He presented Police Chief Milosevich with some commemorative items and a check in the amount of$13,500,which Chief Milosevich accepted with appreciation. AJLS: Mayor's Presentation of Mayor Keolker presented her proposed City of Renton 2007 Budget to Renton 2007 Budget citizens and members of the City Council. She indicated that she worked hard to address the priorities and needs of the Council, employees, and community. The Mayor reported that the proposed 2007 Budget totals $210,861,478. Of that total, $58,572,956 represents the capital budgets, which is 62 percent more than last year. The budget anticipates sales tax revenues to grow by 5 percent over 2006 actual receipts. She recommended a modest increase in utility rates to pay for maintenance and needed capital improvements, and minor increases in certain user fees. Mayor Keolker further recommended the use of prior year budget savings of just over$400,000 to fund one-time investments in City programs such as replacement of firefighting equipment and purchase of vehicles to support the needs of additional staff. October 23,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 359 Mayor Keolker reviewed the 2006 accomplishments, including: the groundbreaking for The Landing project; the completion of IKEA's 36,000 square foot retail space addition;the commencement of construction of the Federal Reserve's cash processing facility; the announced plans of the Seattle Seahawks to move their headquarters and training facilities to Renton; the commencement of construction of a new ten-acre neighborhood park in the Highlands; the opening of the new Maplewood Water Treatment Facility; the improvement in the City's credit rating; and the implementation of RENSTAT, a program that utilizes computer statistics to focus police where they are needed most,and E-police, an online web-based police reporting system. Turning to mandatory cost increases, Mayor Keolker indicated that the most significant impact was the change in retirement system contributions established by the state. Contributions will increase by an average of 44.5 percent in 2007. She noted that the City's energy bill is estimated to increase by $95,000 in 2007, and that costs related to the retirement system rate and the Valley Communications Center emergency communications system for the fire and police departments have increased. Overall, approximately 11 percent of the increase to the operating budget is the result of mandatory cost increases. In regards to maintaining service levels, the Mayor explained that while Renton's population has grown over the past several years,partly due to small annexations and new construction, the ratio of employees per thousand has declined since 2001. She proposed adding 18 employees, an increase of just over 2 percent above the current number. Mayor Keolker reviewed other key additions to the budget that address service levels such as legal assistance, recruitment advertising, and software upgrades. Mayor Keolker stated that the budget includes initiatives that will leverage resources in several ways in regards to public safety. The budget proposes adding resources for the aquatic programs to increase the hours of operation. The budget includes an increase to the human services grants, which puts the City back in line with the 1 percent human services funding target set several years ago. Additionally, the budget includes funds to provide gateway and "way-finding" signage for the downtown area, and provides for a study of ways to connect the downtown to areas such as The Landing, Southport, and Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Continuing,the Mayor said the budget includes a nearly $22 million increase in capital improvement projects from 2006. The projects, including the SW 27th St. connection to Strander Blvd., the precision approach at the Renton Airport, the Sam Chastain Waterfront Trail, and the new Hazen 565 Zone reservoir and treatment facility, total nearly $58.6 million. In conclusion, Mayor Keolker expressed her appreciation for the advice and guidance provided by the Council, for the efforts of City staff, and the ideas offered by the Renton community. She stated that the City's finances are sound enough to move forward with these operating and capital recommendations, and that it is time to make the necessary changes to the budget to ensure the momentum continues in meeting the City's business plan goals and objectives. Finance and Information Services Administrator Michael Bailey explained how the actual budget document is organized, and how changes to the budget are identified. He pointed out that the budget documents are available for review at the City Clerk's Office and will soon be posted to the City's website. Councilman Persson noted the arrival of Council President Corman at 7:39 p.m. October 23,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 360 PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in AJLS: Initiative 933 accordance with local and state laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public meeting (Government Regulation of to consider state Initiative 933. Assistant CAO Marty Wine explained that the Private Property) City invited both a proponent and an opponent of I-933 to each make a five- minute presentation of their positions before Council this evening. The initiative, which will go before voters to be decided in November, has the following ballot wording: "This measure would require compensation when government regulation damages the use or value of private property, would forbid regulations that prohibit existing legal uses of private property, and would provide exceptions or payments." The invited proponent was unable to attend the meeting and submitted a statement to be read into the record. Jay Arnold, a representative of the "No on I-933" campaign, spoke against the initiative. He stated that under the initiative, a City is not allowed to regulate the size, scope, and intensity of development without compensation, and any zoning laws have to apply equally across a jurisdiction. Mr. Arnold explained that by its very nature, zoning treats different property differently, and different types of zoning are encouraged in different areas of a City. He indicated that cities' lack of ability to set standards will negatively affect residential and downtown areas. Regarding compensation, Mr. Arnold reviewed the potential cost to the state, saying that the initiative will cause cuts in education and transportation. In terms of the legal impacts, he claimed that I-933 is poorly written and filled with loopholes. The initiative's "pay or waive" system allows for claims to go back at least ten years, which leads to frivolous lawsuits. Mr. Arnold pointed out that taxpayers will incur the legal costs. He concluded that the initiative will lead to irresponsible development,more traffic, and a rollback of environmental protections. A statement submitted by initiative proponents Dan Wood and Patrick Connor, representatives of the Washington Farm Bureau, was read into the record. The proponents indicated that farmers and other property owners, especially in rural areas, are being hurt by land use regulations. I-933 would do the following: • Require that before state or local governments enact new regulations which might damage the use or value of private property, they must consider the effects on private property and evaluate whether voluntary, cooperative, non-regulatory alternatives could meet the goal of the regulation instead; • Provides that if restrictions damaging the use or value of property are enacted primarily to provide a public benefit, such as open space or wildlife habitat,then the regulating jurisdiction must pay for the damage or modify the restriction so it does not cause damage; • Prohibits regulations which restrict property owners'rights to protect their property from fire, flooding, erosion or other natural disasters; and • Prohibits regulations which require property to be left in a natural state, or regulations that prevent maintenance or the removal of trees and vegetation. The statement indicated that the initiative would not repeal any existing state or local laws,and it listed circumstances whereby I-933 would not apply. Regarding the costs, the statement indicated that initiative opponents' estimates are unsupported by fact or logic. It