ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND LEGAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT

obtained from King County records of completed mortgage transactions occurring within the city limits. Over

place to live, with 62% rating Renton as a "Very Good" or "Excellent" place to live.

Does hereby petition, and requests review and an order and relief in favor of
this petition and against the respondents each of them, pursuant to and under
the authority of the Growth Management Act and the State Environmental Policy
Act, and according to Laws of the State of Washington and according to its
Administration and Constitution, aggrieved by the respondents and the threat
they pose to the public interest and its environment, through their acts each
of them, and alleges the following:
I. INTRODUCTION
1.0 This petition is not related to an appeal of a project action. It is a
petition requesting that City of Renton development regulations, zoning map,
and ordinances comply with the GMA. This petition concerns itself with a
rezoning action designated LUA-02-141, CPA, R, EIS by the City of Renton
(city)
1.1 Ordinary Renton Citizens have no preference for a large scale shopping
center for City government to achieve a greater share of sales tax revenue,
along with service related employment, and they are not legitimate objectives
of the act: Boeing has made no decision to leave the site according to the
facts of record. Proponent wants to rezone for purpose of stockholder value.
The facts are that the objectives that the City and Proponent have identified
to adopt the following ordinances are not compliant with the specific
objectives of the GMA;
1.2 The need for this petition arises from the City of Renton adoption of
ordinances # 5026, # 5027, # 5028, #5029, #5030, #5031, #5032, #5033, #5034,
#5038, #5039, and resolution # 3669 dated November 24, 2003 by the Renton

City Council; all relating to a 280 acre parcel of land owned by Boeing.
The review committee findings, recommendations, and minutes and summary of
adoption are also non -compliant (attached herewith). The Boeing Company
proposes a redesignation of the City's land use map and a proposal for a
rezone and the necessary code changes and development regulations that would
be required of the area generally in the center area of Renton, along Cedar
river and Lake Washington and purportedly in order to accomplish the
objectives of the Boeing Company, and while an environmental impact statement
was performed exclusively for the purpose of considering the possible usage
of the property. Such facts raise the question:
Why must proponent rezone its present continuing operations that are
visualized to continue for the foreseeable future and when the proponent has
no preferred alternatives and when it is contrary to the City's comprehensive
plan, public morals, general welfare, and present circumstances?
There is abundant legal authority available that justifies invalidation of
this rezone.
1.3 The City and the proponent allege that they have been working for up to a
year to analyze the impacts from the four alternative scenario that had, at
a previous time, no preferred alternatives and were only for purpose of
consideration of the potential of the property relevant to this appeal. They
have now adopted a "hybrid" plan that includes approved options for a large-
scale retail shopping center and high intensity residential use. All of these
actions have been performed concurrent with public rallies for Boeing Jobs,
multi -billions of dollars in State legislation and tax value as incentives to
promote this type of industrial activity, publicity and signage in the City,

and general discontent and disappointment in the appearance of the
negative ethical and negative moral role of their industrial offset
agreements and their effects on ordinary citizens, while new programs and
possibilities hang in the balance, and while circumventing the City's
Comprehensive Plan economic development element. It is clear that the
proposal also attempts to circumvent mandatory provisions and exclusive
objectives of the GMA. The context of the implications have been discussed to
a great degree in inner circles, and without being fairly recorded, and
portend these actions transform the proponent from an "aircraft manufacturer"
to a "systems integrator" with "consolidated operations", and the City into a
"mixed use" "urban center" with a "hybrid" large scale retail shopping
center. Most all of which present a very bleak outlook for Renton and State
citizens, white and blue collar alike, that are educated and work and rely
upon their jobs in industry and manufacturing for their livelihoods. Renton
has always been considered a town of hard working Americans and still is. It
is undisputed fact that these theories and objectives of the proponent and
City politicians are conceived by their unilateral, individual benefits and
objectives, and their strategy to increase stockholder value and sales tax
revenue. And all destined to result in lower standards of living, and
decreased capacity for Washington and Renton citizenry. Renton politicians
have done nothing to serve the objectives and purposes of statutory
authority, while citizenry has expressed their convictions with a three point
two billion dollar tax incentive. Petitioner suggested that a compromise be
adopted, utilizing a legal, interdisciplinary process, sustaining all of the
alternatives but such suggestion has been ignored. In fact, they have

arbitrarily and capriciously ignored their own comprehensive plan throughout,
and advocated and helped develop the inconsistent and arbitrary plans, and
with development regulations that would not implement their comprehensive
plan in accordance with 36.70A.130(1)(a)(b) RCW, and while violating internal
consistency requirements of 36.70A.070 RCW.
That is clearly erroneous, a ground acceptable to invalidation pursuant to
242-02-634 WAC. (Copies of the City comprehensive plan economic development
element are attached herewith) It is a well known fact that Renton citizens
are mainly working class people, that want to be productive and working, need
industrially zoned land in the city for purpose of productive output and
social and environmental quality, while their values and convictions are
given to the industrial and manufacturing history of Renton inclusive of
their common goals in accordance with instruments of public policy outlined
herewith. Deference should be foregone because the actions would thwart
legitimate statutory objectives. Boeing property at issue here is zoned
Industrial Heavy.
1.4 Petitioner appeared, appealing for logic and reason to be discussed and
disclosed relating these issues, but the City and Proponent still proceed
with the process upon the unjustifiable goals of the proponent. Petitioner
cares about the City of Renton. Petitioner also made his request clear; to
make further amendments to the 2003 comprehensive plan and code and
development regulations amendments that at present and as submitted are not
in compliance with applicable laws. Staff, Planning Commission, Council, and
Proponent have still ignored petitioners just and legal requests.
1.5 Petitioner appealed to the City hearing examiner, according to City Code.

