ADMINISTRATIVE Derek Todd, Assistant to the CAO, reviewed a written administrative report REPORT summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2004 and beyond. Items noted included: The Renton Senior Activity Center will celebrate its 25th anniversary on September 26th, and everyone is invited to join in the celebration anytime between 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The official ceremony takes place at 12:30 p.m. As of September 16th, the City street crew picked up a total of 389 stray shopping carts from throughout the City - 148 of those carts were from Wal-Mart and 97 from Fred Meyer. The carts are classified as garbage and September 20, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 312 will be destroyed. The City will talk to Wal-Mart about an "amnesty" return of their carts, but wants assurance that they will take measures to improve recovery of their shopping carts. As of September 17th, a total of 1,508 human cases of West Nile Virus with 45 deaths have been reported in 39 states. Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii have no detection of the virus. Streets: Grocery Cart Mayor Keolker-Wheeler commented on the Administrative Report item Abandonment concerning abandoned shopping carts, and emphasized that the "amnesty" return of the carts will only be allowed one time, and only if the store agrees to pick up its own carts. Council President Persson noted the expense of the loss of the shopping carts to the stores. The Mayor stated that she hopes the stores will comply with retrieving their shopping carts on a voluntary basis. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Vacation: Alley, NE 30th St & accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Kennewick PI NE, Renton public hearing to consider the street vacation petition submitted by Rick School District, VAC-04-003 Stracke, on behalf of the Renton School District, for portion of the unimproved alley located east of I-405, west of Kennewick Pl. NE, and south of NE 30th St. (Kennydale Elementary School Vacation; VAC-04-003). Karen McFarland, Engineering Specialist, stated that the 448-foot by 12-foot alley right-of-way is located within the Kennydale Elementary School site, and has been overbuilt with playfields, asphalt play surfaces, and a school building. Ms. McFarland explained that the Renton School District plans to replace Kennydale Elementary School, and the vacation will create a unified site for the redevelopment project. Stating that the vacation petition received no objections when circulated to City department and outside agencies, Ms. McFarland noted that the City's 15-foot easement sufficiently protects the existing six-inch water line. Ms. McFarland relayed that City Code (9-14-5E) states: "When a street or alley is vacated for a governmental agency, and compensation is required, compensation shall be based upon the administrative costs of the vacation and may, at the discretion of the City Council, be based upon original cost to the City of acquisition." She explained that the City did not incur any original acquisition costs, as the property was acquired through a plat dedication, and City funds were not expended to maintain the right-of-way. Therefore, staff recommends that Council approve the request to vacate the alley right-of-way and set compensation based solely on the administrative costs as per City Code. Public comment was invited. Owen Dennison, 316 Occidental Ave. S., Suite 320, Seattle, 98104, representing the Renton School District, stated that vacation of the right-of-way will provide more latitude in the design of the new school. Pointing out that no public cost or detriment to the health, safety, and welfare of the general public will occur as a result of this vacation, Mr. Dennison requested approval of the vacation as recommended by City staff. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. September 20, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 313 MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL APPROVE THE REQUEST TO VACATE THE ALLEY AND SET COMPENSATION BASED ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. CARRIED. AUDIENCE COMMENT David Hamilton, 283 SW 41st St., Renton, 98055, asserted that the process by Citizen Comment: Hamilton - which the Council made its decision to rename SW 41st St. to SW IKEA Way Rename SW 41st St to SW was poorly handled. Mr. Hamilton stated his concerns as follows: public IKEA Way comment was discouraged and the lack of input from interested parties led to an uninformed decision, the anti -competitive decision is not supportive of the affected business district, the replacement of the highway and street signs is a poor use of the taxpayer's money, the precedent it sets is poor, and the possibility that IKEA will move out of Renton when its lease expires in 2009 should be considered. Stressing that the wrong decision was made, he urged Council to leave SW 41st St. as is and find another way to honor IKEA. Citizen Comment: Williams - Shelley Williams, 253 SW 41st St., Renton, 98055, stated that the street name Rename SW 41st St to SW change from SW 41st St. to SW IKEA Way greatly impacts the Dressler Stencil IKEA Way Company, which is primarily a mail order business and a manufacturing facility. She indicated that the company has three to five years worth of materials that list this address, and the costs to change the catalog, portfolio, letterhead, note cards, and instruction sheets is a financial burden. Pointing out that the Dressler Stencil Company is incurring the cost to advertise for IKEA, Ms. Williams stated that the City is honoring a big company like IKEA while turning away from the small companies. In response to the Councilmembers questions, Ms.. Williams estimated that the cost the company will incur due to the street name change is $157,000 in a three-month period. She detailed the nature of the business and how often various materials are ordered and updated. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL SUSPEND THE RULES AND ADVANCE TO THE CORRESPONDENCE CONCERNING THIS MATTER. CARRIED. Added The following e-mail was read into the record in opposition to the renaming of CORRESPONDENCE SW 41st St. to SW IKEA Way: Dr. Gerald T.

