When this time capsule was sealed on December 17,2001,Renton was wrapping up a year-long Centennial celebration which gave our residents the opportunity to honor our past,celebrate our present,and imagine our future.It was an honor to be the Mayor of Renton,a city with a vibrant,unique history and a bright future. During your bi-centennial year,enjoy the educational journey back to the past through the historical material contained in this time capsule. The Duwamish Indians called Renton home for centuries before the arrival of the first white homesteaders in 1853. By the time the City incorporated on September 6, 1901,the area's coal mining and logging operations had brought people to the area,forming the foundation of our city. At that time,Renton was a small town with a population of just over 1,000. In 2001,over 51,000 residents lived in Renton. Beautiful parks, safe streets,a growing downtown,and a great quality of life placed Renton ahead of the curve in 2001.It is my'hope that the legacy found in the laws,clubs,businesses,churches,restaurants,hospitals, schools,homes and financial institutions of today,are still enjoyed in 2101.This wonderful city environment has always lent itself to the City's true crowning jewel—its strong community spirit. During our 2001!Centennial Celebration,we reflected on the past,knowing that it is the people of Renton who made and will continue to make our city great.Whether digging for coal,running a business,designing airplanes,or building homes,those who lived and worked in Renton truly contributed to the fabric of our community. Whether in times of economic recession or prosperity,Rentonites have always risen to the challenge. We experienced a 6.8 magnitude earthquake on February 28,2001,and dealt with a national tragedy when terrorists attacked our country on September 11,2001.However,in spite of these earth-shattering and devastating events,Renton opened a skatepark for kids,dedicated a boat house on Lake Washington,opened a new transit center downtown,and began using interne technology to streamline government.We also hosted delegates from our Sister City Nishiwaki,Japan,and formed a new Sister City relationship with Cuautla,Jalisco, Mexico.The continued progress of Renton was evident in 2001 as older buildings made way for new developments along Lake Washington and downtown. Now,as you look to the past to celebrate 200 years in the City of Renton,it is my hope that Renton continues to be a world-class.City where people live,work and play. While you learn about the past during your bi- centennial,I invite you to imagine the next century and continue to shape the future of this fine City of Renton.

It will be an insert in the utility bill and as a hand out. Carco Theatre is celebrating its 30th anniversary tomorrow evening with a 6:30pm start time,program at 7pm. Sara Garner,new member to the City's Community Relations team,has been looking through old Renton stories for current features. ➢ Products and Souvenirs: Sonja reported that all products are out at the sales locations and to date,sales are going very well. The youth shirts have been completed,and we'll begin working on Centennial stickers and decals next. Banners are starting to go up on existing brackets. ➢ RAPT Centennial Pageant:Nancy expressed RAPT's appreciation for Renton Technical College's support of props and set design with Susan Showalter's program ANEW. The Technical Director and Musical Director for Rentennial has been selected. They will need a location for rehearsals in the evening during the summer. RAPT will work to keep all costs down,but are aware there will be expenses which were originally unanticipated,i.e. having music arranged for the performing band. This could be around$2,000. > Legacy Artwork and Time Capsule:Nancy gave an update regarding"Emerging",the Centennial legacy artwork coordinated in conjunction with the Renton Municipal Arts Commission. It has been cited by Parks,and is in the Council process of approval. Nancy inquired if there could be a dedication during River Days. Muni Arts would be hosting the event,30-40 minutes in length,held right before the RAAS Gala Party. Muni Arts has considered the program,refreshments and entertainment. Task Force had concerns about the timing,and the busy schedule of various volunteers and staff during River Days week. It was agreed to table the discussion until the next meeting. > Time Capsule:Nancy had done some research and spoken to a few people about how to organize the time capsule project—we don't necessarily have to bury it but rather seal it,store it inside where we'll always know where it is, and mark it to open in 2101. Peter will approach the schools to have students identify items and gather them. Deadline may be of May 10 for submission. Photos could be scanned on computer paper for longevity,toys,books etc. The,best container to use is a safe—it could be located underground or in a building. King commented that an art dedication and time capsule event could stand all on its own,at another time of year which might be lacking Centennial excitement. > Centennial Markers: Doug reported that two are underway—Chief Moses and the Tobin Sawmill. Map of locations and numbered walking tour by Barbara Nilson is in draft form. A plan will be submitted to the Community Services Committee for site locations. ➢ Centennial Float: Sonja reported that the contract has been processed with float builder,Wild Enterprises. We will get photos or video of work in progress. Char took a moment to pay tribute to the effectiveness of networking in Renton and how much we can accomplish,be it Doug's artistic talent,or Boeing being so supportive of our community efforts. ➢ Official Centennial Birthday Party:Char said the committee plans are basically the same—an old fashioned picnic,parking decorations of bunting and balloons,encourage people to dress in red/white/blue,contests,games for kids,official program,and finale entertainment. The float will enter Liberty from Cedar River Park,have vintage cars,food available,cake and ice cream served. Fireworks may be the closing finale at 9pm. Entertainment may include native american dancers,community choir, concert band and a mass sing. We will need a road closure for Houser Way,and portapotties and hand sink. > Community Involvement: Sonja showed the Community Involvement and Sanctioned Event Grant Request Form. This had been mailed to churches,service clubs,neighborhood groups and distributed to municipal locations. The Cedar River Quilt Guild had submitted a grant request for$350.00 in support of a Centennial quilt which would be donated to the library. Marge moved,and Randy seconded to grant$350 to the Cedar River Quilt Guild. Motion carries. Greg extended some ideas about Renton Youth Day and how we could be of more assistance and have Centennial focus. At a previous meeting,we had discussed a$2500 level contribution in support of the efforts. Widespread involvement makes Renton Youth Day successful—the City,staff,Renton Assembly,local businesses etc. Anticipated budget expenses include activities(inflatables)for children and speakers. Julie suggested a monetary contribution of$500 and then funds to cover t-shirts which would bear Centennial focus. This would connect RYD to the Centennial,honoring our youth,past and present. Greg moved that we support RYD with$500 and work towards providing t-shirts for participants and consider future requests if additional cash contributions are necessary. Motion carried. Another tabled idea,was supporting the Veteran's Memorial Park,and giving them$500 towards the Memorial. Marge will complete the grant request form. The Chamber Awards Luncheon is on May 16 for business awards. Greg would like to explore the idea of producing a video that spotlights Renton's history. This video would be shown at the beginning of the luncheon. Boeing would fund the video,but they are seeking Renton enthusiasts to support the video with historical knowledge. Clark,Steve,and Julie will help Boeing. Greg would like to make sure that the video is participatory and inclusive of Centennial awareness. > Centennial Exhibit—Century to Century: It is a fabulous exhibit,and Julie intends to scold and shame everyone into making sure they stop by the Museum for a visit and tour. > Centennial Timeline:Julie reported that Ethel's committee is working on the corrections. In combining projects and historical efforts,one idea to consider is combining some of the information of the timeline,with the walking tour for the Centennial markers and have one document that incorporates and reflects both. > Budget: Julie noted that we are within our budget so far and doing well. The Centennial playing cards have been ordered and could be a significant fundraiser. It is suggested that the cards will sell for$6 a deck(10,000 ordered), so after expenses,profits could be$40,000. Greg emphasized that Boeing employees could be a resource for Rentennial needs. Char and Nancy will inquire. NEW BUSINESS > Centennial Coloring Book:It was moved and approved to accept the Centennial Coloring Book project,sponsored by Soroptimist International of Renton to produce and give away for free.

For finding other story ideas,they have looked in museum newsletters. A project to follow up on,is featuring 100 year olds in Renton,get their memories about Renton. Bruce Hudson,photographer,will do"photo opp". Julie passed around a file of current press releases to date. The Renton Reporter would like to do a 100 page history book,available on 9/6,for sale at the Birthday Bash. Advertisers could be a"then and now". Proceeds will benefit the Historical Society. Char mentioned that a current article could be featuring the pageant and that RTC is building and storing set designs for the theatrical production. > Products and Souvenirs: On behalf of Mayor Tanner,all Centennial Advisory Committee members were given a Centennial lapel pin in appreciation of their dedication and efforts. Sonja and Julie's"show and tell"displayed all the products ready for sale,the order form,and banners. Because of the brackets being made at RTC,banners will cover more of the city limits. > RAPT Centennial Pageant:Nancy reported that they are reviewing the script,written by Joyce Holt and fmetuning details. Char reported that Bruce Jackson will be the technical director. In a meeting with Susan Schoalter of RTC and the ANEW Program,they will do the props as class projects. LHS will be the performance venue. Ray Johnson has written a song for the pageant specifically about Renton's history. The pageant will be full of humor and very informative. It will be held September 7,8,and 9. Volunteers will be needed to make costumes and help with other props. Julie gave a report on the playing card fundraiser which will help to defray pageant costs. Each card will feature its own Renton image with caption. What would you pay for the deck? Members thought about$5 or$6. An idea was offered to contact Freddie's about selling or using the cards at the casino. > Legacy Artwork and Time Capsule:Nancy reported that she is within$2,000 of have all funding commitments. One idea is to have the dedication during River Days week. Park Board has consented to a site located near Carco Theatre. Nancy clarified the funding for the artwork:about$15,000 from 1%for Art,$10,000 from Centennial, and the balance from private funds. The total will be about$28-29,000. Artwork will be scaled to size based on location at Carco Theatre,and this could reduce the price if it's smaller than originally planned. Is it a Centennial art project,or a 1%for Art project that the Centennial supports? Julie and Sylvia will clarify and facilitate City process. This could be a sponsor opportunity for groups—to contribute to the legacy artwork and have their name included on the placard that lists contributors. Efforts are needed to focus on the Time Capsule. We need to gather information,or materials,copies of Centennial materials,products we're selling. Clark had information to offer: that the time capsule should be an air tight sealed box to protect the contents. He also noted that some things we may fmd as interesting,such as a computer disk or cd,will be obsolete in 100 years and they won't be able to read them anyway. Randy and Clark agreed to work on the project,and Peter was volunteered to see if the project could be organized as a school project. As a school project,it would take vision,teamwork and planning—maybe for an advanced placement class? Or Deca class? Randy will follow up with Peter to move forward. y,: > Centennial Markers: Doug reported that plaque designs are ready for the first three. He brought in a sample of the granite for City engineers in Public Works. The design will be laser etched in the stone. Doug will work with Bob on set-up for the engraver.