IIThe adequacy of the impact statement is now at issue before that office and
the impact statement and the processes involved in completing it are
unfinished at this time. An environmental impact statement and its review
process should be completed prior to the adoption of related regulations and
ordinances. The facts that are contained therein are necessary facts to
enable a review by this board, and without which, review by this board may
not proceed at this time.
1.6 Review and amendment and/or reversal is required of the purported code
and regulations and plans for the site zoning, storm water ordinance, impact
fee ordinances, public participation requirements, capital facilities
element, and transportation planning in order to achieve compliance with the
act. The following results:
II. JURISDICTION AND STANDING
2.1 This Board has jurisdiction because 36.70A.290 RCW commonly known as the
Growth Management Act authorizes petitioner to request review of
comprehensive plans and zoning and development regulations created and
ordained by the City of Renton local jurisdiction through Petition for Review
at this board.
2.2 Petitioner Brad Nicholson presented himself at the City of Renton public
hearing held on the matters that are the subject of this request punctually;
requested to become a party of record at same, participated orally and in
writing for same, and therefore properly has standing to request review
pursuant to 36.70A.280(2)(b) RCW.
Such participation in the proceedings that lead up to the purported adoption

of certain ordinances, plans, and regulations of the City of Renton, referred
to as the 2003 Comprehensive plan amendments and development regulations for
Renton and therefore he properly has standing to make this request.
2.3 In addition to such proper participation and standing, petitioner Brad
Nicholson participated by presenting letters and appeals prior to the
deadlines prescribed by the City and addressed according to their
specifications, (copies have been incorporated into the EIS final draft and
public record of the proceedings) appropriately raising issues of concern
that are properly before this board and in the prior proceedings leading up
to the unlawful ordinances that are at issue in this appeal. The responses
provided to such participation was not guided by the specific and exclusive
goals of the act but rather by the specific goals of the proponent, and City
goals that are outside of the act in disregard of and without harmony with
the laws that are applicable to their proposal. The issues here were properly
raised and were not addressed by the proponent, the City, or in the
proceedings. Again, petitioner Brad Nicholson has, by right and as a matter
of law, lawful standing to make this request.
2.4 36.70A.290(2) RCW requires requests of this nature to be made within a
period of sixty days from the time the disputed plans, codes, or development
regulations are adopted or enacted. This request is made within that
timeframe and therefore this petition has been filed in a timely manner and
therefore it is properly before this Board and is subject to review under the
rules of title 242 WAC, title 365 WAC, and other according to this board.
2.5 The ordinances and regulations and codes at issue in the above captioned
case concerns property that is located in the City of Renton, County of King,

Jall and both in the State of Washington, and therefore according to
Washington Law and 36.70A.250 RCW, this request is properly before the
Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board. This board should
review this appeal, pursuant to Washington administrative codes, along with
other relevant rules, laws, mandates, and judicial interpretations,
because it is a quasi-judicial administrative proceeding.
2.6 The regulations and issues here are the unlawful development regulations, J
planning, zoning and codes of the City of Renton and/or the absence of such
codes, planning, zoning, and development regulations herewith. The unlawful
planning concerning the rezoning of a Major Industrial Development and a very)
large area of the City of Renton bordering critical habitat and State high
quality water bodies are now at issue and the purported City Planning,
development regulations, and development agreements must now be reversed
according to this request and Washington Law and 36.70A.280(1)(a)RCW. The
City of Renton and State of Washington and its citizens and their morals and
their requirement for general welfare consistent with adopted comprehensive
plans, have values that are contrary to the City and Proponent planning, as
evidenced by recent legislation, resolutions, and social and economic
demands, and requirements for general safety, health and welfare, and public
morals, 36.70 RCW, and Washington Law effectively prohibits uncoordinated and
unplanned growth and according to 36.70A.010 RCW.
2.7 All subject matter areas articulated within this petition are properly
within this jurisdiction.

regulations, zoning, and is subject to the statutory requirements of State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), under State Growth Management Act and Growth
Management Act Impact Fee Statutes 82.02 RCW (GMA), and all other pertinent
and applicable requirements of the State of Washington that are relevant to
this petition. The City of Renton purported planning and regulations under
the requirements of the Growth Management Act 36.70A.040 RCW are inadequate
and will not fulfill the purposes and objectives of Washington Law and are
made in arbitrary disregard of Washington Law.
2.9 The GMA defines development regulation within its provisions, and the
ordinances brought to issue here are according to that definition.
2.10 WAC 242-02-910 governs petitions for declaratory ruling and this
petition is within and will be argued within the substantial form of a
request under Cr 56(c) that there are now no genuine issues of material fact
that is necessary for a disposition in this case that is in dispute
and therefore a ruling should be entered upon the record in favor of this
petition as a matter of law.
This petition is complete according to the rules properly promulgated by this
board.
2.11 According to 36.70A.030 RCW, the specific goals of the Growth Management
Act must be used exclusively when determining the validity of comprehensive
plans, zoning, and development regulations and theretofore declared by policy
or enacted by ordinance. Other goals exclusive to the others and proponent's
vision were unlawfully used in adopting the purported plans.

generations of Washington citizens"; and,
"Fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the
environment for succeeding generations"; 36.70.010 RCW was enacted while
stating, "all to the end of assuring the highest standards of environment for
living, and the operation of commerce, industry, agriculture and recreation,
and assuring maximum economies and conserving the highest degree of public
health, safety, morals and welfare" Washington statutes must be construed in
accordance with these purposes.
Planning and policy must proceed while effectuating the intent and purpose
while attaining the highest standards. The objectives of the act require that
we ensure that adequate facilities are available for use at the time
developments are ready for occupancy. That would not occur without amendment
of the City's capital facilities element and drainage code and impact fee
ordinances. Those requirements are non discretionary.
2.13 This Board has the authority to make binding declaratory rulings and the
power to invalidate the City ordinances and development regulations pursuant
to and according to Washington Law and 36.70A.280 RCW, and because of the
pertinent facts and laws that would be violated by the City of Renton, this
board will thence be required, as a matter of law and fact to do so and
complete justice by entering an order upon the public record in the favor of
the petitioner and his request.

lives upon property that is adversely affected by the City actions, and has
done so at all times relevant to this petition. His address is
2300 N.E. 28th Street, Renton, Washington 98056.
3.2 Because of such proper standing above, Brad Nicholson may appear and
practice before the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board in
accordance with 242-02-110 WAC and other relevant statutes.
3.3 Again, the City of Renton is a Washington municipal corporation as
defined by the Growth Management Act (GMA) and alleges and purports that they
are planning under the GMA and 36.70A.040 RCW. The City's actions must be
compliant with (GMA) and (SEPA).
3.4 Ordinances adopted by City must fulfill the objectives and purposes of
aforementioned statutes and all other relevant provisions of Washington Law
and while exercising their powers under the Washington State Constitution.
Renton actions to amend plans must be compliant with 82.02 RCW, 36.70 RCW,
39.04 RCW, 90.48 RCW, 58.17 RCW, 42.36 RCW, 36.70A RCW, and 43.21C RCW;
and the objectives and purposes of (GMA) and (SEPA) inclusive.
3.5 The respondents, the City of Renton, (City) are in King County. The City
Planning and development committee decided the issues that are relevant to
this appeal, made their recommendation contrary to law and while sitting in a
quasi-judicial capacity. The material facts were unspecified and
unaccompanied by determinative findings of fact and conclusions of law
fulfilling GMA objectives, and the City Council enacted legislation contrary
to the objectives and purposes and of clear and unambiguous sections, and
upon improper procedure and arbitrary and capricious and clearly erroneous
construction of Washington Law heretofore enumerated and same. The factual