Objections included the expense of new stationary, business cards, advertising, and other related costs; the lack of reimbursement for the expenses; the setting of a precedent; and giving IKEA free advertising at the expense of the affected businesses. Councilman Clawson stated that he is willing to review the matter again, and wants specific proof from the affected businesses of the costs related to the street name change. He indicated that he was not aware that a business faces a large financial loss, and would like the opportunity to assess this new information. Councilwoman Briere said the matter was discussed at two Transportation Committee meetings at which multiple citizen comments were heard. She noted that the name -change costs submitted by the affected businesses were reviewed. Ms. Briere informed that she is a business owner who has September 20, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 314 experienced a street name change, and noted that it gave her an opportunity to connect with her clients again when informing them of the change. Councilwoman Palmer explained that this was not a sudden decision made in secret. Comments were listened to and the matter was carefully reviewed. Councilwoman Nelson described how donations were solicited for Renton River Days and the Performing Arts Center, and noted that IKEA's generous donations were the reason the festival and the arts center were named for IKEA. She pointed out that there are many opportunities for businesses to donate so as to have an event named for their business. Ms. Nelson also indicated her willingness to look at the matter again. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler pointed out that staff forwarded all of the information it has concerning this matter to Council. Councilman Corman stated that he would like to know if any businesses are being disproportionately affected by the street name change. Council discussed whether the matter should be brought before Council again. It was determined that Council would accept additional information for the next two weeks, review the information, and then make a determination as to whether the matter should be taken up again.

The Committee acknowledges the hard work and long hours the members of the Human Services Advisory Committee have given to the year -long funding process, both in expanding their knowledge of the needs and gaps in Renton services, in identifying new trends, and in application review and agency interviews. The City is currently developing a plan to implement the Human Services Element in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This will address several of the issues raised this funding cycle such as how to meet emerging needs while continuing to fund current services. Until the plan is complete and funding guidelines for the 2007/2008 funding process have been developed, funding will not be decreased to agencies currently receiving General Funds or CDBG public services funding, contingent upon agencies meeting contract requirements. It is recommended that funding be restored to all agencies to their 2004 levels, with inclusion of one new program, Hearing, Speech and Deafness Center, to be funded. The funding process has raised a number of issues this year. For the 2007/2008 funding process, an ad hoc committee will develop funding guidelines that are sensitive to the needs of agencies for stable funding, while addressing the changing needs of the community's diverse population. The Committee further recommended adoption of the 2005 CDBG Contingency Plan. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

We will be talking to Wal-Mart about an "amnesty" return of their carts, but will want assurances that they will take measures to improve recovery of their shopping carts. • Renton residents will see a change in the day their garbage, recycling, and yard waste are collected beginning October 4"'. In an effort to increase efficiency of residential curbside solid waste collection in Renton, all residential curbside pick-ups will occur on Monday and Tuesday. Customers will soon receive printed information about the change in their collection day. • As of September 17'h, a total of 1,508 human cases of West Nile Virus with 45 deaths have been reported in 39 states, with a majority located in California with 443, Arizona with 353, and Colorado with 225.

Eight states, all located in the northeast, have only bird or animal detections and no human cases. • Late last week the Maintenance Shops crew removed silt material from the channel of Rolling Hills Creek at the Renton Village Shopping Center behind Thriftway. Enlargement of the channel improved flow capacity through the creek and should reduce incidents of flooding in the shopping center parking lot. However, long- term improvements in the size of the drainage piping through the site are still required. POLICE DEPARTMENT • During the month of September, the Traffic Unit will be aggressively enforcing school zones and seat belt violations. n ��N POD City of Renton PUBLIC INFORMATION HANDOUT September 20, 2004 STREET VACATION PETITION VAC-04-003 For additional information, please contact: Karen McFarland; City of Renton Technical Services 425.430.7209 DESCRIPTION: The City Council will hear a proposal requesting the vacation of an alley right-of-way south of NE 30th Street that is approximately 448' in length and 12' in width. The requested vacation area is shown on the accompanying map exhibit. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council approve the request to vacate the alley right-of-way. SUMMARY: A vacation petition was received July 13, 2004, from Rick Stracke on behalf of the Renton School District. City Code requires that more than two-thirds (2/3) of the owners whose property abuts the alley to be vacated must sign the petition. One - hundred percent (100%) of the abutting property owners have signed this petition. The portion of right-of-way included in this petition was dedicated in the plat of CD Hillman's Lake Washington Garden of Eden Addition to Seattle No. 1 on July 22, 1904. Public facilities within the requested area include a 6-inch water line lying within a 15- foot easement. This easement sufficiently protects the existing facilities and thus a separate easement would not need to be retained as part of this vacation request. None of the City Departments surveyed have objections to the vacation. The requested vacation area will be used in the Renton School District redevelopment, which plans to replace the existing Kennydale Elementary School. The public benefit provided by the proposed vacation would be to create a unified site for the Kennydale Elementary School site. Currently, the right-of-way has been overbuilt with playfields, asphalt play surfaces and a school building.

