Passed by Finance Committee on June 5, 2006 (see committee report, attached). • Bid/Estimate Discrepancy: During its design phase, this project was estimated using the best available historic square foot costs for the previous year(especially considering the high quality materials necessary to match the existing community center). However, the entire construction industry has seen a rapid rise in prices over the last two years that has far outstripped inflation with some square footage costs even doubling. It seems to be due to a combination of a stronger building sector making a better bidding environment for contractors and increased steel and fuel prices affecting all material prices (especially petroleum based ones). The city of Renton has certainly not been unique in this dilemma as Atai° evidenced by the well publicized cost overruns on the Bellevue City Hall project.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: The Administration has been looking into the costs and benefits of purchasing hybrid powered vehicles for our heavy equipment fleet. A hybrid is a vehicle that uses more than one system of producing and delivering power to increase overall efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions. The specific vehicles being investigated are equipped with a battery assembly that allows the vehicle to alternate between petroleum and electric power depending on operation conditions. Advantages of hybrid powered include reduced fuel use and cost, reduced emission of pollution, quiet operation for nighttime use, and ability to utilize the vehicle as a portable electrical generator. The main disadvantage is the higher up-front purchase price. The Administration would like to purchase two hybrid-powered vehicles for delivery in early 2007: a boom truck and a Fire Department aid unit. While the purchase price of these vehicles would fall within the 2007 equipment rental budget, and funding approval would be sought from Council at that time, we wish to brief you and to ascertain that there will be support for this purchase. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Briefing only. Rentonnetlagnbilli hh <C 0, PLANNING/BUILDING/ �� ® ♦ PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT • "e"P � MEMORANDUM DATE: June 9, 2006 TO: Don Persson, Chair Members of the Finance Committee VIA: JKathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: Gregg Zimmerman STAFF CONTACT: Mike Stenhouse (x-7311) SUBJECT: Information briefing: Purchase of two hybrid vehicles for City fleet ISSUE: The Administration has been investigating the costs and benefits of purchasing hybrid powered vehicles for our heavy equipment fleet. We have put in a pre-commitment order (non-binding) for two vehicles: a boom truck for the use of the PBPW Department, and an aid unit for the use of the Fire Department. The purchase price of these vehicles would fall within the 2007 equipment rental budget. We would like to order these two vehicles such that they would be built in November 2006 and delivered to the City in early 2007. We intend to use our standard approach in presenting this proposal for Council review and approval before making a firm order. However, we wish to provide a briefing to the Finance Committee at this time in order to present information about these vehicles and to assure that there will be support for this purchase as long as a reasonable price can be obtained. It is our understanding that these vehicles will be among the first of their kind that will be placed in use on the West Coast. King County Metro is currently considering ordering a number of hybrid powered buses for their bus fleet. BACKGROUND: The same type of hybrid technology that is available in personal automobiles is now being made available for heavy equipment fleets. A hybrid is a vehicle that uses more than one system of producing and delivering power to increase overall efficiency and reduce vehicle emissions. We have been working with King County fleet maintenance staff to investigate benefits and availability of hybrid powered vehicles, and have been in contact with CALSTART, an advanced transportation technologies organization that has put together the Hybrid Truck User's Forum (HTUF). This forum is investigating heavy- duty hybrid truck applications as part of a larger attempt to reduce fuel consumption and reduce vehicular tailpipe emissions. Now h:\division.s\admin\gregg'.h)hnd2.doc Don Persson Members of the Finance Committee Page 2 of 3 June 9,2006 414001 Mike Stenhouse, Maintenance Services Division Director and David Hohn, Fleet Manager, have attended two HTUF forums, the most recent in February of 2006. The 2006 budget for Fund 501, Equipment Repair and Replacement, includes $1,003,600 for purchase of various pieces of equipment. The list of rolling stock scheduled