findings entered upon the public record were generalized and in reality
unsubstantiated conclusions, and unsupported by the required substantial
evidence demonstrating compliance with the act; The City acted upon improper
procedure and without the required factual justification, without disclosure
of the true nature of the proposal, depriving the petitioner and citizenry of
the required opportunity to participate in the creation of just comprehensive
planning and development regulations and amendments throughout the processes.
3.6 The Proponent plans to divide and rezone the lands that are the subject
of this appeal without the actions being subject to further public scrutiny
and many of the controls that should be required by actions of this nature
under Washington law. The City has a history of unlawfully approving
subdivisions without observation of 58.17 RCW, and perpetrates the same
design or scheme here in this action. The development agreements that the
City and the proponent propose to enter into purport to violate the clear and
unambiguous language of 58.17 RCW subdivision regulations requiring public
participation and notice, and also, are unguided by the exclusive objectives
of the act.
3.7 Unlawful ordinances and regulations unfavorable to Washington law and
Renton and Washington citizenry have now then ensued.
3.8 The City of Renton actions are arbitrary or capricious and erroneous
according to Washington State Law. The actions taken by the Renton City
government were willful, arbitrary, clearly erroneous, and unlawfully taken
for the specific purpose of avoiding specific sections of Washington Law.

above captioned case were made within the jurisdiction of this board and are

for City is Mr. Larry Warren, address: 100 South 2nd, Renton Washington 98055.
3.10 The Proponent for the Comprehensive Plan amendments and development
regulation amendments is The Boeing Company. The Boeing Company failed to

proposal fulfills the proper prongs of legal, judicial, and statutory
authority and objectives. Counsel for proponent Mr. Galen G. Shuler appeared;
representing proponent. His address is 1201 Third Avenue, suite 4800, Seattle
Washington 98101.
3.11 The City of Renton Mayor and City Attorney, and Counsel for the
proponent have each properly been served this petition. The original and
three copies of this petition are presented to this board according to rules
promulgated by this board and defined by Washington Administrative Code
chapter 242.
Affidavits or certificates of service are attached, included, or can be

IV.STATUTORY GROUNDS FOR REVIEW
4.1 The City planning and regulations under chapter discussed herein are not
in compliance with the requirements of 82.02 RCW, 36.70 RCW, 36.70A RCW or
90.48 RCW, 42.36 RCW or amendments thereto, or chapter 39.04 RCW, and 43.21C
RCW, 58.17 RCW as it relates to plans, development regulations, or amendments
thereto, adopted under 36.70A.040 RCW thereto;

14.2 The City adoption of ordinances and resolution mentioned above are not inj
compliance with the Growth Management Act (GMA) and the State Environmental
Policy Act, (SEPA) either or both procedurally and substantively. Certain
(staff, proponents, and City Council took these actions unilaterally, and
without following the collaborative procedural and substantive processes
required by the GMA and SEPA. The purported development regulations and
amendments were adopted without furtherance of legitimate regulatory
objectives, and without being guided by its own comprehensive plan as is
required by the Growth Management Act. The Staff and Proponent delineated
that such designation was only under consideration, in reality it was
specifically for purpose of an unjustifiable rezone undermining objectives of
the act. The City's purported new Comprehensive Plan contains particular
internal inconsistencies relating to its previously adopted comprehensive
plan that circumvent or thwart such plan, and such inconsistencies are not
permitted under the specific directives of 36.70A.070 RCW.
Regional issues affecting transportation, water quality, industry and its
employment, social, economic, constitutional requirements, development
readiness at the time of occupancy, unambiguous requirements for fee or tax
impositions, and public participation in the subdivision process, among
others, would be willfully disregarded. Petitioner raised these issues in the
processes leading up to the resolutions and ordinances and development
agreements leading up to the issues herein. The Growth Management Act was
theretofore not properly observed. A new ordinance purports to operate
against the wholesome existing elements of the comprehensive plan and
development regulations of the City. The City ordinances regarding impact fee

mitigation impositions and zoning ignore the plain and unambiguous sections
and language of 82.02 and 36.70A RCW and now need to be amended to be
compliant with the Growth Management Act. Citizenry thought that there would
be a pedestrian friendly and attractive environment in the area proponent
intends to surplus, no such amendment to the City plans or codes followed,
and insufficient regulations protecting public interest have followed.
4.3 The purported amendments must include the Best Available Science
according to 36.70A.172 RCW for purpose of protecting the critical areas
adjacent to the site; namely Cedar River and Lake Washington that would be
adversely impacted or inadequately protected by redevelopment without use of
that best available science. The City's surface water ordinance and
development regulations should demonstrate that all practical means and
measures to protect water quality will be undertaken and according to
43.21C RCW.
90.48 RCW is of the same subject matter necessary to effectuate the
provisions without rendering any provision superfluous and states: "It is
declared to be the public policy of the state of Washington to maintain the
highest possible standards to insure the purity of all waters of the state
consistent with public health and public enjoyment thereof, the propagation
and protection of wild life, birds, game, fish and other aquatic life, and
the industrial development of the state, and to that end require the use of
all known available and reasonable methods by industries and others to
prevent and control the pollution of the waters of the state of Washington".
It also states, "Consistent with this policy, the state of Washington will
exercise its powers, as fully and as effectively as possible, to retain and

secure high quality for all waters of the State". This requirement has not
been observed, but rather, an unlawful and repugnant demonstration that the
proposal might result in fewer pollutants entering waters of the State of
Washington and United States is purported to be substituted for compliance.
(see exhibit) The proposal is unaccompanied by demonstration that the intent
and purpose of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. Chapter 26 section 1251)
articulating the requirement to eliminate pollution is observed. This board
should now require the City of Renton to observe the best available science
requirement, include the best available science in the administrative record,
and adopt a surface water ordinance that would in fact utilize all
practicable means and measures and all known methods to protect State waters
and environment pursuant to 43.21C RCW (SEPA) and objectives of the GMA. Such
practices are preferred and required by law and scientific principles. It is
now requested that the City articulate its rationale for departing from the
best available science recommendation contained in the environmental impact
statement relevant to this appeal. That is determinative substantive
information necessary for adjudication of the issues outlined herein.
4.4 City Code (in particular aspects present and future) purport to ignore
the plain and unambiguous language of the GMA impact fee statutes and the
requirements iterated within this petition and because an amendment is being
proposed as a part of these actions, the City of Renton is now required by
law to ordain and implement code or regulations in conformity with such
legislation and 36.70A.130(b). City actions and decisions were made in
disregard of relevant facts and circumstances. A forecast of future
transportation needs is a requisite of the act and other sections of law and

