and a
Municipal Golf Course.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City related to the funds included in ,the
accompanying financial statements conform to generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)
applicable to state and local governments. GAAP for local governments include those principles
prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB), when applicable, and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA) pronouncements that have been made applicable by GASB Statements or
Interpretations.
In accordance with GASB Statement 20 the City has not applied to its proprietary activities FASB
Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board opinions, and Accounting Research
Bulletins of the Committee of Accounting Procedure issued after November 30, 1989.
In June 1999, GASB approved Statement 34 "Basic Financial Statements and Management
Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments." Significant changes in the statement
include the following:
• A Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section providing an analysis of the
City's overall position and results of operation.
• Government-wide financial statements prepared using full accrual accounting for all the
City's activities including infrastructure(roads, bridges,traffic signals and signs, etc.).
• A change in the fund financial statements focusing on the major funds.
The City implemented the general provisions of the GASB Statement 34 for the fiscal year 2003
and reported retroactively the infrastructure component(assets acquired between January 1, 1980
to December 31,2002) for fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.
Except as noted above,the City has implemented all applicable GASB Statements through GASB
Statement 40, prior to fiscal year 2004.
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.
Basic Financial Statements 4-17
Washington State Auditor's Office

City of Renton, Washington 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
A. REPORTING ENTITY
As required by GAAP the City's financial statements present the City of Renton — the primary
government. There are no component units (either blended or discretely presented) included in
these statements.
B. BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—GASB 34 PRESENTATION
The City's basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the City as a
whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the City's major funds). Both the government-
wide and fund financial statements categorize primary activities as either government or business-
type.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE STATEMENTS
In the government-wide Statement of Net Assets, both the governmental and business-type
activities columns (a) are presented on a consolidated basis by column, and (b) are reported on a
full accrual, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and receivables as
well as long-term debt and obligations. The City's net assets are reported in three parts —
investment in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted net assets; and unrestricted net assets.
The City first utilizes restricted resources to finance qualifying activities.
The government-wide Statement of Activities reports both the gross and net cost of each of the
City's functions and business-type activities (general government, judicial, security of persons
and property, physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical
health, culture and recreation, waterworks utility, airport, solid waste utility, and golf course).
General government revenues (property taxes, timber taxes, retail sales and use taxes, business
taxes, excise taxes, and other taxes) also support the functions. The Statement of Activities
reduces gross expenses (including depreciation) by related program revenues, operating and
capital grants and contributions. Program revenues must be directly associated with the function
or a business-type activity. Operating grants include operating specific and discretionary (either
operating or capital)grants while the capital grants column reflects capital specific grants.
The net cost, by function or business-type activity, is normally covered by general revenues.
The government-wide focus is more on the sustainability of the City as an entity and the change in
the City's net assets resulting from the current year's activities.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the fund financial statements, transactions are recorded in individual funds, each accounted for
by a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise assets, liabilities, reserves, fund equity,
revenues, and expenditures or expenses. The presentation is by major funds in either the
governmental or business-type categories. GASB Statement 34 sets forth the minimum criteria
for the determination of a major fund. The non-major funds are combined in the fund financial
statements and are detailed in the combining section.
The governmental major fund statements in the fund financial statement are presented on current
financial resources and modified accrual basis of accounting. Since governmental fund
statements are presented on a different measurement focus and basis of accounting than the
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.
4-18 Basic Financial Statements
Washington State Auditor's Office
40
2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
government-wide statements' governmental column,a reconciliation is presented at the end of the
statement, which briefly explains the adjustments necessary to transform the fund statements into
the government-wide presentation.
Internal service funds of a government are presented in summary form as part of the proprietary
fund financial statements. Since the principal users of the internal services are the City's
governmental activities, financial statements for internal service funds are consolidated into the
governmental column when presented at the governmental level. These services are reflected in
the appropriate functional activity(general government,judicial,security of persons and property,
- physical environment, transportation, economic environment, mental and physical health, culture
and recreation).
Interfund fund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions are payments in lieu of taxes, external type transactions within the internal service
funds(revenue and expenses for interest or services provided to other governmental organization)
and other charges for waterworks utility or storm water utility. Elimination of these charges
would distort the direct cost and program revenues for these functions.
The City's fiduciary funds are presented in the fund financial statements. Since the assets are
being held for the benefit of a third party and cannot be used for obligations of the City, they are
not included in the government-wide statements.
The following describes each fund as presented in the fund financial statements.

PENSION TRUST FUND
FIREMEN'S PENSION FUND
The Firemen's Pension Fund accounts for the payment of administrative costs and benefits for

other securities pending fulfillment of certain conditions and/or requirements by the depositor.
Refunds are made when all obligations have been met and only upon authorization from the
transmitting department.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized
in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. It relates to the timing of the
measurement made regardless of the measurement focus applied:
1. Accrual
Both governmental and business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements and
the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
Substantially all government fund revenues are accrued. Property taxes are billed and collected
within the same period in which taxes are levied. Subsidies and grants to proprietary funds,
which finance either capital or current operations, are reported as non-operating revenue based on
GASB Statement 33. In applying GASB Statement 33 to grant revenues, the provider recognizes
liabilities and expenses and the recipient recognizes receivables and revenue when the eligibility
requirements, including time requirements, are met. Resources transmitted before the eligibility
requirements are met, are reported as advances by the provider and deferred revenue by the
recipient.
2. Modified Accrual
The government funds financial statements are presented on the modified basis of accounting.
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to
accrual: i.e., both measurable and available. "Available" means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The City
considers all revenue reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are
collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are generally recognized under the
modified accrual basis of accounting when the related liability is incurred. The exception to this
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

City of Renton, Washington 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
general rule is that principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt, if any, is
recognized when due.
D. ASSETS,LIABILITIES,AND FUND EQUITY
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, demand deposits, and all highly
liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when
purchased. These amounts are classified on the balance sheet or in the statement of net assets as
cash and cash equivalents or investments in the various funds. The interest on these investments
is prorated to the applicable funds. Included in this category are all funds invested in the Local
Government Investment Pool and Municipal Investor Account. Excluded from this category are
cash balances held by Fiscal Agents since the City does not have discretionary use of these funds.
2. Investments—Refer to Note 3B.
3. Receivables and Payables—Amounts Owed/Payable to/by the City at year-end.
Taxes receivable consists of property taxes and related interest and penalties (Refer to Note 4).
Accrued interest receivable consists of amounts earned on investments, notes, and contracts.
Accrued interest payable consists of amounts owed on notes, loans,and contracts.
Customer accounts receivable/payable consists of amounts owed from/to private individuals or
organizations for goods and services. If the transactions are with another governmental unit, it is
accounted for within"due from/to other governments".
Special assessments are recorded when levied and are liens against the property benefited.
Special assessments receivable consist of current and delinquent assessments and related interest
and penalties. Deferred assessments consist of special assessments not due within one year.
Receivables have been reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts. Because property taxes,
special assessments, and utility billings are considered liens on property, no estimated
uncollectible amounts are established.
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of
interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between the governmental activities and
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal
balances" (Refer to Note 10).
Advances between funds,as reported in the fund financial statements,are offset by a fund balance
reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for
appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term liabilities are reported in applicable governmental activities, business-type
activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets.
The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of this statement.

Unamortized Premium—the unamortized portion of the excess of bonds proceeds over their face
value(excluding accrued interest and issuance costs).
Deferred Amount-Refunding—The difference between the carrying amount of redeemed/defeased
debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of
the debt or the life of the new debt,whichever is shorter.
4. Inventories and prepaid items
All City inventories are maintained on a consumption basis of accounting where items are
4 purchased for inventory and charged to the budgetary accounts as the items are consumed. Any
material inventories at year-end are included in the balance sheet of the appropriate fund.
Inventories are carried at cost on the first-in, first out—FIFO basis.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are reported
as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund statements.
5. Capital Assets and Depreciation—(Refer to Note 5)
6. Deferred Revenues
This account includes amounts recognized as receivables but not revenues in the governmental
funds because the revenue recognition criterion has not been met.
7. Custodial Accounts
This account reflects the liability for net monetary assets being held by the City in its agency
capacity.
8. Compensated Absences
The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and other leave and associated employee-related
costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. The non-current portion (the
amount estimated to be used in subsequent fiscal years) for governmental funds is maintained
separately and represents a reconciling item between the fund and government-wide
presentations.
9. Fund Balance Designations and Reservations
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use
for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that
are subject to change. The City has the following reserved or designated fund balances.

function, debt service principle and interest payments, or purchases of capital items. Proprietary
expenditures are classified as operating or non-operating.
5. Operating and Non-operating Revenues and Expenses
Operating revenues and expenses for proprietary funds are those that result from providing
services and producing and delivering goods and/or services in connection to the proprietary

and related financing, non-capital financing, or investing activities. All revenues and expenses
not meeting this definition are non-operating revenues and expenses.
r` NOTE 2. COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
The City of Renton budgets its funds on the cash basis of accounting at the fund level. Annual
appropriated budgets are adopted for governmental funds. Budgets for proprietary funds are
"management budgets" and are not legally required to be reported. Included in the Required
Supplemental and Combining sections of the CAFR are Schedules of Revenues, Expenditures,
and Changes in Fund Balances (Budget to Actual) reporting the Actual Budgetary Basis (cash
basis) verses Actual GAAP Basis of Accounting(modified basis) for all legally adopted budgets.
There have been no material violations of finance-related legal or contractual provisions, and
there have been no expenditures exceeding legal appropriations in any of the funds of the City.
A. PROCEDURES FOR ADOPTING THE ORIGINAL BUDGET
The City of Renton's budget procedures are mandated by the Revised Code of Washington
35a.33. The steps in the budget process are as follows:
1. Prior to November 1, the Mayor submits a proposed budget to the City Council. This budget
is based on priorities established by the Council and estimates provided by the City
departments during the preceding months,and is balanced with revenue estimates made by the
Mayor.
• 2. The City Council conducts public hearings on the proposed budget in November and
December.
3. The Council makes their adjustments to the proposed budget and adopts, by ordinance, a
final balanced budget no later than December 31.
4. The final operating budget as adopted is published and distributed within the first four months
of the following year.
B. AMENDING THE BUDGET
The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Budgets are adopted on
the cash basis of accounting; therefore any comparisons between budget and actual revenues and
expenditures are reported under the budgetary basis. The annual budget is adopted with
budgetary control at the fund level, so expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that
level of detail. Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the City Council has the

Investment Pool (LGIP), or certificates of deposit with Washington State Banks and savings and

A 2a7-like-pool is an external investment pool that is not registered with the SEC as an
investment company, but nevertheless has a policy that it will, and does, operate in a manner
consistent with the SEC's Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The LGIP,
managed by the Washington State Office of the Treasurer, is comparable to a Rule 2a7-pools
recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Rule 2a7 allows SEC-registered mutual
funds to use amortized cost rather than market value to report net assets to compute share prices.
Investments are shown on the entity-wide Statement of Net Assets at fair market value or for 2a7-

NOTE 4. PROPERTY TAXES
The County Finance Director acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all
taxing authorities. Taxes are levied annually on January 1 on property value listed as of the prior
August 31. Assessed values are established by the County Assessor at 100 percent of fair market
value. A revaluation of all property is required every two years; however King County has the
ability to revalue annually.
Property taxes levied by the County Assessor and collected by the County Finance Director
become a lien on the first day of the levy year and may be paid in two equal installments if the
total amount exceeds $30.00. The first half of real property taxes is due on April 30 and the
balance is due October 31. Delinquent taxes bear interest at the rate of 12 percent and are subject
to additional penalties if not paid as scheduled. No allowance for uncollectible taxes is
established because delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible.

2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report City of Renton, Washington
At year-end, property taxes are recorded as a receivable with the portion not expected to be
collected within 60 days offset by deferred revenue. During the year, property tax revenues are
recognized when cash is received.
The tax rate for general City operations is limited to $3.35 per $1000 of assessed value. Of this
amount, up to $.45 per thousand may be designated for contribution to the Firemen's Pension
Fund if a report by a qualified actuary indicated that additional funds are required.
The tax rate limit may be reduced for any of the following reasons:
1. The Levy Limit: The levy limit calculation applies to a taxing district's budget, and not to
increases in the assessed value or tax bill of individual properties. Initiative 747 restricts
individual taxing districts from collecting, in any year, more than a 1% increase in their
regular, non-voted, levy over the highest levy amount since 1985. New construction,
annexations, and excess levies approved by the voters are not included in the levy limit
calculation. If the assessed valuation increases by more than one percent due to revaluation,
the levy rate will be decreased.
2. The One Percent Constitution Limit: The Washington State Constitution limits the regular
(non-voted) combined property tax rate applied to an individual's property to one percent
($10 per$1000)on the market valuation. Voters may approve special levies that are added to
this figure. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each is proportionately reduced
until the total is at or below the one-percent limit.
3. The City may voluntarily levy taxes below the legal limit.
Special levies approved by the voters are not subject to the above limitations. The City's regular
levy for 2004 is$3.16 and the excess levy for General Obligation Bond debt is $.08 for a total of
$3.24, per the King County Assessor's 2004 Annual Report.
NOTE 5. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
A. GENERAL POLICES
Major expenditures for capital assets, including capital leases and major repairs that increase the
useful life, are capitalized. The capitalization threshold applied to the City's assets is $5,000.
Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are accounted for as expenditures or expenses when
incurred.
All capital assets are valued at historical cost (or estimated cost, where historical cost is not
known /or estimated market value for donated assets /or the lower of cost or fair market value
when transferred between proprietary and governmental funds.)
The City has acquired certain assets with funding provided by federal financial assistance
programs. Depending on the terms of the agreements involved, the federal government could
retain an interest in these assets. However,the City has sufficient legal interest to accomplish the
purposes for which the assets were acquired, and has included such assets within the applicable
statements.