The Museum,Don, and Ethel will proof the walking tour for accuracy. ➢ Centennial Float: Sonja showed the float design with changes—the light standards were changed to reflect life today in Renton,instead of the past. Beautiful hanging flower baskets,people mingling,and children playing in the river will depict"Renton's Present"portion of the float. It will be 50' long,and we will get updates and work in progress photos as it's being built. > Official Centennial Birthday Party: Char gave an update on plans for the September 6 Birthday Bash. It will start about 4:30pm in Liberty Park,people will be encouraged to bring picnic food with them,and various entertainment will be featured on stage. The committee met in Liberty Park to evaluate static sign display fireworks as the grand finale. They would be custom designs up on scaffolding. Bunting will decorate cyclone fencing around the park. Instead of one giant cake,it was agreed that a better system will be to have 20 cakes on different tables depicting images of Renton. This will prevent one long line at one cake table. Renton Soroptimists have volunteered to serve refreshments that day. > Community Involvement: Sonja shared information from a recent meeting with John Thompson,Greg Wilson and Larry Warren,and handed out a draft copy of the Sanctioned Event/Grant Request Form. It is important for groups seeking funding to follow guidelines and fit the criteria for approval.

It was a wonderful volunteer group project,5 out of 7 Councilmembers were present. The Museum is still in need of artifacts from the 70's. Decades will be modified and added to over the coming months. It was suggested that images of the Century to Century be posted on the website and City View for promotion. > Centennial Timeline:Julie presented the typed draft version of the compiled timeline information. Tami in the Mayor's Office diligently typed all the information and sorted by date and category. The document,33 two-sided pages,will need to be reviewed for accuracy,and a condensed format determined as to how it will be presented to the public. NEW BUSINESS > Centennial Sign from Piazza Renton: Julie reviewed recent correspondence received from Piazza Renton about their citizens group wanting to contribute a painted plywood sign denoting a countdown of the Centennial. The sign would be located at the Piazza in downtown Renton. Julie indicated that much staff discussion had been held,and that staff recommendation was to decline the sign as it was confusing to advertise an event that would be held in a different park. Also,street pole banners are about to start going up all over town,including several downtown, creating awareness for the Centennial. The Centennial Advisory Committee rejected the proposal. > Ahead of the Class:The Chamber is organizing a program to nominate and honor teachers. It was suggested that an element of history be added to the program and include past teachers. ➢ Centennial Coloring Book: Sonja reported that the Renton Soroptimist Club would like to use their$1,000 allocated Centennial contribution to produce as many copies of Doug Kyes' coloring book as possible.

This year will be a milestone for the City as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and imagine our future. The people who have lived and worked in Renton have made our history interesting and, as employees of this City,you will be instrumental in shaping our future. In honor of our Centennial Celebration, I am giving you this special lapel pin and hope that you will wear it proudly throughout the year. Renton has always been unique. Originally home to the Duwamish Indian Tribe, the City was formally platted in 1875 by Erasmus Smithers. By 1901, the area's coal mining operations had brought people and progress to Renton to support incorporation.Just as the Cedar River flows through town, a great deal of history has flowed over,under, and through Renton's streets for the past 100 years. Generations of families have provided lasting imprints on our community.Their hopes, dreams, sweat, and tears have become our Iaws, clubs,businesses,,churches,restaurants,hospitals, schools, street systems,homes,and financial institutions.Fortunes were raised and lost in Renton. Dreams were given the chance to take flight. I invite you to participate in the special Centennial related activities, exhibitions,performances,and festivities planned throughout the year. Stop by the Renton Historical Museum and enjoy the Century-to-Century exhibit which tells the Renton story,by decade, over the past 100 years.On Thursday, September 6,2001, when the City officially turns 100 years old,join us for a grand birthday party in Liberty Park.A multi-act theatrical pageant featuring Renton's history will follow on the weekend of September 7th, 8th,and 9th. To decorate the community, Centennial banners will be displayed at major intersections and engraved stone Centennial markers will be placed throughout Renton during the year,marking historically significant events and items. For something unique to showcase our history,a parade float will take part in several regional parades. Locally,the float will make a grand appearance in the IKE'A Renton River Days Parade at the end of July and at the Centennial birthday bash in September.A variety of souvenirs are also available and can,be purchased in the Executive Depax talent. Renton's Centennial also gives us a good reason to add to the City's rich assortment of public art. In cooperation with the Renton Municipal Arts Commission,a piece of art will be commissioned during the Centennial year that will serve as a lasting legacy project and will also include a time capsule. We are fortunate to have the support and dedication of our employees.It is people like you that make Renton such a special and caring community. Please join me in celebrating 100 Years in Renton.

This memo requested $500 towards a Centennial quilt, which would be donated to the Renton Library. At the October meeting, the committee responded to the Guild seeking a breakdown of anticipated costs and which quilting groups might be working on this project (often times more than one quilt group may work together on projects). Cedar River Quilt Guild submitted further information to be shared at November's meeting. They submitted a draft of the quilt design, a breakdown of costs totaling $351 and indicated that the Cedar River Quilt Guild would be the participants in this project. Centennial Task Force recommended that the Community Involvement action team draft guidelines for a supporting Centennial grant available to any submitting group,which would meet the criteria. There is$15,000.00 available for the year and all requests. Oversight&Finance will assist if needed. The grant process guidelines are to be presented at January's Task Force meeting. ACTION TEAM REPORTS > Centennial Calendar:Julie reported that the calendar would be ready in about a week. It will be free to the community and mailed out in the Renton Reporter to Renton addresses within the city limits. A"fresh off the press"proof run was available for viewing by committee members. Greg Wilson expressed that this is such a special promotional piece for Renton,telling the Renton story,and brings back memories. There are 50,000 copies for Renton,and another 20,000 were printed for the Boeing employees that work at the Renton plant. > Publicity:Centennial promotion is creating a buzz about the calendar and that the calendar launches the Centennial and other newsbits about other happenings—products,street pole banners,Birthday Bash,markers,etc. > Products and Souvenirs: Sonja gave an update on the selection and variety of Centennial products so far:navy writing pen,gold key chain,cobalt blue beveled mug,cloisonné lapel pin,youth and adult t-shirt,navy polo,grey sweatshirt,and the blue and green street pole banners. Products will be coming in late December,ready for the Kick-Off at the Museum. The street pole banners will start to go up in January. > RAPT Centennial Pageant:Char Baker reported that the committee is reviewing the acts,incorporating music, dance and history. The pageant will be held at Lindbergh High School. Renton Technical College has enthusiastically agreed to help with set designs. RAPT has two fundraisers going,one being the sale of Centennial notecards,and Greg Wilson handed a packet to each committee member as a thank you. The Renton School District partnered with the project doing the printing. The second fundraiser,producing playing cards for sale,may require sponsorship for funding assistance. There is a committee working on which images will be selected. RAPT may also be putting together an auction,raising funds to help cover pageant expenses. > Legacy Artwork and Time Capsule:Nancy reported that the next step is submitting a letter to Park Board for their December meeting about where to place the artwork. The cost of the artwork is about$30,000. We have$25,000, so need to raise another$5,000. Julie noted that funding for art projects come through the 1%for Art and Council. The Centennial funds will go to the 1%for Art to pay for the legacy artwork. > Centennial Markers:Doug reported that he has quotes from the quarry company,a list of potential plaque locations and a draft of an information booklet ready. The booklet of information is being reviewed by the Museum and Ethel. The plaques will be approximately$830 each. The first plaque would show the original homestead in Renton,possibly at the Piazza. It's 12"x24". Could it be ready in January? The plaques have a 3-4 week turn around time. We will need a list of plaques and locations for City processes. r ➢ Centennial Float: $20,000 of the Centennial budget has been earmarked for a Renton Centennial Float,which will be featured in several parades in 2001. This will enhance the regional focus of the Centennial. The float design depicts photo frames representing the past,present and future. It's 50'in length,has electrical lights,and will debut in the Daffodil Parade in Tacoma in April. This parade is televised. The float will also be at the September 6 Birthday Bash in Liberty Park. The Centennial Float starts the tradition of a Renton float,hopefully River Days and the City will continue the program. Float design suggestions: take out the light poles as they are not a current representation of Renton life today. Centennial Task Force approves the float design as determined by the Float Committee. Motion carries. ➢ Official Centennial Birthday Party:The event will be held on Thursday,September 6,2001 in Liberty Park. It will start at about 5:00pm,and feature patriotic music and concessions. Dianna Manning will be contacted to see if the three high school marching bands can accompany the float into Liberty Park from Cedar River Park. An official program will begin at 7:00pm. There will be games for kids,the park will feature red/white/blue decorations,and stage entertainment. Fireworks are being considered as a grande fmale,and maybe a mass sing as fmale entertainment. The planning committee is researching a giant birthday cake. Awards will be given for all contest categories. ➢ Centennial Exhibit and Museum Kick-Off Gala: Ethel reported that carpenters and volunteers are working extra hard to make sure the exhibit is ready for the event on December 31. ➢ Centennial Timeline:Ethel reported that timeline information has been compiled,and will feature 800 entries over 100 categories or subjects. The information will be typed into a computer and formatted for reproduction. NEW BUSINESS ➢ Centennial Video: Marilyn Petersen,City Clerk for the City of Renton,was present to share information about videotaping Centennial related programs or events. She indicated that it would be possible to video a narrative of our history,or even videotape Rentennial,the RAPT pageant. The City had been contacted by Dick Williams,a person interested in providing this service for the Centennial. As yet,we are not familiar with his work or seen a sample. Marilyn indicated that extensive video editing would increase the cost. Marilyn also suggested that the City Clerk budget may be able to cover the cost of videotaping the pageant and then showing the video on City View,Renton's Channel 21. It was suggested that Dick Williams be contacted about a narrative video. Would he produce it,would his services and expenses be 100%inkind? Could the narrative be shown on City View,or available for sale? More information is needed in order to proceed. ➢ Committee Recognition: Don Custer and Greg Wilson extended sincere thanks to all the members of the Centennial Task Force. We are at a milestone in our planning after meeting together for over a year. Really,we're at the beginning of our celebration. Thank you gifts were presented by Phyllis Filippetti and Greg Wilson on behalf of Boeing. Personally engraved miniature bats were given to each member and holiday refreshments were enjoyed by all.

RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE CITY OF RENTON October 18,2000 4:00 PM N O V 0 6 2000 Meeting Notes RECEIVED CITY CLERK'S OFFICE PRESENT: Don Custer, Bob Dunn, Phyllis Filippetti, Doug Kyes, Loren Lichty, Larry Warren, Marge Richter, Ethel Telban,Sylvia Allen,Steve Anderson,Julie Brewer,Sonja Mejlaender,Clark Petersen NEW BUSINESS ❖ Centennial Float Update: Sonja reported that Toni Nelson, Greg Wilson, Julie Brewer and she had met with owners(Paul and Brian Wild)of a float building company,Wild Enterprises,to discuss plans for a Centennial float. For a predetermined fee, approximately $20,000, the company designs, builds, stores, and enters several mutually agreed upon parades. With Boeing's contribution for the Centennial Calendar, this creates the possibility for producing a community float with funds previously allocated to the calendar. Paul and Brian were given suggestions about Renton's history, commerce, and culture to incorporate into the float theme. A follow-up meeting was established for 11/6, at which time designs will be reviewed and brought before Task Force at the 11/15 meeting. Paul and Brian, from Renton originally, and graduates of RHS are very excited to be involved in this project. Question was raised about real people being included on the float—it will be considered in the designs, but takes a real commitment from representatives from Renton to take their time and effort to be a part of parades in Tacoma,Marysville,Issaquah etc. ❖ Bruce Hudson/Roving Display: Sonja shared information about a meeting with Bruce Hudson, local photographer. Bruce has offered his services to assemble a roving display of Renton's 100 Year-Olds. Supply expenses would need to be covered,but he would donate his time. The display could feature photos and bios in a roving display to banks,businesses,and municipal buildings. It was considered a wonderful idea by Task Force—but needs a project leader, and research of whom to spotlight. It was suggested that the SAC and local nursing homes be contacted. And,it was suggested that other things,not just 100 year-old people be featured—how about 100 year-old buildings too? ACTION TEAM REPORTS > Products and Souvenirs: Sonja presented Centennial street pole banner suggestions(already approved by Mayor Tanner)to Task Force. They were passed around and two designs selected. Once the bid and ordering process is underway for the banner program,then other Centennial products will be ordered based on budget allowances for 2000. Other products will be ordered in 2001. Marge noted that years ago,Renton Technical College made several brackets for River Days street banners. Sonja will follow this lead and inquire with RTC. > Community Calendar:Julie and Bob reported that the layout and design for the Centennial Calendar is nearly complete and will be delivered to Boeing within the week. Boeing will incorporate this project into their printing schedule and the calendar will be available in mid-December. > Century to Century Exhibit:The museum is in full design and construction for the Century to Century Exhibit. Historical Society President,Pat Auten,is planning the December 31 kick-off reception. Steve Anderson reported that there's less actual space than originally anticipated on paper so they're making adjustments and accommodations where necessary. > Sanctioned Events:Renton Assembly and Renton Rotary have submitted information for sanctioned event status for events to be held in 2001. Renton Assembly is planning Centennial focus to their'Hot Rods&Hot Dogs,Bikes &Burgers',held on September 15,2001,and for their 21s`Annual Singing Christmas Tree,December 14-16,2001.

Motion carried. > Cedar River Quilt Guild Funds Request: Sonja read a memo received from the Cedar River Quilters requesting $500 towards anticipated expenses for producing a Centennial commissioned quilt which would be donated to the library. Questions were raised about a sketch of the quilt,and if there were other guilds working on the project. Sonja will inquire and have more information at November's meeting. It was noted that the committee needs to establish parameters for disbursing funds for Community Involvement. > Official Recognition/Ceremony Event:The committee had met recently to discuss plans for the Big Birthday Bash on September 6,2001. Event features will include Liberty Park decorations,stage entertainment,Centennial float,marching bands,official program,refreshments and birthday cake,and some type of grand finale. Loran suggested an all community choir—his church could host the rehearsals open to the entire public singing a package of"Renton songs". It was noted to share this information with Harley Brumbaugh and possibly have a"mass sing" with the Renton Parks Choir,Renton Assembly,and anyone else who wanted to partake. > Art—Visual&Performing:No art update at this time. > RAPT Centennial Pageant: Sonja reported that the pageant is starting to come together. A writer has been selected,Joyce Holt,and she is working on the first draft of four vignettes,each encompassing 25 years. A director has also been selected. RAPT is working on solidifying the contracts. Wizards has been approached to underwrite the cost of the Centennial playing cards as sponsor of the fundraiser. Proceeds will benefit the pageant. It was suggested that a videotape of the pageant be for sale.It was noted that the City should have 100%rights of ownership to the pageant for reproduction purposes. > Centennial Markers:Doug Kyes has a writer,Barbara Nielsen,for a brochure/booklet of the walking tour. The list of locations is not complete yet. The markers will be made of stone,lasered with text about the site. The markers may be recessed into the ground,mounted on structures,or on a large stone at the site. The brochure will indicate where things used to be and be referenced by number on the walking tour map. > From Coal to Jets:No report from Clark at this time. > Centennial Timeline:Ethel reported that the committee has assembled 800 dates of importance within 100 categories and subjects.

Approved expenses for the year 2000 included funding in the amount of$41,000 for the Community Calendar, Products/Souvenirs/Banners, Centennial Pageant, Century to Century Exhibit, and Centennial markers. Funding for 2001 totals $106,000 and will cover expenses for Publicity, Products/Souvenirs/Banners, Community Involvement, the Official Birthday Event, Centennial Pageant, Timeline, Lasting Legacy art work, Centennial Markers and a Centennial Parade Float. The Centennial Committee estimates revenue in the amount of$65,500 will help off-set the expenses. > Products and Souvenirs: Jeri Bates reported that a sub-committee has been meeting about possible products for the Centennial. So far the committee is seeking pricing on t-shirts, sweatshirts,polo shirts, lapel pins, embroider patches, candles, key chains and decals. Julie Brewer reported that a few members of the committee are working on a design for the banners and once a design is approved, a firm quote can be obtained from several vendors. We anticipate banners going up at the end of December 2000 or early January 2001. Char Baker commented that it would be fun to have a countdown to the actual day somewhere in the city and possibly on the website. This would generate interest in Centennial events. Marge Richter will take the"countdown"idea to the Piazza group to consider. > Centennial Float: Julie Brewer reported that as part of the Centennial Budget that a Renton Centennial Float was approved. The float will be built, stored and maintained by a company that specialized in floats. This company also enters the floats in different parades and takes care of providing the driver and staff for the float. It is anticipated that the float will make its debut in Tacoma's Daffodil Parade in April of 2001. Julie pointed out that the float will help engage the region in Renton's Centennial. Loren Lichty mentioned that it would be fun to have a smaller scale of the float to sell as a Centennial product. i > Community Calendar: Julie Brewer noted Boeing's generous in-kind donation of paper and printing for the Calendar was significant in helping free up some additional funding for the Centennial. The Calendar project is underway and must be delivered to the Boeing print shop in mid-October. A draft of the calendar should be available at the next Centennial Committee. The Calendar will be delivered as an insert in the Renton Reporter in mid-December. ➢ Century to Century Exhibit: Steve Anderson reported that they are almost done cleaning up the north room at the Museum which will house the Century to Century Exhibit. They are using the door from the Henry Ford School as an entrance to the exhibit. Boeing is helping to build a simulator. The Gala Party and kick-off will be held on New Year's Eve. The Gala event is anticipated to run from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ➢ Art—Visual & Performing: > RAPT Centennial Pageant: Char Baker reported that RAPT has been meeting and has hired Joyce Holt to write the script for the Pageant. Joyce is working with Harley Brumbaugh to write music. By the next RAPT meeting they will have a Director in mind. They are still thinking that the Pageant will be held at Lindbergh due to the size of the auditorium and the fact that this is a major volunteer effort and it is hard to have volunteers commit more than one weekend for this size and scope of a production. Julie Brewer mentioned that the Mayor had sent a letter to Wizards of the Coast to solicit an in-kind donation for printing the playing cards that RAPT will sell as a fundraiser for the Pageant. > Centennial Markers: Doug Kyes has been working with a few individuals and the Historical Museum to identify significant areas of history to mark with Centennial Markers. Barbara Nielsen has agreed to write text to go along with the Centennial markers that will be reproduced into a walking brochure that will reference the markers. ➢ Centennial Timeline: Work is still being done on the timeline. > Cancellation Stamp: Marge indicated that the cancellation stamp was successful at Renton River Days. Julie Brewer mentioned that it was brought up at the Council Committee Meeting to also offer a Centennial Postcard as a product that people could buy and then get stamped with the cancellation image from the Post Office.