are not invalidated, they will substantially interfere with the fulfillment
of the objectives and purposes of the 36.70 RCW,(GMA) and 43.21C RCW,(SEPA).
A declaration of invalidity should now be declared under the authority of
36.70A.302 RCW.
4.6 Because petitioner Brad Nicholson has correctly outlined, detailed, and
articulated the substantive and procedural legal issues and according to
applicable law and the rules of this board, attaching them herewith and all
referred to in this petition along with its material according to Washington
Law and the rules of this board, he is now entitled to be heard and his
position must be affirmed by this board according to Washington Law in order
to produce the single, harmonious body of law outlined in administrative
rules pertaining to community, trade, and economic development.

4.10 A designated time and deadline for legal briefing and argument may
follow if the City or Proponent would elect to so proceed. This petition
should be reviewed and affirmed by this board.
4.11 At the conclusion of these proceedings, petitioner will be entitled to
relief and an order in his favor under and according to rules of this board
and under Washington law because there is now no material fact at issue in
this proceeding that is relevant to a disposition of it and therefore a
ruling in favor of this petition should follow as a matter of law.

V. AFFIRMATIVE CAUSES OF ACTION
5.1 Count 1;
GOVERNMENTAL BREACH OF PUBLIC TRUST:
City leadership, and Staff are entrusted to carry out the provisions of the
Citizen's comprehensive plan, and are entrusted to perform governmental
processes according to public policy requirements. The City government and
certain officials defied the comprehensive plan and betrayed citizenry, and
while the necessary trust in the process was unlawfully foregone, and will,
if not subjected to an order invalidating certain provisions, violate lawful
provisions and objectives of the act.
5.2 Count 2;
PROPONENT FAILS TO SATISFY BURDEN OF PROOF:
The proponent, The Boeing Company, by necessary implication has the burden of
demonstrating that the proposal fulfills public interest requirements. The
Company objectives are not relevant to these proceedings. Substantial
evidence and facts that prove the necessary prongs of public interest were
not articulated by the proponent. Actions at issue here constitute arbitrary
and capricious spot zone according to judicial interpretations.
5.3 Count 3;
Boeing Company seeks rezone for purpose of sale of the land without the
proposal being within the morals, health, safety, and general welfare of
Renton Citizenry and the exclusive goals of the act. Company representatives
did not demonstrate required material fact at the public hearings that were
held on the matters that are the subject of this appeal.

The process deceived the public by hiding the true essence of the proposal
until after public comment periods were passed. That proposal is a large
scale retail shopping center. Transportation capacity of existing roads and
concurrency modeling provided were not for the true proposal and skewed in
favor of the proponent. Transportation nightmare that would ensue would be
unmitigated and there has been no forecast for improvements that should be
made as a result of the direct and cumulative impacts of the proposal through
a mandatory capital facilities element. Salmon and clean water and best
available science were not incorporated into the purported City amendments.
City fee ordinances lack observance of nexus and proportionality limits of
United States Constitution. City hearing examiner and Planning commissioner
worried for the record that they would be fired if they found facts in favor
of the petitioner. Exparte communications occurred every day without public
involvement and recordation.
5.4 Count 4;
REZONE BARRED BY COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL DOCTRINE:
There is a quality of subject matter and parties relevant to this petition
that has been adjudicated in prior quasi-judicial administrative proceedings.
There is an evidentiary burden upon the proponent to prove that the
circumstances surrounding the public's interest and reliance upon its current
comprehensive planning have substantially changed since the last time the
property was zoned. Proponent has failed to counter this evidentiary test
with evidentiary material.

INCONSISTENT PLANNING AND LACK OF COMMON PURPOSE OPERATES AGAINST SPECIFIC
(STATUTORY PROVISIONS:
SEPA articulates responsibility to "fulfill the social, economic, and other
requirements of present and future generations of Washington citizens", but
the ordinances do not carry out those provisions. Objective 5 of the act,
among others, would be circumvented by the City determinations and enactments
relating to this appeal. Purported ordinances thwart legitimate public
purposes. Proponent and respondent litigated to exclude the necessary social,
economic, and lawful statutes and judicial interpretations.
5.6 Count 6;
NONCONFORMITY WITH THE PLAIN AND UNAMBIGUOUS GMA REQUIREMENTS INTERFERES WITH
THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT:
City of Renton government knows from prior appeals and experience and State
legislative enactments that the impact mitigation codes do not comply with
unambiguous sections of law. Petitioner pleas to observe growth management
objectives and nexus and proportionality requirements have been deliberately
omitted by City government and proponent. Adopted City resolution regarding
impact fee ordinances disregards its own language requiring readoption under
the growth management act. City and Proponent refused to address justifiable
petitioner concerns, and non -discretionary, mandatory compliance with the
GMA.
5.7 Count 7;

trout, and Bull trout (among others) are listed as endangered or threatened

protected using all practicable means and measures according to legal
provisions. The Best Management Practices are necessary to protect their
habitat according to the GMA. City amendments unlawfully departed from the
science based recommendations made within their impact statement.
VI. ASSIGNMENT OF ERRORS
6.1 Petitioner assigns error to all council findings and recommendations and
conclusions, and adopted ordinances not specifically articulated as just and
lawful within this petition. Error is assigned to Council findings 1, 2, and
3 relevant to this petition.
VII. RESPONSE AND TRANSMITTAL OF RECORD
7.1 Petitioner requests that within thirty days of possession of this
petition for review, the respondent shall file with the board and serve a
copy on the petitioner a response to this petition and an index of and all
material used in taking the actions that are the subject of this petition for
review and according to the provisions of the Rules properly promulgated by
this Board. The response and index should also contain sufficient identifying

the administrative procedures required by this board under 242-02 WAC and
properly presented to this board for review. Petitioner requests that
respondent provide a copy of the purported new zoning map.
7.2 The proceedings relevant to this appeal are incomplete at this time.
Transmittal of additional material created before the City in these
proceedings.
VIII. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
Unjustifiable and Arbitrary and Unlawful Rezone
8.1 Boeing wants the property rezoned and the property is currently
designated on the City zoning map as IH or heavy industrial and is delineated
on the various exhibits of the environmental impact statement and the record
created in the proceedings. City and Proponent failed to demonstrate that the
project is guided by legitimate economic objectives of the GMA.
The City's adopted comprehensive plan would need to be ignored or reversed
in order to accommodate the proposal alternatives and the subsequent rezone
and regulations that are requested. The City current, wholesome, and adopted
comprehensive plan outline in the Economic Development Element of the plan
its objective, (objective ED-C) is to,
"Sustain and expand the current industrial and manufacturing (heavy and
light) employment base" and along with direction to develop various
"strategies" to achieve those goals. Their proposal indicates only that such
a legitimate City of Renton objective (especially considering its historical
manufacturing and industrial production) would by necessity need to be
overlooked and because the zoning for the subject site is proposed to be
overlain by an "Urban Center" designation.

