CITY STAFF IN KATHY KEOLKER-WHEELER, Mayor; JAY COVINGTON, Chief ATTENDANCE Administrative Officer; LAWRENCE J.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that as part of the 2005 legislative session wrap - Legislature: 2005 State up report, three legislators will be making presentations. Alex Pietsch, Legislative Session Wrap -Up Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning (EDNSP) Administrator, explained that the EDNSP Department is responsible for coordinating the legislative affairs of the City, and works in conjunction with the other departments and a paid lobbyist, Doug Levy. Pointing out that the 2005 legislative session was one of the most successful sessions the City has experienced, Mr. Pietsch stated that the City worked proactively with the nine legislators that represent Renton. Mr. Pietsch highlighted the legislative actions that have an effect on Renton as follows: • Received $5 million in Capital Budget to help with the redevelopment of former Boeing property in the South Lake Washington neighborhood. • The Freight Mobility Budget includes $4 million for the SW 27th St. and Strander Blvd. project. • Over $2 million was granted for the SR-169 Corridor improvements. • Through the passage of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax, more than $300 million of improvements will directly benefit Renton by expanding the capacity of I-405. • Legislation was not enacted regarding sales tax streamlining. • A jobs development fund was enacted that set aside $50 million biennium for public infrastructure necessary to create jobs. • Tobacco settlement dollars were set aside for investment in life sciences and support of life sciences research. Representative Fred Jarrett, 41st District, emphasized how well the legislators worked together on the interests of Renton. He agreed that the legislative session was successful for Renton, but stated that more can be done. Mr. Jarrett noted the benefits of the 9.5-cent per gallon gas tax; however, he indicated that if a Regional Transportation Investment District package is not May 23, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 190 passed next year, all of the money is available for reappropriation. He asked for the City's assistance and support in pushing forward with the regional transportation package. Representative Judy Clibborn, 41st District, pointed out how important the Capital Budget and the Transportation Budget are to this area's economic development. She indicated that despite the issues surrounding the Governor's race, the legislators worked hard during the session. Ms. Clibborn also indicated that legislators worked across party lines for a balanced session, and there were many accomplishments. Additionally, she highlighted a bill that she sponsored this session, which allows employers to give references for employees with increased protection for the employers' liability. Representative Bob Hasegawa, I Ith District, reported that despite the State's budget problems, a budget was crafted that did not cut services to citizens as much as was expected. He noted that 40,000 additional children will be provided healthcare, and that financial aid will be available to part-time students. Mr. Hasegawa stated that he is proud of the work that was accomplished. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler thanked the legislators for the work they performed on Renton's behalf. With the assistance of Council President Briere, she presented them with certificates of appreciation. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City's investment in Doug Levy paid off tremendously, and the Mayor also expressed her appreciation for Mr. Levy's efforts. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Lindberg, 138th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE & SE 132nd St public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent petition and future zoning for the proposed Lindberg Annexation, which consists of 10.11 acres, including the abutting street right-of-way, located east of 138th Ave. SE (Duvall Ave. NE) and north of SE 132nd St. (NE 2nd St.). Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that the area proposed for annexation contains nine single-family dwellings, is relatively flat with a two percent slope from west to east, and is constrained by potential wetlands affecting two northern parcels. The area is served by Fire District #25, Renton water, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton School District. He noted that current King County zoning for the area is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre), and Renton's Comprehensive Plan designation is Residential Single Family. Therefore, proposed Renton zoning is R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre). Mr. Pietsch reported that the annexation is generally consistent with Boundary Review Board objectives. The fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $8,580 at full development, and an estimated one-time parks development cost of $35,383. He pointed out the necessity of the one-time parks development cost, explaining that the parks mitigation fee collected upon development does not cover the full cost of providing the City's desired level of service. In conclusion, Mr. Pietsch stated that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City annexation policies. He noted that the Utility Division suggests using King County's 1998 Surface Water Design Manual, Level H standards for future development. 23, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 191 Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL: ACCEPT THE LINDBERG ANNEXATION 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX; SUPPORT FUTURE R-8 ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION; AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD AND PREPARE THE RELEVANT ORDINANCES. CARRIED. Transportation: NE 3rd/4th St This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Corridor Improvements Study accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Final Report public hearing to consider the final report for the NE 3rd and 4th Street Corridor Improvements Study Project (from Sunset Blvd. N. to the City limits). Keith Woolley, Civil Engineer III, explained that the purpose of the project was to develop a comprehensive set of street, traffic control, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and actions that will address the existing and future access and circulation needs of the corridor. He stated that an evaluation of the existing corridor system was conducted indicating: traffic congestion; inadequate capacity; operational and safety problems (especially those involving left turns); an incomplete sidewalk system; a lack of bicycle facilities; and an inconsistent streetscape. Mr. Woolley reported that in order to keep the community involved in the planning process, three public open houses were held over the course of the project. He indicated that a 'Boulevard" concept is recommended for the corridor, both in look and in function. Recommended