i. The city is required to plan under RCW 36.70A.040; and
ii. The city is required to take action on or before June 30, 2024, to review and, if needed,
revise its comprehensive plan and development regulations pursuant to RCW
36.70A.130(5)(a).
(b) Grant recipients must use grant funding for costs to conduct at least three of the following
activities:
i. Analyzing comprehensive plan policies and municipal code to determine the extent of
amendments required to meet the goal of authorizing middle housing types on at least 30
percent of lots currently zoned as single family residential;
ii. Preparing informational material for the public;
iii. Conducting outreach, including with the assistance of community-based organizations, to
inform and solicit feedback from a representative group of renters and owner-occupied
households in residential neighborhoods, and from for-profit and nonprofit residential
developers;
iv. Drafting proposed amendments to zoning ordinances for consideration by the city
planning commission and city council;
v. Holding city planning commission public hearings;
vi. Publicizing and presenting the city planning commission's recommendations to the city
council; and
vii. Holding city council public hearings on the planning commission's recommendations.
(c) Before updating their zoning ordinances, a city must use a racial equity analysis and establish
antidisplacement policies as required under RCW 36.70A.070(2)(e) through (h) to ensure there will
be no net displacement of very low, low, or moderate-income households, as defined in RCW
43.63A.510, or individuals from racial, ethnic, and religious communities which have been subject
to discriminatory housing policies in the past.
(d) Commerce will prioritize applicants who:
i. Aim to authorize middle housing types in the greatest proportion of zones; and
ii. Subcontract with multiple community-based organizations that represent different
vulnerable populations in overburdened communities, as defined in RCW 70A.02.010,
that have traditionally been disparately impacted by planning and zoning policies and
practices, to engage in eligible activities as described in (b) of this subsection.
Commerce will be monitoring the contracts biannually to review progress in meeting milestones,
deliverables and invoicing.

RE: Middle Housing Program Grant
Greetings:
I am pleased to inform you that the City of Renton has been awarded $100,000 in grant funds from the
Middle Housing Grant Program. The 2022 Legislature created this grant program to support the adoption of
middle housing types in the Puget Sound region, along with conducting a racial equity analysis and
establishing antidisplacement policies. This funding will support these required components of the update to
your housing element. Commerce will also have technical assistance staff that can help with various tasks.
This grant will be administered by the Washington Department of Commerce, Growth Management Services
(GMS) unit. Before we disburse the funds, a contract with an agreed upon scope of work and budget will
need to be executed between your organization and the Department of Commerce. Funds may be
retroactively applied to project costs related to your grant scope of work, beginning July 1, 2022, the date the
funding became available. You should also have received funding to support the periodic update of your
comprehensive plan and development regulations in a separate award.
Anne Fritzel, our GMS housing programs manager, or another staff member will be in touch with you to
develop the contract and answer any questions you may have. Anne can be reached at
anne.fritzel@commerce.wa.gov or 360-259-5216.