was noted that not one jurisdiction in Oregon has paid a claim(Oregon's Measure 37 was enacted two years ago), and successful claims in Oregon have been resolved through a waiver process. October 23,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 361 At the end of the allotted five-minute time period, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL ALLOW THE REST OF THE STATEMENT TO BE READ AND THEN GIVE AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF TIME TO THE OPPONENT. CARRIED. In regards to waivers, the proponents said that while variances, exemptions, and modifications may have different meanings or applications than "waivers" in the eyes of the opposition's analysts,anyone familiar with local government knows that great latitude exists in how regulations are crafted and enforced. Indicating that state and local governments can achieve the goals of managing growth and protecting the environment without damaging private property, it was pointed out that a host of non-cash compensatory mechanisms already exist. Regarding the legal impacts, the statement indicated that local government has much more to fear from litigation it already suffers under the existing Growth Management Act than it should expect under I-933. Thus,the initiative may provide property owners and local governments with a stronger defense against litigation. Opponent Jay Arnold was allowed five additional minutes to speak on I-933 as per Council's motion. He pointed out that cities and counties in Oregon have incurred administrative costs in processing and evaluating claims associated with Measure 37. Mr. Arnold further pointed out examples of land uses that have taken place in Oregon as a result of issued waivers. He noted that zoning decisions made since 1996 are potential compensation claims. In conclusion, he stated that over 200 organizations oppose the initiative and he asked that Council do the same. Correspondence was read from Steve Butler, American Planning Association Washington Chapter President, urging Council to adopt a resolution opposing Initiative 933. He pointed out that the poorly-drafted, over-reaching initiative is a threat to the vitality of the state's economy, the quality of its environment, and the livability of its cities. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. Councilman Clawson acknowledged that people in rural areas do have problems with buffers and setbacks, and noted that these regulations should be addressed through the legislative process. Saying that I-933 will penalize the City for downzoning, he explained that there is nothing to prevent a developer who purchased low-density property after the zoning regulations were adopted from suing the City,potentially resulting in a high-density development. Additionally, Mr. Clawson stated that the City's aquifer is vulnerable to chemical contamination, and facilities such as dry cleaners were moved from Aquifer Protection Area, Zone 1. He expressed concern that the initiative has the potential to negatively affect this protected area. Councilman Clawson stressed that the initiative is not well-written and may be harmful to the people of Renton. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY BRIERE, COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION OPPOSING I-933. CARRIED. (See page 364 for resolution.) ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond.

She spoke on the subject of Renton Proposition 1, initiative measure concerning fireworks, which will go before voters on November 7. Ms. Madson read the against statement listed in the King County Local Voter's Pamphlet, which encourages voters to vote no on this initiative, as a no vote will keep Renton's ban on the sale and discharge of all fireworks within the City intact. Additionally, Ms. Madson read a statement from Firefighters Local 864,which also encourages voters to vote against Proposition 1. Reporting that the repeal of the fireworks ban is fueled by fireworks lobbyists, she stressed that the ban on fireworks is not unpatriotic. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL ALLOW THE SPEAKER FIVE MORE MINUTES. CARRIED. Ms. Madson stated that the Renton- and business-sponsored fourth of July fireworks event brings the community together and is very patriotic. She pointed out that the fireworks discharge hours would increase from 15 (pre-ban) to more than 60 if this initiative passes. Councilwoman Briere reiterated that the initiative allows more fireworks discharge hours than Renton allowed prior to its ban on fireworks. Councilman Persson indicated that Proposition 1 will limit the City's ability to regulate firework stands, which could be problematic.

We all know it as "the center of opportunity in the Puget Sound Region—where businesses and families thrive."I am pleased to present to you a balanced budget for 2007,which accelerates the momentum we've worked to achieve, and moves us forward to even greater success. A budget is not just about balancing the city's checkbook.Not only does it reflect the values and priorities of those who formulate and approve it,the budget should also reflect the values and priorities of our community. Earlier this year, I asked the City Council for your budget priorities. You responded by indicating your top priorities and asked that the 2007 budget do the following: • Uphold the excellent levels of services we provide, while we continue to grow through development and annexations. • Provide resources to develop an effective approach to emergency preparedness and disaster management. • Focus on our downtown and ensure it continues to thrive as the"heart"of Renton. • Encourage citywide development—particularly The Landing. • Emphasize safety in our downtown and in our neighborhoods. • Take care of our community and fund our human service needs. I also asked a group of our employees to provide input on the budget and city priorities. They take pride in the service they provide, but are concerned that their ability to do so in the future may be hampered by being stretched too thin. During 2006, we've kept track of comments, concerns, and suggestions from local business leaders and people who live in our neighborhoods. They want a thriving business climate with opportunities for growing their customer base and clean, safe neighborhoods. 1055 South Grady Way-Renton,Washington 98057-(425)430-6500/FAX(425)430-6523 RENTON „ AHEAD OF THE CURVE City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Binet Message With our proposed 2007 budget, you will see that we have worked hard to address these priorities and needs. The proposed budget also implements needed improvements in capital projects and general operations. It does so while keeping property tax increases to one percent and adds new construction and annexations to the tax base. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2007 BUDGET The 2007 budget totals$210,861,478. Of that total, $58,572,956 represents our capital budgets for 2007, which is 62%more than last year. I am also projecting that in 2007 we will have an ending balance of our general government fund of approximately$1 million more than our policy target. This will position us well for 2008. While these numbers represent an ambitious capital improvement plan,they also signify a responsible approach so that we can continue to provide the high quality services Renton residents have grown to expect. The 2007 budget anticipates sales tax revenues to grow by 5%over 2006 actual receipts. I believe this is a reasonable estimate, especially when we compare it to the nearly 11% growth in 2006 sales tax revenues over 2005. This unprecedented growth is no accident. We have worked hard to create a vibrant economy in Renton. We've seen continued economic development and a revitalization of our downtown. We've created a climate for job growth and economic opportunities that benefit the entire community. We are moving Renton forward. I am recommending a modest increase in our utility rates to pay for maintenance and needed capital improvements. The budget also calls for minor increases in certain user fees to ensure that our residents receive the quality services they expect. I am further recommending the use of prior year budget savings of just over$400,000 to fund one-time investments in city programs such as replacement of fire fighting equipment and purchase of vehicles to support the needs of additional staff. Before addressing the specifics of how the 2007 budget will move Renton forward, it is important to briefly consider the significant successes and progress we achieved in 2006. 