Proclamation
Whereas, this July We Rise Up for Parks and Recreation and all the professionals who build
strong, vibrant, and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation; and
Whereas, the City of Renton recognizes the importance of this work, because park and
recreation professionals advocate for their communities in service of equity, climate readiness,
and overall health and well‐being; and
Whereas, parks and natural recreation areas ensure the ecological beauty of our community
and provide places for children and adults to connect with nature and recreate outdoors; and
Whereas, open space, trees, and natural areas are vital to ecological benefits of cooler, cleaner
air and water; reduced energy consumption; and reduced surface water run‐off; and
Whereas, parks and recreation encourages physical activities by providing space for popular
sports, hiking trails, a golf course, swimming pools, and many other activities designed to
promote active lifestyles; and
Whereas, park and recreation programming and education activities, such as museum exhibits,
out‐of‐school time programming, youth sports, environmental education, and nutrition services
are critical to childhood development and also enhance the quality of life for all residents; and
Whereas, the Parks and Recreation Department is guided by the City’s mission to build an
inclusive, informed city and make community spaces safe, engaging, and accessible to all;
Now, therefore, I, Armondo Pavone, Mayor of the City of Renton, do hereby proclaim
July 2022 to be
Parks and Recreation Month
in the City of Renton, and I encourage all citizens to join me in this special observance.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk
STAFF CONTACT: Jason Seth, City Clerk

FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Contract Award: $2,505,667
Total Budget: $3,000,000
Engineer's Estimate: $2,039,825
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City Clerk Division opened bids on June 9, 2022 for the Bronson Way Bridge - Seismic Retrofit and Painting
Project; CAG-22-062. The bid opening met the following Council criteria:
1) There was more than one bid;
2) The lowest responsive and responsible bid was within project budget; and
3) There were no irregularities with the lowest responsive and responsible bid.
However, the current project budget is not sufficient to cover all anticipated expenses for the project construction phase.
Specifically, construction management services and 10% contingency on the construction contract is not available. Staff
estimates the construction services (construction management, inspection, materials testing and documentation) will cost
approximately $300,000. Staff estimates City expenses (staff time, etc.) will be approximately $14,500. A 10% contingency
on the apparent low bid amount is $250,567. Adding these amounts to the apparent low bid amount results in a total
anticipated expense of $3,070,734 for the construction phase. With an allocated budget of $2,514,500 for the construction
phase, this leaves a potential funding shortfall of $556,234 for the project. However, staff estimates that the PE phase will
have approximately $105,000 remaining in unspent and unencumbered funds upon completion of that phase and these
funds will be transferred to the construction phase. This reduces a potential funding shortfall from $556,234 to $451,234.
There is $452,00 in unassigned fund balance in the Transportation Syst ems Capital Improvement 317 Fund to
cover this potential funding shortfall. These funds will be allocated as part of the third quarter budget
adjustment. Since there is presently sufficient funding to award the construction contract, we are requesting
that the Council award the construction contract to Combined Construction, Inc. in the amount of $2,505,677,
to allow construction to move forward during the 2022 summer construction window.
Therefore, staff recommends awarding CAG-22-062, Bronson Way Bridge - Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project,
to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Combined Construction, Inc., in the amount of $2,505,667.