improvements include: intersection improvements, a center median, bus pullouts, sidewalk buffering, bicycle facilities, and improved aesthetics (roadside and median landscaping). Mr. Woolley pointed out that the center median will provide access management, safety, speed control, and beautification. Continuing, Mr. Woolley displayed and reviewed schematic diagrams and cross sections of the conceptual plan, as well as the conceptual layout plan for the various segments along the corridor. Mr. Woolley reviewed the issues relating to implementation and construction, including steep slopes, the need to acquire additional right-of-way, existing transmission power utility poles, existing corner developments at key intersections, and reliance on a State I-405 improvement project. He indicated that mitigation of private property impacts, landscaping, and streetscape will be addressed at the project design level. In regards to costs and staging, Mr. Woolley stated that the improvements are estimated to cost $25 million, and will be broken down into eleven stages that range from $1 to $5 million. Noting that this project will take 15 or more years to complete, he reported that a phased prioritized implementation approach is recommended. Mr. Woolley explained that high priority improvement projects will be furthered into pre -design as funding is pursued and becomes available. Public comment was invited. Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, encouraged the City to address the safety issues along the corridor, especially in the area of the Maureen Highlands Subdivision (vicinity of NE 4th St. and Rosario Ave. NE). May 23, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 192 Noting the increase in development along the corridor, Ms. High suggested that the City focus any future revenue from annexed areas on corridor sections that are the most impacted by development. Mike O'Halloran, 4420 SE 4th St., Renton, 98059, asked the City to make this project a high priority. He expressed his hope that the Liberty Ridge Subdivision developer or residents will improve their common area facing NE 3rd St., that the Washington State Highway Maintenance Department will landscape its common area which faces NE 3rd St., and that the intersection of Union Ave. NE and NE 4th St. will be one of the first to be improved. Tom Winter, 311 Edmonds Ave. SE, Renton, 98056, requested the installation of a guard rail at the top of a steep slope located on the south side of NE 3rd St., east of Edmonds Ave. NE. He expressed concern about the safety of the residents who live at the base of the slope in the Liberty Ridge Subdivision, saying that there is nothing to prevent cars and debris from flying over the hill and into their backyards. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler stated that the matter will be investigated. Dennis Neuzil, 2307 94th Ave. NE, Bellevue, 98004, speaking on behalf of the Cascade Bicycle Club, indicated that the club has been working on a regional bicycle route system plan for the four counties of Central Puget Sound. He stated that NE 3rd and 4th St., and its extension of SE 128th St. over to May Valley Rd., is proposed to be a part of the regional route. Mr. Neuzil expressed his appreciation for the inclusion of bicycle facilities in the City's corridor plan. Stanley Piha, 2101 4th Ave., Suite 250, Seattle, 98121, spoke on behalf of R and S Investment Company located at 4020 NE 4th St. He explained that a bus pullout is proposed that will potentially use 16 feet of the property, resulting in the removal of the majority of the landscaping in front of the property and the possible elimination of three to four parking stalls. Mr. Piha pointed out that this action may result in the property becoming a legal but nonconforming use, and then the owner could not rebuild in the event of a fire. He asked that the City take care to mitigate the impacts of the project so that properties do not become nonconforming, and suggested relocating the bus pullout further to the west. Councilman Corman stated that this may be a good case for a variance. Councilman Clawson noted that the City of Tukwila recently adopted an ordinance regarding setbacks, and suggested that it be reviewed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY PALMER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL ADOPT THE NE 3RD AND 4TH STREET CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS STUDY FINAL REPORT AS THE LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. CARRIED.

The Renton Farmers Market begins Tuesday, June 7th, at the Piazza. The market will be open every Tuesday from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. through September 21 st. Several City staff members participated in Emergency Coordination Center training activities last week. This on -going training ensures the City is prepared to respond to various large-scale emergencies and natural disasters. A fireworks ban is now in effect in the City of Renton, where property losses caused by fireworks incidents have totaled over $575,000 in the last five years. AUDIENCE COMMENT Dave C. Hardy, 19235 108th Ave. SE, #206, Renton, 98055, spoke in support Citizen Comment: Hardy - of State House Bill 2068, which relates to children testifying in dissolution Children Testifying in proceedings. Mr. Hardy explained that he is trying to obtain support for the Dissolution Proceedings (HB bill, as it still is under consideration by the Juvenile Justice and Family Law 2068) Committee. In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry, Mr. Hardy stated that he did testify his support to the Committee. Mr. Corman pointed out that bills often take multiple legislative sessions to garner support, and he encouraged Mr. Hardy to continue to testify at Committee meetings. Citizen Comment: Brehmer - Theresa Brehmer, Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Bellevue, 98005, Sewer Moratorium in East spoke on the subject of the proposed sewer moratorium in the East Renton Renton Plateau PAA Plateau potential annexation area. She stated that Bennett Development is working on a 50- to 60-lot subdivision project located at 17250 140th St., and expressed her concern regarding the effect of the moratorium on the project. Discussion ensued regarding the timing of the project, annexation, proximity of the project to available sewer, and the timeline for the Issaquah School District's Liberty High School sewer project. (See page 194 for committee report.) Citizen Comment: Alder, Rebecca Alder, 3112 NE 14th St., Renton, 98056, stated that by annexing the Merritt II Annexation, Low Merritt II Annexation site and applying low density residential zoning, a lot of Density Development money is being expended for the direct benefit of a few people. Instead of creating residences that can only be accessed by car and that are located on the fringes of the service areas, Ms. Alder stressed that Renton needs to revitalize its core and focus on creating places that are within walking distance, thereby resulting in the use of less oil.