My objection is in general principle. A Governing body, such as a city government, is created to provide stewardship of communal resources for the greater good of it's citizenry. A governing body is not a business, and should not operate like a business. It has a higher duty and responsibility. The Renton's IKEA store has demonstrated to be a most generous community citizen and should be recognized for their generosity. However, I do not believe renaming of public property, provided by the citizens and intrusted to the city, should be singled out as the most appropriate venue. Renaming of community assets such as streets, to honor special people or companies, is a common practice of city governments throughout the country. However, the commonality does not make the practice right. restate my objection to renaming of SW 41st St. to SW IKEA Way.

My father, Jerry Jones retired City of Renton Fire Dept. many years ago. I own a new startup business called Westcoast Painting, LLC which is a little more than two years old now. We are growing rapidly and are coming to the end of our first 2 year lease here at 265 SW 41sc I did not know about the prior meetings and want to voice my opinion now as I am opposed to changing of our street name. This change would give us additional costs in our printing with a lot of un-foreseen soft costs and inconveniences in the future by having many customers and employees struggling with a change of address. Our double and triplicate form printing costs alonewith our full color logo business cards (for 21 employees) would be almost $9,000. We are not big business (like IKEA) but do employ about 40 local employees. Our lease is up next March and we do love Renton (our current location) and want to keep our business here. As a commercial painting contractor, we do already struggle with the changed Renton fire codes restricting our operations to 5 gallons or less in flammables. I am surprised that the City has already allowed IKEA to paint 2 city blocks with their bright royal blue and then also to erect the largest, highest and bluest sign in the county (which is probably dangerous for the local small planes). If these items have not been enough, now they propose changing the street name for their notoriety also. I wonder how much of the tax payer's money has been spent on this item with all of the lobbying, research, studies and surveys. The City never has been compelled to name streets after Boeing, Pacific Car and Foundry or Kenworth and I do not see why it should be considered now. I think it would be appropriate if it was a newly constructed road and did not adversely affect any other businesses. I have read how IKEA has donated money to City Performing Arts, Tech College and the Renton River Days and I think it is great that IKEA supports a community that has supported them so well. I hope that our City Council does not put IKEA's name being on the street signs ahead of the well being of us other 48 affected small and large businesses that reside on SW 41" Street. My final question is "If the change is made, who do I send the bill to?"

It seems as though the city recognizes only the large companies. As a result, the smaller companies are forced to incur additional unrecoverable expenses. We feel it commendable that the City Council wishes to recognized IKEA's efforts. We are appalled that the recognition is at the expense of all the remaining businesses on SW 4Is' Street, including us. We have estimated our expenses in the tens of thousands of dollars. This estimate is only the monetary cost of reprinting business cards, letterhead, product brochures, product manuals, internal documents, and all other items with our printed address. We have yet to accurately estimate the additional expenses, including payroll, we will incur during the transition. We take our hats off to IKEA for all of their contributions to the community. We can only imagine the wealth of the local community if all its businesses were able to contribute as IKEA has. We are sure that more businesses, including our own, are willing to contribute to the community but just do not have the financial standing to do so. Surely the Council can find another way to recognize IKEA without causing hardship to the rest of us. Regards, John W.

Here is our story: Code Four Athletics is a retailer of team athletic apparel relating primarily to the soccer industry. Our marketing efforts reach a national audience. Our website has averaged 7,000 visits per month this year; roughly 70,000 "hits" per month. Our address is located throughout the site, as it's constructed to be visible at all times. This year we distributed 6,000 catalogs with the address being prominently displayed on the front cover. Our anticipated costs of the address change are listed as follows: - Stationery costs for an annual supply including set-up fees $2500 - Time spent by our phone staff spelling and repeating "SW IKEA Way" to people unfamiliar with the term: priceless Today's retail consumer is bombarded with thousands of impressions daily from various entities all trying to "reach" their potential customer. Bearing this limited attention span in mind, it is the attempt of a savvy marketing company to clearly state the purpose and intention of its service and/or products to their potential prospect. Our marketing materials would result in providing an unclear message to our prospects. Which impression would be made upon our prospect reading these materials? Code Four Athletics or IKEA?? If there is any question by the consumer, then it is not cost-effective advertising. We applaud the contributions IKEA has made to the Renton community. It is a fine business. We have furnished our offices with IKEA products. However, we find it difficult that our marketing dollars will have to be used to help spread their message to our prospects, rather than exclusively spreading our own unique message.