The following disclosures are made pursuant to GASB Statement No. 27, Accounting for
Pensions by State and Local Government Employers.
Public Employees Retirement System (PERS)Plans 1, 2, and 3
Plan Description
PERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of three separate plans for
membership purposes: Plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans and Plan 3 is a combination
defined benefit/defined contribution plan. Membership in the system includes: elected officials;
state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals, and Superior courts (other than judges
currently in a judicial retirement system); employees of legislative committees; community and
technical colleges, college and university employees (not in national higher education retirement
programs);judges of district and municipal courts; and employees of local governments. PERS
participants who joined the system by September 30, 1977,are Plan 1 members. Those joined on
or after October 1, 1977 and by either February 28, 2002 for state and higher education
employees, or August 31, 2002 for local government employees, are Plan 2 members unless they
exercise an option to transfer their membership to Plan 3. PERS participants joining the system
on or after March 1, 2002 for state and higher education employees, or September 1, 2002 for
local government employees have the irrevocable option of choosing membership in either PERS
Plan 2 or PERS Plan 3. The option must be exercised within 90 days of employment. An

employee is reported in Plan 2 until a choice is made. Employees who fail to choose within 90
days default to PERS Plan 3. PERS defined benefit retirement benefits are financed from a
combination of investment earnings and employer and employee contributions. PERS retirement
benefit provisions are established in state statute and may be amended only by the State
Legislature.
Plan 1 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement at any age after 30 years of service, or at age 60 with
five years of service, or at age 55 with 25 years of service. The annual pension is 2 percent of the
average final compensation per year of service, capped at 60 percent. The average final
compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any 24 eligible consecutive
compensation months. If qualified, after reaching age 66, a cost-of-living allowance is granted
based on years of service credit and is capped at 3 percent annually.
Plan 2 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 2 members may retire at age 65 with five years of service, or at 55 with 20 years of service,
with an allowance of 2 percent of the average final compensation per year of service. The average
r .
final compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible consecutive -
month period. Plan 2 retirements prior to age 65 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at age
55 or older with 30 years of service,a 3 percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial
reduction will apply. There is no cap on years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is
granted(indexed to the Seattle Consumer Price Index),capped at 3 percent annually.
Plan 3 has a dual benefit structure. Employer contributions finance a defined benefit component,
and member contributions finance a defined contribution component. The defined benefit portion
provides a benefit calculation at 1 percent of the average final compensation per year of service.
The average final compensation is based on the greatest compensation during any eligible
consecutive 60-month period. Plan 3 members become eligible for retirement if they have at least
ten years of service; or five years including twelve months that were earned after age 54; or five
service credit years earned in PERS 2 prior to June 1, 2003. Plan 3 retirements prior to age 65
receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at age 55 or older with at least 30 years if service; a 3
percent per year reduction applies; otherwise an actuarial reduction will apply. There is no cap on
years of service credit; and Plan 3 provides the same cost-of-living allowance as Plan 2. The
defined contribution portion can be distributed in accordance with an option selected by the
member, either as a lump sum or pursuant to other options authorized by the Employee
Retirement Benefits Board.

Law Enforcement Officer's and Fire Fighter's Retirement System(LEOFF) Plans 1 &2
Plan Description
LEOFF is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of two separate defined
benefit plans. Membership in the system includes all full-time, fully compensated; local law
enforcement officers and firefighters. LEOFF is comprised primarily of non-state employees,
with the exception of the Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers, who were first
included prospectively effective July 27, 2003. LEOFF participants who joined the system by
September 30, 1977 are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October 1, 1977 are Plan
2 members. Effective July 1, 2003, the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board was established to
provide governance of LEOFF Plan 2. The Board's duties include adopting contribution rates
and recommending policy changes to the Legislature for the LEOFF Plan 2 retirement plan.
Effective January 1, 2003, firefighter emergency medical technicians (EMTs) may transfer PERS
Plan 1 or Plan 2 service credit to LEOFF Plan 2 if while employed for the city, town, county or
district, the EMT's job was relocated to a fire department from another city, town, county or
district. LEOFF defined benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings,
employer and employee contributions, and a special funding situation in which the state pays the
remainder through state legislative appropriations. LEOFF retirement benefit provisions are
established in state statute and may be amended only by the State Legislature.
Plan 1 retirement benefits are vested after an employee completes five years of eligible service.
Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement with five years of service at the age of 50. The benefit
per year of service calculated as a percent of final average salary is as follows:
Percent of Final
Term of Seri ice Average Salary
20 or more ears 2.0%
10 but less than 20 ears 1.5%
5 but less than 10 ears 1.0%
The final average salary is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a
member has held the same position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of retirement.
Otherwise, it is the average of the highest consecutive 24 months' salary within the last 10 years
of service. If membership was established in LEOFF after February 18, 1974, the service
retirement benefit is capped at 60 percent of final average salary. A cost-of-living allowance is
granted(indexed to the Seattle Consumer Price Index.)

are reduced 3 percent for each year that the benefit commences prior to age 53. There is no cap on
years of service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted(indexed to the Seattle Consumer
Price Index),capped at 3 percent annually.

Funding Policy
Starting on July 1, 2000, Plan 1 employers and employees will contribute zero percent as long as
the plan remains fully funded. Employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the
Office of the State Actuary to fully fund the plan. Plan 2 employer and employees are required to
pay at the level adopted by the Department of Retirement Systems in accordance with Chapter
41.45 RCW. All employers are required to contribute at the level required by state law. The
Legislature, by means of a special funding arrangement, appropriated money from the state
General Fund to supplement the current service liability and fund the prior service cost of Plan 2
in accordance with the requirements of the Pension Funding Council. However, this special
funding situation is not mandated by the state constitution and this funding requirement could be
returned to the employers by a change in statute. The methods used to determine the contribution
rates are established under state statute in accordance with chapters 41.26 and 41.45 RCW.

prior to the inception of LEOFF;and City contributions required to meet projected future pension
obligations. Costs of administering the Fire Fighter's Pension Plan are paid by the Plan. For
2004,this cost was$7,099. An actuarial valuation is done every two years and was completed as
of January 1, 2005. The recap of the last three valuations is as follows:

City of Renton, Washington 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
The Annual Required Contribution(ARC) was computed using an alternate funding method, the
Entry Age Normal Cost Method. Under this method the projected benefits are allocated on a level
basis as a percentage of salary over the earnings of each individual between entry age and
assumed exit age. The amount allocated to each year is called the Normal Cost and the portion of
the Actuarial Present Value of all benefits not provided for by future Normal Cost payments is
called the Actuarial Accrued Liability. Since all members have already retired,the amount of the
Normal Cost is zero. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) is the Actuarial
Accrued Liability minus the actuarial value of the Fund's assets. The actuarial accrued liability is
equal to the present value of benefits.The three-year trend of annual pension cost and net pension
obligation is recapped as follows:

Employees are not required to make contributions. The contributions to the System for 2004
include$70,250 from fire insurance premiums and$492,419 of investment income.
In the past, we did not subtract disbursements from the fund for non-pension payments
(administrative and medical expenses paid out of the fund) from employer contributions. After
reviewing GASB comments and procedures, we believe that these should be subtracted from
employer contributions, even if it results in negative contributions.
Also in the past years,we constrained the annual required contribution(ARC)to be non-negative,
even though there has been a negative unfunded liability for the pension plan. We have now
removed this constraint.
As a result of these changes, the annual required contribution and the annual pension cost are
actually negative for 2004. The Net Pension Obligation moves from ($179, 836) to ($446,410)
and is included in the City of Renton's General Fund as a liability.
It is our understanding that GASB prefers that funds do not re-state previous statements, so we
have not changed any amounts prior to 12/31/2003.
NOTE 7. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note 6, the City provides post employment
benefits in accordance with State statute to all LEOFF I (law enforcement officers and fire
fighters hired prior to 10/1/77) and Fire Pension (fire fighters hired prior to 3/1/70) retirees.
Currently there are 98 LEOFF I retirees who receive necessary medical and hospitalization
coverage and five retirees who are covered solely by the Fire Pension Plan and receive medical

coverage limited to treatment of service-related disabilities only. Expenditures for post
employment health care benefits are recognized as retirees report claims. The City does not have
a funding policy at this time and no assets are designated for this purpose. During the year,
expenditures of$760,624 were recognized for post employment health care.
State statute provides that the City's responsibility for medical payments of LEOFF I retirees is
secondary to any other coverage retirees receive or are eligible to receive. The City recognizes a
potential savings exists when retirees utilize Medicare as primary coverage and the City for
secondary coverage and ineligible expenses. Therefore, upon reaching age 65, the City requires
the retirees to apply for and utilize Medicare Part B coverage. The City reimburses these
Medicare premiums at an average cost of approximately $66.60 per month for forty-four (44)
LEOFF I retirees and five(5) Fire Pension retirees.
NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The City has recorded in its financial statements all material liabilities, including an estimate for
situations which are not yet resolved but where, based on available information, management
believes it is probable that the City will have to make payment. In the opinion of management,
the City's insurance policies and/or self-insurance reserves are adequate to pay all known or
pending claims.
Contingencies under Grant Provisions
The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted programs. These grants are subject
to audit by the grantors or their representatives. Such audits could result in requests for
reimbursement to grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. The
City's management believes that such disallowances, if any,will be immaterial.
Bond Indentures
The City is in compliance with all significant bond indenture and restrictions.

NOTE 9. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Renton is exposed to various risks of loss related to tort; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City
of Renton protects itself against unforeseen losses by utilizing a three-pronged risk management
approach. First, the City self-funds first level losses through its Insurance Fund. Second, excess
insurance is purchased to cover medium and large losses. And third,the City reserves the right to
utilize the provisions of RCW 35A.31.060 to fund catastrophic or uninsured losses. This State
statute allows cities to levy a non-voted property tax increase to pay for uninsured claims. An
analysis of the self-insurance retention levels, limits of insurance, and claims administrators for
the major types of coverage is as follows:

During 2004, there were no reductions in insurance coverage, and settlements for the last three
years have not exceeded insurance coverage.
The City of Renton is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority(WCIA).
Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (Self-Insurance Regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal
Cooperation Act),nine(9)cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created
for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance,jointly self-
insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 108
members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term and thereafter automatically renew on an
annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated.
Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during
membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes
general,automobile, police, public officials' errors or omissions, stop-gap,and employee benefits
liability. Limits are $3 million per occurrence self insured layer, and $11 million per occurrence
in the re-insured excess layer with no annual aggregate except$10 million per member for public
officials' errors and omissions. The excess layer is insured by the purchase of reinsurance and
insurance. Total limits are $14 million per occurrence. The Board of Directors determines the
limits and terms of coverage annually.

Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler
and machinery are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage.
Property insurance and auto physical damage are self-funded from the members' deductible to
$250,000 for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that amount by the
purchase of reinsurance.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, claims and
litigation administration, and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation,
consultants for personnel issues and land use problems, insurance brokerage, and lobbyist
services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated
basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss
adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to
additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment
of WCIA's assets in financial instruments, which comply with all State guidelines. These
revenues directly offset portions of the membership's annual assessment.

NOTE 10. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
Interfund transactions are classified as follows:
1. Services Provided — Transactions that would be treated as revenues, expenditures, or
expenses if they involved external organizations, such as buying goods and services or
payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they involve other funds of the City of
Renton.
2. Transfers—Transactions to support the operations of other funds are recorded as"Transfers"
and classified with "Other Financing Sources or Uses" in the fund statements. Transfers
between governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the
Government-wide financial statements.
3. Contributions—Contributions to the capital of enterprise or internal service funds, transfers
of capital assets between proprietary and governmental funds, transfers to establish or
reduce working capital in other funds, and transfers remaining balances when funds are
closed are classified non-operating revenue.
4. Loans/Advances—Loans between funds are classified as interfund loans receivable and pay-
able or as advances to and from other funds in the fund statements. Interfund loans do not
affect total fund equity, but advances to other funds are offset by a reservation of fund
equity. Loans and Advances are subject to elimination upon consolidation.

NOTE 11. NET ASSETS
The government-wide and business type fund financial statements utilize a net asset presentation.
Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets are categorized as
investments in capital assets(net of related debt), restricted,and unrestricted.
A. Investment in Capital Assets(net of related debt) is intended to reflect the portion of net assets
which are associated with non-liquid, capital assets less outstanding capital asset related debt.
The net related debt is the debt less the outstanding liquid assets and any associated
unamortized costs.
B. Restricted assets are liquid assets(generated from revenues and not bond proceeds)which have
third party (statutory, bond covenant, or granting agency) limitations on their use. The City
would typically use restricted assets first, as appropriated opportunities arise, but reserve the
right to selectively defer the use thereof to a future project or replacement equipment
acquisition.

NOTE 12. PRIOR YEAR RESTATEMENTS

$3,842. This was due to an error in accounting resulting in overstatement of interest earnings
accrual in 2003.

Washington. Beginning in 2004 this receivable was recorded and resulted in a prior period
adjustment in the General Fund of$2,982.661.
NOTE 13. SHORT TERM DEBT
Short-term debt is defined as debt with maturity of one year or less from the date of issuance. The
City had no short-term debt in 2004.
NOTE 14. LONG TERM DEBT

FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator(x6606)
SUBJECT: Museum Management Agreement
DATE: January 9, 2006
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor to sign the proposed management agreement
with the Renton Historical Society?
Recommendation:
Concur with the Administration's request for authorization to sign the Management
Agreement with the Renton Historical Society.
Background:
• During most of 2005 the attached management agreement has been under
discussion between the City staff and the Historical Society.
• The basis for the agreement is that the City provides resources to the operations
and maintenance of the museum in return for services provided to the City by the
Historical Society. The responsibilities of the Society to the City and vice versa
are spelled out in the body of the agreement.
• In 2006, the resources provided by the City are estimated to total $147,186,
including one FTE (Museum Supervisor), part time support, building
maintenance, and information systems (IS) support.
• This financial support is contingent upon the availability of sufficient annual City
revenue to support the expenditures requested as part of the annual budget cycle.
City of Renton Memorandum

Page 2 of 2
• Society services to the City include historical research, the temporary provision of
artifacts, land use history, and other requests for services.
• After several iterations of the draft Management Agreement, both the
Administration and the Historical Society Board have reached agreement on its
content.
• This agreement will be effective upon signing by the Mayor and will be in effect
for 10 years with an option for an additional 10 years.
• Termination for any cause by either party is authorized upon 180 days written
notice to the other party.
Conclusion:
The Management Agreement outlines the method by which the Historical Society and the
City will partner in the future. It is a reasonable division of effort and does not obligate
the City beyond its ability to fund its portion of the partnership.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Administration is recruiting for a replacement Museum Supervisor. Of the 18 applications, six were
interviewed in December, 2005. Three candidates were then selected to proceed in the selection process
by the evaluation panel. All three candidates are out-of-state: Idaho, New York, and Maryland. To
insure that the City hires the best candidate, the Administration proposes to split travel costs with the
Renton Historical Society and ask the finalists to pay for their own lodging and meals. The finalists have
informally agreed to this arrangement.
The position of Museum Supervisor is authorized and funded in the 2006 Budget Appropriation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve payment of 50%of transportation expenses for three Museum Supervisor candidates for a
second round of interviews.

COMMUNITY SERVICES
0 Committed to Enriching Lives 0
TO: Randy Corman, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: p Kathy Keolker, Mayor
FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator(x6606)
SUBJECT: Museum Supervisor Hiring Process
DATE: January 9, 2006
Issue:
Should the Council concur in the Administration's plan to cost share the expenses of
bringing three candidates to Renton for a second round of interviews?
Recommendation:
Split the cost of transportation expenses equally with the Renton Historical Society, and
have each finalist pay their own lodging and meal costs.
Background:
• The Museum Supervisor's position has been vacant since September 2005. In
October the recruitment process began to find a new supervisor.
• Eighteen applications were received. Six of the applicants were invited to the first
round of interviews. Five were interviewed in person and one was interviewed by
telephone.
• Based on the result of the first round of interviews, three candidates stood out as
very competitive for the position. However, all three finalists were from out of
state. One was from Idaho, one from New York, and one (the telephone
interviewee) from Maryland.
• In order to ensure the City selects the best candidate to meet our needs, the
Selection Committee recommended that a second round of interviews be held in
Renton.

• The plan for the second round includes a cost sharing arrangement whereby the
City and the Historical Society equally share in the cost of the candidates' travel
expenses. Additionally, each candidate would pay for their own lodging and
meals. This arrangement allows them to stay as long as they like, stay where they
would like, and yet have their transportation to Renton reimbursed. The finalists
have informally agreed to this arrangement.
• This arrangement also serves as a gauge of each candidate's interest in, and
commitment to, the position.
• The position has been authorized and budgeted in the 2006 City Budget.
Conclusion:
The City will be well served to proceed with a second round of interviews for the position
of Museum Supervisor using the proposed cost sharing arrangement.

PO Box 2566
Renton, WA 98056
Sunset Crest Short Plat
LUA 04-119, SHPL-H, ECF
LOCATION: 3715 NE 19th Street
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Hearing Examiner Short Plat approval for an eight lot
subdivision of a 3.85 acre site.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve subject to
conditions
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on December 14, 2004.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
MINUTES
The following minutes are a summary of the December 28, 2004 hearing.
The legal record is recorded on CD.
The hearing opened on Tuesday, December 28, 2004, at 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor
of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were entered into the record:
Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original Exhibit No. 2: Neighborhood Detail Map
application, proof of posting, proof of publication and
other documentation pertinent to this request.
Exhibit No. 3: Preliminary Short Plat Plan Exhibit No.4: Preliminary Drainage and Utility Plan
Exhibit No. 5: Zoning Map
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Susan Fiala, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The subject plat consists of 3.58
acres which are proposed to be divided into eight lots. The site is located north of NE Sunset Boulevard,access
Sunset Crest Short Plat
File No.: LUA-04-119, SHPL-H, ECF

to the site would be from Union Avenue NE to NE 19 Street. A utility easement is located on the westerly
portion of the site. There are steep slopes on the site that encompass a significant amount of the southeast
portion of the site. There are two gas pipelines that cross the western portion of the property and farther to the
west are the overhead transmission lines. Also located on the site is an unnamed tributary that traNerses the
southeast portion of the site and drains into Honey Creek,approximately 75-feet to the south of the site.
There are two tracts proposed,Tract A the sensitive area tract which would contain all the sensitive and
protected slopes as well as the tributary and Tract B which is proposed for the drainage wet pond located in the
western corner of the site.
This subject land is vested to the R-8 development regulations that were in effect prior to the new code effective
date of November 10, 2004.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated with nine
mitigation measures. No appeals were filed.
The subject site is designated Residential Single Family on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. All land
use elements, housing,environmental elements of the comprehensive plan are in compliance. The net was
calculated to 5.4 dwelling units per acre which complies with the density requirements for the R-8 zone. The
proposal's compliance with all building standards would be verified prior to the issuance of individual building
permits.
All lots comply with arrangement and access requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. The proposed lots
appear to have sufficient building area for the development of detached single-family homes.
Access to Lots 1 through 3 is directly to NE 19`h Street, lots 4 through 8 would have access from the new public
road (Road A). Street improvements along the frontages of NE 19'h Street and Road A are required, including
pavement, sidewalks,City of Renton streetlights, and street name signs. A dedication often feet of right-of-way
is required for NE 19th Street. The applicant shows six feet,the additional four feet appears that it could be
gained by reducing the size of Lots 4 and 5 and still meet lot size and width and depth.
Staff recommends the establishment of a maintenance agreement for all common improvements.
The steep slopes would be located within Tract A. The north portion of the property is vegetated with grass and
several medium to large trees. A grove of fruit trees are in the southwest portion. The western edge of the
property is cleared for the large overhead power lines. All vegetation in the sensitive areas would be
maintained.
To protect the privacy of an abutting neighbor west of the proposed development staff is requiring that a six-foot
high fence be placed along the entire west property line of the proposed development. The staff further
recommends that the applicant be required to plant two ornamental trees within the 20-foot front yard setback
area for all lots within the short plat.
Fire,Traffic and Mitigation Fees are proposed.
The site is located within the boundaries of the Renton School District. The School District has indicated that
they can accommodate the additional students.
The project would include the development of a new detention pond and a wetpond located near the west
property line of the site within Tract B. Staff recommends that Tract B be fenced along its entire perimeter.

The site is located within the City of Renton water service area. An 8-inch water main and service lines are
required to be installed, including fire hydrants. There is an 8-inch sanitary sewer main in NE 19th Street. The
sewer needs to be moved to the east side of the centerline. Each lot must be served with an individual side
sewer.
Staff recommends approval of this short plat subject to five conditions.
James Jaeger,Jaeger Engineering, 9419 S 204th Place, Kent, WA 98031 stated that they have been working with
staff and agree with the conditions mentioned. Regarding the Olympic Gas Pipeline, it is within the Defense
Department Easement,the common easement with the pipeline and the PSE power lines. They have been
surveyed, they are 80 to 100-feet from the edge of the easement. In respect to the steep slopes, there was a
geotechnical report prepared that addressed the steep slopes, building setbacks for houses and the drainage plan.
The recommendations from the report were that any structures be 10-feet away from the edge of the 30% slopes.
The pond is actually over 30-feet from the top of the 30% slopes and 20-feet from the edge of the pipAline.
In the staff report, item G, Department Analysis Description, in the first paragraph, Tract A and Tract B are
reversed.
On page 7, Access and Street Improvements, it talks about the additional 10-feet that will be necessary along NE
19th Street as additional right-of-way. Lots 1, 2 and 3 can be slid an additional four feet in order to provide the
10 feet and take that space away from Lots 4 and 5, it does upset the building envelope on Lot 5, more
significantly than Lot 4. Right now there is 15-feet of right-of-way on their half right-of-way on NE 19`x'Street,
a 16-foot road will fit to the curb plus a 5-foot sidewalk in a 21-foot half right-of-way. A 42 foot right-of-way is
the minimum and fairly common in new short plats.
The Examiner asked if Lots 1, 2 and 3 could be shortened? Mr. Jaeger stated that Lots 1 and 2 were at the
minimum area now. It could be accommodated with Lots 4 and 5, but it seems that there would be four extra
feet of right-of-way that would not be used.
Regarding the six-foot high wood fence along the entire west property line, they would like to modify that to the
west property line of roadway and even Lot 8 and possibly the north line of Tract B, up to a point where the
pond fencing would intersect with it. With the pond fence, it states"no chain link, if possible". If we used vinyl
coated chain link within the easement area that did not front Lot 8 or the offsite property to the north, it seems it
would not present any aesthetic problem because there is nothing that would view the fence.
Roger Allan, 3629 NE 19th Street, Renton, WA stated that he resides to the west of the proposed site, by the
drainage pond area. They had concerns about the fence to keep people from driving into the house as well as
noise and lights. He stated that he did not have any problems with the fencing that was proposed today.
Arneta Henninger, City of Renton, Plan Review Section stated that on page 7 of the staff report it mentions the
dedication of 10-feet of right-of-way. The City code requires that roadways be a minimum of 50-feet for public
right-of-way, the code also allows for new development, if the applicant submits a letter requesting a
modification, the internal roads may be modified down to 42 feet. The question here is NE 19t Street and that
is an existing right-of-way, that is why an additional 10 feet have been requested. It can be looked at for
adjustment, but with no promises.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:48 a.m.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Mark Rousso,J&M Land Development, Inc, filed a request for an 8-lot Short 7lat.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non-Significance- Mitigated (DNS-M).
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. The subject site is located at 3715 NE 19th Street. The subject site is located south of NE 19th Street
and immediately west of Redmond Avenue NE if it were extended to the south. A single family home
and outbuildings were developed on the site.
6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single-family uses, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family- 8 dwelling units/acre).
8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4337 enacted in February 1991.
9. The subject site is approximately 3.85 acres or 167,622 square feet. The parcel is an "L" shaped lot that
is approximately 640 feet long(north to south) by approximately 328 feet wide at its wide:At and 190 feet
at its narrowest(frontage along NE 19th).
10. A 200-foot wide transmission power line corridor runs at a slight northwest to southeast diagonal along
the western half of the subject site. An Olympic gas pipeline is also located in that corridor.
11. A tributary of Honey Creek runs at an east to west diagonal across the southeast corner of the site.
Slopes in the area of the creek range from 35 to 40 percent and extend to the north and northwest. The
topography in the northeast portion of the site is more gentle and is the area where the applicant
proposes developing the plat. The steeper slopes would be set aside and protected as sensitive areas in
proposed Tract A.
12. With the exception of the protected areas of Tract A, all vegetation would be removed from the site to
allow the development of the road, access and lots.
13. A new north-south road would run south along the western edge of the subject site. It would enter from
NE 19th Street and end in a cul-de-sac. The road would provide access to the interior lots. Staff noted
that the applicant would have to dedicate 10 feet of property to permit the widening of NE 19th Street.
The current plans only show a 6-foot dedication.

14. The applicant proposes dividing the non-critical acreage and the acreage not encumbered by the large
power line or gas pipeline into eight(8)single family lots. Proposed Lots 1,2 and 3 would be located
along NE 19th Street with Proposed Lot 3 a corner lot. Proposed Lots 4 and 6 through 8 would front
directly along the new north-south street. Proposed Lot 5 would be a pipestem located to the rear or east
of Proposed Lot 4. A small portion at the southwest corner of Proposed Lot 8 would be crossed by the
power line easement and the subject site's drainage easement. Staff recommended that Proposed Lots 4
and 5 be reduced to allow the four(4)additional feet needed for the 19th Street dedication.
15. Tract A, the steep slope, sensitive area,at approximately 88,020 square feet,accounts for almost half of
the square footage of the subject site. It would dominate the south and southeast corner of the subject
site.
16. Tract B would serve to hold the stormwater detention pond. It would be located in the west central area
of the site and would lie within the power line transmission corridor.
17. The density for the plat would be 5.4 dwelling units per acre after subtracting sensitive areas(steep
slopes)and roadways.
18. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately 3 to 4 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and would
be assigned on a space available basis.
19. The development will increase traffic by approximately 10 trips per unit or approximately 70 trips for
the 7 new single-family homes (an existing home would have generated 10 trips). Approximately ten
percent of the trips. or approximately 7 additional peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and
evening.
20. As noted, stormwater would be contained on Tract B. It would drain into the tributary creek by a
"driscopipe"that would be placed across the steep slope to offer the least disturbance of that slope. The
water's energy would be dissipated as it entered the stream to prevent erosion or scouring at the creek.
21. Staff has recommended that the detention system be screened with landscaping and fencing. They also
recommended that the entire western perimeter be fenced. Staff also recommended that two trees be
planted in each lot to restore the aesthetics of the subject site.
22. The subject site is served by City water and sewer.
23. The southwesterly neighbor was concerned about screening and fencing but accepted staffs
recommendation.
24. The applicant suggested that a narrower road section or smaller dedication might help with its lot layout.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed short plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The applicant has made provision
to protect the sensitive areas on the subject site, actually, half the acreage. The development also works
around not only those sensitive areas but the constraints imposed by the large power line and gas line
easements that are also located on the subject site.

2. The development will create additional lots in an area with urban water and sewer services. The
development will also increase the tax base of the site and help achieve the City's housing objectives by
increasing housing opportunities in the City.
3. The site's sensitive south slopes and creek will be protected and stormwater controls will help prevent
erosion and scouring of the creek. The detention system should be screened both in terms of the new
lots near it and for the adjacent properties south and west of it. Staffs recommendations on fencing and
landscaping appear appropriate.
4. The applicant will have to dedicate property to allow the widening of NE 19th Street as well as the new
north-south right-of-way. The applicant may seek changes to the dedication which staff in its sole
discretion may determine appropriate or not. The lots may be shifted or shortened as necessary to
provide sufficient room for the dedication but all lots must meet the required lot dimensions.
5. While the steeper slopes are being protected, the new lots should provide some internal landscaping as
suggested by staff to help avoid the raw appearance that will be caused by clearing and grading the
entire site.
6. It appears that given the constraints found on and around the subject site that the proposed short plat is
an appropriate method of redeveloping the subject site.
DECISION:
The short plat for eight(8) lots is approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall comply with the conditions imposed by the ERC.
2. The applicant shall present all dedications of property to the City Council. The applicant shall dedicate
property to allow the widening of NE 19th Street as well as the new north-south right-of-way. The
applicant may seek changes to street widths which staff in its sole discretion may determine appropriate
or not.
3. The lots may be shifted or shortened as necessary to provide sufficient room for the dedication but all
lots must meet the required lot dimensions.
4. The applicant shall obtain a demolition permit and complete all necessary inspections and approvals for
the removal of all buildings on the site prior to recording of the short plat. The satisfaction of this
requirement is subject to the review and approval of Development Services.
5. A maintenance agreement shall be created concurrently with the recording of the short plat in order to
establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. The agreement shall be placed on
the face of the final short plat prior to recording.
6. A six-foot high solid fence (no chain link with slats)shall be installed along the entire west property line
of the proposed short plat. All fencing shall be located and designed to not interfere with sight distances
required at intersections and driveways. The fence shall be installed prior to recording the short plat.
The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of Development Services.
7. The applicant shall be required to plant two new approved trees within the 20-foot front yard setback
area of all lots within the short plat. The applicant shall be required to record a restrictive covenant

January 20, 2005
Page 7
against the property prior to final short plat recording, which indicates that two trees are required to be
planted within the front yard setback area of each new lot. This condition shall be subject to the review
and approval of the Development Services Division and the trees shall be planted prior to final building
permit inspection.
8. Tract B(storm drainage)shall be fenced along its perimeter. The portions of the tract that abut Lot 8,
the existing parcel to the north and third party property to the west, shall include a landscaped visual
barrier with plant materials that would provide a year-round dense screen within three(3)years from the
time of planting. All fencing shall be located and designed to not interfere with sight distances required
at intersections and driveways. The applicant shall submit a landscape plan and fence design to the
City's Development Services Division for review and approval prior to installation. All fences and
landscaping shall be installed prior to recording of the final short plat.

the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.