In response to Council President Briere's inquiry, Community Services Administrator Dennis Culp explained that this project was previously bid in October 2004. However, due to time delays brought on by the contractor, the "fish window" timeframe for the project was missed. The City withdrew the contract, and rebid the project in 2005. Mr. Culp indicated that the funding originally allocated to this project is insufficient, but savings from already completed projects were carried forward as part of the Major Maintenance/Parks Maintenance budget for 2005 and are available to use on this project.

The Transportation Partnership Act of 2005 Saving Lives, Moving People, Delivering Goods A sixteen year investment package to improve the safety of our roadways, to protect our investment in roads and bridges, and to improve the Washington economy. Washington State Legislature April 23, 2005 �� T he Transportation partnership Act of 2005 Saving Lives, Moving People, Delivering Goods In 2000, the Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation identified many faults with our transportation system, and recommended eighteen areas of improvement to rebuild public trust, engage the private sector in a transportation partnership, and get our state moving again. Five years later, most of those recommendations have been adopted, and strict accountability standards are in place. Performance audits of the Department of Transportation and all significant projects are moving ahead. Workplace efficiencies have been implemented. There's a greater role for private sector investment. It's easier to get needed permits while still protecting the environment. And -critical new transportation investments have been made across the state. The 2003 Nickel Package was the first major transportation investment in 13 years. This $4 billion package made sizable investments in congestion relief and projects addressing safety and preservation needs. We've already completed significant work on I-405, SR 500 in Vancouver, improved freight mobility on I-90 near Cle Elum, and scores of other projects are underway for the upcoming construction season. But this was only intended to be a first step. Much remains to be done. Earthquakes, population and economic growth, an aging infrastructure and safety problems contribute to huge unmet state and local needs. The Blue Ribbon Commission identified $50 billion in unmet needs over the next 20 years; the Nickel Package addressed just $4 billion. At -risk facilities Bridges and roads all over Washington pose a public safety risk if not fixed. The Alaskan Way Viaduct and the 520 floating bridge are a tremor away from shutdown or collapse. Should either of these structures fail, the loss of life and disruption to our economy would be devastating. Across the state, 139 bridges have load restrictions because they're old and damaged, and need to be replaced. Another 800 bridges need "seismic retrofits": they need to be shored up so their columns and foundations don't crumble in an earthquake. Other work is needed to preserve many of our bridges, rather than replace them later at a higher cost. Safety improvements Scores of simple safety projects across the state could save lives, if we had the money for them. These include improvements at dangerous intersections, cable guard rails on divided highways, pedestrian safetyprojects, and projects to reduce accidents in high accident locations. Local transportation needs The transportation crisis is also a local crisis. Cities and counties have seen expenses rise while state and local funding has been cut. Pavement is deteriorating and potholes are getting deeper. Basic repair and maintenance budgets are underfunded. Population growth and business development create additional pressures for new investments. N Ferry system For people who live on islands and peninsulas, bridges and ferries are their state highways. Efficient movement of people across the water is part of the core mission of the state transportation agency. A multi -modal transportation system is just as important on water as it is on land, to ensure efficient movement of people. Public transportation Some congestion and access problems can be solved without building new roads or adding lanes; rather, improved public transportation often is the most efficient and cost effective solution. Incentives to encourage people to use public transportation is an effective way to address transportation problems. The solution: New investments innovative financing, and im roved accountability. Investments: The Transportation Partnership Act of 2005 invests $8.5 billion raised with a 9.50 gas tax increase, sensible weight fees, and small fee increases to reflect the cost of service provided. It's invested in at -risk projects, safety improvements, congestion relief and mobility improvements. Local governments: Cities and counties will share a penny of the new gas tax. This will provide $602 million over 16 years to address local maintenance, preservation and improvement projects. Another $80 million is invested in grant programs for cities and counties, and $103 million in local freight mobility projects. Innovative financing: Traditional revenues alone cannot provide enough revenue to build, operate, preserve and maintain the system, now and into the future. HB 1541 authorizes innovative financing tools to augment traditional funding . Tolls will be part of the long-term solution. Accountability: The solution also demands reform and increased accountability. • The Governor will appoint the state's transportation chief, the Secretary of Transportation, so she can hold him accountable. The State Auditor is empowered to conduct performance audits of state transportation agencies. The regional transportation investment district is funded to allow it to bring to the ballot in the King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, a regional tax package complementing state investments. New controls are in place that ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. Over the last four years, the Washington Department of Transportation has demonstrated they can work faster and better with less money. The 2003 Nickel Package proved that the public will support new revenue if there are results. We must continue enacting reforms to improve accountability. And we must raise new revenue to invest in projects that save lives, move people, and deliver goods throughout the state. 3 FINAL Transportation Revenue Package ($'s in Millions) Sources of Funding 9.50 gas tax increase (30 7/1 /05, 3¢ 7/1 /06, 2¢ 7/1 /07, 1.50 7/1 /08) Bond Proceeds Vehicle Weight Fee ($10 to $30 per vehicle, not restricted) Applies to Passenger Cars Light Trucks under 8,000 lbs.