Change Order #1: $3,032.37 (trench drain, concrete, deduction of catch basin frames and grates) Change Order #2: $2,176.00 (additional paving at park entrances) Change Order #3: $1,740.80 (abate asbestos main line pipe) Change Order 94: $13,993.31 (concrete, excess fill hauling, utility location, conduit and electrical boxes, irrigation head and pipes) An interfund transfer of $6,900.10 from account 10 1. 000000. 020.5760.0010.48. 0000000 to account 316.000000.020.5940.0076.63.020034 is requested for the expenses of the irrigation controller and a utility locate. The irrigation controller is a new remote control system that updates the old manual irrigation controller. The utility locate was necessary because the as -built plans for Kiwanis Park were outdated. Both these items fall under nark maintenance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approves the interfund transfer on recommendation from the Finance Committee, accepts the project, authorizes final payment of $17,870.46 to Advanced Construction, Inc., and releases the retainage amount of $6,187.42 upon receipt of all required liens and releases. 2004-142aa State of Washington Department of Revenue ��► PO Box 47474 REVENUE Olympia WA 98504-7474 Contractor's Registration No. (UBI No.) Date NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACT From: City of Renton Tracy Schuld 1055 S.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: The City received a 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition on August 13, 2004 calling for the annexation of a 12.73-acre irregularly shaped site that is located east and abutting the Johnson Annexation south of NE 10"' Street, if extended. The majority of the eastern boundary of the annexation site is defined by existing wetlands. Under state law (RCW 35.A.14.120) the Council must set a date not later than 60 days after the filing of the request, for a meeting with the initiating parties to decide whether to accept, reject or geographically modify the proposed annexation. If Council accepts the 10% Notice of Intent Petition and authorizes circulation of the 60% Direct Petition it would typically require acceptance of the City's current land use designation (RLD) on the site with future zoning consistent with this designation. The mostly likely zoning at this time is R-4, four units per net acre. The Direct Petition would also stipulate that property owners within the annexation area accept their proportional share of the City's outstanding bonded indebtedness upon annexation. City staff have reviewed the 10% Notice of Intent Petition and no major issues have been raised. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That Council set October 4, 2004 for a public meeting to consider whether to accept, reject or geographically modify the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition for the proposed Wed ewood Lane Annexation. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bh CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: September 13, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President City Council Members VIA: jL Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator KVA Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson (X-6581) SUBJECT: 10% Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Petition for the Proposed Wedgewood Lane Annexation ISSUE: The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition for a 12.73-acre site abutting and east of the Johnson Annexation and south of NE 10"' Street, if extended (see Figure 1, Vicinity Map). State law requires that the Council hold a public meeting with annexation proponents to decide whether to accept, reject or geographically modify their proposal, whether, upon annexation to require property owners within the annexation site to assume their fair share of the City's outstanding indebtedness and the simultaneous adoption of City zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION: On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the 10% Notice of Intent petition for the area depicted in Figure 1. If Council concurs with this recommendation, the Administration recommends that Council take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120): • Authorize the circulation of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex for the proposed area; • Require that the petition stipulate that upon annexation City zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan would be applied; and, • Require that the petition stipulate that upon annexation property owners within the proposed area assume their proportional share of the City's outstanding indebtedness. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The irregular shaped Wedgewood Lane Annexation site has not previously been considered for annexation to Renton. It is located immediately east of the proposed Johnson Annexation, which will be considered by Council this fall. Wedgewood Lane Annexation September 13, 2004 Page 2 1. Location: The proposed 12.73-acre Wedgewood Lane annexation site is located south of NE 10`h Street (SE 116d' Street), if extended, and east of Jericho Avenue NE. It is immediately east of the proposed Johnson Annexation. 2. Assessed value: The current estimated assessed value is approximately $575,340. 3. Natural features: The site generally slopes west to east towards Honey Creek, which crosses the northeast corner of the site near SE 117`b Street at about a 7% slope. (see Figure 2, Topography). Much of the eastern boundary of this annexation is defined by existing wetlands associated with Honey Creek. 4. Existing land uses: Existing development includes an existing single-family dwelling on a five acre site and vacant parcels (see Figure 3, Existing Structures). 5. Existing zoning_ King County zoning is R-4. R-4 allows up to a base density of four units per gross acre, and up to six units per acre with incentives and transfer of density credits. 6. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel Residential Low Density (RLD). Potential zoning under the RLD designation includes RC, R-1, R-5, and the proposed new R-4 zone. The R-4 zone, with a maximum density of four units per net acre, is intended to replace the R-5 zone, once it is adopted later this year. 7. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Water Utility. The subject area is within the water service area of Water District #90 by agreement under the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan. A certificate of water availability from the District will be required prior to the issuance of development permits within the subject area, following annexation to the City. Hydrant flow test and hydraulic analysis of the District's system will also be required for new development in the annexed area. The District must provide adequate water supply and pressure for new development within the City and must meet Renton's standards for fire protection and domestic water service. Surface Water Utility. Staff notes that this annexation is located in the Honey Creek sub -basin of the May Creek basin and that the wetlands that define much of its eastern boundary are actually the headwaters of Honey Creek. In addition, they note that King County designated Wetland #6 (a Class 2 wetland) is less than a''/z mile downstream to the northwest and has suffered some degradation due to road construction, illegal dumping and buffer reduction. Surface Water staff recommend that future development be required to use the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual, Level 2-Flow Control and basic water quality treatment. Also, at some point additional staffing may be needed to meet the needs of serving this and other annexations occurring in the East Renton Plateau. Sewers. The area is not currently served by sewer. The nearest sewer line at this time is a line near the intersection of SE 118d' Street and 142"d Avenue SE. Sewers would be extended by a combination of developer extension, local improvement districts and City capital improvement projects. Parks. The City has a shortfall of both neighborhood and community parkland in this area. King County owns about 39-acres of parkland, primarily undeveloped, about 2/3rd's of a mile to the east/southeast of the proposed annexation. In the past, the County has expressed an interest in conveying these properties to the City, with their annexation. Development of the Wedgewood Lane Annexation September 13, 2004 Page 3 parkland would occur at the City's expense. The projected cost of developing this land into a community park is estimated by Parks staff to be $3,000,000 with an annual maintenance cost of $175,000 in today's dollars. The direct parks costs attributable to this annexation are estimated to be $23,982.32, as shown in the attached fiscal analysis worksheet. Fire. The area is currently served by Fire District #10. Upon annexation, the City would takeover these services from the district. The City should verify that adequate water supply is available from Water District #90's system for fire protection of new development. Public Works Maintenance. Maintenance staff noted that the only organized drainage is roadside ditches. All abutting street right-of-ways are intended to be included in the annexation. ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION: Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The annexation policies generally support the proposed annexation. The subject properties are within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and are subject to development pressure. (Policies LU-378 and LU-380) The area is available for urbanization under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations. (Policy LU-380) Renton is the logical provider of most urban infrastructure and services to the area. (Policy LU-383). Policy LU-388 states that, in general, the greater the contiguity with the city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The area proposed for annexation is abuts the city limits along approximately 15% of its boundaries. If the abutting Johnson Annexation is successful this would increase to 36%. Proposed boundaries also are generally identifiable in the field. (Policy LU-388). 2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives: (from RCW 36.93.180) a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities; The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community. b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways, and land contours; Boundaries either follow proposed City boundaries and/or natural features such as the wetlands edge that defines much of the annexation site's eastern boundary. C. Creation and preservation of logical service areas; Not applicable. d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries; The boundaries are somewhat irregular but the Boundary Review Board concurred with the proposed use of the wetlands to the east as a reasonable physical boundary. e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated urban areas; Not applicable. f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts; Wedgewood Lane Annexation September 13, 2004 Page 4 Not applicable. g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries; Neither the existing nor the proposed boundaries are impractical. h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated areas which are urban in character; and, King County has designated this area for urban development. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the county legislative authority. Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation site are designated for long-term productive agricultural use in the King County Comprehensive Plan. Rural lands are generally east of 148f' Avenue SE. CONCLUSION: The proposal is essentially consistent with City policies and Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. No impediments to the provision of City services to the area have been identified. The attached fiscal analysis indicates that at full development with + 44 dwellings this annexation would generate a profit of $13,076 per year but have a one-time parks improvement/development cost attributable to it of approximately $24,000.