SUBJECT:Bronson Way Bridge – Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project,
Construction Contract CAG-22-062
The Transportation Systems Division recommends award of the construction contract for the Bronson
Way Bridge – Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project (TIP #: 21-15), in the amount of $2,505,667.00, to
Combined Construction, Inc., 3701 South Road, Mukilteo, WA 98275.
Bids for this construction contract were received on Tuesday, June 7, 2022 and opened on Thursday,
June 9, 2022. A total of three (3) bids were submitted and are summarized below in alphabetic order:
SUBMITTED BY BID AMOUNT
ABHE & SVOBODA, INC.$3,220,720.00
CECCANTI, INC.$2,956,534.40
COMBINED CONSTRUCTION, INC.$2,505,667.00
Staff has determined that the bid submitted by Combined Construction, Inc. is the lowest responsive bid
and that the bidder is responsible per the mandatory bidder responsibility criteria of RCW 39.04.350(1).
The surety has confirmed with staff that the bid bond submitted by Combined Construction, Inc. is valid.
The Engineer’s Estimate for construction was $2,039,825.00. This figure was rounded up to $2.1 million
in the project budget. All three bids were over the Engineer’s Estimate. The lowest responsive and
responsible bid was $465,842.00 over the Engineer’s Estimate. After analysis of the bids, staff has
determined that the bid submitted by Combined Construction, Inc. is a fair representation of the cost of
the work associated with this project given the on-going supply chain shortages for various materials
and the additional challenge of completing some major elements of this project (i.e. painting, paving)
within the upcoming warm and dry weather work window of July through September.
The City was awarded $3,000,000 in state grant funding by the Washington State Legislature for design
and construction of this project. This state funding does not require matching funds from the City. Of
this grant amount, $485,500 is allocated to the Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase of the project and the

remaining $2,514,500 is allocated to the Construction (CONST) phase of the project. With the apparent
low bid amount of $2,505,667, there is sufficient funding to award the construction contract.
However, the project budget is not sufficient to cover all anticipated expenses for the CONST phase.
Specifically, construction services or a 10% contingency on the construction contract. Staff estimates the
construction services (construction management, inspection, materials testing and documentation) will
cost approximately $300,000. Staff estimates City expenses (staff time, etc.) will be approximately
$14,500. A 10% contingency on the apparent low bid amount is $250,567. Adding these amounts to the
apparent low bid amount results in a total anticipated expense of $3,070,734 for the construction
phase. With an allocated budget of $2,514,500 for the construction phase, this leaves a potential
funding shortfall of $556,234 for the project. However, staff estimates that the PE phase will have
approximately $105,000 remaining in unspent and unencumbered funds upon completion of that phase
and these funds will be transferred to the CONST phase. This reduces a potential funding shortfall from
$556,234 to $451,234.
There is $452,00 in unassigned fund balance in the Transportation Systems Capital Improvement 317
Fund to cover this potential funding shortfall. The funds would be allocated as part of the third quarter
budget adjustment. Since there is presently sufficient funding to award the construction contract, we
are requesting that the Council award the construction contract to Combined Construction, Inc. in the
amount of $2,505,677.

DEPARTMENT: Parks & Recreation Department
STAFF CONTACT: Cailin Hunsaker, Parks and Trails Director
EXT.: 6606
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Requesting approval to allow $8,000.00 grant funding as reimbursements from United Way of King County for
the 2022 Summer Meals Program in King County.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
City of Renton will actively participate in reducing food insecurity through the 2022 Summer Meals Program in King
County. United Way of King County and partners set a goal of serving over 575,000 meals throughout the Puget Sound
region. In order to achieve this goal in Renton, United Way of King County is teaming up with Summer Food Service
Program sponsors, such as Renton School District, to provide meals and snacks.
To complement food service at designated parks, City staff teams up with AmeriCorps members to engage youth ages 18
years and younger to participate in recreation activities. Funding from this grant goes toward the purchase of arts and
crafts supplies and sports equipment to support these activities.
Participants work to reduce barriers to participation and increase awareness of the program through marketing
promotions. Specifically, United Way-supported sites display and distribute United Way's Free Summer Meals marketing
materials and the City includes information in the summer edition of its Recreation Program guide.
In line with the Renton Business Plan 2022-2027, this Program supports the City's mission to "meet service demands and
provide high-quality customer service" through partnerships, innovation and outcome management.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Temporary Total Closure of Bronson Way South
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Derek Akesson, Transportation Project Manager
EXT.: 7337
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
There is no fiscal impact to the City by adopting the resolution.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Bronson Way Bridge – Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project includes three main work elements. They are
as follows: (1) Cleaning and Painting (remove existing paint to bare metal and apply new paint); (2) Seismic
Retrofit (bridge jacking for bearing rep lacement); (3) Bridge Deck (remove asphalt wearing course, modify
expansion joints, modify drains, repair concrete deck and curbs, waterproofing, paving).
The total project duration is anticipated to be 60 working days (approximately 3 months). A tempor ary total
street closure over the bridge is required to construct work elements 2 and 3. A temporary total street closure
over the bridge is not required to construct work element 1, although it would be more efficient. However,
work element 1 will require the closure of the outside traffic lanes and sidewalks over the bridge for the
painting containment system. This containment will be installed over/around the main span girders which
extend above the bridge deck
To minimize the disruption to the traveling public, the temporary total street closure duration has been
limited to those work elements that require a temporary total street closure. Namely, work elements 2 and 3.
The temporary total street closure for work elements 2 & 3 is anticipated to occur for a period of up to 42
calendar days between July 25, 2022 (after Renton River Days) and December 31, 2022, depending upon
Contractor’s schedule of work. The attached map of the primary detour routes shows the traffic alternatives
during bridge closure.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the temporary total closure of Bronson Way South between North Riverside
Drive and Mill Avenue South for up to 42 calendar days between July 25 and December 31, 2022 to construct