The state has made great strides in accountability over the past four years, with regular performance audits; new workplace efficiencies; a greater role for the private sector; and streamlined permitting. But more is needed to improve public confidence. 2005 ACCOUNTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS Governor appoints Secretary of Transportation, subject to Senate confirmation. Secretary serves at the pleasure of the Governor. (SB 5513) The state auditor may conduct performance audits on state transportation agencies (WSDOT, Transportation Improvement Board, Traffic Safety Council), and $4 million is appropriated to cover the costs in 2005-07. The Auditor will contract with private firms to conduct the performance audits. (SB 6103) The State Auditor is a member of the Transportation Performance Audit Board (TPAB), which will conduct performance audits on state and local transportation agencies. At the state level, this includes WSDOT, Washington State Patrol, Department of Licensing, TIB, CRAB, and the Traffic Safety Commission. TPAB may contract with the state auditor or the legislative auditor to serve as contract manager of the reviews and performance audits. 2003 ACCOUNTABILITY IMPROVEMENTS • SB 5748, performance audits of transportation agencies. Created the Transportation Performance Audit Board. TPAB has completed five major audits: WSDOT's capital management program; environmental permitting; highway and ferry programs; and transportation programs in the Department of Licensing and the Washington State Patrol • SB 5279, permit streamlining. The Transportation Permit Efficiency and Accountability Committee (TPEAC) is reauthorized for three years, to continue its work to develop one -stop permitting, programmatic permits, to integrate local permitting into the streamlined process, and to better coordinate state permit requirements. • SB 5248, workforce efficiencies. Authorizes more contracting out of transportation construction and engineering services, prevailing wage process improvements; increased apprenticeships; and requiring local government transportation efficiencies as a condition of receiving state funds. • HB 1163, transportation appropriations. Strict project appropriations tie the money down so WSDOT can't move money from one project to another without legislative approval. 5 ADDITIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES Quarterly reporting. Secretary of Transportation Doug MacDonald has put a sharp focus on accountability and efficiency since assuming the post in 2001. A quarterly performance report known as the Gray Notebook provides in-depth reports on agency and transportation system performance. Its purpose is to keep WSDOT accountable to the Transportation Commission, Washington state citizens, legislators and transportation organizations. It also is an important internal management and integration tool WSDOT also publishes a quarterly report on the program funded in the 2003 Nickel Package, including detailed status reports on the key projects. Financial audits by State Auditor. The state auditor independently serves the citizens of Washington by promoting accountability, fiscal integrity and openness in state and local government. State and local transportation agencies are audited yearly. Any problems are reported as findings. WSDOT and other transportation agencies are required to respond to audit findings, and report on actions taken to address deficiencies. Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee QLARQ carries out independent performance audits, program evaluations, sunset reviews, and other policy and fiscal studies for the legislature and the citizens of Washington State. Recent transportation performance audits covered the aviation division, the Washington State Patrol, WSDOT's capital program, the ferry system, and the highways and rail programs. no Congestion Relief & Bus Rapid Transit Projects Nickel Plus New Revenue \ J (figures to muttons) '-, N ransportation Nrcket,-;a 2005 n war 1 �r 2bb3 2012 Account - `t. 1-5 to SR 169 _ 1 South Renton Nickel Projects..............................136 I-5 to SR 181..........................................................................30 ,ryl; SB SR 181 to SR 167 (1 lane) 3 NB SR 167 to SR 169............................................................20 -� SR 515 Interchange .............. 110 SR 167 SB: 1-405 to SE 180th (1 lane)..................................50 r SR 169 to 1-90 NE 44th to 112th Ave ....................... .............. ...................... 150 112th Ave to 1-90....................................................................20 1-90 Crossing t ' iF1 I-90 to SR 520 'y Bellevue Nickel Projects: 1-90 to SE 8th ..............185 .,� t'3 NB NE 8th to SR 520 Braided Crossing..............................250 �y �;;•�...

The federal act phased out the federal estate tax by 2010 and reduced the credit allowed for state taxes by 25 percent per year. In addition, the threshold for paying estate taxes also increased. For persons dying in 2002, the exemption was $1 million, and by 2009 it will be $3.5 million. In 1981, Initiative 402 repealed the state inheritance tax and replaced it with an estate tax equal to the amount of the federal estate tax credit for state taxes. When originally approved by the voters in 1981, Initiative 402 incorporated the federal Internal Revenue Code "as it is amended from time to time." In 1990, the Legislature amended Initiative 402 to refer to the Internal Revenue Code "as it existed on June 7, 1990." This change made it necessary for the Legislature to adopt a conforming amendment in order to incorporate any subsequent changes in the federal Internal Revenue Code. A conforming amendment was last made in 2001. The last reference was to the federal Internal Revenue Code as it existed on January 1, 2001, which was prior to adoption of the federal act. Thus, state law continued to incorporate the calculation for the credit for state taxes as it existed under the prior federal law, and the Department of Revenue continued to collect the tax based on rates and exemptions in effect before the federal Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Court Case: The Department's collection of the tax was challenged in Hemphill v State. In Hemphill, petitioners argued that Washington estate taxes collected since 2002 are invalid if not reimbursed by a federal tax credit. The Superior Court ruled in favor of upholding the tax. Hemphill was appealed to the state Supreme Court. The state Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday, February 3, 2005 for the petitioners — or against the tax. They found that the Legislature has created "an internal conflict" within the statute. They ruled that persons filing estate tax claims, who are not subject to federal taxation, are owed a refund of estate taxes collected by the state since January 1, 2002. Fiscal Consequences: In the current (2003-05) biennium, Washington anticipated collecting $271.4 million in estate taxes. The Department of Revenue estimates that refunds will cost the state $156.4 million. Revenue losses through the remainder of this biennium and the 2005-07 biennium are estimated at $300 million. Therefore, the impact of the court decision was a $456.4 million loss to the state. 2005 Legislative Action: The 2005 Legislature enacted legislation to create a stand-alone state estate tax that meets the test of the Supreme Court ruling. The new tax affects fewer persons than the previous law — it only applies to estates valued at $1.5 million or more for persons dying in 2005 and at $2.0 million or more thereafter. A deduction is allowed for family farms. The tax only impacts personal property located in Washington. In the 2005-07 biennium, the estate tax will generate $133.6 million. The following biennium, it will increase to $202.7 million. These revenues will be deposited in the newly created Education Legacy Trust Account. The increase in cigarette taxes, also passed in the 2005 legislative session, will also go into this new account. The Education Legacy Trust Account will fund: the increased cost of Initiative 728, new enrollments at the state's colleges and universities, substantial increases to the State Need Grant and other education improvements such as increased funding for the Learning Assistance Program (LAP). Taking Points — Used during Floor Debate: • We're not doing anything new. Until February, Washington had an estate tax that stretched back more than a century (since 1901). It was linked to the federal estate tax, which is being phased out. o What we're talking about is joining a dozen other states that have reinstated their own estate tax since the federal government made their changes. o We are not creating something that hasn't already existed. ■ But we are doing it better. This replacement estate tax has a significantly reduced impact on estates: o The first $2 million are completely exempt. o Family farms are completely exempt, if at least 50% of the value is actually being used for farming. ■ We're taking care of our children. The revenue generated by the estate tax will all go to the Education Legacy Trust. It will fund: o Initiative 728, which the voters overwhelmingly approved to help keep class sizes in our schools manageable; o higher education enrollments; o fmancial aid for higher education; and 0 other education needs. ■ What is more important? Who wouldn't agree that adequate funding of education is essential for our children to be successful and our economy to be robust? We hear these words often this time of year: "Education is the paramount duty" of the state of Washington. This package will help us respect that. ■ Who will pay? The reality is, the revenue generated will come from only about 250 estates a year. o 44,642 people died in our state last year. 99 and %2 percent of their heirs would have been totally exempt from this tax. o An estate worth $2,010,000 might have to pay up to $1000 in estate tax. That's right, $1000. Out of a more than $2 million estate. ■ This is money that has not been taxed before. Most other states without the estate tax have an income tax or a capital gains tax, but Washington does not. State Le .tip rs� ,p House Democratic Caucus Government Accountability 0 HB 1064 — Performance Audits This is a major reform to increase government accountability and restore the public's trust. This legislation requires independent performance audits of state agencies. The independently elected State Auditor will be responsible for the performance audits. The auditors will use a simple scorecard system to grade agencies. The legislation creates a citizen advisory board to help establish the criteria to evaluate an agency's fiscal efficiency, program effectiveness and customer satisfaction. Agencies will be required to follow up on audit findings and improve in areas that were identified as needing more work or improvement. (Delivered to governor) RJHB 1970 — Improving state agency performance This reform will take government accountability to a new level. Based on similar systems that have been successful in other states, this system encourages regular accountability and constant improvement. State agencies will create clear goals and strategies to best serve the public. Real data will be collected and evaluated on a regular basis to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This bill will allow for agencies to correct problems sooner and deliver services where they are needed most. (Delivered to governor) QHB 1242 — Priorities of government One of a governments primary responsibilities is to spend tax dollars wisely. This bill puts into law budgeting principles that will help ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent efficiently. The bill focuses on laying out our priorities and ranking them from most important to least. Prioritizing services will require we spend money first on critical services that benefit the whole state. The bill also requires that agencies' demonstrate measurable improvement in services to the public. This approach to budgeting will ensure state government spending reflects the priorities and values of the public. (Delivered to governor) QSB 6103 — Transportation Performance Audits The state auditor may conduct performance audits on state transportation agencies and will become a member of the Transportation Audit Board. (Delivered to governor) In the Press... "In a time of tight budget cuts and public demands for increased government efficiency, the performance audit bill approved by the Legislature is a step in the right direction." - The Olympian April24, 2005 "Such audits would... probe whether the agencies are doing their jobs in as efficient a way as possible. The closer look could reveal possible savings from elimination of duplication or unnecessary paperwork or bureaucracy, or from implementation of shared -purchasing strategies." - Seattle Times February 14, 2005 Talking Points --Performance audits and accountability measures will make government cheaper, better and faster. --Improving accountability will help restore the public's trust in government. --These reforms will show the public that they are getting value for their tax dollars.