ISSUE:
Should City Council adopt a resolution to approve the 2023 South King Housing and
Homelessness Partners 2023 Work Plan and Operating Budget?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution to approve the 2023 South King Housing
and Homelessness Partners 2023 Work Plan and Operating Budget.
SUMMARY:
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an
interlocal agreement to work together and share resources to increase the available
options for South King County residents to access affordable housing and preserve the
existing affordable housing stock. In accordance with the interlocal agreement, the
annual SKHHP work plan and budget must be approved by the legislative body of each
member jurisdiction in addition to the SKHHP Executive Board. The draft 2023 SKHHP
work plan and budget priorities were reviewed by the Renton City Council Planning and
Development Committee at the June 27, 2022 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners was established through an
interlocal agreement executed by the City on May 24, 2019. In accordance with the
interlocal agreement the annual SKHHP work plan and budget must be approved by the
legislative body of each member jurisdiction in addition to the SKHHP Executive Board.
AGENDA ITEM #7. d)
Ryan McIrvin, Council President
Page 2 of 3
November 2, 2022
Each SKHHP jurisdiction had an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the work
plan and budget prior to Executive Board adoption. The 2023 draft SKHHP work plan
and budget priorities were reviewed by the Council Planning and Development
Committee at the June 27, 2022 meeting. The feedback from member jurisdictions was
used to draft the 2023 SKHHP work plan and budget adopted by the SKHHP Executive
Board on August 19, 2022.
The SKHHP 2023 work plan and budget operationalizes the SKHHP mission and goals and
provides an itemization of all categories of budgeted expenses and an itemization of
each party’s contribution, including in-kind services.
Work Plan
The 2023 work plan, developed in consultation with each member jurisdiction, staff
work group, and Advisory Board, builds upon work done in previous years to establish a
housing capital fund through pooled public resources, increase philanthropic and
corporate investment through the creation of a SKHHP fundraising branch, and establish
a community advisory board to help ground decision-making in community needs and
interests.
The 2023 work plan focuses on building the long-term sustainability of the SKHHP
Housing Capital Fund, working with partner jurisdictions to develop new policies and
programs to accelerate access to affordable housing, representing South King County at
all relevant decision-making tables, and providing outreach, education, and advocacy
that helps to advance South King County housing needs and opportunities.
Operating Budget
The Interlocal Agreement included an adopted budget that was established before staff
was hired and before the City of Auburn became the administering agency. As such, the
adopted budget for 2019 and 2020 was a projection of operating costs that did not
cover the full SKHHP operating costs. Maintaining jurisdictions’ original contributions in
2021 was made possible by personnel cost savings from 2019 and 2020. This decision
intentionally spent down some of the cost savings from the previous two years to cover
operating costs and deferred consideration of increasing member contributions to the
2022 operating budget.
In order to work toward a balanced budget over the course of the next three years, the
2022 SKHHP operating budget included the first incremental increase in member
contributions since SKHHP’s inception. Through a combination of incremental member
jurisdiction contributions and spending down carryover funds, the 2023 SKHHP
operating budget continues to reach a balanced operating budget by 2025. The SKHHP
budget contributions are based on population size, as shown in the attachment to the
resolution, Renton’s 2023 SKHHP contribution is $44,965.

Ryan McIrvin, Council President

November 2, 2022
If there are any additional contributions to SKHHP’s operating budget from sources such
as additional partners becoming part of SKHHP, or contributions or donations from
outside sources, each SKHHP partner contribution could be reduced through an
amended budget.
CONCLUSION:
Consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP 2023 work plan and budget
must be approved by each legislative body and adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board.
The 2023 SKHHP work plan and budget operationalize the agreed upon priorities of the
SKHHP Executive Board by acting cooperatively to formulate housing policies and
strategies that address housing stability, foster efforts to preserve and provide
affordable housing by combining public funding and private-sector resources, and
support the implementation of other local policies and programs relating to affordable
housing.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Finance Department has recognized the need to update Renton Municipal Code chapter 3 -4-3 to include
approval of adjustments for bad debt as the responsibility of the Finance Administrator consistent with
applicable accounting standards. Annually, customer accounts due to the city are reviewed and adjusted for
any accounts that are considered uncollectible after collection attempts have been unsuccessful or due to the
inability to locate the debtor. The current code is silent on the ability to properly a djust accounts for amounts

SUBJECT:Amendment to Renton Municipal Code 3-4-3.F
ISSUE
The finance administrator responsibilities outlined in RMC 3-4-3 need to be expanded to
include the function of accounting for allowance of bad debt.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends council authorize the amendment of RMC 3-4-3.F to include approval
of adjustments for bad debt as a responsibility of the finance administrator, consistent
with applicable accounting standards.
BACKGROUND
The city’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting which
includes recognizing revenue when the delivery of goods or services occurs, not when
cash changes hands. Until cash changes hands, these amounts due to the city are
recorded as customer accounts receivable in the city’s financial statements. At times,
these receivables do not get paid and an adjustment to remove the uncollectible
receivable from the financial statement is required.
Annually, customer accounts due to the city are reviewed and adjusted for any accounts
that are considered uncollectible after collection attempts have been unsuccessful or
due to the inability to locate the debtor. The current code is silent on the ability to
properly adjust accounts for amounts due that are deemed uncollectible, per
accounting standards.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends council authorize the amendment of RMC 3-4-3.F to include approval
of adjustments for bad debt as a responsibility of the finance administrator, consistent