Mayor Tanner expressed his support for the broad range of programs which will include a great number of activities and citizens. There was concern that revenues could always fall short to offset expenses. But business support will certainly enhance our programs with sponsorship revenues. The next step will be to go to Council about mid- September for approval of funds needed for 2000. > Products and Souvenirs: Sonja reported that more information will be given at September's meeting following a sub-committee meeting scheduled in a few weeks. Publicity: Julie reported that the Community Calendar will feature a decade each month with interesting facts and photos relevant to the era. On a national level, Willard Scott may be contacted for our 100 year party. Other suggestions included Clint Eastwood(he was a Renton lifeguard), Good Morning America, and the Today Show. Locally, information will be distributed many ways — including the website, Channel 21 and mail pieces in the utility bills. > Community Involvement: Greg made a suggestion that an existing event, Renton Youth Day, be incorporated into the Centennial. It's already a success, let's just work to make it better. Renton Youth Day creates civic involvement and leadership. Let's really market the event—tie it to the schools and the City's Recreation Division for better advertising. Involve Ted Rodriguez of Torero's for Youth Day. Youth Day was started through the Chamber, and is now organized by Randy Holt and Marlena Rose of a local styling salon. It brings youth and ethnicity together. Greg will come back with a plan or details. Connect Greg with Jerry Rerecich for more details of the program. Official Ceremony: No report at this time. ➢ Art—Visual & Performing: Sonja reported that RAPT is continuing to meet— currently focusing on selecting a writer for the pageant script and suggestions for the decades for the different vignets or acts. Doug commented that Muni Arts is hoping for Carco to be the site selected for the Centennial art piece. There are still City processes for this project before the site is determined. ➢ Legacy Identifying Projects: Centennial Markers:Doug reported that his committee meets next week. Unveiling the first site in January would make a good press story. One marker is included in the 2000 budget request so it's ready for January. Centennial Timeline: The information is nearly compiled and complete. It is critical to get the information on a computer for reproduction and use. From Coal to Jets: No report at this time. It was suggested to have Coal to Jets as a "book on tape" or on the website,something very popular these days. Cancellation Stamp: No report at this time. Sonja will inquire with Helen Pelton,Postmaster. NEW BUSINESS Loran inquired about sanctioned event status—could the Singing Christmas Tree at Renton Assembly be included in this? They also have a summertime event—Bikes&Burgers,Hot Rods&Hot Dogs. This year's event will be held September 16 if anyone wants to preview what it is all about. Randy brought up the idea of the Celebrity Chefs series at Renton Technical College. Maybe one of them has a Centennial focus to it. Greg and Phyllis of Boeing reported the outstanding news that Boeing is going to provide the paper and printing for the Community Calendar. This offsets about$35,000 of allocated funds that may be used for other ideas. Greg and Phyllis are to be commended and acknowledged for this incredible effort. This is a significant contribution on behalf of Boeing, and we are grateful to have the funds to support our Centennial programs. Two ideas that have been on the Centennial"wish list",but didn't have funding yet,are a Centennial Parade Float and a contribution for the Veteran's Memorial Park. The float would give us regional exposure, as we would likely contract with the company that had been reported about at previous meetings—a float company,Wild Enterprises makes, stores and will drive our float in other community parades (approximate float cost $15-$20,000). Having our float in other parades,may entice their floats to our parade. Toni Nelson is very supportive of a Centennial float and will work with Greg on this idea. Funding or enhancements for Renton Youth Day and Veteran's Memorial Park would come through a budget allocation from Community Involvement. NEXT MEETING: The next Centennial Task Force meeting will be held Wednesday, September 20, at 4:00 pm, in the 7`h floor conference room. 71 4tnicir. R-e-A"LeA' 8de/dz.; 0.44, -x.

Total requested is$147,000 with expected income of$40,500 for a balance needed of$106,500. Revenue sources are the Community Calendar, products,Pageant and fundraising. General areas in which the funds will be disbursed will be publicity,Community Calendar;`, products, community involvement, lasting legacy, Official Centennial Ceremony, Pageant, Century to Century lExhibit and the Timeline. The Oversight Committee met with Jay and the Mayor; they felt pretty comfortable with the submitted budget. Task Force will need to go to Council for this years'funding needs. > Products and Souvenirs: Sonja noted that the committee will seek the best prices possible. A thought was posed— will the banners be up past 2001? They would certainly add color enhancement to the community if they're in good shape. > Publicity: Bob reported that publicity will focus on the kick-off at the museum,banners going up around town,the Centennial publication in the Renton Reporter, and water bills. A question was asked if the museum kick-off will be an invite only? The Sanction Event list is low for now, still early for many people planning events in 2001. These events will be publicized monthly. Will try to have events spread out throughout the year. Perhaps a Centennial Marker could be placed once a month to give us a"hook". The Community Calendar will be ready in December. Each month,2-3 photos and artifacts featured. Char asked if there was any advertising outside Renton for the Centennial? This will happen next year. The Marketing Campaign is focusing their money on business recruitment. Char also commented, that timing is of the essence . .enough talk, and time to act. Doug will look into how long it takes to have a marker made. Regarding the banners,the design is inhouse from here. > Community Involvement: Steve Anderson reported that for Century to Century, funding is coming in,brochure and poster being designed. One idea is a 2-7pm open house, by invitation only, and a ribbon cutting by Mayor Tanner. Sonja reported that the next meeting to plan the Official Centennial Ceremony is the first week of. September. So far,all plans are a go ahead for the September 6,2001 event in Liberty Park. > Art—Visual & Performing: Nancy reported that RAPT is moving forward slowly, tackling some challenges but very enthusiastic. Nancy had much to report about the sculpture art for the Centennial and had a design to present. It would Ile slightly smaller in scale,and it is recommended that it be placed at Carco Theatre. The price is$30,000, with$17,000 already in place from Renton Municipal Arts. $13,000 would need to be raised. It could be unveiled in August right before the Official Ceremony. Some of the $13,000 could come from our lasting legacy and from the community. It was moved, seconded and motion passed to allocate the $10,000 from the lasting legacy funds toward the funding of the sculpture. Some discussion was held about considering other options down the road,and it was agreed that it's time to put ideas"to bed" so we can keep moving forward. Featuring,the artist will be a good spotlight article. The remaining balance of $3,000 will be raised by the Arts committee of the Centennial. > Legacy Identifying Projects: Centennial Markers:Doug commented that he needs a committee to help him with the research of locations for the 20 Centennial Markers. John Thompson may be able to help. ,.I. Centennial Timeline: Ethel reported that the committee is digging for gold, and will be incorporating history of 1853-2001. From Coal to Jets: It was reported that editing and funding will transpire over the next year, with the book completed in 2001 and ready for sale. Cancellation Stamp: Marge is compiling the needed information. NEXT MEETING: The next Centennial Task Force meeting will be held Wednesday, August 16, at 4:00 pm, in the 7'h floor conference room.