2006 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Promoting Citywide Economic Development - In August,we celebrated the groundbreaking for The Landing. The Landing will change the way Renton is perceived and will be a catalyst for future development in our community. 2 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message - Providence Health Systems made Renton their home with offices in the Southgate Office Park. - IKEA completed an addition of 36,000 square feet of retail space, making the Renton IKEA the largest single-story IKEA store in the world and the highest grossing IKEA store in North America. - The Federal Reserve commenced construction on its state-of-the art cash processing facility. - The Seattle Seahawks' announced plans to move their headquarters and training facilities to Renton. - Conner Homes broke ground on their 20-acre luxury lakefront residential development just south of the Seahawks site. - We will soon be rolling out the red carpet as we launch our very own DVD showcasing Renton as the"Center of Opportunity." And the list goes on! Revitalizing Our Neighborhoods and Communities - We tentatively secured a$1.2 million Federal transportation grant for the Sam Chastain Waterfront Trail and we are well on our way to securing the nearly$5 million required to complete this trail. We are leveraging every Renton dollar with nearly ten dollars of grant money. - We're constructing a new 10-acre neighborhood park in the Highlands. - From tree plantings to Clean and Green Saturdays to Clean Sweep Renton, we're working to keep our city beautiful and protect our environment. - In Community Services alone,we have over 1,700 volunteers contributing the equivalent of over$370,000 worth of services. We have achieved unprecedented success in our volunteer programs and our neighborhood outreach efforts. And the list goes on! Managing our Infrastructure and Planning for Growth - We have been working diligently with regional agencies to promote Renton projects and get them funded. In 2007, construction will begin on$300 million in improvements to the I-405 and SR 169 corridors through Renton. - We made major improvements to the intersection of Duvall Ave. NE and Sunset Blvd. NE. We have also obtained a$4.7 million grant for the SW 27th/Strander Blvd. project. - We opened the new Maplewood Water Treatment Facility to provide high quality drinking water and meet our future water needs. - We obtained an improvement in the city's credit rating -this reduces costs when we borrow money for these important projects. And the list goes on! 3 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message Contributing to the Livability of our Community Critically important to the city of Renton and our quality of life are public safety services. In 2006,we took several steps to strengthen our law enforcement efforts: - We implemented our RENSTAT program, which utilizes computer statistics to focus police where they are needed most. - We have strengthened REACT(Renton Enhanced Abatement and Code Enforcement Team)to include a weekly"hot list"that identifies and resolves the top ten concerns. REACT's multi-departmental approach addresses community problems through non- traditional methods. - We implemented E-police, an online web-based police reporting system. Since we started testing this in May 2006,we have already saved over 150 hours of commissioned police officers'time. - We participated in a weeklong, intensive session of emergency management training at the FEMA training center in Emmitsburg,Maryland,to better prepare us for emergencies. And the list goes on! MOVING RENTON FORWARD We have done well but we have much more to accomplish. This budget is not filled with new initiatives but instead focuses on shoring up our foundation and continuing to deliver the top quality services our citizens and businesses expect and deserve. This wasn't made any easier by several mandatory cost increases we also had to address. The good news is that we have increased revenue, and along with our ongoing commitment to increasing our efficiency, that offers us some options. Fortunately,our growth allows us to pay for some unavoidable, significant increases in basic costs and still provide the services that are critical to our quality of life. Mandatory Cost Increases The most significant impact to our mandatory costs was the change in retirement system contributions established by the State of Washington. Most cities in Washington are part of the statewide Public Employees Retirement System and pay into that system at rates set by the State. The State has adjusted its funding and, as a consequence, contributions to the retirement system will increase by an average of 44.5%in 2007,or an increase of over$635,000 of general government contributions alone. This is anticipated to continue in 2008 with another 44% increase,resulting in an increase over two years of just over$1.8 million. We've worked hard to conserve energy. We are converting our standard traffic signal lamps to energy saving light emitting diodes(LED)that use less electricity, and we've purchased high 4 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message efficiency pumps to reduce power bills by 20% in 2006. Despite these measures, our energy costs are rising. The city's energy bill is estimated to increase by$95,000 in 2007. Mandatory cost increases in the Police Department include an increase of$176,627 to the emergency communications system operated by Valley Comm. Additionally, the overtime benefits budget increased by$142,560 due to the retirement system rate increase. The Fire Department also saw mandatory cost increases including retirement system costs on the overtime budget of the department and the Valley Comm increases. These mandatory costs totaled $62,000. Overall, approximately 11%of the increase to our operating budget is the result of mandatory costs increases. Maintaining Service Levels While we have seen our population grow over the past several years,partly due to small annexations and new construction, the ratio of employees per thousand has declined since 2001. We have focused on efficiency and we've worked very hard to stretch every dollar. But we've reached the point where we can't continue to provide good service unless we add more people. Our employees work hard to maintain our quality of life here in Renton and they are proud of what they are able to accomplish.But they told us and the Council told us that we're stretched too thin and need to add some resources so we are proposing to do that. The chart below illustrates a couple of key points. Population City Emplyees Per 1,000 Population Employees/1,000 65,000 — - 7.5 60,000 — - 7 55,000 — - 6.5 50,000 — - 6 45,000 — - 5.5 40,000 — - 5 35,000 — - 4.5 30,000 I I t I I I I I I I I I 4 NM Population 0� 06cb (13 �A A0� cb 00 0N 0�' 00 0�` 0� 0 OA --r--Public Safety —a—Other Additional Staff Resources Overall, this budget recommends adding six public safety employees—four in our Police Department and two in our Fire Department. It also recommends adding 12 employees in other areas of the city for a total increase of 18 employees, or an increase of just over 2% above our current number. 