between the parties. Such final written acknowledgment shall be incorporated into, and become a part of, this
AGREEMENT. If requested, the CONSULTANT shall provide current payroll register and classifications to
aid in negotiations. If the parties cannot reach an agreement on the direct (raw) labor rates and classifications,
the AGENCY shall perform an audit of the CONSULTANT’s books and records to determine the
CONSULTANT’s actual costs. The audit findings will establish the direct (raw) labor rates and

rate under this AGREEMENT, even if/when other components of the hourly rate are not renegotiated. These
rates will be applicable for the twelve (12) month period. At the AGENCY’s option, a provisional and/or
conditional indirect cost rate may be negotiated. This provisional or conditional indirect rate shall remain in

Procedures,” the CONSULTANT has twenty (20) working days after receipt of the final Post Audit to begin

this section.
If it is determined for any reason, that the CONSULTANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT’s failure
to perform is without the CONSULTANT’s or its employee’s fault or negligence, the termination shall be
deemed to be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event, the CONSULTANT would be
reimbursed for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.

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 SERVICES required of it by the AGENCY.

CONSULTANT’s agents, employees, sub-consultants, subcontractors or vendors, of any tier, or any other

employees pursuant to the AGREEMENT; provided that this indemnity shall not apply to any alleged patent or
copyright infringement or other allegedly improper appropriation or use of trade secrets, patents, proprietary

any purpose other than the performance of this AGREEMENT, to release it only to authorized employees, sub-
consultants or subcontractors requiring such information for the purposes of carrying out this AGREEMENT,
and not to release, divulge, publish, transfer, sell, disclose, or otherwise make it known to any other party
without the AGENCY’s express written consent or as provided by law. The CONSULTANT agrees to release
such information or material only to employees, sub-consultants or subcontractors who have signed a
nondisclosure AGREEMENT, the terms of which have been previously approved by the AGENCY. The
CONSULTANT agrees to implement physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to prevent unauthorized
access to the State’s Confidential Information.
Immediately upon expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT, the CONSULTANT shall, at the
AGENCY’s option: (i) certify to the AGENCY that the CONSULTANT has destroyed all of the State’s
Confidential Information; or (ii) returned all of the State’s Confidential Information to the AGENCY; or (iii)

CONSULTANT’s records shall be subject to inspection, review, or audit upon reasonable notice from the
AGENCY.

collected, used, or acquired by the CONSULTANT through this AGREEMENT. The monitoring, auditing, or
investigating may include, but is not limited to, salting databases.