for purchase in 2006 does not include a new utility boom truck and a Fire Department aid unit. However we would like to order the two vehicles in 2006 for delivery in 2007, and payment would be from the 2007 equipment rental budget. Mike and David have been charged with exploring the purchase of hybrid equipment with the priorities of optimizing benefits, reducing extra costs, and assuring that any vehicles added to our fleet are reliable. Benefits of heavy-duty hybrid vehicles are listed in more detail in the attached material, and include: ➢ Reduce fuel consumption between 40% and 60% ➢ Reduce emission of pollution ➢ Ability to run boom trucks silently at night, which allows the maintenance of infrastructure such as traffic signals without making noise. ➢ Ability to serve as portable electric generators to power other equipment including lights and emergency pumps ➢ Ability of hybrid vehicles to generate and store power during deceleration, which saves on brake wear and reduces other maintenance problems There is sufficient working experience with heavy-duty hybrid vehicles to provide assurance that down time and the need for expensive repairs are not serious items of concern in considering the acquisition of these vehicles. However,purchase price is an issue. For example, currently class 5-7 hybrid trucks (such as boom trucks) would sell for $130,000, which is $50,000 higher than the non-hybrid version ($80,000). Even with an estimated annual fuel cost savings of$3,000 to $4,000 per year per vehicle, the cost savings would likely not equal the extra cost of the purchase over the life of the vehicle. We feel that the additional costs are justified by the benefits listed above. We also should factor in the reduction in vehicle maintenance due to the reduced idle time and engine and brake wear offered by the hybrid unit. Increasing the size of the overall truck order will have the effect of driving the extra cost per unit down from $50,000 extra to as low as $15,000 per unit for a very large order. We feel that the hoped for reduced cost in addition to the listed benefits provided by these vehicles along with the distinction of being one of the first jurisdictions in the Northwest to acquire these vehicles will make a modest purchase order worth while. h:\division.s\admin\gregg'h\brid2.doc Don Persson Members of the Finance Committee Page 3 of 3 June 9,2006 Mitre CURRENT STATUS: Mike and Dave were authorized to look into the purchase of two (2) heavy-duty hybrid vehicles. Renton has been placed on International Truck's master Customer List for two (2)hybrid vehicles: a boom truck and an aid unit. We believe that these two vehicles could be part of a nation-wide order of over 100 trucks, in which case we expect the cost to be reduced. Manufacture of the trucks is planned to occur in November/December 2006. This will make Renton the first municipality in the Northwest to own a hybrid boom truck. The aid unit has some minor technical challenges that will need to be worked out. The manufacturer, Braun Northwest, has indicated a great deal of interest in resolving the small engineering questions that exist. If these get satisfactorily resolved Renton could become the first owner anywhere of a hybrid powered aid truck. We will provide additional information as this order moves forward toward production. Because we do not yet know the size that the firm order will be for these vehicles, we do not yet know the cost. We intend to bring forward a proposal to purchase these two vehicles later this year. We continue to make efforts to reduce the price differential through grant application and other means. The Administration believes that the benefits of acquiring these vehicles for our fleet in terms of fuel savings, added versatility of uses, participation in the effort to reduce air pollution and limit our dependence on fossil fuels, *ire and demonstrating Renton's willingness to be a local leader on an issue that has taken on global importance justify the additional expense of the vehicles. This purchase can be looked upon as a pilot project that could potentially lead to future equipment purchases if the City is fully satisfied with the performance and versatility of this equipment. cc: Renton City Councilmembers(8) Jay Covington.Chief Administrative Officer Mike Bailey,Finance/IS Administrator Mike Stenhouse.Maintenance Services Director David Hohn.Fleet Manager 'err+ h:\division.s\admin\gregg,h\hrid2.doc HEAVY-DUTY HYBRID VEHICLES Weststart-CALSTART is an advanced transportation technologies organization in Southern California, which has put together the Hybrid Truck User's Forum(HTUF). This forum is investigating heavy-duty hybrid truck applications as part of a larger attempt to reduce fuel consumption and reduce vehicular tailpipe emissions. > A hybrid is a