The undisputed goals and loyalty of the proponent belongs exclusively to
shareholder value, its own vision, and its own objectives according to the
lundisputed facts of record. That is outside the comprehension of the
objectives and purposes of the act. City used increased tax revenue and tax
base goals to guide their decision, ignoring capacity losses, outside of the
act. That too is outside the comprehension of the act.
8.2 36.70A.020 RCW requires and outlines the goals that are to be used
exclusively to guide the development and adoption of comprehensive plans. The
purported comprehensive plan and zoning amendment ignores it.
The City Staff has not performed the actions required by sections of
Washington law. It is inconsistent with its own comprehensive plan and
current zoning designations surrounding the area. The Boeing Company is
guided by profit and its own interests, and has ignored and is not guided by
GMA objectives. It agreed with that accusation through its silence and its
inability to proffer evidence within the acceptable prongs of jurisprudence.
This proposal and purported zoning has been created outside of the objectives
of the GMA.
8.3 36.70A.070 RCW requires as mandatory that the City comprehensive plan
"shall be an internally consistent document and all elements shall be
consistent with the future land use map" There is no way that such internal
consistency can be achieved unless the proposal and purported adoption of it
includes an abrupt and severe change of direction in the City Comprehensive
Plans including provisions that presently, even as we review, provides land
area designations intended to fulfill social, economic, and other
requirements of citizenry according to the act.

8.4 There are close to 13,000 employees presently employed in manufacturing
and industrial jobs on or around the subject site. Historically, it could
accommodate many more. That site has produced more commercial aircraft than
any other site in the world. Renton workers are very productive and continue
to be. The capacity for many more jobs would be lost if these purported
amendments are permitted to stand.
8.5 The property in question should be regulated to sustain and expand the
City's industrial and manufacturing employment base. It is clear that the
City is guided not by The Growth Management Act or its own comprehensive
plan, but by other unauthorized objectives. The proposal is made, according
to the EIS documents and city documents, in order to benefit the proponent
stockholder value and their objectives, and to increase City portion of sales
tax revenue. They refuse to discuss economic impacts upon ordinary citizens.
8.6 In virtually all of the documents, and throughout the environmental
impact statement, the company reiterates; there are no preferred or specific
proposals for development, the Company does not intend to discontinue its
present operations, and that the proposal represents a potential for a broad
range of uses. It has only been suspect that the proposal is specifically for
purpose of a quickly profitable rezone. There is no need to rezone the
subject property at this time if there are no plans in place to change its
use. There is presently a successful and productive commercial airplane
factory in operation at the site. Profits gained from operation of the site
enabled proponent to diversify its company into a "global enterprise" while
purchasing other manufacturers such as McDonnell Douglas, Hughes, Rockwell,
and others. High production rates and profitability are still being reported

even in the midst of the biggest downturn in aviation history. The 737
aircraft is the best selling aircraft in commercial aviation history and even
as this petition is read, it continues at a very high volume rate.
Possibilities for gaining more high value business exist for its future. To
reiterate, proponent has no plans to change its use for the foreseeable
future. Petitioner briefed the need for discussion and compliance with laws
and rules in a 61 page brief, but to no avail, because the proposal still
proceeds while being unjustified by substantial evidence.
8.7 It is important to note that 36.70A.030 RCW (7) precisely
defines the term "development regulations", and as follows: "Development
regulations" or "regulation" means the controls placed on development or land
use activities by a county or city, including, but not limited to, zoning
ordinances, critical areas ordinances, shoreline master programs, official
controls, planned unit development ordinances, subdivision ordinances, and
binding site plan ordinances together with any amendments thereto".
8.8 Therefore, a proposal for a rezone is a proposal for a development
regulation and such a proposal is defined as a development regulation by
Washington Law. Impact fee and surface water ordinances and regulations also
are within this definition.
8.9 36.70A.280 RCW delineates the matters that are the subject of board
review; 36.70A.280(1) reads: A growth management hearings board shall hear
and determine those petitions alleging either:
(b) is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter;

adoption of zoning ordinances according to Washington law request for this

board to take notice of the proponent's burden of proof is now properly and
officially requested pursuant to WAC 242-02.
8.11 The Proponent and the City worked together to circumvent the primary
prongs of established and well recognized zoning rule: That such a rezone
must demonstrate that circumstances have substantially changed and that the
rezone is made for purpose of the health, safety, general welfare and morals
of the Citizens of the City and State. In any case, the purported enactments
of Renton do not satisfy such a requirement.
8.12 36.70A.040 RCW summarizes the requirements of, and who must plan under
the growth management act. The City of Renton falls under this section and
therefore a rezoning ordinance is proper subject matter for review by this
board.
8.13 Zoning and Comprehensive planning and development regulations, like the
public morals and general welfare, have lines (laws) delineating their
limits, and the overlay and proposals and these unjust regulations cannot be
harmonized with such legitimate ethical and moral, legal, statutory,
judicial, and Constitutional limits.
8.14 Because the quasi-judicial administrative record that has been created
is without and lacking any specific facts demonstrating how the public
economic interest justify a rezone, a remand for reversal and invalidation of
the purported City ordinances is warranted. City and proponent together
litigated and argued that social, economic, and other requirements of
citizens need not be discussed in this process. Therefore no evidence exists
indicating substantial evidence supporting justification for the rezone
exists. Under this additional circumstance, the rezone should be declared to