5 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message For public safety, this includes two additional police officers mid-year, two jail transport officers, one emergency management coordinator, and one administrative support staff member for the Fire Department. To maintain our basic services,we propose a street maintenance worker, a construction inspector, a parks worker, a librarian, and workers for water maintenance and surface water maintenance. For our solid waste programs, our budget includes a half-time position to keep our "Clean Sweep"and other programs viable. For the upcoming CIP projects we are including a two-year limited term project manager in our Community Services Department. To ensure that we provide the best and most efficient services possible,we are adding one analyst and one administrative support staff person in our Human Resources Department, one additional staff support position for growing Information Systems needs, and one half-time records specialist in the City Clerk's office. In Finance, we are adding an investment analyst. If this employee improves investment returns by half a percentage point,it will result in a net increase in revenue of$80,000. Please refer to your budget documents for the specific changes and the needs they address. In addition to the positions previously mentioned,there are several other key additions to the budget that address service levels. The legal budget will receive an additional $20,000 to assist with costs associated with the REACT nuisance abatement program. The HR&Risk Management budget includes an additional$15,000 to offset increased costs of recruitment such as advertising. In addition, funds are provided to hire public defense in those cases where a conflict of interest exists. We are also including improvements to the financial systems used by the city to standardize and streamline processes. The software upgrades that will enable these changes will cost$35,909. Finally,the State mandates that the city conduct a door-to-door census to determine the population of each area the city annexes. Due to the large annexations anticipated to become effective in 2007 and the loss of a part-time employee the city had used for past census operations, this budget includes $75,000 to conduct this work. Moving Forward with Public Safety I mentioned earlier that it is important that we keep our community safe. In addition to the police officers,jail transport, and emergency management positions identified above, this budget includes initiatives that will leverage our resources in several ways. 6 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message We plan to train one or two volunteers in 2007 to help with the enforcement of the disabled parking spaces. We anticipate that the revenues this will generate will be sufficient to add a vehicle that program volunteers can use. It will also help ensure that these spaces are reserved for those who truly need them. The Police Department will be billing employers the full cost of"off-duty"employment for those private events where a police officer is requested. The department will address safety concerns by pursuing a traffic enforcement system to monitor drivers running red lights at intersections. This system is successfully being used in many communities and has no financial risk to the City. Earlier this year, Chief Milosevich implemented the Special Operations Division by combining the current Bicycle Patrol Officers with our REACT officers. This group, consisting of two sergeants and 12 officers, will eventually be housed within the Downtown Parking Garage precinct office, and will be responsible for pro-active response to law enforcement issues citywide. We will also continue to divert our school resource officers to the downtown Transit Center before and after school as needed. Moving Forward to Create Livability Our aquatic programs continue to attract national attention. In 2006,4,700 more people visited the Henry Moses Aquatic Center than in 2005, and gross revenues increased by$79,000. In 2006,we added funds to provide night lighting for the Henry Moses Aquatic Center. The 2007 budget proposes adding resources for our aquatic programs to increase our hours of operation. While we expect some additional fees to be generated, there will be a net budget impact of $66,200. As you know, I co-chaired the King County Healthy Families Task Force. This group defined unmet needs for human services countywide. Renton is known as a regional leader in many areas and I believe we need to increase our support for those less fortunate. Therefore, I am proposing an increase of$157,000 to our Human Services grants. This amount will fund all the projects recommended in 2007 by our Human Services Advisory Committee. This additional funding puts us back in line with the 1% for Human Services funding target we set several years ago. We will also be receiving an additional $11,683 in housing repair assistance from the federal government,which we are adding to the budget. Moving Forward to Promote Economic Growth and Neighborhood Revitalization Downtown Renton is the heart of our city. By making the right investments for downtown we are laying a solid foundation for its future enhancement and vitality. As The Landing emerges to the north, it is even more essential that we do something to create a stronger identity for our downtown and encourage shoppers and visitors to explore all that Downtown Renton has to offer. 7 ammimm City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message The budget includes funds to provide gateway and "way-finding" signage for downtown. It also provides for a study of ways to effectively connect the downtown to The Landing, Southport, and Coulon Park, initially, and in the future to the Sounder commuter rail station at Longacres and possibly north to Port Quendall. This study will explore the feasibility of various options, including enhancement of an intra-city shuttle bus or development of some other form of transit technology. The total available for these efforts is $300,000, funded from our general governmental CIP. We have identified funds that are needed to assist with the planning efforts associated with the large pending annexations. However, money for the more significant land-use planning and infrastructure needs assessments is expected to come from an agreement with King County. As the agreement is not complete, the budget does not include these funds. Should King County agree to fund these efforts,we will bring them to the Council as an amendment to the budget. Moving Forward to Complete Major Capital Projects This budget includes a nearly$22 million increase in capital improvement projects from 2006. We are in the middle of the most ambitious transportation CIP ever implemented in this city, as well as some significant parks, facilities, and utilities projects. Please refer to your budget documents for the specific projects and budgets. Major highlights of CIP projects include: Transportation-large projects such as the SW 27th Street Connection to Strander Blvd., South Lake Washington roadway improvements,widening Duvall Ave NE, and multi-modal transit improvements on Hardie Ave SW. Airport—precision approach to make our airport safer in all weather conditions,one building demolition, completing the new north and south entrances to the airfield. General Governmental-the Sam Chastian Waterfront Trail and the Springbrook Creek Wetland Mitigation Bank Trail, CIP projects for major parks and facilities maintenance, Information Services capital projects to increase our efficiency and keep us technologically competitive. Utilities-the new Hazen 565 Zone reservoir and treatment facility, intertie connections, water and sewer main rehabilitation and replacements, emergency power facilities, lift station replacement and rehabilitation,water treatment facility in Kennydale, Springbrook Creek improvements, and drainage and emergency storm projects. This impressive list totals nearly$58.6 million. Moving forward to complete these projects will further provide the infrastructure Renton needs to continue our progress toward becoming ". . . the center of opportunity in the Puget Sound Region—where businesses and families can thrive." 8 City of Renton 2007 Mayor's Budget Message TO SUMMARIZE We faced many challenges in developing this budget. Initially we felt we would be hard pressed to address the many needs our thriving city is facing. However, I am convinced that our finances are sound enough to move forward with these recommendations—both operating and capital. Councilmembers, employees, business leaders and citizens have all expressed similar thoughts about what we need to do to keep our city livable. It is time to make the necessary changes to our budget to ensure that we continue our momentum in meeting our business plan goals and objectives. I want to thank the City Council for your advice and guidance. I want to thank our hardworking city staff for their efforts in helping develop an ambitious budget plan for 2007. I want to thank the community for continuing to offer ideas about how to make Renton even better. I know it will be another successful year of accomplishments as we work together to implement all the ideas that this budget represents.