vehicle that uses more than one system of producing, storing and delivering power to increase overall efficiency. A hybrid can capture and store energy during braking that otherwise would be lost as heat. It then can reuse this energy during peak driving demands. > The use of hybrid vehicles in heavy-duty vehicle fleets holds a great deal of promise, and successful tests are being conducted on the use of such vehicles. Benefits include: ➢ Reduced fuel consumption and cost (between 40% and 60% fuel reduction). > Reduced emission of pollution. > Ability of vehicles to run silently at night on alternate power so that such activities as working on traffic signals can be done with very little noise. > Ability to generate power silently providing for the operation of other equipment such as traffic signals and streetlights while repairs are under way. > Because hybrid trucks generate and store power during deceleration, this saves on brake wear and reduces other maintenance problems. ➢ The US Army has 246,000 vehicles and plans to reduce fuel costs by 75% by 2010. The Army is a participant in the HTUF forum. ➢ One obstacle to making these vehicles available for use in government fleets is the relatively high costs of the vehicles. For example, currently class 5-7 of hybrid trucks would sell for$130,000, which is $50,000 higher than the non- hybrid version ($80,000). > If these vehicles could be ordered in higher quantities, it might be possible to reduce the cost of the hybrid version to $100,000. > Renton, along with King County, is interested in building support in the State for the efforts of the HTUF forum. We would like to build interest in a high volume "Phase 2"purchase of trucks that could reduce the cost of these vehicles. More specifically, we would like to put together a"commitment/interest" meeting of fleets operating Class 5-7 work trucks in February before the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle conference in San Diego. In this way jurisdictions of Washington State could provide meaningful participation in the HTUF forum and could assist in the efforts to make these promising vehicles available to government fleets. > Any jurisdiction interested in investigating or supporting these efforts may contact Renton's Fleet Manager David Holm at (425) 430-7400.

The City has the Randy Corman,Council President June 19,2006 Page 2 NIS ability to meet this schedule due to the ongoing efforts of the Traffic Operations staff to implement the School zone Sign Upgrade project (TIP #37). Existing speed zone signs in school zones that indicate enforcement "when children are present" do not send a clear enough directive to the motorist. Upgrading to an electronic flashing operation provides clearer direction to the motorist that the posted 20 miles per hour (mph) speed must be obeyed when the lights are flashing. The City is going beyond the grant requirement of installing the flashing signs by installing electronic variable speed signs that will collect actual speed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The City will install one variable message sign per school identifying the actual speed of the vehicle. Instant messages may be programmed to read the speed of the vehicle, a message to "slow down," or other messages. City staff will coordinate with the schools and also develop a public awareness and education campaign to inform the motoring public of the engineering change and driving expectation in the school zones. Traffic Operations staff will collect the data and report on average speeds. The City's aim is reducing the average speeds in school zones, reducing the number of collisions, increasing the safety of students who walk and bicycle to and from school, and development of an evaluation plan outlining measurements of the above goals. -4601 The City will install: flashing yellow lighted beacons as defined by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for school zone use; 20 mph speed limit signage mounted to approved poles and powered by solar or electrical energy; software to control the system; and, additional signage required by the MUTCD to ensure proper marking of an elementary school designated school zone. cc: Peter Hahn, Deputy PBPW Administrator-Transportation Karl Hamilton,Traffic Operations Manager Dave Whitmarsh,Transportation Maintenance Supervisor Ronald Mar,Traffic Operations Engineer Sharon Griffin,Transportation Program Development Coordinator John Hasty, Transportation Planning Project Manager Nancy Violante, FIS Grant Accountant Constance Brundage,Transportation Administrative Secretary H:\sgriffin\issue papers\IP School Zone Flashing Lights Grant Obligation aF,STATE o� c 4 a Z k1;893°' leas 3oy STATE OF WASHINGTON WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION (WTSC) PO Box 40944, 1000 S.