termination of this AGREEMENT and demand for return of all State’s Confidential Information, monetary
damages, or penalties

otherwise exempt information, the AGENCY will notify the CONSULTANT of the request and of the date that
such records will be released to the requester unless the CONSULTANT obtains a court order from a court of
competent jurisdiction enjoining that disclosure. If the CONSULTANT fails to obtain the court order enjoining
disclosure, the AGENCY will release the requested information on the date specified.
The CONSULTANT agrees to notify the sub-consultant of any AGENCY communication regarding disclosure
that may include a sub-consultant’s proprietary and/or confidential information. The CONSULTANT
notification to the sub-consultant will include the date that such records will be released by the AGENCY to the
requester and state that unless the sub-consultant obtains a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction
enjoining that disclosure the AGENCY will release the requested information. If the CONSULTANT and/or
sub-consultant fail to obtain a court order or other judicial relief enjoining the AGENCY by the release date, the
CONSULTANT shall waive and release and shall hold harmless and indemnify the AGENCY from all claims of
actual or alleged damages, liabilities, or costs associated with the AGENCY’s said disclosure of sub-

Exhibit I
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant has alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the
resolution and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some
material damage due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency’s Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s), the first step in the process is for the
Agency’s project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the
potential design error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be
informed and involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer
may appoint an agency staff person other than the project manager, who has not been as directly
involved in the project, to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer’s concurrence, the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include all decisions and descriptions
of work, photographs, records of labor, materials, and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further, the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s). The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant’s alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
•It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,
then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
•It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occurred. If this is the case,
then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlement
with the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced
from the consultant’s agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design
error took place. The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a
summary of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement
affects federal reimbursements. No further action is required.
•There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s). The consultant may
request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal
counsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant, proceed to Step 5.
AGENDA ITEM #6. e)
Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 02/01/2021
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects, all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt to
find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, LP will request assistance from the Attorney General’s Office
for legal interpretation. LP will also identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
•If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs to
reflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA, will identify the amount of federal
participation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
•If mutual agreement is not reached, the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration or
by litigation.

Exhibit J
Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement. The
following procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant’s
claim(s) total a $1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is
suggested that the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the
consultant’s claim(s) that total $1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside of
the agreement’s scope of work, they may be entitled to a claim. The first step that must be completed is
the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency’s project manager.
The consultant’s claim must outline the following:
•Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim
•Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
•Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
•Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated with the
additional work; and
•Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant’s Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1, the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency’s project manager. The project manager will review the consultant’s claim and will met with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the
FHWA is participating in the project’s funding, forward a copy of the consultant’s claim and the
Agency’s recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through
the Region Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will
need to be from agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA (if applicable) agree with the consultant’s claim, send a request memo,
including backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new
agreement for the claim. After the request has been approved, the Agency shall write the supplement
and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the
final payment for the agreement is subject to audit. No further action in needed regarding the claim
procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, proceed to step 3 of the procedures.