be invalid. This should be automatic and is the fundamental rule of zoning.
There has been no change of use of the proponent property in district 2, no
change is envisioned, and therefore a rezone in that area is especially
Iunlawful.
8.15 As a matter of fact, substantial evidence indicating that the purported
ordinances were enacted while the quantum of existing evidence necessary for
persuasion only tends to prove that the analysis is deceptive. Over a year
thereafter expressed further inconsistent facts by resolution. Washington
State Legislature offered the proponent multi -Billions of dollars in State
tax value as an incentive to continue to do industrial business of the type
at issue here over a period of years. ((Renton staff and officials have been
encouraging proponent to rezone,) (the largest and most prestigious aerospace
company in the world)). That State legislation was enacted as law and
expresses the morals and ethical principles of Washington Citizens, and they
have expressed it with lots of money. It is not the duty of the respondent
Brad Nicholson to bear the burden of making such a demonstration.
8.16 Again, a demonstration of current state of the heart, mind, inner
conviction, economic and social values and perception of justice and prudence
and facts of social, economic, and other requirements of present and future
generations of Renton citizenry is required and has not been proven by the
proponent. That is grounds for invalidation of the zoning ordinances here at
issue.
Unlawful and Unconstitutional Impact fee ordinances do not comply with the
unambiguous language of the Growth Management Act.

the City of Renton are purported to be under SEPA from Ordinance 3100 adopted
by the City in 1994 (copies attached). The State Statutes that these
ordinances do not comply with were adopted shortly thereafter.
8.18 The City has failed to follow the provisions of its own ordinance, which
required under Section IV. Precisely stating: "The traffic impact mitigation
fee will be readopted as a fee under the Growth Management Act and reviewed
ueriodically thereafter."
8.19 The City has adopted its GMA comprehensive plan amendments and
implementing measures that have failed to provide compliance for the
transportation and fire impact mitigation fees as growth management fees.
Neither has the City periodically reviewed the fees thereafter. Eight years
after adoption of Ordinance 3100 and over ten years after resolution 2913,
the City has failed to meet the provisions of its own ordinances. Further,
this ordinance requires under Section III that:
"This fee applies to all new development that is subject to SEPA review."
8.20 The fire mitigation fee currently employed by the City requires an
automatic universal contribution and without the required language and
provisions of 82.02 RCW.
8.21 Under 82.02.050(4) RCW, City of Renton is subject to both the
requirements of 36.70A.070 and its comprehensive planning under 36.70 RCW,
and the pertinent requirements of 82.02.050 RCW thru 82.02.090 RCW inclusive.
8.22 Under the above requirements and in order to observe the clear and
unambiguous intent of the legislation, the City comprehensive plan must
respect the provisions of 82.02.020 RCW that states: Except as provided in
RCW 82.02.050 through 82.02.090, "No county, city, town, or other municipal

corporation shall impose any tax, fee, or charge, either direct or indirect,
on the construction or reconstruction of residential buildings, commercial
buildings, industrial buildings, or on any other building or building space
or appurtenance thereto, or on the development, subdivision, classification,
or reclassification of land".
8.23 There are other related mandates including and outlined in the statutes
RCW 82.02.050(1)RCW that states: It is the intent of the legislature:
(a) To ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve new growth and
development;
(b) To promote orderly growth and development by establishing standards by
which counties, cities, and towns may require, by ordinance, that new growth
and development pay a proportionate share of the cost of new facilities
needed to serve new growth and development;
8.24 All of the impact fee requirements and plans and regulations should
observe our Constitutional nexus and proportionality requirements. While
Planning under 36.70A.040, the City of Renton must create impact fee
ordinances compliant with 82.02 RCW and GMA, and such fees are a requirement
of the GMA. There must be no fee, when there is no special benefit conferred
that is not required of the public at large, and when the fee is not imposed
in furtherance of legitimate governmental objectives that are the same as
those that would be advanced as justifications for prohibiting the use. To be
sure, only a voluntary agreement that is reasonable imposed to mitigate the
direct impact from the project is permitted, and that requires an
articulation of the identity of the specific improvement that must be made as
a result of the direct impact of the development.

18.25 Again, because the City purports to amend its comprehensive plan and
development regulations, it must now become compliant with 36.70 RCW and
82.02 RCW by adopting impact fee ordinances compliant with Washington Law. An
amendment to its capital facilities element is mandatory under the specific
(sections of the act. That action has not been performed.
Surface water ordinance is outdated and City ignores best available science
requirement and causing harm to species listed as endangered
8.25 36.70A.172 requires the Best Available Science to be used when
protecting critical areas. The rezone and regulations that are proposed
border areas critical to salmon and citizens. Habitat for spawning and
rearing for valuable Native Steelhead Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon,
Sockeye Salmon, Dolly Varden, Bull Trout, Lake Washington Cutthroat, and
Rainbow and Cutthroat trout (Lake Washington/Sammamish Kokanee need not be
mentioned because they are already extinct) are distinct and listed as
"threatened" or "endangered" by the ESA, (Endangered Species Act) and are
located in or around the subject site.
8.26 Petitioner requested code and comprehensive plan amendments in order to
observe the best available science. The impact statement performed
recommended that the Ecology manual be adopted. In the context of this
request, this should mean that the best available scientific engineering
available regarding storm water entering lake Washington and Cedar River must
be used to inform the related comprehensive planning and public policy
decisions and regulations and be contained in the record. City did not make
an official finding of fact or conclusion of law regarding the best available
science. Petitioner offered scientific information on the subject but it was

not properly considered. As a matter of fact, one of the Commissioners
mingled in the audience area and stated exactly "that would cost too much".
That finding was clearly erroneous. For one, even if it was analyzed in terms
of initial costs, it is untrue. The benefits of science far outweigh any
negatives when viewed from the perspective of the entire record as submitted
and the property might be used for scientific research and manufacturing.
8.27 The City of Renton current code is as follows:
4-6-030 DRAINAGE (SURFACE WATER) STANDARDS The drainage plan shall be
prepared in conformance with the Core and Special Requirements contained in
sections 1.2 and 1.3 of chapter 1, the hydrologic analysis methods contained
in chapter 3, the hydraulic analysis and design criteria in chapter 4, and
the erosion/sedimentation control plan and practices contained in chapter 5
of the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual, except where amended or
appended by the Department.
8.28 Again, because 36.70A.130(1)(b) RCW states: "Any amendment of or
revision to a comprehensive land use plan shall conform to this chapter".
"Any amendment of or revision to development regulations shall be consistent
with and implement the comprehensive plan"; The City of Renton Code must use
the best available science to protect this critical area. The above code
except is one example of sections that are in need of revision, or in the
alternate, articulation of the reasonable basis for departure from such a
recommendation contained within the record.
8.29 No evidence was offered to indicate that the proposal purports to reduce
pollution discharges to the maximum extent practicable.