Upgrading to an electronic flashing operation provides clearer direction to the motorist that the posted 20 mph speed must be obeyed when the lights are flashing. Nu.. 2. Agency Qualifications The City of Renton is a medium-sized City with a Mayor-Council form of government. The Transportation Divisions is within the Planning/Building/Public Works Department, and consists of a Planning Section, a Traffic Operations Section and a Design/Construction Section. In the past year, the Traffic Operations Section has researched school zone flashing beacons at the request of a Renton Councilmember(a former Deputy Police Chief) who wanted to upgrade and implement a safer signage system in school zones. The City of Renton would like to install flashing signals at all Renton school sites. a. The City of Renton has the ability to deliver the program services as defined in the request for proposal (RFP) with in-house staff. Fund are appropriated in the 2006 Transportation Capital Improvement budget for the City's matching share. b. The City of Renton has the ability to collaborate with other affected organizations. We have the cooperation of the Renton School District and are working with Michael Fortson, Transportation Liaison, to gather data. We have the cooperation of the Renton Police Department and have included a letter of support from Kevin Milosevich, Chief of Police, and Tracy Merrill, Sergeant. c. The City of Renton has the ability to install and maintain a flashing light system and signage. City Traffic Operations staff have met with vendors and visited all school sites over the last year to determine installation feasibility (such as the availability of electricity) at each school. City staff will perform installation in conjunction with City Road Maintenance '``w staff. The main contacts are: Karl Hamilton, Traffic Operations Manager, and Dave Whitmarsh, Transportation Maintenance Supervisor. Staff is ready to meet the grant 7 deadlines of beginning the projects within 60 days of grant approval, and installation completion within 120 days of the grant approval. d. The City of Renton has the ability to report on the average speeds documented after activation of the flashing light system. The City of Renton is going beyond installing the flashing signs and installing electronic variable speed signs that will collect actual speed data 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ron Mar, Traffic Operations Specialist, will collect the data and report on the average speeds. 3. Project Goals The City's aim is reducing the average speeds in school zones, reducing the number of collisions, increasing the safety of students who walk and bicycle to and from school, and development of an evaluation plan outlining measurements of the above goals. 4. Project Activities The City of Renton agrees to install flashing yellow lighted beacons as defined by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)for school zone use, 20 MPH speed limit signage mounted to approved poles and powered by solar or electrical energy, software to control the system and additional signage required by the MUTCD to ensure proper marking of an elementary school designated school zone. In addition to the grant requirement, the City of Renton will install one variable message sign per school identifying the actual speed of the vehicle. Instant messages may be programmed to read the speed of the vehicle, a message to "slow down", or other messages. 5. Project Evaluation The City of Renton agrees to evaluate pre- and post installation conditions for consistency with the goals to include: • Provide a clear directive to the motorist in the school zone. • Reduce motor vehicle speeds in school zones. • Prevent or reduce the number of collisions. • Increase the safety of students who walk and bicycle to and from school. • Provide an evaluation plan to include collecting data from the variable message signs of actual speeds and calculating averages; evaluate collisions after installation.