Local Agency A&E Professional Services Agreement Number ____________
Negotiated Hourly Rate Consultant Agreement Revised 02/01/2021
Step 3 Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant’s Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant’s claim, the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
•Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
•Agency’s summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim
•Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
•Agency’s summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associate
with the additional work;
•Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the consultant’s
claim(s);
•Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s); and
•Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency
Documentation
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or
disapprove the claim, or portions thereof, which may include getting Agency Council or Commission
approval (as appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal
participation, obtain concurrence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement
of the claim. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency
funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify (in writing) the consultant of their final
decision regarding the consultant’s claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim(s) and
rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant’s Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the
claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING CHAPTER
6‐5 OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A NEW SECTION 6‐5‐4
PROHIBITING THE SALE, DELIVERY, AND MARKETING FOR SALE OF DOGS
SOURCED FROM PUPPY MILLS, AUTHORIZING CORRECTIONS, PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE OF JANUARY 1, 2023.
WHEREAS, the federal Animal Welfare Act (“AWA” 7 U.S.C. Chapter 54) requires, among
other things, the licensing of certain breeders of dogs. These breeders are required to maintain
minimum health, safety, and welfare standards for animals in their care. The AWA is enforced
by the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”); and
WHEREAS, according to the Humane Society of the United States (“HSUS”), inspection
records show that many USDA‐licensed breeders breed dogs or cats in relatively inhumane
conditions. These breeders are commonly referred to as “Puppy Mills.” Documented problems
of Puppy Mills include: over breeding, inbreeding, veterinary care that doesn’t meet the same
standards as other breeders, relatively poor quality of food and shelter, lack of human
socialization, and overcrowded cages. Dogs bred in Puppy Mills are more likely to have behavior
and/or health problems; and
WHEREAS, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(“ASPCA”), fearful behavior and lack of socialization with humans and other animals are
common characteristics of dogs from Puppy Mills and kittens from kitten factories; and
WHEREAS, according to the Coalition Against Misery, hundreds of thousands of puppies
are raised each year in commercial kennels. These puppies generally do not receive the same
standard of care as provided by other breeders; and
WHEREAS, according to HSUS, most pet store puppies come from Puppy Mills; and
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
2
ORDINANCE NO. ________
WHEREAS, HSUS advises that reputable breeders who care about the welfare of their
dogs will welcome visits and inspections of their facilities and want the purchasers of their dogs
to value the quality of care the breeder provides to the parents of that dog being sold; and
WHEREAS, many pet stores that source their puppies from Puppy Mills or brokers that
obtain dogs from Puppy Mills lack personal knowledge about the conditions of the facilities
from which they are sourcing the dogs they sell; and
WHEREAS, a lack of knowledge of the breeding conditions by sellers of dogs increases
the likelihood that the dogs are sourced from Puppy Mills and leaves purchasers with no way of
confirming that their purchase is not supporting a Puppy Mill; and
WHEREAS, there are hundreds of thousands of Puppy Mills around the world that
produce untold millions of puppies annually, while millions of dogs die in U.S. shelters each
year. With rare exceptions, when consumers buy puppies from pet stores that do not have
personal familiarity with their breeders and knowledge of the living conditions of their dogs’
parents, there is a strong likelihood that consumers are supporting the Puppy Mill factory
industry; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the importance of protecting animal welfare and to prevent
and deter the proliferation of the Puppy Mill factory industry, the state of Washington enacted
RCW 16.52.360 prohibiting new retail pet stores from selling dogs in Washington; and
WHEREAS, RCW 16.52.360 does not prevent the sale of dogs sourced from Puppy Mills
at preexisting retail pet stores nor does it prevent sales of such dogs through other means that
support the Puppy Mill factory industry, such as those that advertise online or through
classified ads and deliver to the City of Renton; and
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)

ORDINANCE NO. ________
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the sale of dogs sourced from Puppy Mills should
be prohibited within the City of Renton, regardless of whether such sales are from physical
retail stores or other means for selling and delivering dogs in the City; and
WHEREAS, to prevent unwitting or hidden support for the Puppy Mill industry, the City
Council finds that any person who sells a dog for amounts that may be used to support the
Puppy Mill factory industry should be required to have personal knowledge of the breeding
conditions of the dogs they are selling to assure the dogs they sell are not sourced from a Puppy
Mill; and
WHEREAS, this issue was originally referred to the City’s Planning Commission for
consideration of the adoption of zoning and land use controls to prevent the sale of dogs
sourced from Puppy Mills; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems this ordinance a necessary exercise of its broader
police powers to more broadly protect animal welfare and prevent the sale of dogs sourced
from Puppy Mills throughout the City, regardless of what means and methods are used to
market and deliver such dogs; and
WHEREAS, to allow a time of transition for people who sell, market, or deliver dogs in
Renton to adjust where they source dogs, if necessary, and to comply with the inspection and
affidavit requirements of this ordinance, enforcement of the requirements herein will not
commence until January 1, 2023;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO
