WHEREAS, the ability to ;respond to emergency situations by fire protection and emergency medical service agencies has not kept up or progressed with community needs and special service demands. Providing an effective fire protection and emergency medical service system requires a collaborative partnership and responsibility among local and regional governments and the private sector; and WHEREAS, the delivery of core emergency services and timely development of significant projects can best be achieved through stable funding options for regional fire protection and emergency services; and WHEREAS, the City of Renton ("the City"), through its Fire and Emergency Services Department, and King County Fire Protection District No. 25 ("the District") have had a cooperative partnership, striving to provide the highest level of fire and emergency medical services to their citizens within the confines of available resources.

Also invited to the PlanningCommittee are representatives from Fire District 20, Fire District 40, and union p representatives of International Association of Firefighters Local 864.

The Plan was approved by the District on November 17, 2015, and the City on November 23, 2015, and' is formally adopted by each entity pursuant to this joint resolution.

The City of Renton (`Renton") provides fire and medical emergency services to Renton residents and, through a contract, to King County Fire District#25 ("FD 25") residents. Currently, the Fire Department competes with other city departments for city revenues. If Proposition 1 passes, the Renton,Fire Department and FD 25 will merge into one organization, the RRFA, effective July 1, 2016. it will have dedicated funding and be governed by a board consisting of three Renton City Councilmembers and three FD 25 Commissioners. If Proposition 1 passes, Renton plans to construct a north end fire station and, after construction, reduce its property tax assesment. Under the proposed RFA operating plan,property owners will pay more for fire and emergency services than they do today. The RRFA will be funded by a reduced property tax of$1.00 per thousand of assessed valuation, and a new fire benefit charge ("FBC"). The additional funding will be used to staff the new fire station, and provide additional service enhancements. The FBC would account for up to 60% of the RRFA budget and must be submitted for voter approval every six years. These funding sources would replace FD's 25's current property tax rate of$1.50 per thousand and reduce Renton's property tax capacity by up to $1.00 per thousand. Low income seniors and disabled persons will continue to receive the same percentage discounts.