Special Comments Kennydale: The school is under construction and expects an increase in the number of students walking and bicycling to the new school. Students include kindergarten. Talbot Hill: A high volume of cars drop and pick up students. Patrols on duty 8:45 in a.m. and 3:30 in p.m. AM kindergarten dismisses at 11:40 am and PM kindergarten starts at 1:00 p.m. The photos were taken at dismissal (see attached). Lunch is 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Highlands: A high volume of cars drop and pick up students. Patrols on duty 8:20 in a.m. and 3:00 in p.m. AM kindergarten dismisses at 11:15 a.m. and PM kindergarten starts at 12:30 pm. The photos were taken at arrival and dismissal (see attached). Lunch is 11:30 am to 1:00 p.m. Sierra Heights: A high volume of cars drop and pick up students. Patrols on duty 8:40 in a.m. and 3:25 in p.m. AM kindergarten dismisses at 11:40 a.m. and PM kindergarten starts at 12:55 pm. The photos were taken at arrival (see attached). Lunch is 12:00 am to 1:30 p.m. It is clear from the above comments that even a motorist with children in one school would vo.rexperience different lunch, and arrival and departure times at different schools. 9 Law Enforcement A letter of commitment from the City of Renton Police Department outlining enforcement activity in the proposed school zone is attached. Public Awareness and Education City of Renton Transportation Division staff member, Dan Hasty, Civil Engineer, will coordinate and develop a public awareness and education campaign to inform the motoring public of the engineering change and driving expectation in the proposed school zones. He will evaluate options with the Renton School District and Renton Police Department and other appropriate organizations. 10 Washington Traffic Safety Commission Project Agreement Section 3 Budget Summary Provide in brief narrative form, a budget summary of the project, including the applicants matching direct and in direct costs. In July 2005, a City of Renton Councilmember(and former City of Renton Deputy Police Chief) requested that city staff research a new program to upgrade school zone signs throughout the City to provide a clear directive to the motoring public. Staff field-verified all existing school sites (including multiple zones) and the power available for electric signs versus solar powered signs. The City would like to change out all of the signs over a multiple-year period. To this end, the City is requesting $52,500 (59%) in grant funds for four school sites for a total of seven zones. The funds will pay for the signs and software. The City's match of$37,000 (41%) will include staff and vehicles for installation, as well as purchase and installation of a variable message board that has the ability to display actual speeds of vehicles and can be programmed with messages to slow down.

Cherry Street P.O. Box 40944 Olympia, WA 98504-0944 Dear Ms. Drake: For the past several years,the Renton Police Department has participated in the school zone enforcement grant program coordinated by the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission. We continue to dedicate ourselves to making school zones safe for children within the city limits of Renton. During my tenure as the traffic sergeant for the City of Renton, we have purchased radars and PBT's with monies provided by the traffic commission when enforcing school zone speeding issues. The Renton Police Department fully supports the City of Renton Transportation Division in their desire to participate in the school zone-flashing lights proposal for several Niro' elementary schools within the city. Our two departments already coordinate efforts to pass on information. I receive studies from the traffic engineering department about speeding problems within the city. I.also receive collision data,which assists me in assigning personnel to make the biggest impact with the manpower we're provided. If the school zone flashing,light grant is provided to the city,-the police department will continue to be an active participant in reducing collisions and the speed of vehicles in school zones.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Skyway Water and Sewer District has approached the City with a proposal to convey a portion of its sanitary sewer flows through a portion of Renton's sewer system, to get to the King County conveyance system. Staff has reviewed the requested action and has applied proposed conditions to such a flow transfer and has prepared a proposed interlocal agreement to memorialize the transfer of flows. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an interlocal agreement between the City and Skyway Water and Sewer District to allow for the conveyance of a portion of the district's flow through the City's system and to adopt the authorizing resolution. H:\File Sys\WWP-WasteWater\WWP-03-0000 Correspondence-Wastewater\davec\Skyway Interlocal Agenda.doc\DMCtp CY C..)