SUBJECT: Renton Visitors Connection Funding
Issue:
Should the City Council allocate Lodging Tax revenues to the Renton Visitors Connection
for tourism promotion?
Recommendation:
Recognize the successes of Renton Visitors Connection's tourism promotional efforts and
fund the program's eighth full year of operation by allocating $119,500 in Lodging Tax
collections to that end and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to signs contracts with the
Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce for management of the campaign.
Background:
In 1999, the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce received Lodging Tax revenues for
promotion of tourism-related activities in Renton. The Renton Lodging Association was
born out of this effort. As a committee of the Chamber of Commerce, its membership is
made up of 10 Renton hotels. By partnering together and pooling resources through this
promotional effort, the Association has been able to enjoy additional successes. The Renton
Lodging Association has put together successful promotional events by targeting and
marketing to IKEA shoppers who come to Renton from the Portland-area, Eastern
Washington residents coming over for Seattle Mariner and Seahawk games, and corporate
representatives that book hotel rooms for their clients and employees. In 2003, the group
changed its name to Renton Visitors Connection (RVC).
Under the leadership of Chamber CEO Bill Taylor, the RVC is proposing an impressive set
of initiatives for its 2006 Renton Visitors Connection tourism promotion campaign. The
specifics of the Campaign are attached. It is budgeted at $119,500.

TO: Randy Corman, President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: ;16' Kathy Keolker, Mayor
FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator(x 6592) K
SUBJECT: Renton Community Marketing Campaign
Issue:
The Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has recommended that the Renton City
Council allocate funds for activities proposed by the Renton Community Marketing
Campaign.
Recommendations:
• Authorize the Mayor to sign contracts with Hamilton/Saunderson, marketing consultants,
for the efforts of the Renton Community Marketing Campaign in 2006.
• Partner with other key community stakeholders for a eighth year of the Renton
Community Marketing Campaign by allocating$62,500 of Hotel/Motel Tax collections
to its use. This allocation will be leveraged with additional financial contributions from
the Economic Development, Neighborhoods, & Strategic Planning Department's
"business recruitment"budget and other community agencies, organizations and
businesses.
• Authorize a "one-time" expenditure of up to an additional $50,000 to produce a Renton
marketing video, a contract for which will be executed separately after a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) process to determine an appropriate vendor.
Background:
In 1998, the Renton City Council authorized the City's participation in the Renton
Community Marketing Campaign in conjunction with other key community stakeholders.
The goal was to leverage marketing dollars in the community, by collectively promoting
Renton as an outstanding place to work, live, learn, shop, visit, and have fun. Stakeholders,
in addition to the City, include: the Renton School District, Renton Technical College,
January 5,2004
Page 2
Valley Medical Center, the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, and the Renton hotel
industry.
The Renton Community Marketing Campaign goals tie directly to the City's Business Plan
objectives and focus on promoting a consistent identity that builds on the appeal of Renton's
residential, educational, and business opportunities. The first seven years of the campaign
have been a tremendous success in both the Renton community and the Greater Puget Sound
Region. Our branding slogan: "Renton. Ahead of the Curve," and using "We Chose
Renton"testimonials to convey our message have been effective. In its eighth year, the
Campaign will carry on this theme with advertisements speaking to why Renton is "The
Right Choice" for business, education, healthcare, tourism, etc. The bottom line: people are
choosing Renton as a great location to open or relocate a business, buy a house, and educate
young children.
Stakeholders have overwhelmingly agreed that this kind of comprehensive community effort
has been very successful. They have all committed to participate in a continuation of the
Renton Community Marketing Campaign.
The Campaign's proposed activities are described in the attached 2006 Renton Community
Marketing Campaign Action Plan. In addition to these traditional ongoing marketing efforts,
the Campaign proposes to produce a high-quality marketing video that showcases the great
reasons to live, work and play in Renton. The Stakeholders believe this will be an exciting
tool that will help each of them in recruiting employees, customers and students, in addition
to attracting businesses to the community. There is a large unallocated fund balance of more
than $250,000 in the Lodging Tax Fund (Fund 110). The Campaign proposes to use up to
$50,000 of this to fund this one-time project. A Request For Qualifications will be
submitted in the coming year to select a qualified video production firm and the project will
be separately contracted.
The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met on December 21, 2005, to review these
proposals and recommends that the City Council authorize the allocation of$62,500 of
lodging tax revenue to the Community Marketing Campaign for its 2006 community
marketing efforts and up to $50,000 in a one-time allocation of unspent fund balance to
produce a Renton marketing video.

"Indeed, city boosters point with pride to the miles of walking trails along the Cedar
River, they cheer the ambitious renovation of the city core, and they point to Gene
Coulon Memorial Beach Park. They mention that taxes are low, schools are being
aggressively refurbished and business is growing." - Seattle Times
The city a/so has adjusted its regulations to "not only protect the future of the city but
also provide predictability and reasonableness that developers are able to work with.' -
Puget Sound Business Journal
"If you really want to see customer service, you need to go to Renton. It's like going to
Nordstrom,"said Rep. Rodney Tom from the 48th District.
"Renton has been revising its codes, reorganizing and retaining its staff and rethinking
its approach to one that guides development rather than just regulating it... This may
now be Renton's time in the sun."The Seattle Times
"A new ad campaign launched by the city heralds, Renton -Ahead of the Curve, one of
those slogans that can mean anything. But look at the details and it's easy to be high
on Renton."- The Seattle Times
"Renton...(has) evidenced a good understanding that the time may be right to try to
attract new and existing high-tech companies to look south. Renton in particular, with
its "ahead of the curve"campaign, has probably planted the seeds of second thoughts in
the minds of some of those tech-company decision makers"- Puget Sound Business

Dear Mr. Pietsch
This letter sets forth the description of services to be rendered by Van Ness
Feldman, P.C. ("Van Ness Feldman"or the "Finn") for the City of Renton(the"City")
concerning federal legislation and federal programs and policies.
Scope of Work
This agreement is intended to detail the terms of legal and legislative work to be
completed by Van Ness Feldman for the City. Van Ness Feldman will provide counsel to
the City to assist it to:
• Assist the City in the development of a federal legislative agenda.
• Manage day to day relationships in Washington, D.C. with Washington
congressional delegation and staff. This will include office visits, phone
calls, and various meetings as may be required from time to time.
• Assist the City in drafting letters and other communications documents to
execute its federal funding strategy.
• Coordinate City material submissions to relevant Congressional
committees.
• Attend Congressional committee hearings and markups. Follow all
relevant congressional proceedings important to the City's federal agenda.
• Coordinate visits to Washington, D.C. by City officials for meetings with
the delegation and staff.
1
• Advise and assist with events in Renton targeted at the Congressional
delegation including staff and member visits, speeches, media events, etc.
• Consult with City officials on a regular basis,provide written reports on
an agreed upon schedule and as warranted by new developments.
The Firm also agrees to provide such additional legal counsel and professional
services as may be requested and mutually agreed upon.
Review of Other Representation
The Finn seeks to be vigilant in identifying and raising with its clients potential
conflicts of interest as they may develop during the course of the representation. As we
take on new clients and new tasks for existing clients, including the City, we will
examine whether the representations could lead to potential conflicts in substantially
related matters. If such issues are identified, we will promptly consult with the City for
the purpose of reasonably resolving the potential conflict.
The Firm represents a number of other clients on issues related to environmental,
transportation and energy matters and selected municipal federal issues. Our preliminary
internal review has not yet identified any conflicts of interest and we do not reasonably
foresee any at this time. However, a thorough conflict check will be undertaken and
necessary waivers, if any are needed, will be submitted to the City and the other client(s)
before proceeding. By agreeing to the terms of this letter, the City agrees that Van Ness
Feldman's representation of the City in the matters identified in the scope of work above,
and not prevent the Firm from representing any present or future client, including
representation in any other legal or legislative matter, so long as such matters are not the
same as, or substantially related to, the Firm's work on behalf of the City in the above-
described matter.
The Firm carefully protects the confidences of its clients. Pursuant to Rule 1.6 of
the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct, and Rule 1.6 of the Washington
State Rules of Professional Conduct, the Firm may not reveal client confidences or use
such confidences for the benefit of a third party without consent of the client.
Budget and Fees
In consideration for Van Ness Feldman's services outlined in this letter, the City
will pay a monthly retainer of$5,000 per month beginning November 1, 2005. Although
I will have primary responsibility for this representation, other attorneys or legislative
professionals in our firm, including Rick Agnew and Curt Rich, will assist the effort and
provide counsel on occasion. Additionally, the firm requires reimbursement for taxi
fares, meals with Congressional staff and travel (if necessary and with your prior
approval) that are incurred in the course of representation.
The Firm will notify the City of the conclusion of this matter. It is agreed that
after the close of this matter, the Firm will offer to return the files related to these matters
to the City. If the Firm does not receive instructions as to the disposition of these files,
2
the Firm will retain the files for three(3) years from the close of the matter, after which it
reserves the right to destroy all such materials that do not have intrinsic value.
If the terms of this agreement are satisfactory to you,please indicate your
acceptance below and return a signed copy of this letter to our office. The original is for
your files.
We look forward to working with the City on this effort.
Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The ten-year operating agreement between Renton and King Co. Fire District#25 began January
1, 1996. In order to continue the current relationship, an addendum has been prepared extending
the term of this agreement through 2007. At the outset,both parties expected that virtually all of
the District's jurisdiction would have been annexed into Renton by the end of ten years. Staff
now expects that it will be five to six more years before the District's jurisdiction reduces to a
size that makes sense to dissolve FD 25. (If a single future annexation action removes 60%or
more of the District's assessed valuation, State law calls for residents of the District to vote
whether to purchase their fire services directly from the City.)
The addendum that City staff and FD 25 Commissioners have negotiated extends the current
agreement for another two years, retaining payment of$1.25 per$1,000 of the District's assessed
valuation, for a total 2006 revenue of approximately$1.35 million.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a contract addendum with King County Fire Protection District No. 25 to extend the term
for an additional two years (through 2007), and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the
addendum.

TO: Randy Corman, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: v Kathy Keolker, Mayor
FROM: Lee Wheeler, Fire Chief
STAFF CONTACT: Linda Herzog, Interim Asst. to the CAO
SUBJECT: Extension of City's contract with Fire District 25
ISSUE:
Should the City of Renton extend its agreement with King County Fire Protection
District#25 to provide Fire and Emergency Response services to the District, and
accept payment of$1.25 per thousand dollars of the District's assessed valuation
along with the District's share of the King County EMS levy?
BACKGROUND:
The ten year operating agreement with King Co. Fire District#25 began January 1,
1996. At the time the agreement was negotiated, both the City and the Fire District
expected that the District's entire jurisdiction was likely to be annexed within that 10-
year period, by the end of 2005. Although virtually all of the District lies within
Renton's potential annexation area, approximately 4.9 square miles still remain
unincorporated. (See map attached as Exhibit#1.) Staff estimate that it will be five
to six more years before annexation reduces FD 25's jurisdiction to the point where
the District can be dissolved. (According to State law, when a single annexation
removes sixty percent or more of the District's AV,the District may elect, by a
majority vote of those remaining in the unincorporated area, to require the City to
assume responsibility for their fire protection, for payment of a"reasonable fee.")
City staff and FD 25 Commissioners have negotiated an amendment to the existing
contract which extends the agreement for another two years, through the end of 2007.
During this additional two-year period, the District will continue to pay the City
$1.25 per thousand dollars of the District's assessed valuation, as it has for the past
ten years. Based on a current District AV of$1,085,814,974, approximately $1.35
million is expected to be paid to the City in 2006. In future years, as additional areas
of the District are annexed, these areas will become part of the City's tax base, and
revenue from the District will adjust accordingly.

Addressee Name
Page 2 of 2
Date of Memo
The proportion which Fire District 25's assessed valuation bears to the total AV of
both the District and the City is 13.16%. Using the budgeted cost of Renton's overall
fire service (covering both the City and the District), and crediting the district for its
share of EMS levy revenue and the remaining 10%value of Fire Station 16 that the
District still holds, the District's proportionate cost is calculated at $1.58 million.
This is somewhat higher than the revenue expected under this contract. (See
Proportionate Distribution of Annual Fire Service Costs, attached as Exhibit#2.)
Since the inception of the contractual arrangement between the City and District 25,
the payment for services has been $1.25 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Over the
past ten years, the District has additionally purchased two pumper trucks and an aid
car, has ceded ownership of 90% of Station 16 to Renton, and has paid for substantial
improvements to Station 16. Although the cash payment to the City has been less
than the calculated cost of service at City of Renton levels, these additional
contributions and the economies of scale realized by the City have been deemed
sufficient compensation to make up the difference. Further, the location of the
District's Fire Station 16 is especially beneficial to the City in that it enables the Fire
Department to maintain an excellent response time both within the District and to
residents of East Renton.
In 2005 Hospital District#1 voted an operating levy of 59 cents per thousand AV.
District Commissioners publicly supported the levy, understanding that their
constituents would be taxed this additional amount, but intending to reduce the Fire
District levy in like amount. The Commissioners maintained this commitment by
reducing the Fire District levy from the historical $1.50 per thousand to $1.25 per
thousand beginning in 2006. All of the 2006 levy collections will be passed through
to the City of Renton under the terms of this contract.
If, as expected, substantial portions of the District remain unincorporated by the end
of 2007, either the District(by ballot measure) will vote to require Renton to provide
its fire and emergency medical services, or an additional contract extension will need
to be negotiated. The current contract holds that all remaining District assets,
liabilities and future liabilities will be transferred to the City at the end of the contract
period. (As noted above, this contractual obligation is consistent with State rules for
dissolution of a fire district.) If and when the City and the District engage in
negotiations for another contract extension, the City should be cognizant of the
District's LEOFF I medical care liability estimated at about $700,000—the
actuarially-determined lifetime cost of uninsured medical expenses for three
firefighters retired from the District before 1996. At present, the District maintains a
cash reserve account sufficient to cover a portion of this liability.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council approve this contract addendum (attached as Exhibit
#3), and authorize the Mayor to sign on behalf of the City.