Dear Mayor and Council Members: Thank you for inquiring about I-933, the Property Fairness Initiative. We are pleased to submit the following response to be read into the record. Washington Farm Bureau is a 34,000 farm-family member organization Initiative 933 was written by representing the social and economic interests of this state's agricultural farmers,for farmers, to help producers. Keep YOUR Farm Alive. Our members are finding it increasingly difficult to remain in business due to no-touch buffers, habitat set asides and other land use regulations limiting their ability to responsibly farm their land. In essence, farmers and ranchers are being told to stay off their own private property in order to FOR MORE INFORMATION,CONTACT: provide some public benefit, all at their own expense. J.PATRICK BATTS And it's not just farmers that are being hurt by these types of regulations. WASHINGTON FARM BUREAU Property owners across the state—especially in rural areas —are facing ADMINISTRATIVE VICE PRESIDENT devastating losses as a result of top-down regulatory schemes being dictated (360)357-9975 primarily by unelected Growth Management Hearings Boards. DAN WOOD Farm Bureau drafted the Property Fairness Initiative in response. WASHINGTON FARM BUREAU GOVERNMENT RELATIONS DIRECTOR So what would I-933 do? (360)528-2909 • I-933 requires that before state or local governments enact new PATRICK CONNOR regulations which might damage the use or value of private property, WASHINGTON FARM BUREAU they must consider the effects on private property and evaluate whether DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH voluntary, cooperative, non-regulatory alternatives could meet the goal (360)357-9975 of the regulation instead. • I-933 provides that if restrictions damaging the use or value of property are enacted primarily to provide a public benefit, such as open space or wildlife habitat, then the regulating jurisdiction must pay for the damage or modify the restriction so it does not cause damage. Basically, if private land is taken for the public good, the public ought to pay for it. • I-933 prohibits regulations which restrict property owners' rights to protect their property from fire, flooding, erosion or other natural disasters. • I-933 also prohibits regulations which require property to be left in a natural state, or regulations that prevent maintenance or the removal of PROPERTY FAIRNESS COALITION trees and vegetation. PO BOX 2446 OLYMPIA,WA 98507 I-933 would not repeal any existing state or local laws. Nor would it apply www.propertyfairness.com in the following circumstances: Property Fairness Coalition October 2006 Letter to municipalities re: I-933 Page 2 of 4 EXEMPTIONS • Restricting the use of property when necessary to prevent an immediate threat to human health and safety; • Building codes to prevent harm from earthquakes, flooding, fire, and other similar situations; • Limiting the location or operation of sex offender housing or adult entertainment; • Requiring adherence to chemical use restrictions that have been adopted by the EPA; • Worker health and safety laws or regulations and wage and hour laws; or • Setbacks from property lines that were adopted before January 1, 1996. The opposition has characterized the Property Fairness Initiative as a "pay or waive"policy that government and taxpayers can ill afford. And they have financed studies to bolster their outrageous claims. As you are likely aware, the Association of Washington Cities, which is opposed to I-933, claims that cities will bear 50 to 60 percent of the cost to compensate damaged property owners should I-933 pass. They estimate that cost to be in the billions. The Governor's Office of Financial Management relied in large part on AWC's estimate when preparing its fiscal note. These estimates are unsupported by facts or logic. In fact, a report critical of Oregon's Measure 37, financed by the Brainerd Foundation whose president has contributed at least$100,000 to the"No on 933"campaign, shows that less than 1.4 percent of all Measure 37 claims filed to date have been against a city or a city along with another public entity. If data collected by the opposition shows that all Oregon cities combined have faced only 42 claims in the nearly two years since Measure 37 was enacted, why should we expect Washington cities will fare differently and be forced to bear more than half of the alleged cost of compensation? It is also important to note that not one jurisdiction in Oregon has paid a claim. Successful claims in Oregon have been resolved through a waiver process. I-933 opponents initially complained that allowing waivers in our state would undermine a community's ability to plan and zone appropriately, leading to incompatible and undesirable uses in our neighborhoods. When it was pointed out that the Planning Enabling Act was passed decades ago and most counties and cities used it to produce zoning codes and development regulations, enacted well prior to 1996—none of which would be affected by 1-933, and that cities and counties were required to comply with the first round of GMA-mandated land use regulations by the mid-90s, also prior to the 1996 look back period, they changed their tune. Now, the opponents claim that the Property Fairness Initiative may not actually allow jurisdictions to grant waivers. But that too rings hollow. A recent opposition-funded study by the UW's Northwest Center for Livable Communities Property Fairness Coalition October 2006 Letter to municipalities re: I-933 Page 3 of 4 explains that "[z]oning regulations have always permitted variances," and that "[v]ariances from the Shorelines Management Act (`SMA') are also allowed ...." That report goes on to say that "[b]oth the SMA and State Environmental Policy Act (`SEPA') provide that certain enumerated uses are exempt from procedural requirements." Moreover, "[m]ost critical areas ordinances (CAOs) adopted under the authority of the GMA ... allow the local government to modify regulations under certain circumstances." While variances, exemptions, and modifications may have different meanings or applications than "waivers" in the eyes of the opposition's analysts, anyone familiar at all with local government knows that there exists great latitude in how regulations are crafted and enforced. More importantly, we must remember that there is another choice. State and local governments can achieve the goals of managing growth and protecting the environment without damaging private property. A host of non-cash compensatory mechanisms already exist, which could be used to avoid damaging the use or value of private property by regulations. Off-site mitigation, mitigation banking, transferable development rights, clustering, density bonuses, public/private land swaps, property tax incentives, and site requirement adjustments are only a few of the options already available to government. In fact, GMA encourages their use. And when areas inside urban growth boundaries are "up-zoned," there is no reason why a portion of the resulting property tax windfall could not be used to offset the adverse impacts to those "down-zoned" elsewhere. These mechanisms are not untried, pie-in-the-sky, wishful thinking. They work and are being used in a few areas of the state now. So what about the opposition's claims that I-933 will lead to endless litigation and permit- processing gridlock? The threat of litigation is certainly very real. In fact, the same people opposing 933 will be responsible for many of the lawsuits filed. But that is nothing new. A look at any Growth Management Hearings Board docket reads like a Who's Who of the opposition's contributors. For example, it was a lawsuit by the Washington Environmental Council that resulted in Jefferson County's proposed 450-foot "default" buffer regulations. Futurewise is a key player in the legal challenges to Thurston County's comprehensive plan update that led to proposals for five-fold increases in average buffer width and a plan to down-zone more than 40 percent of the rural property in that county. Local groups affiliated with and/or funded by these and other activist environmental groups opposed to I-933 have also brought us new habitat set-asides in Stevens and Ferry counties for species that are neither threatened nor endangered. In fact, one of these newly"protected" species, caribou, has never even been seen in this state. That is just a small sample of some of the litigation already underway thanks to I-933's Property Fairness Coalition October 2006 Letter to municipalities re: I-933 Page 4 of 4 opponents. And taxpayers have been forced to pick up the tab. These and other environmentalist-led legal challenges to rules and regulations adopted by local governments have already resulted in planning and permit-processing gridlock under GMA. Moratoria have been imposed in numerous jurisdictions across the state including, the City of Sammamish and Thurston, Mason, Lewis, and Pacific counties. Litigation against the City of Kent gutted that community's own site-specific, locally produced best available science in favor of one-size-fits-all, off-the-shelf"science" from state agencies. Local government has much more to fear from litigation it already suffers under the existing growth management regime, including a further erosion of local control over land use decisions, than it should expect under I-933. In fact, I-933 may well provide property owners and local governments with a stronger defense against litigation from activist environmentalist groups seeking to substitute their world view for community decisions made at the local level by duly elected representatives of the people. As former local elected officials ourselves, we know first-hand the challenges you face trying to balance growth and economic development, environmental protection and respect for property rights. We also know how creative and resourceful local officials can be when freed from the mandates and edicts of overreaching bureaucrats. And we honestly believe that I-933, the Property Fairness Initiate, will help restore balance, fairness and local control to our state's growth management structure. We appreciate the time and dedication you offer serving the voters who have put their faith in you. We hope that you will strongly consider endorsing I-933, the Property Fairness Initiative.