A wetland edge could be considered as a suitable physical boundary for an annexation, pursuant to RCW 36.93. The proposal would also need to be consistent with other provisions of RCW 36.93 and additional applicable regulations. There has been no recent application that has been designed to include a wetland as an annexation boundary. However, the Board has approved a number of annexations in which a natural feature (e.g., water body) has been proposed as a physical boundary. We would be pleased to provide a preliminary review of a proposed annexation in the event that such a service would be of value to your office. We look forward to working with you to evaluate this application. Sincerely, Lenora W.

An addendum to CAG 00-104 is required to reflect the updated scope of work, cost estimate and schedule. RECOMMENDATION: • Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Addendum # 4 to CAG 00-104 which revises the scope of work, cost estimate and schedule for the Business Assistance Program: Waste Prevention/Recycling/Buy Recycled. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Following issuance of a Request for Proposals and consultant evaluations in March 2000, the City selected Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc. (Cascadia) to implement the Solid Waste Utility's ongoing Business Recycle Program. The contract with Cascadia resulted in waste reduction and recycling technical assistance including site visits to select businesses, promotion of the program, recognition of Renton Businesses that have implemented recycling programs, and general project management. Funding for this program is provided through the King County Solid Waste Division's Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant. In year's past, this grant was issued on an annual basis. Because this grant was an annual grant, we were unable to provide for a multi -year consultant contract and had to amend the contract each year to reflect the new funding. This year, the Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant is approved for 2004/2005. September 3, 2004 Page 2 While we must still amend the consultant contract to reflect the new appropriation, this year's grant is a two-year grant enabling us to amend the contract through 2005. Staff proposes amending CAG 00-104 to continue and expand business recycling activities in 2004/2005. The three target audiences for 2004/2005 are businesses, property managers, and schools. For businesses, the emphasis will be on cutting costs and improving business performance through resource conservation and proper recycling of materials such as fluorescent tubes and computer monitors. For schools, the emphasis will be on providing waste and pesticide reduction assistance as requested. And finally, we will continue to provide on- going technical assistance to any business interested in implementing, or expanding their current, waste reduction and recycling program. The total for this contract addendum is $ 74,000.00. This amount has been approved through the 2004 budget process (account # 403/000000/018.5370.0060.41.000111) and is fully funded through the King County Solid Waste Division's 2004/2005 WRR grant program. CONCLUSION: Through this addendum, Renton businesses will realize continuity of resource conservation technical services with the consultant that best knows the Renton waste reduction & recycling landscape and needs of Renton businesses. Cascadia has performed well for the City of Renton and has developed positive relationships with businesses both large and small that will enable them to take businesses to the next level of resource conservation that will be of benefit to both our City and the health of the business. cc: Lys Hornsby H:\File Sys\SWU - Solid Waste Utility\SWU-17- Projects\SWU-17-0003 - Business Recycling\CAG00104Addend#4Issue.doc/LKtp DATED ADDENDUM NO. 4 TO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITH June 22. 2004 Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc.