Proportionate Distribution of Annual Fire Service Costs
actual cost of service to FD 25
2006 Assessed Valuations
• City of Renton $7,163,861,699
• FD 25 $1,085,814,974 (13.16190945%)
• Total $8,249,676,673 (100%)
Fire Service Costs for 2006
Proposed Budget/ expenditures $14,077,294 1
Add training division secretary (see also credit below) 62,100
Add installation of fiber optic line to FS 16 (amortized over 3 yrs) 6,667
Add lease cost of line from Sta. 16 to KC I-NET ($350/mo) 4,200
Add major maintenance expenses (all fire stations) 70,000 2
Subtract fire prevention (not provided to District) (1,028,150)
EMS levy (revenue received for both City&District) (476,482)
Total fire service expenditure to be allocated $12,718,962
FD 25 proportionate share
Total cost x FD 25 share ($x.1316190945 $ 1,674,058
Credit services of District Admin. Secretary (62,100)
Credit remaining 10% of FS 16 value amortized over 2-yr agreement 3 (50,000)4
Actual cost of service to FD 25 $ 1,558,958 5
Cost per $1,000 AV $1.44
LEOFF I Liability
Current liability for lifetime LEOFF I medical benefits covering three FD 25
retirees has been calculated at $727,190. Assuming a three-year agreement,
with FD 25 paying the estimated costs incurred mid-2005 to mid-2008, the City's
remaining liability = approx. $630,000. As above, Renton needs secure funding
of that liability in order not to burden City taxpayers with District-generated costs.
1 No indirect costs (of services from other City departments such as Finance and Human
Resources) are included in this Department budget figure.
2 Estimate based on projected cost of Station 16 maintenance ($14,000/yr) x 5 stations.
3 A 2-year extension of the FD 25/City agreement is assumed.
4 Over the past 10-year agreement, 90% of FS 16 ownership has been transferred to the City
(approx asset value = $1 million). Additionally, two pumper trucks and an aid car have been
purchased by the District. Total value of these assets equals $1,900,000 to $2,100,000. This
asset value is considered an appropriate credit against the un-reimbursed fire service
expenditures over the past 10 year period. The remaining 10%value of the fire station is applied
here.
5 FD proportionate share net of District Admin Sec'y(who serves Fire Dept as its training division
secretary)and the capital asset contribution (remainder of FS 16) = $1,578,187. With AV of
$1,085,814,974 a levy of$1.4535 would be required.
Exhibit #3
ADDENDUM TO
AGREEMENT FOR FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE AND
JOINT OPERATION OF FACILITIES
This Addendum is entered into between the CITY OF RENTON, a municipal corporation
referred to as"City," and KING COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NO. 25, a municipal
corporation referred to as "District," to amend the Agreement For Fire And Emergency
Medical Service And Joint Operation Of Facilities dated August 8, 1995.
The Agreement provided for certain provisions to be automatically effective on January
1, 2006. Because of legislative changes to certain statutes and other factors, it is
necessary to revise specific provisions of the Agreement.
Paragraph 1.17 of the Agreement provides for modification by agreement of the parties.
To provide the needed changes, the parties agree as follows:
1. The August 8, 1995 Agreement provided, in paragraphs 1.1, 1.2, 1.8 and 1.13,
for automatic changes to occur ten years after date of the Agreement. The
reference to ten years is changed to twelve years.
2. Paragraph 1.2 provides that at the end or ten years (twelve years as modified
herein) the property taxes collected by the District and paid to the City will
change to reflect the amount the District can currently collect without an
employee. This provision shall be modified as follows: At the end of twelve
years the property taxes collected by the District and paid to the City shall be
established by the District at a rate sufficient to continue providing the same
level of services to the District.
3. Paragraph 1.13 relates to the then statutory requirement that a fire district had
/ to have at leas4 one full time, full paid employee to qualify for the full $1.50
' per thousand dollars of assessed valuation property tax levy. The statute has
been amended to now require only that the fire district contract for the
services of one full time, full paid employee. Since the District meets the
requirement, the references to this requirement in the Agreement are omitted.
4. Paragraph 1.14 refers to the 106%Lid Lift. That reference is change to 101%
Lid Lift.

The remaining provisions of the August 8, 1995 Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Susan Fiala, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The site is located in the eastern
portion of the City of Renton. The site is to the north of NE 4th Street and to the west of Hoquiam Ave NE. The
city limits are the northern boundary property line of the subject site, which is zoned R-8. The site to the north,
which is in King County, is called the Hoquiam Annexation and is currently being processed. To the west of the
site is Blueberry Place, zoned R-14 and are townhomes, to the south of the site is the Windsong single family
subdivision.
The site is 8.3 acres, 51 lots and two tracts. Tract A is a storm drainage tract located in the southwest portion of
the site. The site slopes to the southwest at a 7% grade at that point. Tract B is a narrow strip of land along
Road B, a loop street system within the plat. The site will be accessed primarily from Hoquiam Avenue NE,
(labeled as Road A)as well as NE 6"' Street(Road C on the north part of the plat)which will also gain access to
Hoquiam Avenue NE. There is no connection currently to Duvall Avenue,west of the plat,NE 6th Street would
be stubbed with 20-feet of pavement and sidewalk to Duvall Avenue NE.
The Examiner stated that there was an issue with the extension of NE 6th Street. He inquired as to how the road
connected, if it was a public road.
Ms. Fiala stated that there is an existing public right-of-way for NE 6th Street, which goes to the western
boundary of this site. That is 30-feet of dedicated right-of-way to the City, making it public access all the way
through.
The Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance—Mitigated (DNS-M)with
five mitigation measures. No appeals were filed.

The site does comply with the land use and community design elements of the Comprehensive Plan Criteria.
The proposed net density of 7.9 dwelling units per acre does comply with the land use requirement;,of the R-8
zone. A conceptual landscape plan for all of the non-arterial streets within the plan, and along Hoquiam Avenue
NE, will be required as a condition of preliminary plat approval. All lots comply with lot dimension
requirements. Setbacks were shown on the plat plan and all lots appear to comply with the setback
requirements. These standards will be verified prior to the issuance of individual building permits.
Eight single-family residences and several outbuildings exist on the site. The house on new Lot 51 will remain
within the plat and the remaining seven residences, sheds and garages will be removed/demolished to
accommodate the plat.
There were a couple of issues relating to NE 6'J' Street, first the continuation and connection to Hoquiam Avenue
NE. The property to the north is currently in King County but undergoing the annexation process. The applicant
has provided a letter from the property owner that they would, until such time as the annex, grant an easement to
this portion of the road and when the annexation is completed, it would be dedicated to the City. This would be
half street improvements for 35-feet of right-of-way with 28 feet of pavement. The portion that is in King
County is approximately 30-feet in width.
The issue with the extension of NE 6th Street to the west, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the
road be extended to Duvall with 20-feet of pavement and a pedestrian sidewalk.
A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement will be established for all common improvements
including those relating to access easement, utility easements, and sensitive area tracts.
Traffic, Fire and Park Mitigation Fees have been imposed on the project.
The site is located within the Renton School District and they have indicated that they would be able to handle
the additional students.
The storm drainage tract(Tract A) is located in the southwest portion of the site. It is required to be designed to
Level 2 flow Control and Basic Water Quality. Core Design were the original engineers for the Blueberry Place
development and have confirmed that the proposed utility extensions were anticipated in the original design of
the utilities that serve Blueberry Place and were designed to receive flows from the upstream project when it
was developed.
The proposed development is within the water service area of Water District 90. The applicant has not
submitted a Certificate of Water Availability with the land use application. Existing and new hydrants are
required to be retrofitted with Storz"quick disconnect" fittings.
The existing sanitary sewer is physically located on Blueberry Place and is a City of Renton sanitary sewer
main. It is owned, operated and maintained by the City. The sewer main is located in a 15-foot sanitary sewer
easement. Individual side sewers will be required to be installed to serve the new lots.
Michael Chen, Core Design Inc., 14711 NE 29th Place, #101, Bellevue, WA 98007 stated that he is the planner
for the project and they concur with staff recommendations with the exception of No. 3, regarding the NE 6th
extension. First the environmental constraints that are present on-site just to the west and other reasons which
the applicant representatives will testify to later on.
Jim Hansen, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane, Mount Vernon, WA 98274 stated that he is a planning consultant
working with the applicant and as far as the NE 6th extension to Duvall Ave, the City has had a requirement for
Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-05-055, ECF, PP
July 26, 2005
Page 4
many years to improve public right-of-way adjacent to development. When Blueberry Place was developed
only a very small portion of NE 6th Street was developed as part of that plat. When the apartment complex to
the north of Blueberry Place was developed the City did not require them to extend NE 6th as would have been
appropriate at that time. In the preliminary plat and site approval for the Blueberry Place townhomes, the
Examiner's findings and conclusions stated that the topography and wetland features defeat the creation of a
street grid system. At the intersection of Duvall Avenue and NE 6th there was a wetland that runs north/south
along Duvall, Blueberry Place crossed that wetland with a very narrow city street improvement,they did not
complete a full street section. The apartments to the north abut this right-of-way and they were not required by
the City to put in any street improvements along the NE 6`''right-of-way.
Blueberry Place was not required to extend NE 6th to the east property line because at the far east end there is a
slope that is approximately 28%. it would seem appropriate that if Blueberry Place was not required to install
NE 6th because of these features,then this project should not be expected to extend the road at this time.
Joel Paisner, AterWynne LLP, Attorneys at Law, 601 Union Street, Ste. 5450, Seattle, WA 98101 stated that
they had submitted a letter to the Examiner via fax. It appears that the Examiner has seen the letter, as well,as
copy was presented to Ms. Fiala this morning.
The Examiner stated that a modification has been requested and an appeal period established back in February
and no one seems to have followed up on appealing the denial of the modification for the extensions of NE 6th.
Raising it now,takes people slightly off guard,the land use is before us today and it seems that staff may not
have had an opportunity to review the letter.
Mr. Paisner confirmed that they had had discussions with staff regarding this issue in the last week. There was
an appeal filed in this matter by the applicant, it was, however, one day late. It was not timely filed, but what he
would like to focus on is this condition that he was led to believe was not imposed pursuant to the environmental
review and DNS-M that was issued, rather was placed there as part of a plat condition. The applicant has been
concerned about this off-site requirement throughout the project given the cost of it,the case law and code
provide strong legal basis for rejecting this requirement on the development.
There is a policy in the staff report that states that new streets should be designed to provide convenient access
and a choice of roads between homes and parks, schools, shopping and other community destinations. There is
a desire by the City to increase connectivity between Hoquiam and Duvall, however,that connectivity is being
pursued and provided by a cross street at NE 10"',that discussion is also on the record before the Examiner.
There is a letter submitted by Core Design to Kayren Kittrick, in it the engineers of record for the applicant have
requested that this condition for off-site improvements to NE 6th be deleted. In the staff report it furtLer stated
that it is firmly believed that the road is desirable and required at this location to serve the residents in the
vicinity as well as provide further access for emergency services.
What is the basis in fact for requiring this development to complete and construct a roadway that does not serve
this development? This development has been required to obtain further right-of-way that abuts it to the north
and the applicant has done that to provide access. There is access within the plat directly to Hoquiam Avenue,
there is no question about emergency access, there is sufficient access to this development.
The City needs to show that there is an impact caused by this development, that the mitigation required of the
developer is proportional to that impact. If there is no impact and there is nothing in the record before the
Examiner for that impact, then there cannot be a basis to impose this expensive fix on the developer. The
applicant is already paying impact fees and without more proof, there is no reason for the developer to incur
further costs in improving an off-site roadway.

Gerald Stump, 28609 SE 258th Street, Ravensdale, WA 98051 stated that he is one of the partners in the Langley
Development Group and regarding the water availability, he has spoken to the Water District Manager and the
letter of water availability will be available today or tomorrow morning. They are currently replacing all the
water mains on Hoquiam as part of the project before the Examiner today.
Kay Haynes, 551 Elma Place NE, Renton 98059 stated that she is the President of the Blueberry Place
Homeowners Association. The NE 6th Street is their primary concern, however, there are a couple other issues
she brought forward.
The ERC when reviewing Honey Brooke West development failed to take into consideration that a community
that lies in its path would be severely impacted if all that is being proposed is approved. The objections concern
the loss of the mature firs that frame and define Blueberry Place,the option to attach a sewer line on homeowner
property within the complex, and most importantly extending their entrance on NE 6th Street to connect to
Hoquiam Avenue NE.
The developer is proposing to clear the plat of all vegetation including all of the firs. Under the Consistency
with Preliminary Plat Criteria in the Staff Report there is a policy that states that existing mature vegetation and
distinctive trees should be retained and protected in developments. Blueberry residents request that as many firs
as possible be saved and if the trees are left in groupings and not singles,there is no danger of them being
weakened. There are also concerns over property values with the loss of these trees, as well the loss of privacy
and drainage issues because of the development. They would like to see tall attractive fencing along the entire
property line and steps taken to ensure that hillsides are protected from the possibility of landslides due to loss
of root structure from any tree removal.
As to the sewer line, Mr. Foster indicated that sewer lines would only be on the Honey Brooke West side, there
was never any mention of coming into Blueberry Place to connect the sewer line. This option is unacceptable
and unnecessary.
And finally, the most serious concern, the NE 6th Street extension; the plan to extend NE 6th will have the
greatest effect on the Blueberry Place development. The City in its determination to connect the drive has failed
to consider many factors. They question whether any studies have been done to determine the feasibility, cost
and necessity for extending the drive and what the impact would be to Blueberry Place residents during
construction.
NE 6th is a dead end for Blueberry Place, it is a gated community and there is no other entrance or exit. If NE 6"'
is extended it will be an access not only for Honey Brooke but for everyone along Hoquiam and all the side
streets feeding into it. Traffic will only increase as the area grows. Stop signs would need to be installed at the
entrance for the safety of Blueberry Place residents. Two quick and easy accesses from Hoquiam to Duvall
already exist; one via NE 121st Street and NE 118"' Street goes all the way to Duvall. There also would be a lot
of construction noise and traffic using that road and it would be totally unnecessary to extend NE 6th
.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services Division stated that there is an existing easement for the sewer to the
City of Renton for both water and sewer at the west end towards Duvall and sewer on the east end by the cul-de-
sac in the center of Blueberry Place. It was placed with the desire to be able to extend it into future
developments. There is a line existing in the easement and it goes all the way to the property line of Honey
Brooke West. Hoquiam may be able to serve the site as well, it will depend on the physical constraints that are
current with these things. There is a current cleanout that will have to be taken out and replaced with a manhole
placed on the property. Construction work required in the easement would be put back as good or better than
before.