Respectfully submitted, ) t4c.1 aea4A4r: Dan Wood Patrick Connor Former County Commissioner Former Councilman and Mayor pro tempore Grays Harbor County City of Hoquiam X0-023-a6 Agenda IIr,n S' From: "'Steve Butler"' <connerbutler@comcast.net> Crvrres Ondc/1c c To: <council@ci.renton.wa.us> 'or & lc Mee—lb/ Date: 10/22/2006 9:07:41 PM OA I.-9. j' Subject: Councilmembers October 22, 2006 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Renton 1055 S. Grady Way. Renton, WA 98057 Dear Mayor Keolker and Councilmembers: On behalf of the Washington Chapter of the American Planning Association, I write to urge the Renton City Council to adopt a resolution to oppose 1-933, the so-called "Property Fairness" Initiative. This misguided, misleading, poorly drafted, and over-reaching initiative constitutes a serious threat to the vitality of our state's economy, the quality of its environment, and the livability of its cities. 1-933 is modeled on "Measure 37", the infamous property rights law passed by Oregon voters two years ago. Although there are some important differences between the two(which actually make Washington's version much more problematic), the common thread is a simple and clever legal scheme called "pay or waive." "Pay or waive"schemes far exceed the well-established constitutional protections against unreasonable regulatory takings, including federal case law precedent for the past 80 years. Such extreme "property rights laws"amend state statutes to dramatically lower the bar for when compensation must be paid to enforce any restrictions or limitations on property use and value- regardless of how small the limitation or how important the public protection. When an owner claims that a regulation restricts or limits the value or use of property, 1-933 would compel the community to choose between paying taxpayer dollars to enforce the law or else waiving those requirements. Sensible local requirements to limit building heights, reduce traffic congestion, and require the dedication of open space would be attacked. Neighborhood nuisance uses would become even more difficult to prevent. 1-933 would create turmoil in the real estate market, due to the uncertainty of what can be built where. When Measure 37 passed in Oregon, the Oregon Association of Realtors was so concerned about potential liability for its agents that it lobbied the legislature to require that a disclaimer notice be placed on all real estate transactions. The disclaimer essentially states that no representation is being made about what could happen on adjacent properties. The Association of Washington Cities estimates that 1-933 payouts could cost taxpayers a staggering $3.5 to$4.5 billion. This works out to between $2,400 and $3,000 per city household. That doesn't even count future years or the cost of the added bureaucracy needed to administer 1-933. These are tax dollars that could be better spent on quality schools, parks, roads, libraries, and public safety for better neighborhoods. The primary backers of 1-933 are the Washington State Farm Bureau and the Building Industry Association of Washington. These are the same two organizations that supported the last attempt to impose a "pay to regulate"system on our state in 1995. That proposal was rejected by Washington voters by 60 percent to 40 percent. Opposing 1-933 are over a hundred organizations, including the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women Voters, the Nature Conservancy, the Washington State Council of Firefighters, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Spokane Neighborhood Association. 1/4- Despite its name, the Farm Bureau does not speak for all farmers. 1-933 is opposed by hundreds of family farmers and farming organizations including Skagitonians to Preserve Farmland, the Western Washington Agricultural Association, the United Farmworkers and Woodward Canyon Wineries of Walla Walla. Resolutions in opposition to 1-933 have been passed by the city councils of Auburn, Newcastle, Olympia, Shoreline, and Snoqualmie. The cities of Bellevue, Burien, Des Moines, Edmonds, Kirkland, Lakewood, Mercer Island, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Puyallup, Redmond, Sammamish, SeaTac, and Tumwater have also scheduled hearings during September and October. More are expected to follow. We urge you to join the chorus of city councils who recognize that 1-933 would be a disastrous choice for our state and adopt a resolution urging your citizens to reject this seriously flawed initiative.