It bordered by SE 132❑d Street on its southern boundary and 138th Avenue SE on its western boundary. The annexation site abuts City on its southern, western and northern boundaries (see back of handout). If the Council decides to accept the 60% Petition to Annex at tonight's meeting it is being asked to hold the first of two required public hearings on future zoning for the annexation site. This assumes the Boundary Review Board approves it and Council afterwards decides to bring the area into the city. The site currently has King County's R-4 zoning and there are nine single-family detached dwellings on it. Proposed future zoning would likely be Renton's R-8 (8 units per net acre). Renton's zoning deletes critical areas and streets from a site's gross acreage whereas the County's zoning does not. Also, the County's zoning allows both attached and detached units. With the City's R-8 zoning, the 10.11-acre site could accommodate approximately 63 single- family detached dwelling units at full development, versus 58 units under the County's R-4 zoning. Reviewing departments of the City have raised no major objections to this annexation. The Administration recommends that Council: • Accept the 60% Petition to Annex for the Lindberg Annexation; • Hold the first of two required public hearings on future zoning; • Support future zoning on the site consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan land use designation; • Authorize the Administration to forward the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board for King County; and, • Authorize the Administration to begin preparing annexation and zoning ordiances for future Council consideration, assuming the BRB approves the annexation and the Council decides to bring the subject area into the City.

The court shall not order a 7 dispute resolution process, except court action, when it finds that any 8 limiting factor under RCW 26.09.191 applies, or when it finds that 9 either parent is unable to afford the cost of the proposed dispute 10 resolution process. If a dispute resolution process is not precluded 11 or limited, then in designating such a process the court shall consider 12 all relevant factors, including: 13 (a) Differences between the parents that would substantially 14 inhibit their effective participation in any designated process; 15 (b) The parents' wishes or agreements and, if the parents have 16 entered into agreements, whether the agreements were made knowingly and 17 voluntarily; and 18 (c) Differences in the parents' financial circumstances that may �0'�3 4 A,rt, S-Z�� Ri^h-r� WA 9 V oSS P. 1 G� Apt 1`alJ�c�(� yct�ov. c6 1 affect their ability to participate fully in a given dispute resolution 2 process. 3 (2) ALLOCATION OF DECISION -MAKING AUTHORITY. 4 (a) AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. The court shall approve 5 agreements of the parties allocating decision -making authority, or 6 specifying rules in the areas listed in RCW 26.09.184 (4) (a) , when it 7 finds that: 8 (i) The agreement is consistent with any limitations on a parent's 9 decision -making authority mandated by RCW 26.09.191; and 10 (ii) The agreement is knowing and voluntary. 11 (b) SOLE DECISION -MAKING AUTHORITY. The court shall order sole 12 decision -making to one parent when it finds that: 13 (i) A limitation on the other parent's decision -making authority is 14 mandated by RCW 26.09.191; 15 (ii) Both parents are opposed to mutual decision making; 16 (iii) One parent is opposed to mutual decision making, and such 17 opposition is reasonable based on the criteria in (c) of this 18 subsection; 19 (c) MUTUAL DECISION -MAKING AUTHORITY.