Contact Council Secretary at 430.6601 for meeting day and time. Meeting is expected to be held July 6,but please call to confirm. Preliminary Budget &Action Team Reports ➢ Process, Oversight & Finance: Randy Carmical gave the draft budget report on behalf of the committee. John Thompson, Greg Wilson, Phyllis Filippetti, Julie Brewer, Sonja Mejlaender and he met on June 8 to review action team draft budgets. Incorporating as many of the anticipated needs as possible, the committee decided to ask for funds up front to cover Centennial expenses adequately and ensure its success. All totaled, $147,000 will be requested, expecting $40,500 in revenues, with a net expense of$106,500. Julie clarified that to avoid confusion, Historical Markers should be referred to as Centennial Markers. Questions were posed regarding the budget information. How padded are the revenues? Products revenues are conservative, and expect to be higher. RAPT revenues include fundraising and ticket sales. The Community Calendar may have additional business sponsorship support that is not confirmed at this time. This will also grant relief to the overall budget as it will free up monies allocated for the calendar. Betty suggested a few from the Oversight Committee meet with Jay. Members of the Oversight Committee will meet with Jay, presenting a more detailed budget report in order to determine appropriate course of action. Char Baker moved, and Doug Kyes seconded,to accept the budget as presented. Motion carried. ➢ Products and Souvenirs: Sonja noted that the committee will seek the best prices possible. ➢ Publicity: Julie reported that another community outreach letter has been included in the Renton Chamber of Commerce newsletter informing local businesses about the Centennial. A letter had been sent to Puget Sound Energy regarding their sponsorship of the Community Calendar. > Community Involvement: Discussion was held that this action team should meet and discuss ways in which to keep the community informed and encourage their participation and involvement. Betty suggested that the service clubs could sponsor a page in the calendar and have logo placement in return. Char expressed the importance of Centennial PR getting out, like the Performing Arts Center. It was agreed that Centennial Ambassadors getting out in the public would be a good way to spread the information. Steve Anderson reported that they are looking at the layout at the museum for the Century to Century Exhibit. He has submitted grants for funding. Exhibit will be different in that it will begin present day, and go backwards. Boeing will be involved in terms of props, various documents will be viewed from pulling out the drawers, there will be a poster program for the exhibit, and the museum will be object driven. December 31 will be the kick-off. Sonja gave the update about the Official Ceremony on September 6, 2001. It will be an old fashioned picnic in Liberty Park, complete with music, a formal program, and grand finale entertainment. Pop,coffee,ice cream, and a giant birthday cake provided.Liberty Park will be decorated with bunting and balloons, and there will be prizes for kids'games. It is hoped that there will be a pageant preview as part of the entertainment. V. ➢ Art—Visual & Performing: Char reported that RAPT is very excited to be involved, and moving forward with their plans formulating the ideas and structure for the pageant. > Legacy Identifying Projects: Centennial Markers: Budget approval will determine quantity of markers. Estimates indicate they will cost $1,000 each. Continued research should be done to determine locations. Centennial Timeline: Ethel said the committee is very busy and committed,but that it is difficult to estimate when it will be done. Their research has been extensive. From Coal to Jets: Clark reported that they are receiving printing bids and that they have been higher than expected. Production will wait until Spring 2001. A larger print run will help to keep the costs down. Historic Preservation Ordinance: No report. Cancellation Stamp: Marge is compiling the needed information. NEW BUSINESS Discussion was held regarding the venue for the pageant. Lindbergh has been reserved,but it is not within the City limits. RAPT will be notified and asked to consider other options (i.e. Renton Civic Theatre, Carco Theatre) for availability. Task Force also commented that it would be great if the pageant could extend over two weekends, generating 6 performances,rather than one weekend and 3 performances. NEXT MEETING: The next Centennial Task Force meeting will be held Wednesday,July 19, at 4:00 pm, in the 7th floor conference room. • RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE Wednesday,May 17, 2000 4:00PM Meeting Notes PRESENT: Char Baker,Randy Carmical, Don Custer, Bob Dunn,Ralph Evans,Nancy Hoben,Doug Kyes, Edie- Mae Lawyer,Loran Lichty,Del Mead,King Parker,Marge Richter,Ethel Telban,Larry Warren,Greg Wilson,Sonja Mejlaender,Julie Brewer,Clark Petersen,John Thompson OLD BUSINESS Hanging Flower Basket Program: Sonja and Julie reported that this idea had been referred to Council. Ralph Evans commented that he certainly hopes this program will not be passed over. He has spent considerable time in his research in the hopes that the City will embrace this idea for our community. Action Team and Preliminary Budget Reports > Products and Souvenirs: Sonja reported that many products sales ideas will be self supported. Exact items and quantities are not confirmed at this time. Reorders as the 2001 year progresses will be possible to avoid overstocking. Seed packets were suggested as an idea. The City planted all red flowers one year during River Days. Sonja indicated $15,000 would be requested from the Centennial Budget to cover a street pole banner program,and free Centennial items such as static cling decals,stickers,and buttons. > Publicity: Julie reported that Council had approved the funds for the calendar,but that it would come from within the Centennial budget. Calendar costs will be approximately $35,000. There will be contributor opportunities for the calendar, thus freeing up some of the funds for other Centennial focuses. Recently, Centennial articles had appeared in the Renton Reporter,30,000 year 2000 Summer Parks and Rec Guides,and an insert was completed for the Chamber newsletter for June. It was agreed that$5,000 be allocated from the budget for the Centennial timeline and miscellaneous requests that may come in from sanctioned events. > Community Involvement: Sonja reported on behalf of Steve Anderson and the Renton Historical Museum, his request of$10,000 from the Centennial budget towards anticipated expenses for the Century to Century Exhibit. He will also seek$10,000 in grants and $10,000 from funds raised from within the Museum. Century to Century will be a roaming exhibit, complete with kiosks. Regarding the Official Ceremony Event of September 6, Sonja reported that the committee had met and discussed ideas for an old fashioned picnic in Liberty Park with music, games, and a formal program. Funds requested will be reported to the Oversight Committee. Sonja also reported that the Nishiwaki Sister City Committee had reviewed anticipated costs for the visiting delegation next year, and was requesting $8,000. King Parker noted that the Sister City Program is an ongoing program within the City, already having a budget line item and should be considered separate from the Centennial. Sonja will take this information back to the committee and they will submit a budget request through the Executive Dept. Greg indicated he would take the lead in scheduling a Community Involvement Action Team Meeting. > Art—Visual& Performing: Nancy reported that RAPT estimates needing $8,000 for costumes and music. They are continuing to check on locations— church, stadium, or auditoriums. To date, the Centennial sculpture art is being postponed as to not create confusion with the art focus of the pageant. 1% for Art will fund the sculpture. Carco Theater may be a location for the Centennial sculpture. RAPT has fundraising ideas to help fund the pageant. > Legacy Identifying Projects: Trolley—A very complex and costly project to be considered down the road. Historical Markers—Doug has researched homestead markings, estimating 20 markers at$1,000 each. Doug will submit information to the Oversight Committee. If the program is approved, a brochure should be produced listing the locations. t iJ Centennial Timeline: Ethel said Jack Flemming has joined the committee. There is much information and the committee is getting more organized. More work is needed on the last 12 years. Much help is being received from City offices. They have documented 19 pieces of public artwork. And the committee is being faced with the discretion of murders,scandals,crimes,prohibition etc. Regarding the budget,funds will be needed for producing a pamphlet that lists the Centennial Timeline information.. $5,000 was allocated. Loran recommended that Ethel narrate a video for Channel 21 once the Timeline information is complete. From Coal to Jets: Clark said they are moving forward with the corrections,will need permission for the official logo to be used with a new cover. They are accepting ideas for the cover. Funds are not needed. The book will sell for under$20. Historic,'Preservation Ordinance: No report. Cancellation Stamp: Marge Richter is working on this idea. Funds are not needed. NEW BUSINESS Sonja reported that the Process and Oversight Committee has discussed the idea of a Centennial Float. There are many factors—costs,who would maintain it,who would be the design team and approve of the concept etc. It was suggested to have a Kenworth truck, painted red and white, with the Centennial logo on the truck. Sonja will explore the costs more in depth. > Due to budget deadlines, June's meeting has been moved to June 14, 4:00 PM in the 7t'' Floor Conference Room. All requests for funds need to be submitted to Sonja by June 7. May 15,2000 Renton City Council Minutes Page 166 NEW BUSINESS Council President Corman announced that Council has chosen Dan Clawson to Council: Dan Clawson represent Renton on the Cedar River Council,replacing Mr. Schlitzer. Appointed to Cedar River Council Planning: Appeals Process Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler reported that, in an attempt to better explain (Council Agenda) the appeals process to interested parties,new language developed by the City Attorney will appear on the City Council's meeting agenda whenever appeals come before it. Parks: Illegal ATV and Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler noted the receipt of information from Scott Dungan,a Motorcycle Traffic Below resident,who expressed concern about the proliferation of all-terrain vehicles Renton Hill (ATVs) and motorcycles in a certain environmentally-sensitive area of the City. She wanted assurance that the Administration will respond to this problem. . Chief Administrative Officer.Jay Covington replied that the area referred to by Mr.Dungan is on the south side of the Cedar River, extending west to the Narco site and up the hill to the property formerly known as the Parker PUD. It comprises approximately 240 acres, and has an unknown number of access points. Because some of it is privately owned,it cannot be fully fenced by the City. Mr. Covington suggested that the City could install some signs that would warn of the illegality of using motorized vehicles in this area. Councilman Persson added that much of the traffic begins at Phillip Arnold Park on Renton Hill. Noting the presence of an increasing amount of garbage• in the Seattle pipeline right-of-way in this area,he suggested that Renton ask the Seattle Water Department to address this problem. King County:Urban Areas Saying that King County is considering changing the zoning of urban areas Zoning Change(R-4 to R-48) from R-4 to R-48,which would include property in Renton's potential annexation area,it was MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL REFER THIS MATTER TO THE ADMINISTRATION FOR EXPLORATION AND A REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL. CARRIED. • Community Event: Centennial Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler commented on efforts by the Centennial Committee Historical Signs Committee to identify historical buildings and the sites of historical events with signage. The committee is discouraged,however,by the estimated cost of each marker($850 to$1,000) and presumed maintenance complications. Ms. Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the committee consider a much less expensive process by which photographs are copied onto metal sheets which have been covered in white enamel. After clear enamel is placed on top, the signs are easy to clean and maintain. ADJOURNMENT MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ADJOURN. CARRIED.

RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE Wednesday,April 19,2000 4:00 PM Meeting Notes The Centennial Task Force meeting was called to order at 4:00 pm by Don Custer, Chairman, in the 7th Floor Conference Room,Renton City Hall. PRESENT:, King Parker,City Councilmember,Don Custer,Chairman, Steve Anderson, Char Baker, Julie Brewer, Randy Carmical, Ralph Evans, Nancy Hoben, Doug Kyes, Del Mead, Betty Nokes, Bert Nord, Clark Petersen,Marge Richter and Greg Wilson Following self-introductions,Chairman Custer invited reports by the Action Committee Chairmen. > Process Oversight&Finance: No report at this time. > Products and Souvenirs: Research underway and report will be given at May's meeting. > Publicity: Julie Brewer advised of articles in the Renton Reporter on 4/5/00 and in the South County Journal on 4/2/00. Copies of press release materials were distributed which had been provided to the media. Brewer indicated that 180 letters had been sent to service clubs along with the Sanctioned Event Form and Goal Statement and Guideline.In addition,she noted that all information is on the website including an interactive online opportunity to submit memories of what makes Renton's history so unique. A copy of Fort Worth's 150 year anniversary program was circulated as a source of information for the committee. Randy Carmical and Brewer noted plans to publish all Sanctioned Centennial Events on a monthly basis through press releases but will only promote those events which are sponsored by the City; other participants will be responsible for their own publicity. The Renton Reporter and South County Journal are both interested in publishing historical information throughout the Centennial year. The Renton Report will publish weekly Centennial event information and would also like to publish a special Centennial edition of their newspaper on 9/6/01. The South County Journal will often feature historical photos and provide general information about Centennial events as space provide.Randy advised of a plan to invite Willard Scott to the Ceremony in concert with his 100 Year Birthday acknowledgements. Randy also noted that the Community Involvement Committee should become involved in soliciting responses to the recent letter mailings. • The Community Calendar was presented to the Renton City Council and the City budgeted $35,000.00 for a Centennial edition Community Calendar. The Renton School District, Renton Technical College, and Valley Medical Center will also contribute funds to produce the calendar. > Art—Visual&Performing:Nancy Hoben reported ideas are continuing on the proposed Pageant and that writers and directors are being contacted. The next meeting for RAPT (Renton Arts Plan Together which includes all groups identified with art,music etc.)is in May. The Pageant will include time frames with ten scenes reflecting the history of each decade to be held outside,possibly at the Renton Stadium in September 2001. A parade involving schools,and young people groups had also been suggested. Centennial Task Force Committee approval would be 'needed for both events prior to finalization. Char Baker called attention to other items,i.e. a 1%for Art project, or lasting monument.Nancy advised that an artist was chosen for a sculpture at City Hall but the proposed location and sculpture size did not work out.Nancy felt the sculpture would make a wonderful Centennial art piece. Chairman Custer inquired about funding for the pageant. Greg Wilson noted there would be a Centennial budget, however groups could also fund programs by selling tickets and seeking sponsorships. Councilmember King Parker noted that Council had general discussions about providing approximately$100,000 for the Centennial celebration, however all potential expenditures must be justified. The Community Calendar budget of $35,000 is considered part of the overall Centennial Budget for 2001. It was noted that the Mayor will need to see a Centennial budget plan prior to making a presentation to the City Council. June is budget review time for proposed project funding and the Centennial Task Force needs to develop a budget to present to the Mayor. r > Community Involvement: Steve Anderson displayed the throw quilt now completed and to be sold for about$70 each. The design incorporates historical businesses, events and other Renton identifying scenes that are very beautiful and could serve as a wall hanging. > Legacy Identifying Projects: Trolley—Steve Anderson noted that it is still under review. Coloring Book-Doug Kyes circulated a coloring book depicting Renton's artwork which could be distributed for free to children. Trail Signage—Doug Kyes circulated brochures with signs in marble and other cement materials which could be mounted on buildings,benches or as sidewalk markers to identify locations which might be important to the City's history. The cost of 12x24 marker is $850 to$1,000 each. Photos can be inlaid with weather protection plastic at $200,bronze$100,but not desirable due to patina formation and cleaning required. Locations were mentioned for possible placement.It was noted that this project could be done at any time and it would not be a lost opportunity if not done now. It was suggested that perhaps one major plaque denoting the Centennial Celebration might be considered in conjunction with a sculpture. Inquiry ensued regarding placement of the logo on street signs and buildings or possibly having a mural on the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train building. Doug Kyes also circulated a drawing of the Highlands Reservoir with the Centennial logo,however,it was noted that the City tries to keep the tanks inconspicuous. Hanging Basket/Beautification: Ralph Evans reported on different options regarding the hanging basket program: 1. Contract entire program to one contractor. 2. Involve a number of contractors for different components of the program. Cost estimates based on a 100 bracket, 200 basket program totalled $28,561. Ralph advised the small wooden baskets were felt to be too small and would dry out and the 3 baskets per pole would require too much maintenance, so the new proposal were for larger baskets, 2 per pole, made of a plastic material and to be located downtown on South 2nd and 3`1 and the intersecting streets. Having the City buy a truck for such a program would be too costly. The plastic baskets would need replanting every 6 months and the cost could drop to $18,000 in the second year. The option of seeking participation by Black River High School and the Technical College would be questionable with the new option. Ralph called attention to the Cities of Everett, Edmonds, Pioneer Square, Issaquah, and North Bed hanging basket programs and what great beauty they have brought to the areas. For about $30,000.00 he felt the City of Renton could have a super hanging basket program. Chairman Custer inquired whether the City Council has considered this as a project for the City. King Parker expressed his opinion that this would be a fantastic idea and maintenance and replacement opportunities could include business participants. After further discussion, it was moved by Ralph Evans, seconded by Clark Petersen, that the flower hanging basket program be referred to the City Council. A letter will be sent to the City Council for discussion and consideration of the baskets independently and separate from Centennial Task Force projects. Motion carried. Centennial Timeline: Report to be made in June but some information will be assembled so development of the Community Calendar can begin. From Coal to Jets: Clark Petersen advised that the Coal to Jets book has been reviewed and edited for errors with changes to reflecting necessary corrections. The publication will be ready for sale at Renton River Days. Another publication reflecting history from 1901 to 2001 could be a project for the future. Historic Preservation Ordinance: No report. Postmark: Marge Richter advised of inability to contact postal authority but will continue to pursue the matter. > New Business: Greg Wilson indicated that the next Centennial meeting is on May 17, 2000 and noted that preliminary budget figures are needed for the next meeting.The Oversight Committee is working on this aspect. King Parker inquired about a Grand Event with band,music,fireworks, etc. Other inquiries were made concerning items to be included for discussion at the 5/17 meeting. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:20 pm upon motion by Evans, second by Petersen. Motion carried. > Next Meeting,May 17,2000,4:00 pm,7th Floor Conference Room.