SUBJECT/TITLE: Language translation - AFSCME MOU
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources / Risk Management Department
STAFF CONTACT: Ellen Bradley-Mak, Administrator
EXT.: X7657
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
There is no budgeted impact to this change. Departments intend to use existing budgeted resources to
provide this monetary benefit.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City and the AFSCME Union hold a joint interest in recognizing the language translation services that staff directly
provide to our residents and guests to help them connect to and understand City programs and operations. This topic
was not discussed at the last negotiations table that resulted in the labor contract governing wages, hours and working
conditions for the period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024. Therefore, the attached Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) would amend the contract and aims to provide a financial benefit to those staff who are currently
providing language translation services as part of their work duties. The MOU would also give the parties an opportunity
to measure the frequency of staff providing these services, with the goal of providing a more structured program in the
future. If approved by Council, the attached MOU would become effective as of the pay period November 16-30, 2022.
EXHIBITS:
AFSCME MOU: Written and Verbal Translation Benefits
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the MOU between the parties, City of Renton and AFSCME Local 2170 Washington State Council of County and
City Employees, and authorize the parties to sign.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
By and between
The City of Renton
And
Washington State Council of County and City Employees,
AFSCME, AFL-CIO, Local #2170
RE: verbal and/or written language translation benefit
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) memorializes the agreements reached between the
City of Renton (“City”) and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees,
Local 2170 (“AFSCME” or “Union”) regarding employees providing translation services. In
accordance with the provisions set forth in RCW 41.56 and WAC 391.08, the parties to the
Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) agree to the following:
Employees in AFSCME represented positions providing verbal or written translation services as
part of their job duties will receive a flat $100 amount added to their timesheet for each pay
period they provide translation services. This amount is taxable. It is understood that some
translations services are routine whereas others are occasional, and therefore the timecode of
“Translations Services” will be used to indicate when an employee has provided translations
services in a pay period as part of their job responsibilities. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to
directly review and verify all instances of translation services involving the use of this payment.
Subject to Council review and approval, this payment will first be available starting the
November 16-30, 2022 pay period.
The parties agree that this payment will expire December 31, 2023 in order to give the parties a
chance to evaluate the degree to which translation services are being provided by staff. By
signature below, the parties agree to the provisions of this MOU. Except as set forth above, the
remaining terms and conditions of the parties’ CBA remain in full force and effect.
Signed this _______________ day of _______________________, 20__ at Renton, Washington.

Stop Loss Services
In compensation for the work HMA does to support stop loss carriers, HMA requires a payment either directly from our
preferred stop loss carrier partner, Managing General Underwriter (MGU), General Agent (GA), Captive or client.
Preferred stop loss carriers pay an administrative allowance to HMA for the support and services as part of the override
agreements. If you are using a non-preferred carrier, MGU, GA or Captive there will be a stop loss service support fee
of 3% of stop loss premiums assessed. The stop loss service support fee will be reflected on the invoice as a PEPM.

Please note, if the client changes stop loss carriers or desires to implement a third party service during the course
of this renewal term which is not currently included in our preferred carrier list, notification is required to HMA.
HMA reserves the right to decline to work with non-preferred stop loss carriers, MGU’s, GA’s or Captives. If we
agree to administer a plan with a stop loss carrier, MGU, GA or Captive that is not preferred, we will charge an
interface fee of 3.0% of stop loss premium and will ask for a signed waiver of liability from the group. For carriers
where we are not an approved benefit administrator, HMA reserves the right to decline to proceed with the
approval process at our discretion.
The interface fee for non-preferred carriers is calculated based on the final stop loss renewal premium rates and
enrollment for the last month of the prior contract period.
The rates are calculated as follows:
[.03 x (single Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x single enrollment) + (family Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x family