Each defendant is a political subdivision of the state of Washington with which a proper claim for damages was filed in a timely manner, and the appropriate period of time within which suit may not be commenced after the filing of a claim has run against each. II. All parties are either residents of or are located in King County Washington, and all tortuous acts and omissions herein alleged occurred in said county. COMPLAINT FOR FALSE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT SHAFER, MOEN, & BRYAN, P.S. AND DAMAGES RELATED THERETO P 1325 Fourth Avenue, Suite 940 Page 1 0 Seattle, WA 98101 206.624.7460 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 On May 27, 2003 City of Renton Police, at the request of City of Seattle Police, awakened Plaintiff in his Renton home and arrested him on the claim that he had violated a Temporary Order of Protection they claimed had been issued in King County Superior Court Cause No. 03-2-21634-8 SEA, and after said arrest Renton officers delivered Plaintiff to Seattle officers who jailed him in Seattle. 1►A The Superior Court had considered a petition and evidence offered in said cause and had refused to enter a Temporary Order of Protection against Plaintiff because of credibility and evidentiary insufficiencies of the material offered by the petitioner therein. In refusing to enter the order the court noted that: "This is petitioner's third requested petition against a third respondent alleging near identical threats." LTA The Superior Court in said cause did set a hearing date on the petition and on May 25, 2003 Renton Police served a notice of that hearing date and a copy of the petition on Plaintiff and completed a Return of Service which it filed with the Superior Court certifying that it had served those two items and had not served any Temporary Order of Protection on Plaintiff. VI. After such service and return of service by the Renton Police Department, the Seattle Police Department issued a dispatch claiming that it had probable cause to arrest Plaintiff for a violation of the non-existent Temporary Order of Protection, whereupon a Renton Officer called a Seattle Officer, rather than checking Renton's own records, to verify the Seattle Police Department's claim of the existence of such probable cause for arrest. The Seattle officer falsely provided confirmation that it had probable cause for Plaintiffs arrest for violation of the non- existent order and requested that Renton officers make the arrest and deliver Plaintiff to Seattle. COMPLAINT FOR FALSE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT AND DAMAGES RELATED THERETO Page 2 VII. SHAFER, MOEN, & BRYAN, P.S. 1325 Fourth Avenue, Suite 940 Seattle, WA 98101 206.624.7460 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Also on the day of Plaintiff's arrest, May 27, 2003, a Seattle Police Officer prepared a false certification of probable cause for Seattle Municipal prosecutors and for the Seattle Municipal Court certifying that Plaintiff had violated the non-existent Temporary Order for the purpose of influencing the conduct of prosecutors and the Municipal Court to act against Plaintiff. VIII. Authorities with the City of Renton have indicated that the May 25, 2003 Return of Service certifying that no Temporary Order had been served was delivered to the defendant King County according to the printed instructions on the back of that form and that the false certifications and other statements by Seattle Police as likely as not were caused by negligent entry of the information on the Return of Service into the King County law enforcement computer system upon which criminal justice system officers and courts rely. This allegation was presented in the claim filed with King County on January 10, 2004 to which the county has offered no response whatever. Therefore, Plaintiff alleges upon information and belief that it is more likely than not that the defendant King County tortiously entered misinformation concerning Plaintiff and the District Court Case into the computer system. IX. The tortuous acts and omissions of the defendants, and each of them, proximately caused and contributed to all damages incurred by Plaintiff as hereinafter alleged. X. As a result of the tortuous acts and 'omissions of each defendant, Plaintiff was falsely arrested, imprisoned, falsely accused of committing criminal acts and falsely prosecuted on charges eventually dismissed; and further, Plaintiff incurred the expenses of a bail bond premium, criminal defense lawyer services, loss of earnings and suffered the loss of personal freedom, humiliation, mental anguish, together with such other damage as shall be set forth a trial. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment against the defendants, and each of them, jointly and severally, in such an amount as shall fully and fairly compensate him for all his COMPLAINT FOR FALSE ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT SHAFER, MOEN, & BRYAN, P.S.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Engineer's Estimate: $133,874.00 In accordance with Council procedure, bids submitted at the subject bid opening met the following criteria: There was more than one bid and there were no irregularities. Because the low bid submitted by Global Diving & Salvage, Inc. in the amount of $109,168.08 was not within the project budget, Council approval is sought to use excess budget from the Kennydale Beach Playground Replacement Project and the Liberty Park Maintenance Building Project to add to the $70,000 budgeted for this project. The funding originally allocated to this project is insufficient since Berger/Abam Engineers' design services contract, in the amount of $19,718, plus the bid will bring the total project cost to approximately $129,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council authorize the use of excess budget from completed projects, accept the low bid submitted by Global Diving & Salvage, Inc. for the Gene Coulon Park Boat Launch Repair Poject, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the contract in the amount of $109,168.08. MEMORANDUM CITY OF RENTON COMMUNITY SERVICES 0 Committed to Enriching Lives 0 DATE: May 12, 2005 TO: Terri Briere, Council President Members of City Council VIA: .,�J Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor FROM: Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator,h.v�� Leslie Betlach, Parks Director (ext. 6619) STAFF CONTACT: Bill Rasmussen, Capital Project Coordinator (ext. 6617) SUBJECT: Acceptance of Bid for Coulon Beach Park Boat Launch Repair Project, CAG-05-052 A bid opening was held on Thursday, May 5, 2005, for the Coulon Beach Park Boat Launch Repair Project. The scope of work for this project includes locating and salvaging displaced concrete panels from the lake, reinstalling the concrete panels on the launch ramps, and installing micro -piles and metal grating. The engineer's estimate was $133,874.00 for the base bid. A total of three (3) bids were received, with Global Diving & Salvage, Inc., of Seattle, WA, as the apparent low bidder, submitting a bid of $109,168.08 (base bid). The project budget amount is $70,000. Funding for this project comes from the Major Maintenance/Parks Maintenance fund(316.000000.020.5940.0076.63.000001) for capital improvements. Berger/Abam Engineers, Inc. was contracted to provide professional design services for the project in the amount of $19,718. No other costs, besides the contract with the approved contractor, are anticipated. The funding originally allocated for this project is insufficient, since the engineers' contract plus Global Diving & Salvage, Inc.'s bid will bring the total project cost to approximately $129,000. However, approximately $67,000 remains from the completion of the Kennydale Beach Playground Replacement Project and $32,000 remains from the completion of the Liberty Park Maintenance Building Project. These funds were carried forward as part of the $445,900 Major Maintenance/Parks Maintenance budget for 2005. The funds for these projects are available to use, upon approval, for the boat launch repair project. 2005-106aa November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 399 Committee.