Honey Brooke West drainage will have their own detention pond designed to keep the water to pre-construction
levels, it is required to drain and feed the wetland on the west side of Blueberry Place and continue south along
Duvall.
The water availability letter will be in today.
Originally when she received the request for modification the original discussions were about the possibility, she
was of the opinion that NE 6th would be difficult to put through and there had not been much interest in putting
it through. NE 6th is dedicated across the grid, King County has had it,the lip that comes up at Hoquiam is that
way to match a 6th that is across the street. It is currently under annexation at this time and it is expected to
come in all at the same time.
In 1997 when Blueberry' Place went in, there was a property owner in the back corner that did not want a road to
go through in any manner because of the same discussions the Blueberry Place homeowners have put forward.
He did not want a back access to his property that might allow dumping or graffiti or just general partying on the
back portion of his property. It was going to be of exceeding cost to try to put a road through there when it was
over to King County. At that time it was steep and to no purpose, and that was what was presented to the
Hearing Examiner.
For this particular site it was considered to just bringing it down to a pedestrian access only so that there would
be access to Duvall and the bus services. When that went through Fire and Police, it was very strongly opposed
because of the distance they would have to go to go around if 4`h and Hoquiam had an accident and something
occurred within this plat, they would have to go up to SE 1215t or 118t which is an additional thousand feet and
seven hundred feet requires a secondary access,as opposed to having a shorter response time via NE 6th. There
was no objection to it being 20 feet wide, which meets their minimum standard, it also meets the minimum
standard code. That is what this was based on. There is a fire service entrance to Blueberry Place at the south
end of the plat, it was constructed at the same time with the 30-foot wide easement that the City maintains at that
location.
It was known that something would go through on NE 6`h someday, it could have been another 10 years, it was
not known what the annexation process would be. Twenty feet wide will serve as it's own traffic calming
effect, there will be people that will find it, but it is not going to be as easily found or known as a main roadway.
The City generally does not require fencing between like uses, that is usually decided between the property
owners themselves. The trees will be closely looked at to make sure that the grading plans will not cause
unstable conditions and that the safety of all homeowners will not be compromised.
Stop signs for either side of the entrance to Blueberry Place would have to be studied and reviewed by the
Transportation Division as to whether it works, speed bumps are becoming a popular item to deter the casual
driver. The road must be built within the existing right-of-way, the City has no easement off of that 30-foot
right-of-way. That 20-foot road would have to build within the 30-foot easement.
George Townley, 580 Elma Place NE, Renton 98059 stated that he is a resident of Blueberry Place and that
regarding police and fire access,there are existing homes in the area and the accessibility for police and fire
would be the same after the new construction as it is currently.
Robert Haynes, 551 Elma Place NE, Renton 98059 stated that in looking at the photograph of 6`h NE, there is a
truck at the entrance to Blueberry Place, the person in the truck is pushing the button to open the gates. Twenty
feet is not wide enough, in fact, the actual measurement of the road is 19 feet 2 inches. There will be a back of
cars going through on NE 6th if someone is trying to enter Blueberry Place and waiting for the gates to open.

Mr. Paisner further stated that Core design shows on the plat map that there is an existing fence on the property,
that may answer some questions of the residents.
It does appear that the key issue seems to be the requirement for the applicant to construct a roadway off-site, it
feels like the City is tacking on this obligation to the development before you after the fact. When this plat was
originally submitted to the City it provided what the City at that point allowed adequate access, as well as
emergency access, to Hoquiam Avenue with the condition that certain roadway be dedicated upon annexation.
Now the City comes and says that the Fire and Police Departments really want this road, again looking at the
record, there was 110 traffic study requested.
The DNS was not appealed and the applicant strongly wants that condition deleted, but they also want the
Examiner to make a decision and not delay this matter any further. If they were anticipating this, the staff would
have put something before the Examiner that would have provided the basis for imposing the condition.
The Examiner asked why some of the trees along the west boundary could not be retained particularly if there
are slope issues and the properties down slope might be jeopardized or to the west of the site?
David Cayton, Core Design, 14711 NE 29th Place, #101, Bellevue, WA 98007 stated that this site has a 60-foot
drop from the NE corner to the SW corner. On the preliminary grading plan they do show grading two to one
slope to the rear of the lots down to the westerly neighbors at Blueberry Place. It appears that the applicant
would like to keep as many trees as possible, however,to get the road system in with the grading that is
necessary it is not going to be possible to keep all the trees.
The Examiner stated that the Comprehensive Plan suggests that natural features including topography and trees
be incorporated into plats and not everything be taken and turned into a ballpark or level playing field. Yet,we
still wind up with extensive grading particularly at the margins of sites which creates awkward interfaces.
Mr. Cayton stated that there are more and more of these projects as the lots are getting smaller and the value of
the land has increased. That land is too valuable to leave it open. It is developable land and they're only certain
parcels that can be developed to this density.
The Examiner stated that it is still possible to take advantage of the natural slope and build daylight basements
and change the design of the homes. Accommodate the homes to the land rather than the land to the homes.
Mr. Cayton stated that there is a market of homebuyers and if the developers can build daylight basements and
sell them, then they probably would do so. The trees are shown on the original grading and utility plan. The
existing slopes are not severe, but the grading in order to create a level pad to build a home on is created steeper
slopes on the plat.
Regarding the extension of 6`h'NE, there is about a 20-foot drop in the last hundred feet of that site, it is
substantial. Given the steepness of the road and the limited width of the right-of-way there would be retaining
walls approximately eight feet high on one side or the other that would be about 20-feet from existing
townhomes. There would also be an issue of stormwater coming from that road that would be unable to be
drained back into the pond so an additional storm water system would have to be constructed for that piece of
road.
Janine Mitchell, 4828 NE 5th Court, Renton, WA 98059 stated that her property is in the northeast corner of
Blueberry Place, there is a very steep hill with a fence at the top of her lot with the hill continuing upward.
There are a lot of trees and blackberry bushes in that area, even with the amount of foliage on that hillside,the
Amor.
Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-05-055, ECF, PP
July 26, 2005
Page 8
amount of water that comes down her side of the hill rather than going south into the drainage pond, is
substantial.
Mrs. Haynes further stated that it is very likely that with all that is going to go on with the removal of the trees
and the expansion of 6th Street that there is a likelihood of decreased property values. The area is in high
demand now, but who know what will happen with the construction.
Mrs. Haynes was also concerned that Ms. Kittrick was trying to minimize what the impact of that street would
be as far as people finding it. If the street was completely finished and opened up, it would be extremely easy
for anyone in the area to find and use. Honey Brooke West would certainly increase the use of the street. There
will be more developments built in the area, the traffic would increase with each new development. If there is
going to be only one way out, and additional traffic going back and forth, there need to be some safeguard for
ease of the Blueberry Place residents to get in and out of their development.
Jim Hansen, stated that Ms. Kittrick quoted a code section where a 20-foot minimum paving and sidewalk.
Hoquiam already meets that requirement and with the new developments there will be a walkway on Hoquiam.
He does not believe that the code intends that every possible connection from every plat has to be extended to an
arterial.
Kayren Kittrick stated that the Fire Marshal was adamant that 6th should be there. The grid stands unless staff
says otherwise, they must prove their case if it is not to go through. They are also required to comply with State
and Court enforced decisions about plat connections.
Mr. Paisner presented a July 28, 2004 memo between the Sr. Planner(Susan Fiala)and Jim Gray, Assistant Fire
Marshal, which was written as part of a pre-application process. The Fire Department comments were 1-4,
which had to do with a fire mitigation fee which should satisfy the City for all off-site improvements. These
conditions from the Assistant Fire Marshall should satisfy the Examiner's concerns.
Richard Nelson, 522 Elma Place NE, Renton, WA 98059 stated that his concern deals with the fact that he has
three tall pine trees in his back yard, and if all the trees behind him are ripped out, what effect is that going to
have on his trees on his property. Will it weaken them? Or will they remain stable?
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at approximately 11:12 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, C. Thomas Foster for the Langley Development Group, Inc., filed a request for a
Preliminary Plat.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC), the City's responsible official issued a Determination of
Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M).

4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. The subject site is located in the 500 to 600 blocks of Hoquiam Avenue NE. The subject site is located
on the west side of Hoquiam one block north of the major NE 4th Street arterial. Duvall Avenue NE is
located west of the subject site.
6. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single-family uses, but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan.
7. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family- 8 dwelling units/acre).
8. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4924 enacted in December
2001.
9. The subject site consists of ten underlying parcels. The total site is approximately 8.33 acres or 362,943
square feet. The subject site has regular or linear boundaries along the north, west and south but a
number of third party property shares the Hoquiam frontage with the subject site. The parcel is
approximately 633 feet deep(east to west) by approximately 656 feet wide. It has three doglegs out to
Hoquiam varying from 30 feet along its south margin to 42feet in the middle of the frontage.
10. An existing home located in the southeast corner of the subject site would be retained on what would be
Proposed Lot 51. Seven other existing homes and a variety of outbuildings would be removed if the
plat is approved.
11. The subject site slopes toward the southwest. The site has an overall slope of approximately seven
percent(7%). A drainage swale is located in the southwest corner but no critical areas are located on
site.
12. The applicant proposes removing all vegetation from the site to develop the roads,driveways and
building pads. Neighbors to the west suggested that the trees give the area a unique character and
provide a visual buffer. The neighbors are also concerned that if trees on the subject site were removed,
their trees would now be subject to buffeting winds and potential damage.
13. The applicant will be developing a series of roads to provide access to the new lots from Hoquiam. Two
east-west roads will be created including NE 6th Street along the north property line and a second road
near the center of the parcel. Both of these roads will connect to a loop road that will create an interior
block. NE 6th would run to the western edge of the plat. (see below for more on access)
14. The City has required the applicant to open NE 6th west of the site so that a through-connection to
Duvall Avenue is created. The connection is to be 20 feet wide with a pedestrian walk. There is a
dedicated public right-of-way between the western property line of the subject site and Duvall in the NE
6th alignment but a portion of it is unimproved. This unopened right-of-way runs along the east half of
the north margin of the Blueberry Place development. Residents there object to the opening of the
street. They have suggested that it would create too much traffic adjacent to their homes, remove trees,
interfere with turning movements to NE 6th from their private roadway and will require too much
grading. The applicant has proposed providing a pedestrian pathway to Duvall from the subject site.
15. The main portion of the plat will have lots aligned in a north to south direction with lots on the east and
west sides of the loop roadway. There will also be lots arranged east to west along the east to west
Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-05-055, ECF, PP
July 26, 2005
Page 10
roads that provide access from Hoquiam Avenue to the loop road. Proposed Lots 32, 33, 34, 36 and 37,
in the southeast corner of the plat, will take their access from a 26-foot wide private easement. A
separate dogleg to Hoquiam will provide access to Proposed Lot 35 while Proposed Lot 51 where the
existing home will be retained, will front directly along Hoquiam where it will take access.
16. The applicant has agreed to align its easterly end of NE 6th Street with the segment of NE 6th Street
east of Hoquiam. This alignment will require the cooperation of the owner of property north of the
subject site since the roadway will have to swing slightly north at it approaches Hoquiam. The property
north is located in unincorporated King County and is proposed for annexation. The applicant indicated
that the owner would dedicate the roadway alignment upon annexation. The City wants assurances that
the roadway will be a dedicated, public road developed in conjunction with the subject plat.
17. Staff noted that for drainage and other purposes, appropriate frontage improvements will be required
along Hoquiam including along frontage that is not owned by the applicant even if this would lead to
some discontinuous improvements.
18. The density for the plat would be 7.9 which is just shy of the 8 dwelling units per acre permitted in the
zone. This is the result of subtracting the public roadways(79,180 square feet)and the private
easements(3,559 square feet)from the total acreage.
19. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The project is expected to generate
approximately 22 or 23 school age children. These students would be spread across the grades and
would be assigned on a space available basis. The school district did note that Hazen High School is
nearing capacity and McKnight Middle School is at capacity.
20. The development will generate approximately 10 vehicle trips per unit or approximately 510 trips for
the 51 single-family homes. Approximately ten percent of the trips, or approximately 51 additional
peak hour trips will be generated in the morning and evening.
21. The applicant proposes grading the entire site and, as noted, removing all the vegetation. Neighbors
living west of the site are concerned that grading will affect the physical margins of their property as
well as the visual aspects. There is an existing fence along the western edge of the subject site.
22. Staff has recommended a gravity sewer for the site and it may be served along Hoquiam or to the west
through the Blueberry Place complex. Neighbors were concerned that a sewer line across Blueberry
Place might be used to serve the new plat. The line is there and is located in an easement to the City.
Restoration of landscaping would be required if access is needed and the existing landscaping is
disturbed. The easement was intended to be used as part of the storm water system (see below)as well
as the sanitary sewer system.
23. Stormwater would be directed to a combination detention and wet pond located in the southwest corner
of the plat in Tract A. It would have Level 2 Flow Control and basic water quality treatment. The pond
is designed for 97,386 cubic feet of live storage. It will then be conveyed to a catch basin in Blueberry
Place that was designed to handle water from upstream systems such as this one. It will recharge
wetlands on the west. Staff has recommended full screening with landscaping that will provide a dense
screen within 3 years. They also have recommended fencing around the perimeter in material other than
chainlink and a decorative entry gate along the road.
24. Water would be provided by Water District 90. The applicant has submitted a letter of availability
demonstrating that domestic water from the district can be provided.