Agreement prior to completion and execution of a restated SPD, HMA shall perform
claims processing in accordance with the Plan Sponsor’s existing SPD. In no event
will HMA process any claims on a “run-in” basis. Nor will claims be processed
utilizing a prior carrier/administrator’s network discounts. All claims will be
adjudicated in accordance with the terms of the network(s) accessed through
HMA. The Plan Sponsor hereby acknowledges that any claims which require
reprocessing as a result of changes between the prior SPD or the Plan Sponsor’s
instructions and the restated executed SPD will be subject to an additional
reprocessing fee at HMA’s discretion. The Plan Sponsor further acknowledges that
claims which are paid pursuant to the benefits and exclusions described within the
AGENDA ITEM #7. k)
HMA TPA Agreement Page 5 4/22
prior SPD or the Plan Sponsor’s instructions, may be determined to be ineligible
for reimbursement pursuant to any excess loss policy.
(e) Transparency Regulation Support.
To the extent the Plan is obligated under 26 CFR Part 54 [TD 9929], 29 CFR Part
2590, and 45 CFR Parts 147 and 158 (the “Transparency Regulations”) to make
filings or obtain approval from any state or other jurisdictional governing agenc y,
HMA will notify and assist the Plan regarding such filings. Subject to the limitation
described below, HMA agrees to provide, on behalf of the Plan, all publications of
information and disclosures (collectively, “the Disclosures”) necessitated by the
price transparency requirements set forth in the Transparency Regulations and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 Divisions BB and EE, amending the Public
Health Service Act, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (“CAA Transparency Provisions”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, HMA shall have no obligation to make the Disclosures with respect to
benefits or services for which HMA is not supporting the Plan (i.e. dialysis carve -
outs and Pharmacy services, except those covered under an HMA partner
Pharmacy Benefit Manager Contract). HMA shall exercise in its sole discretion in
interpreting the applicable federal standards for the Disclosures on behalf of the
Plan pursuant to the Transparency Regulations and CAA Transparency Provisions.
Under no circumstances shall HMA be liable for the direct or indirect payment of
Plan benefits, regardless of fault.
(f) HB 1065 & No Surprises Act/IDR Balance Billing Support.
If the Plan files directly with the State to Opt-in to the HB 1065 program, HMA
shall provide standard claim processing services to those qualifying claims. In
addition, HMA shall adjust processing to apply pricing as required by 1065 and No
Surprises Act regulations and to assist the Plan with good-faith negotiation and
arbitration case processing. HMA will apply the outcome of any arbitrator’s
decision on the Plan’s behalf. The Plan retains all funding obligations for 1065
and No Surprises Act claims including all ancillary fees and expenses, including but
limited to any negotiation support fees charged by HMA and/or its vendor partner .
HMA makes no representations implied or otherwise around the Plan’s Stop Loss
Carrier’s independent decision to cover the claim amounts included in an award
issued by an arbitrator. The Plan should take steps to ensure that their Stop Loss
Partner will cover any arbitration award issued in favor of a provider.
(g) Stop Loss administration support.
Provide Stop Loss administration support to the Plan Sponsor. HMA may accept
pre-funding checks from Plan Sponsor’s Stop Loss carrier on behalf of the Plan
Sponsor, however such acceptance shall not deem HMA a Plan Fiduciary. Plan
Sponsor/Administrator retains all fiduciary responsibility associated with the Plan.
HMA shall submit reimbursement requests to Plan Sponsor’s stop loss carrier on
behalf of Plan Sponsor, however, submission for reimbursement does not
guarantee payment under the stop loss policy, and HMA bears no responsibility for
the actions of any stop loss carrier. HMA’s support will include, to the extent
requested by the Plan Sponsor, facilitating claim submission for prescription drug
claims to the Plan’s stop loss carrier. Plan Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that
timing of prescription claims including but not limited to refills and grace periods,
invoicing of claims, obtainment of any prior authorizations, benefit alignment with
AGENDA ITEM #7. k)
HMA TPA Agreement Page 6 4/22
SPD language and adherence with any substantiation requirements as
administered by the PBM that might be required in order for such prescription
claims to be eligible for coverage under the applicable stop loss policy are all
factors outside of the control of HMA. Plan Sponsor acknowledges that HMA shall
not be liable for any prescription related coverage determination made by the Stop
Loss Carrier. Furthermore, the Plan Sponsor is responsible for providing approved
Summary Plan Documents to the Stop Loss Carrier and acknowledges that delays
in timely approval and submission of Summary Plan Description(s) may result in
claim reimbursements being held or denied. Plan Sponsor acknowledges that out
of Plan exceptions made by the Plan Administrator may not be covered by stop
loss without the express advance written consent of the stop loss carrier. All out
of Plan exceptions are made at the Plan’s sole risk and liability.
(h) Plan Sponsor Vendor Payment Administration Support.
One of the ministerial functions offered by HMA on behalf of the Plan Sponsor
may be the payment of other vendors who have been selected by the Plan
Sponsor and who are providing contracted services to the Plan Sponsor’s
benefits plan (aka consolidated billing). Timely payment of these vendors is
solely contingent upon the Plan Sponsor providing timely funding as stipulated in
Section 5(a) of this Agreement. HMA does not insure nor underwrite any liability
of the Plan Sponsor or the Plan and shall have no financial risk or liability with
respect to the provision of, or payment for, any benefits under the Plan, including
but not limited to payments to outside vendors on behalf of the Plan Sponsor.
(i) HMA Vendor Partners. The work to be performed by HMA under this Agreement
may, at its discretion, be performed directly by it or wholly or in part through a
subsidiary or affiliate of HMA or under an agreement with an organization, agent,
advisor, or other person of its choosing. HMA may delegate certain portions of its
work under this Agreement to any other entity. As the ultimate beneficiary of any
such agreement, the Plan Sponsor by its execution of this Agreement
acknowledges that it will be ultimately responsible for and bound to the payment
terms of HMA's contract with the vendor for any costs associated with such
services which cannot be incorporated into HMA’s fees or which otherwis e fall
outside the scope of this Agreement. HMA is willing to facilitate certain Plan
functions on behalf of Plan Sponsor with selected vendor partners of Plan Sponsor

provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. To the extent that the Plan
Sponsor requests access to and is granted access to information that is Proprietary
and Confidential to HMA and/or one of its Vendors, such as by way of example
Provider Network Agreements or negotiated rates, the Plan Sponsor agrees to
maintain such data or information in strict confidence and shall not use or disclose
any Confidential Information with anyone who is not bound by a non-disclosure
Agreement that is as protective as the Plan Sponsor would use for its own
proprietary and confidential information. Each party agrees that unauthorized
disclosure of Proprietary and Confidential Information of the other party may cause
such other party irreparable harm and that any breach or threatened breach of
this provision by either party will entitle the other party to seek injunctive relief,
without the need of posting a bond, prohibiting the break, in addition to any other
legal or equitable remedies available to it, which remedies will not be deemed
exclusive, but will be cumulative.
(s) Systems Property of HMA. To perform its duties hereunder, HMA shall use
certain computer systems (including, but not limited to, software) and other
systems and property. Such systems and property are proprietary and the
exclusive and confidential property of HMA. The hiring of HMA to provide services
under this Agreement gives neither Plan Sponsor nor the Plan any right to such
systems, or to the inspection thereof. HMA reserves the right to change its
systems and other technology at any time and from time to time, without notice
or obligation to Plan Sponsor or the Plan. Confidential system property of HMA is
not accessible to the Plan Sponsor or Plan Administrator except as provided in
Section 12 of this Agreement.
(t) Marketing/Advertising Authorization. By executing this Agreement, Plan
Sponsor consents to HMA’s use of the Plan Sponsor’s company name, logos,
trademarks, and identifying information in marketing materials during the period

SUBJECT/TITLE: Bronson Way Bridge – Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project CAG-22-
255 Amendment No. 1 with TranTech Engineering, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Transportation (Aviation) Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works Transportation Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: Derek Akesson, Project Manager
EXT.: 7337
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The expenditure required for CAG-22-255 Amendment No. 1 is $225,100. The original contract amount was
$34,900 for project startup. The original contract amount combined with Amendment No. 1 results in a total
contract amount of $260,000 for Construction Management (CM) services.
With approval of the third quarter budget adjustment, an additional $452,000 in City funds will be allocated to
the project, bringing the total construction phase funding to $3,097,000 and total project funding to
$3,452,000.
Approximately, $172,000 of construction phase funding is encumbered for engineering and environmental
support during construction. Approximately, $15,000 in CN phase funding is estimated for City expenses and
$2,000 for WSDOT expenses. Approximately, $278,000 in CN phase funding is allocated for CM services for all
construction phases. The total encumbered/estimated for CN phase administration and construction support
is $467,000.
The construction contract was awarded to Combined Construction, Inc. on July 11, 2022, in the amount of
$2,505,667. The construction contract was fully executed on July 22, 2022. This contract amount plus
$467,000 for CN phase administration and construction support yields a total of $2,972,667. The difference
between this amount and $3,097,000 in CN phase funding yields $124,333 remaining for use as contingency
for the construction contract. Therefore, there is sufficient project funding for this CM contract amendment.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
TranTech Engineering, Inc. was selected for construction management services for the Bronson Way Bridge –
Seismic Retrofit and Painting Project (TIP No. 15). The purpose of this amendment is to fully fund CM services
for the duration of construction of th e project.
Incurred expenses from this agreement will be paid out of the Bronson Way Bridge – Seismic Retrofit and
Painting Project (TIP No. 15, account number 317.123000.015.595.50.63.002).
TranTech Engineering, LLC was selected pursuant to Policy & Procedure Number 250-02 utilizing the consultant
roster operated and maintained by the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC). After reviewing and
scoring Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) posted on MRSC, three (3) consultants were selected for interviews.
One (1) consultant declined to interview due to their existing workload. Therefore, two (2) consultants were
AGENDA ITEM #7. n)
interviewed. Upon completion of the interviews, each team was scored by the City’s selection team. All three
(3) members of the City’s selection team agreed that TranTech Engineering demonstrated more extensive
experience providing construction management services for local agencies on bridge projects that involve
painting and/or seismic retrofits.