While the official milestone "birthday" is actually on September 6, 2001, special events, exhibitions, performances and activities will be celebrated throughout the year. The Mayor's Centennial Task Force Advisory Committee has been meeting for several months to plan and organize Renton's Centennial Celebration. Former Mayor Don Custer serves as chair of the committee whose broad membership covers many organizations and spans many generations. On Monday, March 20, 2000, the Renton City Council approved the Centennial Mission Statement, Goals and Operating Guidelines. The official City olf Renton Centennial Logo, designed by -r '�� ' t� �� ��' y _V Renton artist Doug Kyes, was also adopted. : ` "For this yeah-lon Centennial Celebration to be a success, it needs a 9broad base of support from our businessl community, civic organizations and individual boosters," said Renton Mayor Jessei Tanner. He indicated that the City is sending letters to civic organizations, neighborhood groups and businesses inviting them to consider adding an element of history to events or activities that they already host or sponsor. The City will sanction events that fall under the Centennial Mission Statement, Goals and Operating Guidelines. Organizations receiving sanctioned status for events and activities will be given authorization to use the official City of Renton Centennial logo and have the opportunity to list their event in a Centennial edition of the Community Calendar. Centennial activities, events and exhibits should provide the opportunity to instill a sense of pride in local residents, to increase regional awareness of the community, and to celebrate our quality of life. In addition to the historical side of the Centennial, the City is also interested in the "human element" and is looking for stories and ideas from Renton citizens. Do you know of someone from Renton who invented something significant, made a discovery, had a brush with fame, or wrote a novel? What about the people behind the scenes? What are the moments you `" most remember in Renton's history? "It's the citizens, t 4e4.1 F #?, 3 :F organizations and businesses that have made Renton �iE Ito4 '*• 4,t , s- � '' . �� -� �, 1 special for the past 100 years," said Mayor Tanner. 'We want to include their perspective and memories in this Centennial celebration that will be remembered for generations to come." Other aspects of the Centennial Celebration include a historical timeline and may include a lasting legacy project such as a mural or piece of artwork. Commemorative souvenir products for the Centennial, such as shirts, mugs, decals, and lapel pins, are currently under review. Some items will be distributed free of charge through utility bills, schools and at public counters while others will be sold. Renton plans to honor the past, celebrate the present and imagine the future next year during the Centennial. For additional information, check out the city's website at www.ci.renton.wa.us and click on the new Centennial logo. The Centennial section of the website features an event sanction form, the mission, goals and operations guidelines and will soon allow citizens to submit memories on-line. You may also contact Sonja Mejlaender, Special Event and Volunteer Coordinator, at 425-430-6528, for additional Centennial information. 1VV11 Mil L.