CITY OF RENTON Consultant Name Mayor V(v /151iit/904� Title 7/,3 /oy Date Date ATTEST: City Clerk 2004ADDEND#4cag00104. DOC/Ik EXHIBIT A: 2004-05 SCOPE OF WORK RENTON BUSINESS RECYCLES PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The 2004-05 Renton Businesses Recycle Program is designed to continue to increase waste diversion and encourage businesses and institutions to conserve resources through waste prevention, recycling, and other strategies. The two target audiences for 2004-05 are businesses and schools. For businesses, the emphasis will be on cutting costs and improving business performance through resource conservation and on promoting the use of recycled -content products; for schools, the emphasis will be on providing waste and pesticide reduction assistance as requested, as well as conducting a school recycling survey, and if possible, providing an IPM training to groundskeepers in the Renton School District. The following ten tasks describe the scope for the 2004 Renton Businesses Recycle Program. They are divided into three general categories: research, outreach and technical assistance, and reporting. f RESEARCH TASKS ` ' Task 1. Business Phone Survey The consultant will conduct a brief phone survey with randomly selected medium- to large -sized Renton businesses. The phone survey will serve as a source of information for tailoring business outreach and technical assistance, as well as a recruitment tool for one-on-one assistance visits. Specifically, the phone survey will help determine the following about Renton businesses: • Knowledge about appropriate disposal of electronics; • Interest in participating in a City -sponsored electronics collection; • Recycled -content purchasing habits (such as where supplies are purchased — including toner cartridges, paper products, janitorial supplies); • Willingness to try materials (such as recycled -content paper); and • Interest in receiving one-on-one free resource conservation assistance from the City, including recycling, energy savings, environmental purchasing, proper disposal of hazardous waste. Task 2. Renton Businesses Recycle Guide Update The consultant will update the Renton Businesses Recycle service provider guide. The last update occurred in 2002. Updates will include making necessary contact information changes and adding new providers, especially in the electronics and construction waste recycling arenas. The revised service provider list will be printed in one color, and will be distributed to targeted Renton businesses as well as provided to others interested in receiving the information. The consultant will work with the City of Renton Project Manager to make the updated guide available on the City of Renton's website. Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc. 1 Renton Businesses Recycle Program 7112104 Scope of Work 2004-05 Task 3. School Recycling Survey The consultant will survey the 20 schools in Renton School District (elementary, middle, and high schools) to determine how satisfied schools are with their recycling program. The survey may include interviewing administrative staff, maintenance staff, cafeteria staff, and teachers to better understand perceptions of their current recycling systems and barriers to improving their recycling programs. Task 4. Business Recognition Criteria The consultant will develop criteria for providing recognition to businesses that conserve Renton's resources through recycling and waste reduction activities. Once the criteria have been established, the consultant will work through the City's Economic Development office, Mayor's office, and/or the Chamber of Commerce to explore providing recognition through certificates, news articles, or organizing a breakfast awards ceremony in 2005. Task 5. IPM for the School District The consultant will research the current status of Integrated Pest Management practices within the Renton School District by administering a survey to the grounds staff (preferably face-to-face). Using the results from the assessment survey, and depending upon level of interest from the school district, the consultant will facilitate a discussion with grounds leads to suggest changes that will lead to less chemical use, and develop an evaluation plan. It may include helping to set up a demonstration area, conducting an IPM workshop for the grounds maintenance staff, and/or helping to implement and promote an IPM School Policy throughout the district. OUTREACH ANDTECHNICAL ASSIS,T�?kNCE TASKS;k��y „< x . , a r Task 6. Promotional Campaign The campaign this year will focus either on promoting recycled -content materials or on electronics recycling. The decision will be based on the results of Task 1 Business Phone Survey, as well as the consultant's research on what type of campaign will be most successful. Depending on the focus, promotional activities may include: 1. Recycled -content purchasing incentives: The consultant will obtain items, such as recycled - content office supplies, to provide to businesses on a first -come, first -served basis during a limited time. The consultant will design and print a mailing piece announcing the promotion, and will mail it to all Renton businesses. Businesses will call the consultant to obtain these items. These business contacts will create an opportunity to offer further technical assistance. 2. Electronics collection: The consultant will work with Total Reclaim to design a one -day event to collect electronics from businesses. The consultant will design and print a mailing piece announcing the event, and will mail it to all Renton businesses. Businesses will call the consultant to participate in the event. These business contacts will create an opportunity to offer further technical assistance. Task 7. On -Site Business Technical Assistance Following the completion of Task 1 Business Phone Survey, the consultant will conduct in-depth on -site, one-on-one resource conservation and recycling assistance to at least 30 businesses (most of these businesses will be recruited through the phone survey). Other businesses will come from referrals. Cascadia Consulting Group, Inc. 2 Renton Businesses Recycle Program 7112104 Scope of Work 2004-05 Task 8. School Technical Assistance Following Task 3 School Phone Survey, the consultant will meet with the Renton Project Manager upon completion of the school recycling awareness survey, to devise an appropriate strategy for conducting targeted technical assistance. The consultant will provide tailored on -site recycling and waste prevention assistance to up to three Renton schools that request it during the course of the 2004-2005 school year and the first half of the 2005-2006 school year. Assistance may include a waste walk-through at an elementary, middle, and/or high school, and with a follow-up report that includes recommendations to increase waste reduction and recycling activities at the school. y; .� C REPORTING TASKS i v _�....._...._�_... , �� ...., Task 9. Program Evaluation/Final Report The consultant will evaluate program activities in relation to original objectives and results, and develop recommendations for future initiatives and activities. This evaluation will be included in a final report that will also summarize program activities and accomplishments for the year. Task 10. Project Management The consultant will communicate with Renton staff and other team members via phone, email, and meetings, as appropriate.