The Unopened Segment of NE 6th Street West of the Subject Site
25. The applicant introduced testimony that in approving the original Orchards project, including the
Blueberry Place complex, the Hearing Examiner and the City Council found that a roadway extension of
NE 6th was not pursued due to topography and wetland issues. There was the following language in
that decision: "With this in mind, the applicant has proposed a private street system which is not entirely
in keeping with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan." (Page 19, The Orchards; LUA-96-
010). As that language notes, the proposed private road system was not in keeping with the
Comprehensive Plan in effect at that time. The current comprehensive plan still favors grid street
systems and new code requires a grid and special finding if a street grid is not established(Section 4-7-
150(E)). In 1996 staff was concerned that a deadend stub would become a dumping ground and that
there would be jurisdictional questions with the then adjoining King County boundary. In the ten years
since that decision was made, conditions have changed. The subject property is now within the City,
additional housing has been developed east of the subject site and NE 6th Street has been extended in a
grid pattern east of the subject site and Hoquiam, and the applicant proposes developing 51 homes
where 8 homes now stand. The Fire Department believes that the roadway extension west to Duvall is
warranted for emergency access.
26. It was noted that 20 feet of pavement would have traffic calming effects thereby slowing speeds.
Whether stop signs or other limits are necessary, at the Blueberry Place access roadway, would be
determined.
27. The applicant argues that the time to have sought the through access was when the property along its
frontage was developed, that is when Blueberry Place and an apartment complex to the north were
developed. The applicant maintains that the route is not necessary and imposing the costs associated
with creating a paved route on this current applicant would be inappropriate.
28. If the need for the access were one of life safety then requiring the access would be appropriate. If the
need for the access were less demanding, "it would be nice to have" in some circumstances, then the
City should bear the costs of creating it.
29. This office will take the tact that while the homeowners of Blueberry Place might find the access
objectionable, they themselves benefit every day from roads that pass by others' homes. The
community as a whole is better served by a grid system that allows both residents and emergency
services to find the quickest route or in emergency situations,the only route. Clearly, being located on a
through street creates impacts and other residents of a City bear those impacts to allow traffic to flow
freely. The western portion of NE 6th between Duvall and Blueberry Place is a public street. It is not a
private access roadway. The unopened portion of that right-of-way east of Blueberry Place to the
applicant's site is also publicly held. It may be opened if the City determines it is a necessary link in its
transportation grid and can provide efficient access to not only residents but especially for emergency
services such as police and fire.
30. It appears that the City did not anticipate the need for this through route when it recommended that it
not be created at the time Blueberry Place was platted. That was ten years ago. Blueberry Place had its
own emergency access and at that time the subject site was under King County's jurisdiction and
contained only eight, widely spaced, rural homes.
31. On January 13, 2005 the applicant sought a series of modifications to streets or proposed streets or to
improvements of those streets. Included in that submission was a request to modify a westerly
Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-05-055, ECF, PP
July 26, 2005
Page 12
extension of NE 6th Street from the subject site to Duvall Avenue NE. The applicant sought to
eliminate the vehicular portion and instead create a pedestrian link. A request was also submitted to
narrow that portion of NE 6th Street not coinciding with a new loop roadway. On January 28, 2005 the
modifications discussed above were denied. An appeal date was established if the decision on these and
the other modifications was found unsatisfactory. The applicant did not appeal the decision by the
administrator during the time period set out in the letter denying the appeal. The appeal process would
have been the preferred manner of attempting to reverse the decision regarding the westerly extension of
NE 6th Street. The fact is that raising it at the public hearing, without benefit of prior notice would not
provide the City an opportunity to counter the arguments. The applicant did not appeal the denial in a
timely fashion nor raise it in an appropriate manner. Be that as it may, it appears that the City has
determined that a through link is necessary to provide adequate service to the new plat. Currently, there
are or were only eight widely separated single-family homes. As proposed there will be 51 single-
family homes with substantially less separation between sidewalls. There will be substantially more
population and at approximately 10 vehicle trips per home per day, a change in vehicle trips from
approximately 80 trips to 500 trips. A through link will provide a faster emergency response route if
Hoquiam and NE 4th are blocked than would SE 121st Street north of the site. The modification was
denied and at this junction it will be up to the Fire Department to determine to whether the through
street is required.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed plat, in general, appears to serve the public use and interest. It provides additional
housing choices in an area where urban services are available or can be extended from nearby utility
lines. In addition, in some respects, surrounding development was designed to accommodate this plat in
terms of stormwater control and conveyance and sanitary sewer connections. The development of the
subject site with new housing is compatible with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
which designate the area for additional detached single family uses.
2. As noted, the plat of Blueberry Place, downhill from the subject site, was designed to potentiaily deal
with gravity flows of both stormwater and sanitary sewerage. That does not mean such extensions
might not affect those living in Blueberry Place but any disturbances will be temporary and restoration
of landscaping or hardscaping would be required by the applicant or City.
3. The proposed lots are rectangular and with the exception of a few interior lots, will have access directly
to the proposed street system. The lots appear to meet the standards for size and setbacks for both
interior and corner lots.
4. The road system appears suitable for internal circulation in the new plat. The connections required by
the City to the arterial systems will provide access for routine traffic as well as emergency traffic. The
alignment of the eastern segment of NE 6th Street will require cooperation from an adjacent property
owner. This will require a publicly owned street as part of this development. Similarly, within the
limits of the applicant's ability, Hoquiam will need street improvements even if they are, for the
moment, non-contiguous.
5. The Comprehensive Plan suggests in Policy CD-45 that mature and distinctive vegetation be retained
and doing so in this case would preserve a buffer between the subject site and the westerly properties. It
would also reduce the amount of grading that occurs at the boundary between adjacent properties.
Preserving trees would also take pressure off the trees located along the eastern edge of the adjoining
lots. Therefore, the applicant will be required to protect trees along the westernmost 5 to 10 feet of its
Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat
File No.: LUA-05-055, ECF, PP
July 26,2005
Page 13
site. Grading and clearing can occur outside of this range. An arborist selected with the City's approval
can determine the boundary of tree protection.
6. Code changes reflect the need for additional street trees and landscaping. These now need to be
incorporated into this plat.
7. Development of the subject site will increase the tax base of the City. The applicant will be paying
mitigation for some of its impacts on parks and fire offsetting those impacts. The traffic will increase
substantially from approximately 80 to 500 trips per day and appropriate roads are necessary to handle
this increase.
8. In conclusion, the City Council should approve the proposed plat with the conditions suggested by staff
to allow it to meld and mesh with the surrounding uses and needs.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the 51-lot Preliminary Plat subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall obtain a demolition permit and complete all inspections and approvals for all
buildings located on the property prior to the recording of the final plat. The satisfaction of this
requirement is subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Project Manager.
2. The applicant shall submit a conceptual landscape plan for the five-foot landscape strop as prepared by a
registered landscape architect, or a certified nurseryman, or other similarly qualified professional to the
Development services Project Manager for review and approval prior to recording of the final plat.
3. Since the modification was denied and not appealed in a timely fashion the applicant shall install a 20-
foot width of pavement and a pedestrian sidewalk within the NE 6"' Street right-of-way abutting
Blueberry Place prior to recording of the final plat. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the
review and approval of the Renton Fire Department.
4. A homeowner's association or maintenance agreement shall be created concurrently with the recording
of the final plat in order to establish maintenance responsibilities for all shared improvements. A draft
of the document(s), if necessary, shall be submitted to the City of Renton Development Services
Division for review and approval by the City Attorney and Property Services section prior to recording
of the final plat.
5. NE 6th Street right-of-way along the plat's entire frontage shall be dedicated at the time of recording of
the final plat. The satisfaction of this requirement is subject to the review and approval of the
Development Services Project Manager.
6. Tract A shall be fenced, landscaped, and irrigated (unless drought tolerant plants are used). :he
property lines of Tract A fronting Road B, Lots 9 and 28 shall include a landscaped visual barrier so as
to not interfere with sight distance triangles including plant materials which would provide a year round
dense screen within three(3)years from the time of planting. Tract A property lines to the west, south
and along Lots 9 and 23 are to be fenced with a six-foot high solid wood fence, or other approved
material (no chain link). Tract A fronting Road B shall be fenced with either a wrought iron, or chain
link with vinyl covering, or other decorative wood fence. The applicant shall submit a landscape plan
and fence design identifying construction and plant materials for the review and approval of the

Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100Gof the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in
writing on or before 5:00 p.m.,August 9,2005. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the
Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in judgment, or the
discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written
request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen (14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This
request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant, and the Examiner may,
after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper.
An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 110, which requires that such appeal
be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements.
Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City
Hall. An appeal must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m.,August 9, 2005.
If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants, the
executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You
may contact this office for information on formatting covenants.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebur the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

COMMITTEE REPORT
4R-6,100S
December 12,2005
Langley D'evela eutJBlueberry ROA
File No, LUM55;-055 ECF, PP
(Referred Octob 24,2005)
The Planning&Development Committee met on this appeal on December 8, 2005. The
Committee finds that there is no substantial error in fact or law in the Hearing Examiner's
decision on the original appeal, and recommends that the Hearing Examiner's decision be
affirmed.
The subject property is Honey Brooke West Preliminary Plat, located at the 500 - 600 block of
Hoquiam Avenue NE. The original Applicant/Appellant, C. Thomas Foster, Langley
Development Group, withdrew their appeal on October 6, 2005. Blueberry Place Homeowner's
Association(HOA), by its President Kay Haynes, filed an appeal on October 3, 2005, and Ms.
Haynes appeared before the Committee as the lone Appellant for this proceeding. Blueberry
Place is an adjacent property development to the subject site.
Appellant Haynes alleged errors of fact and law by the Hearing Examiner in that there was no
evidence or information by the Fire Department to justify the extension of NE 6th Street.
However, the record contains information supporting the Fire Department's position that the NE
6th Street roadway extension is both necessary and warranted for emergency access. Despite
Haynes and Blueberry HOA's objection to the access road, the community as a whole would be
better served by this extension to allow both residents and emergency services to find the
quickest and most direct route in emergency situations.
This Committee's decision is solely limited to the record, the Hearing Examiner's report, the
notice of appeal and additional submissions by parties. (RMC 4.8-100G(6)). No new or
additional testimony or evidence can be considered. Therefore, based on the foregoing, this
Committee cannot find that a substantial error in fact or law exists in the record.

SUBJECT: Information: Traffic Concerns at South 4th Street and Wells
Avenue South
Last year, Arland `Buzz' Johnson appeared before Council and requested traffic measures to
assure pedestrian safety on Wells Avenue South by the Spencer Court Apartments (Council
Referral 05029-C). Staff has concluded the traffic analysis and determined that, while there have
been no reported pedestrian accidents,there are solutions available to reduce the high number of
vehicular collisions at this location.
Prior to 2003, the intersection of South 4th Street and Wells Avenue South experienced one to
two accidents annually. Since January 1, 2003, this intersection now experiences about six
accidents annually. Most of these accidents are right-angle collisions, involving a northbound
vehicle with a westbound vehicle. All of the right-angle accidents occurred between 9:00 a.m.
and 9:00 p.m. The most severe accidents (involving injuries) occurred only during the afternoon
and evening rush hours. The crash rate of at least five preventable accidents in a twelve-month
period at this location now meets Criterion B in Section 2B.07 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD) which can justify a multi-way stop. South 4th Street at Wells
Avenue South now has our highest accident rate (per entering vehicles) in the City and merits
some effort to decrease it.
During the evening rush hours, the queue of eastbound vehicles on South 4th Street sometimes
backs up from Main Avenue South to Williams Avenue South. Vehicles in the queue sometimes
occupy the intersection control area of South 4th Street and Wells Avenue South. In so doing,
these vehicles occupy the sight triangle between westbound and northbound vehicles. This
obstruction of sight distance contributes to the frequency of collisions between northbound and
westbound vehicles.
One of the reasons the queue forms is because parked cars on the south side of South 4th Street
restrict eastbound vehicles to just one lane. In a manner similar to operations on Park Avenue
North,just north of North 1St Street, Transportation Operations staff proposes striping eastbound
South 4th Street for two moving lanes and also prohibiting parking during the evening rush hours

RE: Traffic Concerns at South 4th Street and Wells Avenue South
from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Although we would lose the use of six or seven parking spaces for two
hours, South 4th Street will gain capacity and hence shorten the queue of vehicles waiting for a
green light.
Section 2B.07 of the MUTCD states intersections to be considered should be "...locations where
a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to safely negotiate the
intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop." At some critical times
during rush hour this is not the case, as drivers on conflicting approaches sometimes cannot see
each other even when they properly obey the stop signs. Installing an all-way stop here without
first clearing the sight distance obstructions will probably do nothing to reduce the frequency or
rate of accidents. It will only decrease the impact speed of the vehicle on South 4th Street.
After opening two moving lanes for eastbound South 4th Street, we could also shift the eastbound
through movement from the left over to the right lane. The left lane would then carry only left-
turning traffic. This would disrupt some free right turns from South 4th Street because some
drivers would find themselves behind a driver waiting for a green light to go straight.
Nonetheless, analysis of this proposal indicates that it would further shorten the two queues of
eastbound vehicles by evening out their lengths. Under the existing lane assignments,the
eastbound left-turn queue extends 181 feet or longer because its green phase is so short.
Although more eastbound drivers want to turn right, this queue reaches a maximum length of
about 63 feet because some cars can turn right on red. By moving the few drivers that want to go
straight from the left to the right lane, Synchro modeling predicts that both queues will reach a
length of about 110 feet,which is little more than half the length of the block.
In summary, the Transportation Operations staff will be implementing the following
adjustments, as warranted:
1. Prohibit parking on South 4th Street between Williams Avenue South and Main Avenue
South from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
2. Move the eastbound through movement at Main Avenue South from the left lane to the
right lane.
3. Install an all-way Stop control system at the intersection of South 4th Street and Wells
Avenue South.
Should any of the above measures succeed in reducing the accident rate, nothing more needs to
be done.

summary of when the collisions occur and their corresponding hourly volumes and some
photographs that show how eastbound vehicles could obstruct sight distances. Also attached are
copies of the MUTCD Section 2B.07, referenced above, and the Synchro analysis of the
proposals along with the 2004 turning movement count for the signal at South 4th Street and

Section 2B.07 Multiwav Ston Applications
Support:
Multiway stop control can be useful as a safetymeasure

mclude pedestrians,bicyclists,
conditions exist. Safety concerns associated withY
and all road users expecting other road users to stop.oMultiway
op control is used where the ;
volume of traffic on the intersecting roads is approximately equal.
{';-�� The
restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 2B.05 also apply to multiway
a1' F
I;t' �I stop applications. ,
i
'i' Guidance:
The decision to install multiway stop control should be based on an engineering
study.
{, i'
1�,I' The following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multiway
i' STOP sign installation:
I;!l

B. A crash problem, as indicated by 5 or more reported crashes in a 12-month
period that are susceptible to correction by a multiway stop installation. Such
��, �; crashes include right- and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions.
j'• C. Minimum volumes:

approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour
for any 8 hours of an average day, and t"
2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the
intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches)
averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average
delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle
during the highest hour, but
3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 65 s�
km/h (40 mph), the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of
the above values.
D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all
satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from
this condition.
Option:
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high ;f
pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able
to safely negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop;
and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector(through) streets of similar
design and operating characteristics where multiway stop control would improve traffic
operational characteristics of the intersection.
Section 2B.08 YIELD Sign (R1-2)
Standard:
The YIELD (R1-2) sign shall be a downward-pointing equilateral triangle with
a wide red border and the legend YIELD in red on a white background.
Support:
The YIELD sign assigns right-of-way to traffic on certain approaches to an intersection.
Vehicles controlled by a YIELD sign need to slow down or stop when necessary to avoid
interfering with conflicting traffic. tt

Subject: Traffic Measures to Assure Pedestrian Safety on Wells Avenue South by the Spencer
Court Apartments
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding potential traffic measures that could be considered to assure
pedestrian safety on Wells Avenue South by the Spencer Court Apartments. Your specific concern is
that westbound vehicles turn right to go north at the intersection without stopping for pedestrians
crossing on the north side of the intersection.
There are no reported pedestrian-related accidents at the intersection of Wells Avenue South and South
Fourth Street. This is based upon our accident records for the last thirteen years. We are reviewing
solutions to improve the intersection.
Thank you for your cooperation and for taking the time to express your concerns. We will be getting
back to you once our studies are completed.
Sincerely,
Gregg Zimmerman, P.E., Administrator