flood level will be rated as one foot (1') below). Flood proofing the building an
additional foot will reduce insurance premiums.
iv. Recreational Vehicles: Recreational vehicles placed on sites
within Zones A1-30, AH, and AE on the community’s Flood Insurance Rate Map
FIRM not including recreational vehicle storage lots shall either:
(a) Be on the site for fewer than one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days;
(b) Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, on its wheels or
jacking system, attached to the site only by quick disconnect type utilities and
security devices, and have no permanently attached additions; or
(c) Meet the requirements of this subsection G and the
elevation and anchoring requirements for manufactured homes.
e. Additional Restrictions within Floodways: Floodways, defined in
RMC 4-11-060, are located within flood hazard areas established in subsection D
of this Section. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the
velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion
potential, the following provisions apply:
i. Increase in Flood Levels Prohibited: Encroachments, including
fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development are
AGENDA ITEM # 9. a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

prohibited unless certification by a registered professional engineer demonstrates
through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard
engineering practice that:
(a) Encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels
during the occurrence of the base flood discharge; and
(b) There are no adverse impacts to the subject property or
abutting or adjacent properties; and
(c) There are no higher flood elevations upstream; and
(d) The impact due to floodway encroachment shall be analyzed
using future land use condition flows.
ii. Residential Construction in Floodways: Construction or
reconstruction of residential structures is prohibited within designated floodways,
except for:
(a) Repairs, reconstruction, or improvements to a structure
which do not increase the ground floor area; and
(b) Repairs, reconstruction or improvements to a structure, the
cost of which does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the
structure either: (1) before the repair, reconstruction, or improvement is started;
or (2) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage
occurred. Work done on structures to comply with existing health, sanitary, or
safety codes or to structures identified as historic places may be excluded in the
fifty percent (50%).

iii. Compliance Requirements: If this subsection G is satisfied, all
new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable
flood hazard areas reduction provisions of this Section.
iv. Bridges Crossing Floodways: In mapped or unmapped flood
hazard areas, future flow conditions shall be considered for proposed bridge
proposals crossing floodways.
v. Additional Provisions within AO Zones: Shallow flooding areas
appear on FIRMs as AO zones with depth designations. The base flood depths in
these zones range from one to three feet (1' to 3') above ground where a clearly
defined channel does not exist, or where the path of flooding is unpredictable and
where velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is usually characterized as sheet
flow. In addition to other provisions in this code, the following additional
provisions also apply in AO zones:
(a) New construction and substantial improvements of
residential structures and manufactured homes within AO zones shall have the
lowest floor (including basement and mechanical equipment) elevated above the
highest adjacent grade to the structure, one foot (1') or more above the depth
number specified in feet on the community’s FIRM (at least two feet (2') above
the highest adjacent grade to the structure if no depth number is specified).
(b) New construction and substantial improvements of
nonresidential structures within AO zones shall either:
AGENDA ITEM # 9. a)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
11
(1) Have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated
above the highest adjacent grade of the building site, one foot (1') or more above
the depth number specified on the FIRM (at least two feet (2') if no depth number
is specified); or
(2) Together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be
completely flood proofed to or above that level described in G4bv(b)(1) of this
section so that any space below that level is watertight with walls substantially
impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the
capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of
buoyancy. If this method is used, compliance shall be certified by a registered
professional engineer, or architect as described in subsection G4diii(b)(3) of this
Section.
(c) Require adequate drainage paths around structures on
slopes to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures.
(d) Recreational vehicles placed on sites within AO zones on the
community’s FIRM either:
(1) Be on the site for fewer than one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days, or
(2) Be fully licensed and ready for highway use, on its
wheels or jacking system, is attached to the site only by quick disconnect type
utilities and security devices, and has no permanently attached additions; or
AGENDA ITEM # 9. a)

(3) Meet the requirements of subsections G4ev(a) and (b)
of this Section and the anchoring requirements for manufactured homes
(subsection G4dii of this Section).
vi. AE and A1-30 Zones with Base Flood Elevations but No
Floodways: In areas with BFEs (when a regulatory floodway has not been
designated), no new construction, substantial improvements, or other
development (including fill) shall be permitted within zones A1-30 and AE on the
community’s FIRM, unless it is demonstrated that the cumulative effect of the
proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated
development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more
than one foot (1') at any point within the community.
SECTION III. Upon approval of the City Attorney, the City Clerk is authorized to direct