Committee acknowledges the hard work and long hours the members of the Human Services Advisory Committee have given to the year long funding process, both in expanding their knowledge of the needs and gaps. in Renton services, in identifying new trends, and in application review and agency interviews. The City is currently developing.a plan to implement the Human Services Element in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This will address several of the issues raised this funding cycle such. as how to meet emerging. needs while continuing to fund current services. Until the plan is complete and funding guidelines for the 2007-2.008 funding. process have been developed, funding will not be'decreased to agencies currently receiving General Funds or. Community Development Block Grant public services funding, contingent upon agencies meeting contract requirements. It is recommended that funding be restored;to all agencies to their 2004 levels, with inclusion of one new program; Hearirg, Speech andDeafness Center; to be funded.

This leaves a balance of $10,000 in the General Fund allocation of $259,000. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Services funding recommendations will not be changed due to the required $10,000 minimum funding requirement. To compensate Communities in Schools of Renton for the reduction of $4,400 in CDBG Public Services for the Family Liaison Program, it is recommended Communities in Schools Mentor Program funding be increased by $4,400 in General Funds. The attached spreadsheet shows these recommendations. The remaining $6100 is to be allocated from the General Fund. Options for the remaining $6100: 1. Administration recommendation: That one of the two agencies identified as the highest priority of the Advisory Committee be funded — Hearing, Speech and Deafness Center. 2. Other options considered were: a. Fund one of the seven new programs recommended by the Advisory Committee: Catholic Community Services — Counseling, Catholic Community Services — Legal Action, Consejo — Domestic Violence Advocacy, Hearing Speech and Deafness Center, Institute for Family Development, Lutheran Community Services — Counseling, or Refugee Women's Alliance — Family Support Program. b. Fund a Renton -based service not receiving funds. The Salvation Army Food Bank, Senior Services Congregate Meals, or Lutheran Community Services —Counseling. This a summary of the concerns and issues mentioned at the Public Hearing on September 13, 2004, and a proposed plan as to how they will be addressed. Concerns and Issues mentioned at the Public Hearing: ■ Long-term providers in Renton received deep cuts in funding. The deep cuts hurt. Is there a way to mitigate the cuts? Can it be done gradually? ■ Different assumptions about funding need to be clarified — are we following the 1991 plan? Are there "core agencies"? Do we want a strong baseline of services in Renton? Do we fund more and more agencies as funding gets tight and dilute what we allocate even more? ■ The long-term providers are changing the way they do business to meet the emerging needs in Renton. They have strategic plans that are proactive and stress collaboration to reduce duplication of services. ■ One of the agencies has a diverse staff that speaks many languages. Is there a need to fund a new program if this agency is changing to meet the need? ■ Lack of clarity regarding the guiding principles to allocate funds. ■ Human Service providers want to be involved in the planning of policies and procedures relating to human services in Renton. ■ As long-term providers expand their capacity to serve Renton residents, they need a stable financial commitment now more than ever. ■ Long-term providers are seeing declining revenue at the federal and state levels. Costs continue to increase. Providers need all the revenue they can get at the local level. ■ Some services are confidential. How do we know how many Renton residents are using them? ■ If a program is a one -of- kind in King County, and there is a great need for it, should funding be cut? ■ For every dollar that an agency receives from Renton, it leverages $5. Does it make sense to cut it with this much leverage? ■ A provider has been providing services in Renton for the past twenty years and this was the first time they had been recommended for funding. ■ The funding cuts were not applied equally to those agencies who receive CDBG Public Services funds. Why not? What is the rationale for a 30% cut when the others were cut less than 3%? ■ The CDBG Contingency Plan should prioritize restoring funding first to those agencies that were cut the most. It should not be proportional. K ■ There is concern about the zero based budgeting approach without clear guidelines. ■ The clients that some of the agencies are seeing have multiple needs and it is more costly to provide services to this population. Proposed Plan 1. Appoint an ad hoc committee comprised of long-term providers in Renton, representatives from agencies that are beginning to provide or expand services in Renton or South King County, representatives from the Human Services Advisory Committee, City staff, a member of the City Council, representatives from the religious community, a representative from a foundation that distributes funds, and a representative from the South King County office of United Way. This committee will be charged with developing funding guidelines for the 2007/2008 funding process. To accomplish this, some steps may include: a. Having a third party or neutral person facilitate the process. Many of the parties on the ad hoc committee will have their own interests in mind, and it may be hard to keep the group focused on the bigger picture of what is best for Renton. Ideally, this person will have experience facilitating groups, will have some knowledge of human services, and also knowledge of non-profit agencies. b. Provide training so that everyone on the ad hoc committee will have the same base of knowledge regarding human services. This training may cover: what is currently happening in human services at the regional, South King County and local level, what are challenges facing non -profits today, how human services are funded, and what is considered the "cutting edge" human services. c. Identifying the different assumptions of the parties involved. 2. Incorporate the funding guidelines developed in #1 into an addendum to the South King County application for funding. 3. Implement a two-year funding cycle for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Services funds. CDBG funds are currently allocated annually. Recently, the King County Consortium has changed their rules so that Public Services funds can be allocated every two years. This will give agencies greater funding stability than year-to-year funding. 3 City of Renton 2005/2006 Funding Recommendations for the General Fund and 2005 CDBG Funding Recommendations General Fund Program Description 2004 funded amount 2005 requested amount 2005 recom.