Trick or Treat at local businesses from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and celebrate at the "Olde" Halloween Party from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m., outdoors in Main Street Square (enter on Main between 2nd and 3rd Streets across from Uptown Glassworks). Free games, food, and ghoulish music. Don't have a costume yet? Build one for free at the party! • The Planning Commission will move its regular meeting into the community to hear a short presentation by the East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force regarding their work on future zoning and planning issues for the East Renton Plateau area and to provide an Open House on zoning issues for residents of the area. The meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 2nd, at Liberty High School Commons (16655 SE 136th Street). FIRE DEPARTMENT • In support of Fire Prevention Week (October 8-14), the Fire Department conducted smoke detector checks at the Highlands Mobile Home Park (3612 NE 4th Street) on October 7. Flyers announcing the visit were distributed to residents in advance. The Fire Department installed several free smoke detectors and batteries, as most homes in the park were lacking working units. The program was continued on October 14 with smoke detector checks at the Sunset View Apartments (2121 SW Sunset Boulevard). • The Renton Fire Department crews will be visible in the community on Halloween evening. To increase trick-or-treater safety, crews will be distributing over 2,000 glow necklaces in Renton neighborhoods between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. In the past, this has been a very popular program with our young citizens and their parents. • Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery: the Renton Fire Department would like to remind everyone to change the batteries in your smoke alarms when you set your clocks back one hour with the end of Daylight Savings Time, which will occur at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, October 29th. Working smoke alarms cut the risk of death in a home fire by 50 percent. In home fires where the home was equipped with smoke alarms and the device failed, it was most often due to missing, disconnected, or dead batteries. /‘//01/61 6-17-ALIILZI—i Wl�h lUQI/ io/2 32oo4 Sir Cedric Condominiums The Sir Cedric Condominiums Homeowners'Asso- Repair and Restoration Project dation is currently completing the first major resi- dential renewal project in the Renton Highlands. 3233 NE 12th St, Renton This$1.4r million,six-month project will include repairing rot,removing and replacing existing sid- Partners ing with horizontal lap siding,repairing decks,and Project Architect: Kilburn Architects, LLC waterproofing the building envelope.

Kittrick, Development Engineering Supervisor SUBJECT: System Development Charges in the UC-N Zone Issue: Is the UC-N zone to be treated the same as the COR and CD zones in the matter of determination of System Development Charge fees for mixed use retail/residential or multi-family units? Noe Recommendation: If the intent was to treat the UC-N zone the same as the COR and CD zones, the Council authorize application of fees in the same way at the same rates and consider the item docketed for review and revision. Background: System Development Charges (SDC) are determined by using a formula either charging by residential unit or by square footage of the entire property. The fees are per each city owned utility: Water, Wastewater and Surface Water. Single family residences are charged per dwelling and include mobile/manufactured homes. Multi-family in all zones except CD and COR are charged per unit at a lower rate than single-family. Mixed-use in buildings with over 50%residential floor space is assessed at the multi-family rate in all zones except CD and COR. Mixed-use retail/residential is charged per the gross square footage of the property, but not less than the single family rate in the CD and COR zones. err►' UC-N Zone SDC Page 2 of 2 October 13,2006 When the City was developing the land use designations for the Urban Centers, it was ,eo determined that collecting the System Development Charges based upon units would be over charging for the new higher density uses. Prior to the creation of the Urban Center designations, multi-family developments were not constructed in densities approaching 100 units per acre. The City adopted revised language in our code that provided for the collection of System Development Charges based upon the square footage of the developing property within the CD and COR zones. At that time, these were the two zoning designations for Urban Centers. Since that time, the City added the UC-N zoning designation for Urban Centers. When the UC-N Zone was added, the City did not adopt any specific language to indicate how System Development Charges should be collected for construction within the new zone. h:\division.s\develop.ser\admin\temporary docs\fairfield sdc issue paper.doc CITY OF RENTON COUNCIL AGENDA BILL I AI#: ,. r I Submitting Data: For Agenda of: Dept/Div/Board..

SUMMARY OF ACTION: On November 15, 2005 the Council received a 10% Notice of Intent petition, to annex approximately 1,475-acres of unincorporated King County located within Renton's East Plateau Potential Annexation Area. The County certified the petition on December 19, 2005. On February 13, 2006, Council adopted a resolution calling for an election on the question of annexation to the City of Renton and requested that an election be held on February 6, 2007. Prezoning the East Plateau PAA establishes zoning prior to annexation and allows the City to adopt by ordinance its zoning decision. This process gives citizens, through the East Renton Plateau Advisor Committee, an opportunity to participate and creates certainty for voters In November 2004, the City amended its Comprehensive Plan changing most of the East Renton Plateau's land use designation from Residential Single Family to Residential Low Density. This change would support a range of zones including the RC, R-1, and R-4 zones. Under state law, the City is required to hold at least two public hearings 30-days apart on future zoning. Because of the size of this potential prezoning, the Administration is suggesting that Council forward it to the Planning Commission for an additional public workshop and recommendation. It is anticipated that the Commission would meet on November 1, 2006, in order to have its recommendation back to Council before it takes up this matter on November 6, 2006. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Set November 6,2006 and December 11, 2006, for public hearings to consider prezoning for Renton's East Renton Plateau PAA Rentonnetfagnbill/ bh (SY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, C.) ®�� NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC ' PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: October 16, 2006 TO: Randy Corman, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: ,y�- Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: �<�k Alex Pietsch,Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind(6588) SUBJECT: Prezoning East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA) ISSUE: • Whether the City Council wishes to prezone the remaining portions of the East Renton Plateau PAA before an election is held on the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation (POPA)? • If Council wishes to prezone this area, should areas having the Residential Low Density(RLD) land use designation be zoned a combination of R-4, four units per net acre, R-1, one unit per net acre, and Resource Conservation(RC), one unit per ten acres, based upon sensitive areas analysis,probability of sewer service in the foreseeable future, and existing development character, including size of lots? RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that Council: • Refer the issue of prezoning for the remaining unincorporated portions of the East Renton Plateau PAA to the Renton Planning Commission for a public workshop and recommendation on November 1, 2006. • Set November 6, 2006, and December 11, 2006, for public hearings to consider prezone zoning classifications for the remaining unincorporated portions of the East Renton Plateau PAA. *taw h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\prezoning issue paperl0-13-06.doc Randy Corman,Council President Page 2 of 3 October 13,2006 BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Prezoning is the process of establishing future zoning for unincorporated properties within a city's PAA, pursuant to RCW 35A.14.340. Prezoning will also help address much of the uncertainty about what the future entails with annexation. Use of prezoning speeds up the annexation process since the minimum two required public hearings on zoning, held at least 30-days apart, occur earlier in the process. In the case of the East Renton Plateau PAA, there is currently much uncertainty in the community as to what future zoning will be. In the 1,475 acre POPA area, the City has already taken a policy position lowering density for future development. In November 2004, Council amended its Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, redesignating virtually all of the POPA area Residential Low Density(RLD) from Residential Single Family (RSF). From potential R-8 zoning, at 8 du/net acre, this action reduced the maximum density allowed under the RLD designation to 4 du/net acre. The RLD designation also allows R-1 and Resource Conservation(RC) zoning which could even lower maximum densities further if these were applied to critical areas. These other zones might be more appropriate for some of these areas. Prezoning the remainder of the East Renton Plateau PAA will clarify this situation. Prezoning will also allow for public input on the zoning issues prior to the annexation election. Under state law, two public hearings held at least 30-days apart are required ' when prezoning properties in a city's unincorporated PAA. Property owners are typically notified by mail,public notice postings, and newspaper ads announcing meeting times and location. Although Renton met with residents of the POPA area in 2002-2003, and this influenced staff recommendations to change the land use designation for this area from RSF to RLD,we have not heard from residents and property owners on recommendations for specific zoning designations in the area. The City has formed a Task Force of unincorporated area residents to review community planning issues, including zoning for this area. The Task Force will develop a prezoning recommendation on October 16, 2006, for the Planning Commission's consideration. This recommendation will evaluate mapping alternatives for RC, R-1, and R-4 prezoning. The Planning Commission will hold a briefing to hear the Task Force's recommendation on October 18, 2006, and is expected to hold a public workshop and make its recommendation on November 1, 2006 prior to the Council's first public hearing on November 6, 2006, if Council concurs with staff's recommendations. CONCLUSION: Prezoning the remainder of the Renton's East Renton Plateau PAA before the POPA election on annexing approximately 1,475 acres of it into the City would appear to be in the public's best interest. First of all, it would give interested residents a better understanding of the City legislative process.