toxic substances are generated through asphalt paving, vehicles and will
cause environmental and aquatic degradation to habitat necessary for the
survival of valuable species.
8.31 Without sound scientific regulatory controls, a broad understanding of
scientific information, performing rigorous empirical observations, and
leading to sound interpretations and regulations, the ESA best available
science requirement articulated in the relevant Growth Management Act would
not occur. There is no legitimate reason why the Ecology Manual should not be
adopted in order to reduce pollution discharges to the maximum extent
practicable and while protecting the very valuable and vulnerable species
that will likely be harmed to a great degree by the proposal. That is what
was recommended with the impact statement performed for their proposal. The
best engineering and science to protect them is necessary. Any departure from
those requirements must be justified with substantive evidence and rational,
sound, engineering and scientific fact. That justification is not present in
the administrative record leading up to this appeal.
IX. STATEMENT OF ISSUES
ILEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 1:
Can the City Rezone the Subject property and while the only justification
that has been provided indicates that it would benefit only the proponent and
sales tax revenue, while its own comprehensive plan provisions indicate a
requirement to sustain and expand the current industrial and manufacturing
employment base?

Is it not Arbitrary and Capricious and Clearly erroneous to proceed with a
rezone in this case and when the proponent has utterly failed to prove that
the condition of the public morals has changed at all since the last time the
property was zoned and argues to exclude substantive evidence and when in
fact there is no rational public interest justification for the general
economic welfare therefore constituting defiance of the Growth Management
Act?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 3:
Can the City or the proponent show that industry and manufacturing are no
longer desirable to Renton and Washington citizens and amend its zoning map
and when approximately 13,000 people are presently employed at Boeing,
and when the state has now offered the Company over three billion dollars and
more in state tax value as an incentive to continue to do business in this
state?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 4:
Can a rezone and map amendment that would allow a large shopping center and
condominiums proceed to replace industry and manufacturing and when the
proponent has expressed no plans to terminate their present operations, be
allowed under the Growth Management Act and the city comprehensive plan?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 5:
Can the subject property be rezoned and when there has been no specific
articulation as to the condition and details as to how the proposal furthers
a maximum economy pursuant to the public safety, health, morals and general
welfare or the objectives for economic development?

and that the application was made only for the purpose of consideration and
when there has been no expression of the need to perform the planning in
accordance with the Growth Management Act and its objectives?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 7:
Can the City amend and proceed with a code and development regulations change
and when their own code requires impact fee statutes to be readopted as
Growth Management fees and when the existing code ignores the plain and
unambiguous language of RCW 82.02 and 36.70A.070 RCW?

of a converting industrial manufacturing to large retail shopping center and
condominiums while alleging that there would be less pollution generated from
vehicles and asphalt using the 1990 King County Manual in lieu of maximum
extent practicable and best available science regulations and while conveying
storm water into Lake Washington and when there are so many sensitive and
endangered species immediately adjacent to the subject site and when they
have not expressed the rationale for their departure from the science based
recommendation contained within the record created before them?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 9:
Can the City proceed without using Best Management Practices contained in the
Ecology manual and when there are no factual findings contained in the
official record indicating that the City intends to protect habitat for

litigate to exclude evidence of social and economic and other consequences
and then still not be subject to an order of invalidation and when it has
therefore not demonstrated compliance with objective number 5 and other
objectives of the act?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 11:
Are the Zoning ordinances listed above consistent with and do they implement
the City economic development element objective as is required by the act
without requiring that the City sustain and expand the current manufacturing
and industrial employment base and if not should they be invalidated because
they do not implement such comprehensive plan provisions?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 12:
Is the City comprehensive plan an internally consistent document as is
required by the act if the map amendments are included into the plans and
development regulations?
LEGAL ISSUE NUMBER 13:
Are these ordinances, zoning, development regulations, new zoning map, and
identified issues articulated herein compliant and guided by the exclusive
goals and objectives of the Growth Management Act and SEPA, with
particularity the environmental objective 10, economic objective 5, and the
public participation objective and without inclusion of legal justification

OLD BUSINESS Council President Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding the application
Committee of the Whole (2003-M-Ii) for The Boeing Company Renton plant site land UtiC Illap
Planning: Boeing Renton Site amendment: land use element text altiendment: concurrent rezoning and
EIS development standards, including parking standards, site development plan
review, design guidelines; and two new zone designations - the Urban Center -
North l and Urban Center -North 2, and the application (2003-M-05) for the
Fr_v's Electronics 2003 Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone.
The Committee Illet lllollthly thl'oughout 2003 and weekly during October and
November to review these Comprehensive Plan amendments and associated
rezones, and zoning text amendments. The Committee recommended approval of
the applications subject to the following findings as documented in the staff
reported dated November 17, 2003, for the Boeing application, and October 31,
2003, for the Fry's application.
Findings:
1. The proposed amendments meet Section 4-9-020G, Review Criteria, in
Renton Municipal Code Title IV (Development Regulations). The proposals
support criteria I relating to the vision in the adopted Comprehensive Plan by
providing further policy direction to implement the City's Urban Center. The
i\o\ ember 24. 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 427
proposal also meets adopted Business Plan Goal I "To promote citywide
economic development," by providing additional employment capacity to
diversilw the employment base. The proposal also provides a policy basis to
transition industrial properties to their highest and best use, and facilitates
quality development otwaterfront land.
2. The property is potentially classitied for the proposed zone being requested
pursuant to the policies set for the Comprehensive Plan, and the subject
reclassitication was not specifically considered at the time ofthe last area
land use analysis and area zoning. As a result ol'i-c-1 nal changes In the
manutacturin-1 sector and decisions made by Boeing to consolidate
operations on a portion ottheir plan site (District 2 within the new land use
designation). land areas tormerly used for parking and operations to support
manufacturing ofairplanes are no longer used for this purpose. This
changed circumstance has created the opportunity for the City to review land
use in the North Renton area, including properties owned by Boeing and
other privately owned parcels in the immediate vicinity to determine the
policy direction for IiIture use and development in ways that were not
previously analyzed.
Recommendations:
Adoption ota Comprehensive Plan land use map amendment redesignating
the 310-acre study area to Urban Center -North. This action includes Boeing
North Renton plant, Puget Sound Energy property, FrI Electronics
property, and several small private businesses along Park Ave. N., including
the Wendall. Wiemeyer, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad
properties.
2. Adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan designation, as recommended by the
Planning Commission in the draft dated November 13, 2003. The text
amendment sets forth vision, objectives and policies for the Urban Center -
North, and each of its districts. The existing Center Downtown designation
is redesignated Urban Center - Downtown. Amendments also update and
clarify general Centers policies to be consistent with the new designations,
and repeal the Employment Center - Transition policies.
3. Amend the official zoning map of the City to change the classification of
property in the Urban Center -North. Property in the area bordered by the
Cedar River to Logan Ave. N., and Lake Washington will be in the Urban
Center -North 2 (UC-N 2) zone. Property in the area bordered by the Cedar
River on the south, Garden Ave. N., N. 5th St., and N. 6th St. will be in the
Urban Center -North I (UC-N 1) zone.
4. Adopt zoning text amendments to create two new zone districts, including
use tables and notes, and development standards tables and notes.
5. Adopt parking code amendments to address parking needs in the UC-N I and
UC-N 2 zones, and amend standards for shared parking and off -site parking
requirements.
6. Amend existing site plan regulations to detine applicability for development
in the UC-N 1 and UC-N 2 zones, establish the name of the process as "Site
Development Plan," and change references fi-om Site Plan Level f and Site
Plan Level 11 to Master Plan and Site Plan throughout Renton Municipal
Code Title IV.
November 24, 20W Renton City Council IVlinutes Page 428
7. Make amendments to definitions in Renton Municipal Code Title iV.
ti. Amend existin"I urban center design overlay standards and Guidelines to
establish a new District C, encompassing the Urban Center -North. Provide
juidance to accomplish quality urban scale development, define pedestrian
streets, and achieve uateway entry textures into the redevelopment area.*