Warren Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Assistant City Attorneys Mark Barber Zanetta L. Fontes Ann S. Nielsen MEMORANDUM Sasha P. Alessi Whitney A. Faulkner Date: August 13, 2004 To: Don Persson, Chairman Renton City Councilmembers Via: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Subject: Kelso Nuisance Abatement Ordinance At the Council meeting of August 2, 2004, the Council referred to the Administration a copy of a newspaper article on nuisance abatement in Kelso. Apparently, Kelso. now can prosecute people in its criminal court for nuisances on their property, with the worst offenders facing a $5,000 fine and one year in jail. The City of . Renton's nuisance abatement ordinance.- takes what I would term a "kinder and gentler" approach, seeking voluntary compliance after contact by the City. If voluntary compliance deadlines are not met, then civil infractions can be issued, with a graduated amount for penalties. If compliance is still not obtained, then the City may seek abatement through the civil nuisance laws in Superior Court. The monetary penalties are graduated and are $100 per day for the first three days of the violation, $200 per'day for -the next three.. days of the violation, $300 per day for the third three days of violation, and $500 per day thereafter. The use of civil infractions is part of a general City effort to. try to avoid use of criminal penalties whenever possible, to make the process simpler and easier. There is also a collateral benefit in avoiding jury trials and the appointment of public defenders. The City previously used a criminal approach to address nuisances and then shifted to the new system in an attempt to interact more positively with its general citizenry. Most residents will comply with a code violation notice, such as overgrown weeds in a_ lot, or other violations, when informed by the City. For those who won't comply, the monetary penalties are rather severe. If the Council would like to take a different approach, there are several options. The City could impose criminal penalties after a certain number of violations, or create a tiered system of nuisances that would result in certain types of nuisances being charged as criminal violations.

The (Longview) Daily News LON.GVIEW -When the next= door neighbor's.. grass. •:finally reached chest -high, .. Roberta Jackson, of Kelso; .gave..iri and fired up her lawnmower. Everysix .months for. the past five years; it's been.'the same routine, said Jackson, $2, who lives on a street. -lined withmod- est, neatly maintained homes. A few :times, Jackson. would call the clWs' . nuisance -abatement officer,,Don Harris Harris would talk to the neigh- bor, but 'his. visits:.didn't-.make much difference, Jackson said. That is, until June. Since Har- ris' last visit, the neighbor has begun clipping overgrown bushes, mowing and . hauling away clutter, Jackson said. "It's under control now," she said. Kelso recentlysharpened the teeth of its nuisance ordinance, and the city now can prosecute people in criminal court for nui- sances on their property, said CityAttorney Paul Brachvogel. The worst offenders face a $5,000 fine and a year in jail. When Harris contacted repeat offenders .in the past about an overgrown lawn (anything high- .er than 12 inches is considered a fire hazard), some of .. them would mow.only half the. yard, he. gaid.. Or if he tagged an unli- censed, inoperable car parked in the 'street. for weeks,. the person would. push it one foot, he a said. "They can't ,play games any- more," Harris said. Faced. with the threat of jail time or 'a fat fine, people have been .complying more quickly, he said, though the. city -has yet to prosecute anyone under the new ordinance. "This job — you're heroes to some and .villains to others," said Harris who has received death threats. "Sometimes people act on emotion rather than reality," he said matter of factly. "You don't take it personal. It's just a .nor- mal reaction of people." Harris diffuses potentially volatile situations by calmly ex- plaining the violations and em- phasizing that residents need to work together for a cleaner city, he said.