Larry Langsweirdt The Washington Food Industry represents the majority of grocers and food SUPERVALU, Inc. distributors in Washington State. We are committed to our mission of providing safe, affordable food to the working families of Washington State.

Michael Read Winco Foods Dean Sonnenberg URM Stores Don Stolz Skyway Market Jim Tanasse Kraft Foods Jim Wilcox Wilcox Farms -'ill Young Market Place Mike Davis Tidyman's Vice President The City of Renton proposed ordinance on abandoned shopping carts has clearly been drafted with a great deal of thought and we appreciate the effort that has gone into it. Until now the food industry has not provided adequate feedback and our hope is that through constructive dialogue we can forge an even better solution. Our bottom line is simple. Give us six months to work out and implement a less burdensome approach that meets both of our needs. This approach will still require an ordinance to insure that all retailers play by the rules, but will reduce unnecessary work for the City and retailers. We are not seeking a delay; we are seeking implementation of a more efficient model. Unfortunately, even though your staff contacted local store managers there were no communications with corporate headquarters or trade associations. In the industry we start from a simple foundation. Carts cost from $80 to $250 and are not something that stores can easily write off. For the most part, abandoned shopping carts are the result of theft. Whether it is a purse or shopping cart that is stolen in a parking lot, the discussion should begin with how can we reduce crime. Retailers continue to be disturbed by the tendency in government to manage minor crimes and further burden the victim, rather than address the more difficult enforcement questions. We would like to see a greater emphasis on the enforcement strategy side of the equation and would like to work with you on this component. From that foundation, we move to the cart retrieval issue. Here we do believe retailers have an obligation to retrieve carts. The facts are these. Some stores have shopping cart theft problems of 15% per year or greater, others are under 1 %. It is a waste of everyone's time to burden stores that do not have a theft problem with the requirements detailed in the proposed ordinance. For smaller independent stores in particular the costs as a percentage of sales in the proposed ordinance would be significant. Perimeter systems technology is still not cost-effective except in the most extreme cases. The _ problem is not only the initial cost that can run more than $150 per cart, but also the ongoing maintenance costs. Deposit systems have been tried, are less effective, meet strong customer resistance and entail their own costs. What we are looking at is a more streamlined approach that would require stronger local policing, labeling of carts, retrieval of carts by retailers, and penalties for retailers who do not comply. There would be no prevention plan requirements unless a retailer failed to comply, in which case most of the requirements in the proposed ordinance would become mandatory for that retailer. Such an approach will require retailers to coordinate a retrieval effort and we need time to determine if that is better handled at the store or city level. We also need time to share our thoughts with other retailers and work with you to insure all significant concerns are addressed. Currently grocery stores are facing a landslide of regulations. The federal country of origin labeling went into effect in April, the new State Food Code went into effect this month, the federal bioterrorism rules go into effect in December, and the new federal food labeling requirements go into effect in January --- just to name the industry specific obligations. The U.S. food industry has achieved a miracle, delivering food at a lower cost than any other industrialized nation. That miracle is now threatened by increasing regulation. Whether it is federal trans fat labeling or the Renton shopping cart ordinance it is important that we work together to achieve the optimum result. Thank you for your consideration.

The area of the moratorium shall only be that portion of our sewer service area that is within the East Renton Plateau Annexation Study Area, which is generally defined as that portion of our service area east of our current City limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and our City limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east.

The Planning and Development Committee recommends concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt the Shopping Cart Regulations. The proposed regulations would require that businesses with more than ten (10) shopping carts prepare and file a plan with the City to prevent the illegal removal of carts from the business premises. The proposed regulations further seek to prevent the continued possession of illegally removed carts, and to prevent the accumulation of illegally removed carts on public or private properties. The proposed regulations would allow the City to impound shopping carts, and charge a fine if the owner fails to pick-up impounded carts after receiving verbal notice from the City. The Committee recommends that the Shopping Cart Regulations be adopted, and that an ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading. J in Lawson, Chair Denis W.