SUBJECT: Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water Comprehensive
Rate Study and System Development Charges Study
ISSUE:
Should the Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water utilities conduct a comprehensive
study and analysis of utility rates and system development charges?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the consultant contract with Financial Consulting Solutions Group, Inc. in the
amount of$97,940 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City's policy is to periodically conduct a comprehensive utility rate study to update
assumptions and to ensure the long-term solvency and viability of the City's utilities. A
comprehensive study was conducted in 1994, and an updated study is needed due to
expansion of the City population and utility service requirements.
In the proposed study, the consultant will provide an analysis of rate revenue
requirements, equity, and structure; and system development charges. Revenue
requirements for the immediate (1-6 years) and long-term horizons (up to 20 years) will
be examined. Equity, or the spreading of cost equally among customers, will also be

the subject of this study. The consultant will present alternative rate structures for
consideration and analyze their potential impact on a customer's monthly bill. Finally,
the City's current methodology for calculating system development charges will be
analyzed and alternative methods presented.
Completion of the comprehensive rate study is anticipated to be on or before August 1,
2006. The $100,000 budget for this study was approved in the 2006 City Budget;
$90,000 in the utilities operating budget, and $10,000 in the Wastewater capital budget.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 - Data Collection/Validation & Project Kick-off Meeting: Collect, review, and analyze data necessary for
the study and facilitate a project kick-off meeting with all pertinent parties.
1. Data Collection - Prepare an initial data request identifying financial and operational documents pertinent to the
performance of the study. Review, analyze, and validate data as necessary for use in formulating the technical
analyses. Follow up with requests for any additional items or explanations as necessary.
2. Policy Review/Development — As a foundation for the analytical tasks, review current fiscal policies and
practices and identify potential refinements for the City's consideration. Selected policies will be incorporated
into the subsequent rate study elements and documented in the project report. Policies will likely address
financial performance standards, reserve policies, system reinvestment, debt management / debt structuring,
revenue risk assessment,and development/redevelopment.
3. Project Kick-off Meeting- Prepare for and facilitate a project kick-off meeting with City staff. The first portion
would involve a meeting with all necessary parties to obtain a clear understanding of study issues and objectives,
identify fiscal policies to be incorporated in the analysis, and establish a tentative schedule for subsequent
meetings and project deliverables. The second portion of the meeting will involve a comprehensive review with
pertinent parties of all data received.
Task I Work Products/Outcomes:
• Written data request
• Preliminary fiscal policy recommendations
• Documented fiscal policy framework(with phase-in strategies, if necessary)
Task 2 - Revenue Requirement Forecast: Develop a 20-year revenue requirement forecast (2006-2026) for each
utility to determine annual rate revenue needs to fund operating and maintenance costs, capital related needs, fiscal
policy achievement, and other financial obligations of the utilities.
1. Construct Revenue Requirement Spreadsheet Module - Construct analytical spreadsheet modules for each
utility to complete the revenue requirement related technical analyses discussed in Subtasks 2 through 4
below. We will work with City staff to tailor input parameters consistent with the City's budgeting categories
and potential debt structuring options. The modules will be designed with user-friendliness in mind, and will
be flexible and stable enough to perform sensitivity analyses for alternative revenue requirement scenario
development.
2. Develop Capital Financing Strategies—Based on capital improvement and annual replacement needs for each
utility, identify potential funding sources and develop alternative capital project scheduling and financing
strategies for a 6-year and 20-year study period. The analysis will include a forecast of capital funding needs,
borrowing requirements, and associated cash flows and cash balances over the study period. We will
incorporate cash and debt management policies from Task 1.2 above to evaluate and recommend an
appropriate balance of funding from cash, SDCs, bonds, and other available revenue sources. We will work
closely with the City's utility engineers to perform sensitivity analyses for alternative scheduling of the City's
current CIPs. The budget provides for up to three(3) scenarios for each utility.
3. Forecast Operating Expenses - Forecast ongoing operating and maintenance costs, debt service, and other
financial obligations of each utility over a 6-year and 20-year study period. Establish economic factors for
customer growth and cost escalation. Incorporate additional O&M expenses, if any, resulting from the CIP
and/or other known changes in operational requirements.
4. Assess Revenue Needs - Integrate recommended fiscal policies, capital financing impacts, and operating
forecasts to develop an operating cash flow for each utility over the 6-year and 20-year study period. Compare
8

•
projected cash requirements against projected revenue under existing rates to determine annual rate
adjustments needed to ensure financial sustainability over time. The budget provides for up to three (3)
scenarios to evaluate alternative frequencies and level of rate adjustments.
5. Review Meeting- Prepare for and facilitate an on-site meeting with City staff to review findings, conclusions,
and recommendations relating to revenue requirements. Following this review, we will revise the analyses, as
appropriate, and finalize recommendations for use in the subsequent cost of service analysis.
Task 2 Work Products/Outcomes:
• Spreadsheet model printouts of revenue requirement analyses for each utility
• 6-year and 20-year capital financing(including debt forecasts)
• 6-year and 20-year operating forecast
• Schedule of indicated annual revenue adjustments(with phase-in strategies, if necessary)
Task 3 - Cost of Service Analyses: Using the detailed revenue requirement for the appropriate test year(year rates
will go into effect), develop a series of allocations based on customer data, engineering / planning criteria, and
Consultant judgment, to assign utility cost recovery to customers in proportion to their actual demands.
1. Construct Cost of Service Spreadsheet Module - Construct analytical spreadsheet modules for each utility to
complete the cost of service related technical analyses discussed in Subtasks 2 through 5 below. The modules
will incorporate the unique system and customer class characteristics of the City's utilities and be fully
integrated with the revenue requirement module.
2. Allocate Functional Costs to System Components — Determine appropriate cost allocation factors to allocate
plant and expense items to functional cost components. We will utilize documented system planning criteria
and work closely with the City's water and wastewater utility engineers to establish appropriate factors.
Detailed cost allocations are not necessary for the development of quantity-based surface water rates (versus
quality-based rates). We will express total utility costs in relationship to the following service functions for
each utility:
✓ Water Service: Customer(accounts, meters), Base Demand,Peak Demand, and Fire Protection
✓ Wastewater Service: Customer (accounts, units) and Flow. Strength will not be incorporated since the City
conveys its wastewater to King County for treatment, which does not consider strength in its current system
of charges. It is our understanding that the City does not wish to incorporate a strength differential into its
schedule of rates.
✓ Surface Water: Impervious Surface Area/Intensity of Development.
3. Develop Customer Statistics - Using historical customer data from the City's billing system, we will compile,
summarize, and validate the data in terms of reconciling customer account and usage records with reported
revenues to ensure that the historical information will serve as a valid basis for calculating rates that will
generate the correct amount of revenue. Significant discrepancies in billing system data will be brought to the
attention of the City for further evaluation. Minor adjustments to the data set needed to create a valid rate basis
will be made, as identified by Consultants and with the input of City staff. From the final customer data set,
we will develop summary statistics for the "test" year describing customer characteristics, such as number of
accounts/units, meter sizes, average demands, seasonal demands, frequency of each water rate block,
impervious surface area, intensity of development(surface water), etc. These statistics will serve as a basis for
allocating utility costs and classifying customers, and they will provide one resource for illuminating potential
structural revisions to the existing rate schedules.
4. Review Customer Class Designations - Review existing customer class designations for each utility to
determine if new or revised customer classes are warranted. A review of customer class statistics, as well as
input from City staff, will be used to determine the most appropriate grouping of customers into classes of
customer exhibiting similar needs and service requirements.
9
H:\File Sys\ADM-PBPW Adminstration\Analyst\UTIL\Rate Study\Contract\Consultant Contract.doc
s
5. Distribute Costs to Customer Classes — Using the results of the functional cost allocation and summary
customer statistics, we will determine unit costs of service for each functional cost component of the systems
and assign cost recovery to customer classes in proportion to the demands they place on the system(s). We will
summarize the resulting cost of service by class for each utility and compare to existing revenue recovery by
class to determine potential shifts in costs among customer classes. To the extent any of the prior allocations
and classifications were the result of a judgment call, the sensitivity of the cost burden shifts between
customer classes will be tested against changes in those variables.
6. Evaluate Wholesale Customer Cost of Service—As a separate "side analysis" calculate cost of service for the
City's existing wholesale customer. This analysis will take into consideration wholesale customer/usage
patterns, as well as other "non-owner" customer considerations, such as location, use of systems and an
appropriate rate of return for the City. Calculated cost of service will be compared with existing revenue
recovery based on the current wholesale contract.
7. Review Meeting - Prepare for and facilitate an on-site meeting with City staff to review findings, conclusions,
and recommendations relating to cost of service. Following this review, we will revise the analyses, as
appropriate,and finalize recommendations for use in the subsequent rate design elements.
Task 3 Work Products/Outcomes:
• Spreadsheet model printouts of cost of service analyses for each utility
• Defined cost of service by customer class—retail customers
• Defined cost of service for wholesale customer
Task 4 - Rate Structure Evaluation: This task includes evaluation of alternative rate structures for each service,
and a comparison of sample typical bills showing potential customer impacts under each structure.
1. Construct Rate Design Spreadsheet Module - Construct analytical spreadsheet modules for each utility to
complete the rate design related technical analyses discussed in Subtasks 2 through 4 below. The modules will
incorporate each system's unique rate design elements and be fully integrated with the revenue requirement
and cost of service modules.
2. Review Current Rate Structures — Review current rate structures for each utility and identify potential
improvements consistent with City goals and objectives, to be discussed at the project kick-off meeting. For
each alternative rate structure, we will identify billing and administrative needs; meter reading/billing
frequency recommendations; and potential advantages, disadvantages, and risks. At a minimum, we anticipate
consideration of the following rate structures:
✓ Water utility: Increasing block rates and/or seasonal rates
✓ Wastewater utility: Volume-based residential rates
✓ Surface water utility: Review of current exemption / charging practices; expansion from three to five
"intensity of development"categories
3. Design Alternative Rate Structures - Based on City preferences from Subtask 2 above, design rates for
selected alternative rate structures for each utility. The budget allows for up to three(3) rate structures for each
utility.
4. Determine Customer Impacts — For each rate structure alternative, we will analyze the potential rate impacts
for each customer class based on a series of defined usage patterns and attributes for typical customers based
on the City's billing records. The resulting level of rates under each rate structure option will be compared to
rate levels for up to 10 neighboring communities (Auburn, Issaquah, Kent, and the water/sewer districts of
Soos Creek, Coal Creek, and Skyway).
5. Review Meeting - Prepare for and facilitate an on-site meeting with City staff to review findings, conclusions,
and Consultant recommendations relating to rate design. Following this review, we will revise the analyses, as
appropriate, and finalize recommendations. The final analyses will be incorporated into the draft study report.

1-I:\File Sys\ADM-PBPW Adminstration\Analyst\UTIL\Rate Study\Contract\Consultant Contract.doc
Task 4 Work Products/Outcomes:
• Spreadsheet model printouts of rate design for each utility
• Schedule of rates by customer class
• Sample customer bill impacts
• Typical bill comparisons with neighboring communities
Task 5- System Development Charges: Review existing SDC methodologies, recommend revisions, as warranted,
and establish a schedule of charges for each utility.
1. Construct SDC Spreadsheet Module - Construct analytical spreadsheet modules for each utility to complete
the SDC technical analyses discussed in Subtasks 2 through 3 below. The modules will incorporate each
system's unique SDC elements and be fully integrated with the rate modules.
2. Review Current Methodology - Review current SDC methodologies for each utility and identify potential
improvements consistent with City goals and objectives, to be discussed at the project kick-off meeting.
Specific consideration will be given to the planning horizon for the SDCs (current practice is two years), and
the bases of charges(i.e., meter size, equivalent residential units, acreage, etc.)
3. Calculate SDCs - Based on City preferences from Subtask 2 above, evaluate growth-related capital projects
and system capacity, and calculate the maximum allowable SDCs for each utility that allocates a fair share of
system capital costs to new connections. Compare calculated SDCs with current charges for up to 10
neighboring communities (Auburn, Issaquah, Kent, and the water/sewer districts of Soos Creek, Coal Creek
and Skyway).
4. Review Meeting- Prepare for and facilitate an on-site meeting with City staff to review findings, conclusions,
and Consultant recommendations relating to SDCs. Following this review, we will revise the analyses, as
appropriate, and finalize recommendations. The final analyses will be incorporated into the draft study report.
Task 5 Work Products/Outcomes:
• Spreadsheet model printouts of SDC analyses for each utility
• Schedule of SDCs(with phase-in strategies, if necessary)
Task 6— Documentation & Presentations: This task involves writing the study report, as well as preparation for
and participation in Committee/City Council presentations.
1. Project Report — Prepare and submit an executive summary level report, encompassing all three services and
summarizing study findings, recommendations and supporting materials. Submit to City for review and
comment.. Upon City staff review, prepare a final study report and publish bound copies of the document
(number of copies to be determined by City).
2. Separate wastewater report - Prepare a separate report for the wastewater utility for inclusion in the
Wastewater Management Update (Update). Most of the information for this report will be derived from the
comprehensive study reports from Subtask 1 above and will be reformatted as appropriate for consistency with
the Update.
3. Presentations - Prepare materials for and present study findings and recommendations to the Utilities
Committee, Finance Committee, and/or City Council in up to three (3) meetings [meetings forums and
attendees to be determined].
Task 6 Work Products/Outcomes:
• Draft and Final reports
• Presentation materials

Separate Consideration Human Resources and Risk Management Department recommended approval
Item 8.o. of limited preventative dental care for retired LEOFF 1 (Law Enforcement
Human Resources: LEOFF 1 Officers and Fire Fighters) members.
Members, Dental Care Council President Corman noted that the Finance Committee's authority is
Funding limited on this item, and he invited Mayor Keolker's comments on the matter.
She explained that the LEOFF 1 Disability Board approved this item, and the
City is obligated under State law to fund it since the Board has the authority to
enhance benefits. However, the funding of this item is not in the budget; thus
requiring Council action. She noted LEOFF 1 board members Nelson's and
Law's efforts to reduce the impact of the benefit.
The Mayor shared her philosophical reluctance in placing this item in the
budget,pointing out that LEOFF 1 Board members created the additional
benefit for themselves, and LEOFF 1 members receive full medical benefits for
life,paid for by the City, in addition to their State retirement benefit. She
stated that this is a new benefit, and the costs, which are paid by the taxpayers,
will continue to grow over time.
Pointing out that she chairs the LEOFF 1 Board, Councilwoman Nelson
explained that dental coverage has been requested for the last four years,and
the Board has discussed the issue at length. She stated that although a dental
plan is not a requirement, an agreement was finally reached specifying that the
City pay up to$250 per year per member(the benefit is limited to a maximum
of$500 annually and requires 50% co-pay by the retiree receiving care). Ms.

• Wallpaper contract was not competitively bid because it was beneath the bid
threshold requirements. $7,531 including sales tax.
• Procurement and contract management fee was negotiated at $8,671.41.
This project was scheduled to occur during the winter season to limit interruptions and
inconveniences to customers and to mitigate any business disruptions. The administrative staff
and Mayor viewed and approved the design and color scheme. Due to the rising cost of carpet
from the manufacturer, a decision was needed by the first week of December(December 2° )to
secure the best competitive price.
The follow-on contract for payments to sub-contractors ($89,118.41) and contract management
($8,671.41)will cost$97,789.89. With design services included($7,820.00)the total project
cost becomes $105,609.89. This follow-on contract to complete the work requires additional
spending authority of$35,609.89 over the 2005 appropriated amount of$70,000.
The opportunity to bring this additional contract and request before Council was not available
until this first week of January 2006, since we did not know the bid results until early December,
2005. The additional $35,609.89,over what has been previously appropriated, is available in the
golf course unreserved fund balance. In addition,there was a savings from other 2005 golf
course CIP projects in the amount of$99,500.
CONCLUSION
The approval of the contract will allow timely completion of this project. Funds are available
from savings.