No. 453X). The reasons cited by the Committee for this protest action include the considerable damage to the City's economy posed by the impact of the rail abandonment on potential future location decisions by The Boeing Company, damage created by the discontinuation of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train, and potential damage from not having this line available to pending users along the east shore of Lake Washington. The Transportation/Aviation Committee remains fully supportive of the expeditious upgrade of the BNSF Cedar River Bridge to accommodate longer fuselage transport to the Renton Boeing plant. )Vate-CC' Marcie Palmer, Chair Don Persson, Vice-Chair 411 Randy Corman, Substitute Member cc: Jay Covington,Chief Administrative Officer Gregg Zimmerman,PBPW Administrator Alex Pietsch,EDNSP Administrator Peter Hahn,Deputy PBPW Administrator-Transportation Connie Brundage,Transportation Administrative Secretary DRAF Offion 1 of �. CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON ,(00,,led led J 3-06 RESOLUTION NO. j53 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, OPPOSING I-933, ENTITLED "AN ACT RELATING TO PROVIDING FAIRNESS IN GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF PROPERTY." WHEREAS, Initiative 933 will be presented to the voters of the State of Washington at the general election on November 7, 2006, with the following official ballot title: Statement of the Subject: Initiative Measure 933 concerns government regulation of private property. Concise Description: This measure would require compensation when government regulation damages the use or value of private property, would forbid regulations that prohibit existing legal uses of private property, and would provide exceptions or payments. Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ] and WHEREAS, the passage of I-933 would require the state and Washington cities and counties to pay landowners to follow many regulations adopted since 1996 that restrict what they can do with their property; and WHEREAS, I-933 would require agencies such as the City of Renton to undergo a lengthy and costly process prior to legislative enactments to document potential impacts of new regulations upon the use and value of property; and WHEREAS, the initiative would apply to both real and personal property, and would require compensation in advance of enforcing a regulation that results in"damaging the use or value of property;" and WHEREAS,the initiative would require local governments to redefine "damage" to include prohibiting or restricting uses that were legal as of January 1, 1996; and 1 RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS,the length and complexity of the aforementioned and required pre- enactment process would shift resources and staff time away from reviewing and processing all other permits, thus forcing the City to concentrate primarily on I-933 claims, pre-enactment analysis and mitigating the City's liability, to the detriment of the City's existing permitting obligations; and WHEREAS,because the broad definition of"damaging the use or value" includes, but is not limited to, prohibiting or restricting any use or size, scope, or intensity of any use legally existing or permitted as of January 1, 1996, 1-933 would dismantle all post-1996 regulations, including but not limited to development regulations and critical area regulations adopted pursuant to the detailed public participation process required by the Growth Management Act; WHEREAS, I-933 will lead to incompatible growth, which would potentially adversely affect the value and use of adjacent properties and detrimentally affect the City's ability to provide needed infrastructure, public services, and public safety that are necessary to promote healthy and prosperous communities; and WHEREAS, the City supports the benefits of balancing public good and private property rights; and WHEREAS,while it appears that waiving regulations is an alternative to payment under the initiative, it is unclear how the authority to waive regulations will be granted and it is likely that the City would suffer increased liability because of such waivers; and WHEREAS,by its terms, the provisions of I-933 are to be "liberally construed" (Section 6) and its exceptions "shall be construed narrowly" (Section (2)(c); and WHEREAS, it is unclear what regulations are exempt from 1-933, especially regulations which differentiate between allowed or restricted uses within different parts of a community; and 2 RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the Association of Washington Cities, with the aid of the Office of Financial Management (OFM), has estimated that the statewide annual administrative costs to cities alone would be between $60 million and $76 million, while the state-wide cost to cities for paying off claims for actions or conditions impacting land between 1996 and 2006 is estimated to be between $3.5 and $4.5 billion; and WHEREAS, in 1995, Washington voters rejected a property-rights measure similar to I- 933 that had been drafted largely as a backlash against the state's 1990 Growth Management Act; and WHEREAS, opponents of I-933 include Governor Christine Gregoire and former Washington state governors Albert Rosellini, Dan Evans, John Spellman, Booth Gardner, Mike Lowry, and Gary Locke; environmental and land-conservation groups; the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce; organized labor; and the American Planning Association; and WHEREAS,prior to adoption of this resolution, the City of Renton gave notice of the open public meeting of the City Council held on October 23, 2006, at which consideration of this resolution was heard, the notice contained the official Ballot Title, and equal opportunity was given at the meeting for any person to express an opposing or supporting view; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I. The above findings are true and correct in all respects. SECTION II. The City of Council of the City of Renton declares its opposition to Washington Initiative 933, and urges voters to vote "no" on the initiative at the Nov. 7, 2006, general election. 3 RESOLUTION NO.