Welcome: Don opened the meet' g with self-introductions by everyone present. 2. Centennial Timeline. Ethel T,lban, Chair for Centennial Timeline, reported that the sub- committee of Don, Edie, Homer Ve .shnik, Betty Nokes, and Marilyn Petersen met last week and are seeking more committee member. befitting "young timers" for timeline balance. Both Carrie and Doug indicated they would become part of the committee. They are working with the period of 1850 to the present. Areas of focu. will include public artwork, disasters, churches and schools. The access�to the clipping file at the - m will be very helpful. Two timelines have already been completed and should serve as an -ffective reference. Ethel said she had come across the first printing of Renton's history, printed i 1919. What might the format be for presenting the timeline to the community? A folder of infor .tion was suggested, as was a mural or four-fold brochure. It was clarified that January—Decemb-r 2001 will be the Centennial celebration year, with September 6 being the actual incorporation •.te. It was agreed that an information campaign begins in September2000 for the year ahead. 3. Logo Design. Sonja presented t e logo artwork that had been submitted for review. The Task Force had many suggestions regard' g Doug's initial ideas,and requested he come back with a few more. The Task Force will then se ect three and agreed that Mr. Mayor and the council members will select one from the three. 4. Downtown Flower Basket Pro. ram. Ralph Evans, a member of the Highland Community Association, gave a presentation f• an idea that could be -an identifying project for Renton that commences during the Centennial. About a year ago, he began collecting research from other communities and what they do fo a downtown hanging basket program. His ideas for Renton include the following: that there be 3 baskets per hanger, the baskets are $12-15 to make (made by volunteers or seniors?),Renton Tec . ' .1 College could weld materials for the hangers,and that the Black River Horticulture Program ould like to be included in the program. Ralph's matrix of information has details what other ommunities do to keep the program going. Communities can contract the service for the watering Ralph has�,i had initial conversation with a few of our council members, and so far Dan Clawson, King Parker and Toni Nelson are • favor of the program idea. Mr. Mayor has expressed concern with the maintenance and waterin:,. Questions were asked — how many baskets for Renton? It would depend on the area covered. ust downtown or the bridges too? Julie Brewer indicated that it would incorporate many sectors of he community into one project and that it would leave a lasting impression. Loran suggested that •mall signage be attached to each pole signifying the Centennial that could come down later. Gre: Wilson commented that real costs need to be known before proceeding further._ It was moved by Greg, and second:d by Doug, to explore a Renton beautification project for the Centennial. Ralph Evans will r- :- . ch the .maintenance .and watering costs from the other communities and report back to Tas: Force at the April meeting. Task Force will then consider the expectations needed, and recomme . how to proceed with forward motion and direction. Motion carries. - Steve Anderson inquired if these • her communities have an Historic Preservation Ordinance. Renton does not. 5. Other Project Reports. Bob Dunn asked about a landmark dedication to the Centennial. Perhaps a piece of artwork, something permanent and lasting. Maybe there are funds in the Marketing Campaign or the 1% Art Fund. The Renton Historical Museum will be selling afghan throws, single bed size, for about$80. 6. Budget process / Funding for Renton's Centennial. Sonja indicated the need to start focusing on what the actual costs may be. Certainly, many events and novelty items will support themselves. However, some will not, and it is important to get a feel for these costs as the City of Renton is already discussing budgets for 2001 because-of the effects of 1-b95. Greg Wilson suggested have one or two retreats to serve as a planning session to focus on Centennial subjects. He offered a Boeing facility and hosting lunch. The committee appreciated the offering and committed to two half-day workshops - February 9 and February 16, from 10:30-2:30 pm, with lunch provided,at a Boeing facility. Greg will confirm withSonja, and Sonja will forward details and directions to committee members as soon as they are known. Doug will bring his revised logo suggestions and Ralph will try to bring cost estimates to the first planning session on February 9. Sonja will work with Loran Lichty on novelty product suggestions and prices, and Randy, Julie and Bob will have information-on the production of the next Community Calendar, -dated January 2001-December 2001. 6. Next Meeting: The Renton Centennial Task Force will meet February 9 and February 16, from 10:30-2:30 pm, for focus planning sessions. Until otherwise discussed or notified, regularly scheduled meetings will resume in March to be the third Wednesday of each month, at 4:00 pm in the-7th ffoor�enfexence-room.- i 5 RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE Wednesday,February 9, 2000 10:30 AM—2:30 PM Meeting Notes PRESENT: Jim Amandus, Jeri Bates, Carrie Bergquist, Randy Carmical, Don Custer, Peter Daniels, Nancy Hoben, Doug Kyes, Edie-Mae Lawyer, Del Mead, Toni Nelson, Roger Richert, Marge Richter, Ethel Telban, Larry Warren, Greg Wilson, Steve Anderson, Sonja Mejlaender, Julie Brewer, John Thompson OTHERS: Dave Harris 1. Welcome: Don opened the meeting with self-introductions by everyone present. He extended understanding and.appreciation to Boeing for their efforts to host this first focus workshop. However, due to the Boeing strike, it was relocated to City Hall. The catered lunch will still be hosted by Boeing and Classic Fare Catering. The second workshop on February 16, will also be held at City Hall. 2. Where We've Been and Where We're Going. Chairman Don Custer reviewed what had transpired in organizing the Mayor's Centennial Task Force (CTF), and the meetings over the past year. The Centennial Task Force has been "charged"with organizing the Centennial and will act as an advisory committee to the Mayor and Council members, come up with ways, means and suggestions to celebrate our history, and help decide what and how to celebrate. The Historical Society has already gone to work compiling history, and it will be decided on how to incorporate this information and move forward. Toni Nelson recommended a proposal to Council within three months to keep them abreast on Task Force's progress. The Renton City Council will want to have a wonderful celebration and will be supportive of our efforts, especially with due process and advance notice. 3. Mission Statement, Goals, and Operating Guidelines. Randy Carmical reviewed to date what had been done to complete the Mission Statement, Goals and Operating Guidelines for CTF. In a sub-committee with Edie-Mae, Char, and Sandy, they reviewed what other cities had drafted and this served as a baseline for an operating guideline. It was agreed that this statement sheet would go to the Community Services Committee and to Council about the first of March. Toni commented that the language of the mission should include all segments of the community and everyone should be welcomed to participate in the City of Renton Centennial. The Goal Statement will read, "The City of Renton's Centennial is a year-long community celebration comprised of events, activities, and exhibits that honor our past, celebrate our present, and imagine our future." Sentence 15 in the Operating Guidelines will read, "Once an activity is deemed official, the coordinators are granted permission to use the official City of Renton Centennial logo. The City of Renton Centennial logo is copyrighted artwork and may not be used without permission. The Renton Ce tennial Task Force will keep a master list of all official events, activities, and displays." It was moved by Del Mead, and seconded by Nancy Hoben, that this language be adopted. Motion carried. r I 4. Brainstorming Centennial Projects and Programs. Official Clentennial Logo — It was agreed that one of the three final logo options would be selected by majority vote at today's session. This selection, together with the other two submissions, will be presented with the Mission Statement to the Community Services Committee. Flower Basket— Sonja reported that Ralph Evans will return to the February 16 meeting with more details and costs. Nancy Hoben indicated that she knows someone who contracts this service for their business. Nancy also remarked that this idea could be a partnership between the City and the downtown businesses. Toni recommended putting the baskets at the various Cedar River bridge sites. It would be one way to start the program without becoming overwhelmed with the costs or maintenance in the first year. Centennial Products — Sonja reported that she and Loran Lichty had met to discuss how the products May be selected and distributed. The committee agreed that many of the products would support themselves from the sales price, but that it would be nice to have a few "freebies" also. Comment was made that buttons and flags are always popular collector's items. Other product suggestions were postcards of Renton's art and a post office stamp. One idea for distribution would be to put together a box of all the items and sell for a flat fee to local businesses. That way they could give the items away if they wanted, or resell them to recoup their costs. It would be the businesses choice. Community Calendars —Julie Brewer noted that the 1999 Calendar was free to the residents. It is preferred o once again have it be free in 2001. Information of sanctioned events and Timeline information would need to be received very early for printing deadlines. Toni Nelson suggested it be a City project with a Centennial theme for 2001. She will ask Council, it will go to committee, and hopefitlly become a City project with allocated funding. It is a great marketing piece for the city, and it would be likely that the stakeholders from the 1999 calendar would once again support the project. Edie-Mae moved that the City of Renton produce the Centennial Calendar. Motion carried. All agreed that it is important to get Centennial information out to the community groups as soon as posible. Randy recommended that a letter from the CTF and Mayor will be sent out to the various associations with a Sanctioned Event Application Form and the Mission Statement Guidelines. Motion carried. The letter could have donation information and a way to give feedback for suggested feature stories. Other possible locations for marketing include the Utility Bill, Renton Reporter and South County Journal. This mailing will not only create feedback but also awareness of the Centennial throughout the Renton community. Renton Historical Society Throw / Quilt — The Museum will sell this as a fundraiser. It will be single twir bed size. Boeing and Kenworth logos will be on it. Julie Brewer suggested that the official Centennial logo be inserted into the center of the "throw" design. Quantity produced will be around 500-1,000 and sell for$80 each. Art Projects — It was agreed that either a commemorative -mural or sculpture should be commissioned. Doug Kyes would like to be involved. Nancy Hoben suggested Gene Sens' building on 3rd Street as a possible space for a mural. What other space is available? Committee members were cauti qI us to use City funds for a commissioned mural on private property as there wouldn't be a guarantee to its longevity. The Renton School District should be encouraged to orchestrate art and educational projects within the classrooms. Events — It was agreed that a September 6 event should be organized, but that there would also be calendar events celebrated throughout the year. Roger Richert noted that the Nishiwaki Sister City Delegation)would be visiting Renton during the summer, likely during Renton River Days. Timeline-Julie moved and Toni seconded that the official Centennial Celebration will extend from January — December 2001. Randy moved, and Toni seconded to have an official event on September 6, the actual 100 year anniversary date of Renton's Centennial. Trolley — Steve Anderson suggested an identifying project of acquiring and restoring a 56 foot trolley that once served as a coach on the interurban railway. Renton was on this rail line. A building to house the trolley would be needed while it's being refurbished. Maybe the pavilion building could be used, tie it to the transit center, and unveil the trolley on September 6. Road Signs — Gateway entrance signs were recommended as a Centennial project. Julie reported that a such a program is currently underway. Historic Landmarks Preservation — Steve Anderson noted that Renton does not have a Historic Landmark Ordinance Where's the Human Aspect to the Centennial? Dave Harris commented that it would be very important to have the special interest stories included in the Centennial programs and celebrations. Not just reknown or popular people, but the folks behind the scenes. Special feature articles on people,places and things could appear in the local papers and the Museum newsletter. It will also be important to tie in the cultural and ethnic community to the Centennial. A suggestion was made to have a Community Involvement Committee. 5. Sub-Committee Sign-Up Sheet — See the attached document for the current Sub-Committee Sign-Up Sheet 6. Work Timelines for Centennial Projects March 2000 Mission/Goals/Operating Guidelines, Logo, Community and Calendar Project will be presented to Communit' Services Committee and to Renton City Council. A report to CTF should be ready at the March 15 meeting. Informational letter with sanctioning form and mission statement will be sent following Council approval.