SUBJECT: Water and Sewer Telemetry System Upgrade and Programming
ISSUE:
The Water Utility requests approval of a consultant agreement with RH2 Engineering in the amount of
$25,100 to program the water and sewer telemetry system.
The Water Utility also requests an adjustment of $50,000 within the Water Utility's 2004
appropriation for the 421 Capital Improvement Projects budget in order to fund the above consultant
contract of $25,100 and to purchase the hardware and software to complete the upgrade of the water
telemetry system estimated at $24,900. This adjustment will not increase the Water Utility's 2004
total appropriation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a consultant contract with RH2 Engineering in the amount of $25,100 to program
the water and sewer telemetry system.
Approval of the transfer of $50,000 to the Water Telemetry System Upgrade budget account
no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55120 from the following line item budgets:
$20,000 from Well 9 Rehabilitation account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55567 and
$30,000 from Water Pump Station Rehab. account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55530.
BACKGROUND:
The Water Maintenance department is completing the conversion of the SCADA / telemetry system
from Uniface based equipment to Bristol -Babcock based equipment because Uniface is no longer in
business and parts are no longer available to support the system.
January 23, 2004
Page 2
The Water Utility needs to purchase three computers and specialized software for the upgraded
telemetry system. In addition, we will need the consultant, RH2 Engineering, to program the system,
to provide training to City staff, and to prepare the operation and maintenance manual. The estimated
cost for the purchase of the hardware and software is $24,900 and for the consultant's cost to program
the system is $25,100.
The Water Utility did not budget sufficient funds in 2004 for the telemetry system upgrade project
budget for the purchase of the computers, software and programming work by the consultant. We
request Council's approval to transfer $50,000 from the following accounts to the Water Telemetry
System Upgrade budget account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55120:
$20,000 from Well 9 Rehabilitation account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55567 and
$30,000 from Water Pump Station Rehab. account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.65.55530
There are sufficient remaining funds in the above two accounts after the requested transfer to
complete the work on Well 9 and also the work on the rehabilitation of the North Talbot pump station.
Therefore, the transfer of funds will not impact these projects.
CONCLUSION:
A reliable SCADA system is essential for the operation of the City's drinking water system. The
purchase of the hardware, software and programming is necessary to complete the conversion of our
telemetry system.

written notice to the Consultant, subject to the City's obligation to pay Consultant in accordance with
subparagraphs C and D below.
B. In the event of the death of a member, partner or officer of the Consultant, or any of its supervisory
personnel assigned to the project, the surviving members of the Consultant hereby agree to complete the
work under the terms of this Agreement, if requested to do so by the City. This section shall not be a bar
to renegotiations of this Agreement between surviving members of the Consultant and the City, if the

ORIGINAL -a, PAGE NOrl OF Irl PAGES
C. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City other than for fault on the part of the Consultant, a
final payment shall be made to the Consultant for actual cost for the work complete at the time of
termination of the Agreement, plus the following described portion of the net fee. The portion of the net
fee for which the Consultant shall be paid shall be the same ratio to the total net fee as the work complete
is to the total work required by the Agreement. In addition, the Consultant shall be paid on the same
basis as above for any authorized extra work completed. No payment shall be made for any work
completed after ten (10) days following receipt by the Consultant of the Notice to Terminate. If the
accumulated payment made to the Consultant prior to Notice of Termination exceeds the total amount
that would be due as set forth herein above, then no final payment shall be due and the Consultant shall
immediately reimburse the City for any excess paid.
D. In the event the services of the Consultant are terminated by the City for fault on the part of the
Consultant, the above stated formula for payment shall not apply. In such an event the amount to be paid
shall be determined by the City with consideration given to the actual costs incurred by the Consultant in
performing the work to the date of termination, the amount of work originally required which was
satisfactorily completed to date of termination, whether that work is in a form or of a type which is
usable to the City at the time of termination, the cost to the City of employing another firm to complete
the work required and the time which may be required to do so, and other factors which affect the value
to the City of the work performed at the time of termination. Under no circumstances shall payment
made under this subsection exceed the amount which would have been made if the formula set forth in
subsection C above had been applied.
E. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to completion of the work, the original copies of all
Engineering plans, reports and documents prepared by the Consultant prior to termination shall become
the property of the City for its use without restriction. Such unrestricted use not occurring as a part of
this project, shall be without liability or legal exposure to the Consultant.
F. Payment for any part of the work by the City shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any remedies of
any type it may have against the Consultant for any breach of this Agreement by the Consultant, or for
failure of the Consultant to perform work required of it by the City. Forbearance of any rights under the
Agreement will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights with respect to any future act
or omission by the Consultant.
XII

Any dispute concerning questions of facts in connection with work not disposed of by agreement between the
Consultant and the City shall be referred for determination to the Director of Planning/ Building/Public Works or
his/her successors and delegees, whose decision in the matter shall be final and conclusive on the parties to this