\ �� PLANNING/BUILDING/ , PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: June 6, 2006 TO: Randy Corman, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: jitk Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Dave Christensen, Wastewater Utility Supervisor (ext. 7212) SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement between Renton and Skyway Water and Sewer District for the Establishment of Agreement for Conveyance of Wastewater ISSUE: Should the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an interlocal agreement between the City and Skyway Water and Sewer District to allow for the conveyance of a portion of the district's flows through the City's system? RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an interlocal agreement between the City and Skyway Water and Sewer District to allow for the conveyance of a portion of the district's flow through the City's system and to adopt the authorizing resolution. BACKGROUND: The Skyway Water and Sewer District (SWSD) approached the City with a proposal to convey portions of flow from a portion of its sewer service area through Renton's system, to the King County conveyance system. The primary reason that SWSD is requesting to transfer flows is to avoid expensive construction at SR 900 and the need to expand capacity at an existing lift station. The flows from this portion of SWSD's system can flow into Renton's system by gravity, thus eliminating the need for additional pumping. Staff prepared a flow study to determine the impact to our system of accepting the additional flow area. The study concluded that the small additional flow from the SWSD system would have no additional impact on our system. However, this portion of our system will need upgrades over the next 5 to 10 years to ensure that we have capacity within our portion of the system from anticipated growth within the City. Council/SWSD Agreement June 6,2006 Page 2 of 2 Given that the additional flow would not have any additional impact to our system, staff proposed the following conditions for the City to allow for flows to be conveyed through our system: • SWSD will collect and pass on to the City its System Development Charge (SDC) for each property connecting to a wastewater facility that flows into our system. • SWSD will allow the City to review development applications as a part of SWSD's sewer availability process for conformance to Renton's sewer provisions outside the City limits. • SWSD will allow the City to assume any portion of this proposed service area as annexation occurs within the service area. By collecting our SDC's for all new connections, this provides additional capital revenue that can be used to offset the costs of the system improvements we need to do downstream of their connection. Allowing the City to review development applications as part of SWSD's sewer availability process ensures that development in this area will meet the City's proposed land use and densities prior to annexation. Finally, as the area annexes, the City will take over this portion of the system and begin to collect sewer rate revenue as well. CONCLUSION: The agreement between the City and SWSD is beneficial to both parties. SWSD benefits by not needing to construct expensive capital improvements to convey the flows directly to the King County system. The City benefits by collecting additional SDC revenue to offset future capital needs, by reviewing and having approval authority for future developments within the service area, and by assuming the service area and adding additional customer base to our system. As such, staff recommends that the Council approve the execution of this interlocal agreement by the Mayor and City Clerk. cc: Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director H:\File Sys\WWP -WasteWater\WWP-03-0000 Correspondence-Wastewater\davec\Skyway Interlocal Issue.doc\DMCtp CITY OF RENTON AND SKYWAY WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AGREEMENT FOR CONVEYANCE OF WASTEWATER THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this day of 200 , by and between SKYWAY WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT, a Washington municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "SWSD", and the CITY OF RENTON, a Washington municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "RENTON". WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, SWSD is qualified to provide sanitary sewer service within its prescribed area; and WHEREAS, RENTON is qualified to provide public services, including sanitary sewer service, within its prescribed areas; and WHEREAS, SWSD provides sanitary sewer service in an area adjacent to and within a portion of RENTON's corporate boundaries; and WHEREAS, the SWSD and RENTON have an existing sewer boundary agreement dated December 31, 2003; and WHEREAS, it is in the public interest for the parties herein to enter into an agreement to provide for the efficient planning and development of new sanitary sewer services in areas which may be served by either, or both, of the parties; now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1. SWSD Sewer Service Transferring Wastewater Into RENTON Sewer System: The parties agree that, as an alternative to SWSD providing sanitary sewer service to their customers by constructing stand-alone gravity and / or pumping facilities, SWSD may connect a portion of their service area, known as the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA and shown in exhibit "A", which by reference is incorporated herein, to RENTON's sanitary sewer facilities. 2. Conditions of SWSD Utilizing Said Alternative For Sanitary Sewer Service: In the event of such alternate connection, and in consideration thereof, SWSD shall meet the following requirements: A. SWSD shall collect and pass on RENTON's system development charge for properties connecting to a wastewater facility that flows into RENTON's sanitary sewer system. 06/06/2006 Page 1 B. SWSD shall include RENTON review, for land use compliance to Renton Municipal Code 4-6-040C, of all development within the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA, other than one single-family home on an existing lot, as part of its sewer availability process. 