Until otherwise'discussed or notified, regularly scheduled meetings will resume in March to be the third Wednesday of each month, at 4:00 pm in the 7th floor conference room. p RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE Wednesday, February 16, 2000 10:30 AM—2:30 PM Meeting Notes PRESENT: Carrie Bergquist, Randy Carmical, Don Custer, Ralph Evans, Nancy Hoben, Doug Kyes, Edie-Mae Lawyer, Del Mead, Roger Richert, Marge Richter, Ethel Telban, Greg Wilson, Steve Anderson, Sonja Mejlaender, Clark Petersen, John Thompson 1. Welcome and Introductions. Don opened the meeting with self-introductions by everyone present. 2. Review of Handouts. Sonja briefly went over the various handouts that had been prepared for today: an updated committee phone and email roster, sub-committee sign-ups to date, a general categorization of these sub-committees forming a structure to the centennial celebration, and a listed brainstorming sheet with the various ideas considered so far. 3. Hanging Flower Basket Program —Ralph Evans. Ralph Evans returned prepared with more information based on questions from the January meeting he first attended. He had copies of his report for everyone present, and that information is attached to these meeting notes for reference. Based upon all the factors of cost, initial start-up, maintenance, and starting an enhancement project that could grow with city and community support, Ralph suggested starting with 100 baskets placed on South 2nd and South 3rd in downtown Renton. The costs that he presented were based on the count of 100. ❖ 100 hangers on selected S. 2nd and S. 3rd existing poles ❖ City will put up the hangers 15 feet up ❖ 3 hooks will be on the hangers, but only 1 hanger used in the first year ❖ Wood baskets could be made at RTC ❖ Black River would generate the starter plants from seedlings, then transplant into the baskets ❖ A truck/trailer would be equipped with water container and filled from city hydrants The cost for this would be $10,500, not including the water equipment. Everett recently purchased a truck for$10,000. A trailer would be approx. $14,500. Ralph recommended the purchase of a trailer with water container so a truck could be used year-round for other tasks. Total estimated cost for the first year with trailer/watering equipment would be $25,650. (See Ralph's report for cost breakdown) Nancy asked about year-round planting costs? Costs researched so far are not year-round. Ralph also brought up safety issues, and "dead-heading" the plants 15 feet up. Who would be responsible? Poles and baskets are on sidewalks and city right of ways. Randy suggested this idea be referred to sub-committee for more information. Marge moved, and Edie-Mae seconded to have the Flower Basket Program referred to the Legacy Committee. Motion carried. 4. Other Projects for Consideration. Carrie brought up an item that was not on our brainstorming list —updating Coal to Jets. History of the last 25 years, photos, articles would be needed. Carrie, Edie-Mae, Marge and Clark expressed interest in this project. Marge moved, and Carrie seconded, that the update or completion of Coal to Jets be considered by the Legacy Committee as an identifying project. Motion carried. Ethel Telban reported that the Timeline Committee would meet today. Items considered for publishing the timeline include a folder of information, booklet, or pamphlet with illustrations. Nancy recommended that a historical play be commissioned about Renton's history. It was suggested that RAPT (Renton Arts Plan Together) be the organizing body for Centennial visual and performing art projects. Greg Wilson recommended a committee that would oversee the various project committees and structure. Greg moved, Marge seconded, that a Process, Oversight and Finance Committee be formed. Motion carried. Team members will include Randy Comical, John Thompson, Sonja Mejlaender and Greg Wilson. 5. Breakout Session by Sub-Committee. Following lunch; Don pointed out that for a task force of this size, and to facilitate forward motion, that Robert's Rules of Order be followed during all meetings unless the focus is a brainstorming session. Robert's Rules of Order will allow items and issues to be addressed without sidetracking on various topics because of questions out of order. After lunch, Process, Oversight and Finance and Legacy met to discuss sub-committee objectives, establish a work timeline, and then report back to the group before adjourning for the day. 6. Sub-Committee Reports. Clark reported on the data from the Legacy Committee. They focused on one project, the Coal to Jets book, and two ideas came from this. #1, to reprint a current revised edition of Coal to Jets and have it ready by July to have for sale. They will get quotes for production costs. This book will have the official centennial logo as part of the reprinting. #2, is to generate a new book of Renton's history, and incorporate the research that the Timeline Committee has put together. Potential author will be of a volunteer nature, and interviewed and screened by a committee. John Thompson reported on the information from the Process, Oversight and Finance Committee. The first task this sub-group suggested was to condense the sub-committees into fewer, larger groups to address the concern of too many members from Task Force on too many sub-committees. The new breakdown follows and will be presented to Task Force on March 15. ❖ Process, Oversight &Finance ❖ Products& Souvenirs ❖ Publicity(Community Calendar and Logo) ❖ Lasting Legacy Identifying Projects(add Centennial Timeline as a project) ❖ Art—Visual and Performing ❖ Community Involvement(Information mailing, sanctioned events, September 6, 2001 event) Process, Oversight and Finance will also oversee committee timelines, financial integration and coordination of budget, keep Don and Sonja informed of special needs and critical issues, resource out new ideas to committees for referrals, and assist with agenda preparation. This committee will continue to identify goals and suggest action steps. Before adjourning, it was agreed that the meeting notes of the two workshop sessions be mailed out to all Task Force members, an updated Sub-Committee list, a meeting notice reminder, and that all sub-committees meet before the March 15 meeting, identify their next steps and present information to the group. 7. Next Meeting: The Renton Centennial Task Force will meet March 15, the third Wednesday, at 4:00 pm in the 7th floor conference room. yi � RENTON CENTENNIAL TASK FORCE Wednesday,March 15,2000 4:00 PM Meeting Notes PRESENT: Char Baker, Jeri Bates, Randy Carmical, Diane Dobson, Bob Dunn, Ralph Evans, Nancy Hoben, Doug Kyes, Edie-Mae Lawyer, Loran Lichty, Del Mead, Ethel Telban, Larry Warren, Greg Wilson, Steve Anderson, Sonja Mejlaender, Julie Brewer, Betty Nokes, Clark Petersen, John Thompson 1. Welcome and Introductions. Greg Wilson opened the meeting with self-introductions by everyone present. 2. Council Approval, Task Force Scope and Action Teams. Sonja reported that the Mission Statement, Goals and Operating Guidelines, and the recommended official Centennial Logo had gone to Community Services Committee for approval. Council concurred with Task Force. Items are approved for use and distribution. Sonja also reviewed the mission of Task Force: to assist in the planning of the centennial, insure community involvement and make recommendations to Council and Mayor for projects and programs relating to the centennial celebration. Sub-committees or action teams have been organized in order to facilitate the structure and process of the task force. 3. Process, Oversight, & Finance. John Thompson reviewed the purpose of the newly established Process, Oversight and Finance Committee. This action team will act as a"hub to the wheel",be a sounding board for new ideas, refer community events for sanctioning status, and be a resource to the group and assist in the forward planning for budgets. The Mayor will entertain various ideas and events, new programs and legacy building projects as part of the centennial. Budget proposals should be in draft form by mid June for his consideration. 4. Action Team Reports. Products and Souvenirs — Sonja had rough cost estimates for having a two color, official logo sticker for each Renton School District student, and for a vinyl static.cling decal to be inserted into all City of Renton utility bills. Cost of 20,000, two color decals (3,000 extra) would be approximately $2,200.00. Cost of 15,000, two color stickers are approximately $650.00. Sonja and the committee will continue to research costs of products and souvenirs—some will be given out, and some will recoup the initial costs through sales of the items. Publicity: Julie Brewer noted that this fall, the press campaign will begin with promoting the official logo and the preliminary line-up of events and activities. Community Calendar: Toni Nelson has referred this program to become an ongoing City function and that it would not be part of the budget for centennial, but for 2001, the calendar would have a centennial theme. Community Services Committee will consider this recommendation, and it will go to council. Arts Report: Nancy Hoben reviewed the February 28 meeting of Renton Arts Plan Together (RAPT). It was a wonderful brainstorming session with a few focused ideas —to host a costume pageant or play and have the music appropriate to the decades. For visual arts, there is a sculpture in the works that may be a ready to go centennial project with funding in place from the 1% for art fund. Nancy also noted that another popular suggestion was having several children and adults art and photography contests. The next RAPT meeting will be March 20. Community Involvement. Larry Warren agreed to chair this action team. It was suggested that this group review the list of who the "outreach letter" with sanctioning form is mailed to, to ensure thorough infiltration and opportunity throughout the community. Legacy Projects. Steve Anderson reported that the Trolley has a $100,000 purchase price and would likely be up to $300,000 to restore it before the unveiling (this amount does not include storing it somewhere) — which would not happen in the fall of 2001. It would take longer that than. There is a team from the museum who will meet to also discuss the feasibility of this project. Doug Kyes had done some research on trail or landmark signage for the downtown area buildings. A 12 x 24 etched marble granite sign would be up to $900, and brass $300 (may look like a "bad penny" before too long. Ralph Evans had more information to share regarding the beautification basket program. After more research,he feels the expense for one time costs would be $11,400, and the first year of planting, watering and maintenance would be $11,800. An action team of Ralph, Nancy Hoben, Diane Dobson and Clark Petersen agreed to meet, review costs and options, and report back to the group with a recommendation. Ethel reported that her Centennial Timeline Committee had identified 35 topics and events for research. She plans to have a draft ready by June 1. There will be many uses for this information. Clark Petersen reported progress being made on the revised edition of From Coal to Jets. It is being scanned, read for factual content and an editing committee will review with revisions. Clark anticipates going to bid for printing in June, and to have the books ready by the end of July for Renton River Days. Steve did not have a report for Historic Preservation at this time. And Marge Richter was not present to present information about the Centennial Postmark. 5. New Business. A motion was made to establish an official link to the Marketing Campaign representatives. Randy Carmical will serve as this liaison. Motion carried. 6. Next Meeting: The Renton Centennial Task Force will meet April 19th, the third Wednesday, at 4:00 pm in the 7th floor conference room.

Citizen Comment: Watson— Shelly Watson, 310 Meadow Ave.N.,Renton, 98055, chastised the City for Renton Code Enforcement; letting the owner of several multi-family properties run up a$10,000 Multi-Family Housing delinquent water utility bill before finally interrupting service to his properties. Problems She felt that this person and others similar to him work the system,and she accused the City of allowing this type of problem to continue. Adding that she was greatly disappointed in Renton's enforcement of its City Code provisions, she was further disturbed by alleged over-occupancies of properties located across the street from her home as well as possible criminal activity in her neighborhood. Council President Corman replied that Renton recently doubled its Code enforcement efforts, a clear signal that the City is starting to take even these minor transgressions very seriously. He felt that the water shutoff incident described by Ms. Watson would put other landlords on notice that delinquent bills will not be tolerated.

Events which include the active participation of those representing all segments of the community (i.e., age groups, cultural backgrounds, geographic locations; including citizens residing. outside of the corporate city limits) are encouraged. 3.. All official Renton Centennial celebration events, activities, and dispIllays are sanctioned by the Renton Centennial Task Force and approved by the Mayor of Renton. All activities should be organized and conducted in a manner that will project a positive image for the community. 4. Once an activity is deemed official, the coordinators are granted. permission to use the official City of Renton Centennial logo. The City of Renton Centennial logo is copyrighted artwork and may not be used without permission. The Renton Centennial Task Force will keep a master list of all official events, activities, and displays. 5. Events should be reviewed in light of the purpose of Renton's Centennial with thought to liability exposure, the ability to be financially self-supporting, and appeal to a broad range of participants. - - •-1,'•,4 -"• ,- ,, sent° • . • .. : ,- .,,•:..4-4,.:.,,'-,i,„,:.,,,•,,'.4-'i.'F-'.,,.::L'.,.;s •,.:,1,'e":.'.,,..-,;.',:.:,7,..'-,. .c..',. .s..,_L• 1,z•.'.,',,'.--:,'''(,(..,,:..-:?,'.,,;:,,'-..•0,„,...`.!...:.,'.,...„1`.:;-:',,:.",':,,-.'.•;/-•!;•_.::i:'...',".''.:.:f-...:f.1.-:`1 a.'.;-.,.'':.:'„... .:•E%...„?.,'.4.:..:•,„ 1901)..P:—„..„.,..'-•., :‘.: 2001 - ' '.-''''`:::';'•'•-‘•-4:,l'i; ' ' ''',.';'-*-`,'`..7",- .. . ... .. ... .„ . = , , 2 ' •••.,,''''''::-.1:; '';',''''::•1 : . - ,,•?..,'• , , , • • - ' • .... •-• , ,,-' -.., .'1.''''-,-,i'•,'' -••'• _ , 0 ,":' '7t'•, :':1' .' : • ' '' .