3. Transfer of Service Area Upon Annexation: SWSD agrees that RENTON may choose, following the completion of annexation of all or part of the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA to have a portion of the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA turned over to RENTON as its sewer service area. At such time that RENTON notifies SWSD, in writing, that it intends to assume all or part of the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA that has been annexed to RENTON, said written notice, including legal description and/or exhibit map describing the revised sanitary sewer service boundary within the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA, shall be incorporated into this agreement as an addendum and officially revise the service boundary between RENTON and SWSD. 4. Timeline for Transfer: Upon written notification of assumption, SWSD shall, within sixty (60) calendar days, coordinate with RENTON, prepare and mail notification to the property owners, and transfer the account information and the sewer main facilities to RENTON. 5. Sewage Flows and Down Stream Capacity: The sewage flows from the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA, at build out, is calculated to be 312,742 gallons per day (GPD) with a peak flow of 1.45 cubic feet per second (cfs). If the flows from the AGREEMENT SERVICE AREA exceed these estimates, RENTON has the ability to re-evaluate this agreement and may require additional conditions. 6. Construction and Maintenance of Sanitary Sewer Facilities: SWSD and RENTON will each construct and maintain their own facilities, according to industry standards. 7. Remaining Obligations Intact: Nothing herein shall be construed to alter the rights, responsibilities, liabilities or obligations of either RENTON or SWSD pursuant to the 2003 Agreement, previously executed by the parties, except as specifically set forth herein. 8. Miscellaneous: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, concerning the subject matter herein, and there are no representations or oral agreements other than those listed herein, which vary the terms of this Agreement. Future agreements may occur between the parties to identify, agree upon, or transfer service areas and/or facilities. 9 Term of Agreement: This Agreement shall have a term of 50 (Fifty) years. 10. Obligations Intact: Nothing herein shall be construed to alter the rights, responsibilities, liabilities, or obligations of either SWSD or RENTON regarding provisions of sewer service to the properties described herein, or other properties, except as specifically set forth herein. 06/06/2006 Page 2 DATED this day of , 200 .

Date:Mon, 19 Jun 2006 12:37:13-0400 From:"Christina Walsh"<cwalsh@ij.org> Friends: This Friday marks the one-year anniversary of the day that the Supreme Court put every property in America up for grabs to the highest bidder. On June 23, 2005, the Court ruled that private property can be seized through eminent domain for private economic development on the mere possibility of increased tax revenue or jobs. Following the decision, Congressmen James Sensenbrenner and John Conyers-the majority and minority leaders of the House Judiciary Committee -co-sponsored H.R. 4128, the Private Property Rights Protection Act of 2005. This bill will cut off federal economic development funding for governments using the power of eminent domain to take property and transfer it for private commercial development. It will strongly discourage the large numbers of abuses we are now seeing in the wake of Kelo. By a vote of 376 to 38, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4128 on November 3, 2005- and it has remained in the Senate Judiciary Committee untouched ever since. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY and tell them: It's time for the Senate to pass this bill NOW- It's been one year since the Kelo decision and seven months since the House passed H.R. 4128. The Senate needs to do what the Supreme Court was unwilling to do and protect this country's home and small business owners. Any blight exception in the bill must be narrowly defined and only for properties that pose an immediate threat to public health or safety - Most condemnations for economic development take place under the claim that the area is supposedly "blighted." The federal bill has an exception allowing local governments to still receive federal money if it takes properties that are harmful to public health or safety. The question is whether this exception will allow taking only severely troubled properties or whether it will allow cities to take any property just by calling it"blighted." Unless "blight" is narrowly defined as something that is an immediate threat to public health or safety, that term will gut the bill and render it worthless. We strongly encourage you to contact Senators Cantwell and Murray at both their DC and local offices. Voicing your concerns is a very effective and powerful way to show your support for eminent domain reform. The contact information is at the end of this press release. If every single citizen calls his or her senator, this bill will pass! But it will not happen without your voice! With your help, we'll be able to stop tax-hungry governments and 2 of 2 land-hungry developers from seizing private property for their own private purposes. Take a few minutes to protect your home or business and call your senators today! Christina Walsh Assistant Castle Coalition Coordinator Institute for Justice 901 N.
