As per Ordinance 5670, adopted in 2012, the Community and Economic Development Administrator is required to report to Council on a provision that allows the fees to be paid closer to the time of sale or occupancy to assist developers by reducing “carrying costs” during construction. Per the RMC 4-1-190 Impact Fees, “the Administrator shall report to the Council on the effect of subsections G6 and 7 of this Section, as they exist or may be amended. The report shall include information on the number of applications for deferral, the length of time of deferral, the amount of fees deferred, the number of fees and amount not paid as required, and any adverse impacts to the ability of the City to construct projects made necessary by new development. The report shall also include recommendations for changes to address deficiencies.” Below is the report on impact fee deferral:  Only one project has utilized impact fee deferral. That project is Altitude Apartments, with 117 multi- family units and 4,000 square feet office.  The fees were deferred 18 months, complying with the provision allowing deferral 18 months from building permit issuance.  $305,515.57 was the amount of the fees.  All three fees, Transportation, Fire, and Parks were deferred and all were paid in full.  There were no adverse impacts to the ability of the City to construct projects made necessary by new development. EXHIBITS: A. Summary STAFF RECOMMENDATION: None. AGENDA ITEM #6. d) IMPACT FEE DEFERRAL Impact Fees: Impact fees were adopted in late 2012, but didn’t increase until 2014. With that increase, the City began phasing in increases by 1/3 each year until the last phase will be effective January 1, 2016. The fees can only be expended to contribute to costs of new physical improvements (fire stations and trucks, park land and improvements, and streets and sidewalks), not administrative, operating, or maintenance costs. Fees are paid one-time for new construction only and are an important financial tool that helps the City keep its infrastructure in pace with new development, while not compounding deficiencies and reducing the City’s overall levels of service. Without impact fees, the City: Would not be able to provide adequate infrastructure to support the demands of new development; or Be forced to raise revenue by raising more generalized taxes. Impact Fee Deferral: There is an option to pay fees closer to the time of sale or occupancy to assist developers by reducing “carrying costs” during construction. The functionality and impacts of this deferral option are to be reviewed by Council. Per the RMC 4-1-190 Impact Fees, “the Administrator shall report to the Council on the effect of subsections G6 and 7 of this Section, as they exist or may be amended. The report shall include information on the number of applications for deferral, the length of time of deferral, the amount of fees deferred, the number of fees and amount not paid as required, and any adverse impacts to the ability of the City to construct projects made necessary by new development. The report shall also include recommendations for changes to address deficiencies identified in the report.” Report on Deferred Fees Only one project has utilized impact fee deferral. That project is Altitude Apartments, with 117 multi-family units and 4,000 square feet office. The fees were deferred 18 months, complying with the provision allowing deferral 18 months from building permit issuance. $305,515.57 was the amount of the fees. All three fees, Transportation, Fire, and Parks were deferred and all were paid in full. There were no adverse impacts to the ability of the City to construct projects made necessary by new development. Staff has no recommendations for changes to address deficiencies identified in the report.

RECOMMENDATION: Execute Addendum 5 to CAG-13-105 with Coast & Harbor Engineering for additional mitigation requirements including permitting support, light study analysis, preparation of technical reports and project management needed to implement the Cedar River Gravel Removal Project in the amount of $286,211.72. BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Cedar River Gravel Removal Project is to perform maintenance dredging of up to 150,000 cubic yards of gravel from the mouth of the Cedar River (river mile 0) to the Williams Street Bridge (river mile 1.25) in order to reduce flood risks to private, public and commercial properties in the lower Cedar River. This project includes removing river sediments settled in the channel approximately 4 feet deep; repairing unstable banks developed since the last dredging; replanting near the ordinary high water line for disturbed areas; exporting sediments offsite and removing invasive vegetation in areas adjacent to the levee and floodwall. The project will also include a mitigation element to be determined during the permitting process. This project is part of the City’s maintenance obligations to maintain the flood protection benefits as required by the Project Cooperation Agreement for the United AGENDA ITEM #6. e) Mr. Prince, Council President Page 2 of 3 September 18, 2015 H:\File Sys\SWP - Surface Water Projects\SWP-27 - Surface Water Projects (CIP)\27-3634 Cedar River Maintenance Dredge\1100 DESIGN CONTRACT\Addendum 5\2015-09-11_CHE_Issue_Paper.doc\HCBtp States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project (205 Project). The 205 Project is a federally authorized project originally designed, permitted and constructed by the USACE Seattle District with the City of Renton as the local project sponsor that included initial dredging of the lower 1.25 miles of the Cedar River, construction of levees and floodwalls and mitigation. The initial dredging was completed in 1998 and the levees and floodwall construction were completed in 2000. Due to the annual sediment accumulation in the 205 Project reach, the lower Cedar River is approaching the maximum allowable bed elevation that represents the highest allowable river bed elevation prior to dredging as indicated in the 205 Project Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual. Compliance with the O&M Manual is part of the terms and conditions of the executed Project Cooperation Agreement dated May 9, 1998, between USACE and the City. The original consultant agreement with Coast & Harbor Engineering was developed prior to fully understanding the extent of compensatory mitigation that may be required for the Cedar River Gravel Removal Project. The mitigation completed during the original Cedar River Section 205 Flood Hazard Reduction Project addressed impacts from the project including cyclical maintenance dredging, so additional mitigation requirements were not expected. Through the public notice during the permitting process, additional mitigation for the project was requested by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Additional mitigation required to be provided for project construction included:  The completion of a lighting study and implementation of the recommendations included in the report.  Improvements to the Elliot Channel to improve hydraulic connectivity between the Elliot Channel and the main channel.  Two continuous years of sediment survey monitoring.  Continue to complete spawner reports for the spawning channels. This addendum also includes budget for additional general regulatory permitting support and updates to the mitigation plan submitted to the regulatory agencies in 2014. Additional tasks include stakeholder meetings with regulatory agencies and project management. Deliverable reports to be provided by the consultant include:  Final mitigation plan.  Sediment survey report.  Spawning activity report in the Elliot Channel and Spawning Replacement Side Channel.  Light study analysis and report of recommendations.  Elliot Spawning Channel Intake Design.  Scour monitoring report. AGENDA ITEM #6. e) Mr. Prince, Council President Page 3 of 3 September 18, 2015 H:\File Sys\SWP - Surface Water Projects\SWP-27 - Surface Water Projects (CIP)\27-3634 Cedar River Maintenance Dredge\1100 DESIGN CONTRACT\Addendum 5\2015-09-11_CHE_Issue_Paper.doc\HCBtp This addendum will provide the necessary engineering, planning, and environmental permitting assistance necessary to implement the maintenance dredging project. Expected challenges for this project include: obtaining numerous state and federal permits with permitting of the maintenance dredging requiring consideration of mitigation of impacts to endangered species not originally mitigated for within the original 205 Project Environmental Impact Statement; constructing within short fisheries allowable timelines and working in close proximity to commercial, residential, airport and park properties. The Cedar River Gravel Removal Project (427.475193) including design, project management, and construction costs will be 100% funded by the King County Flood Control District’s Capital Improvement Project budget ($4,267,939) by our agreement CAG 13-009 for the project. The remaining project budget is for City project management and construction costs. The King County Flood Control District staff has reviewed and supports this additional work and is aware that additional funding might be needed for construction and mitigation costs. The Surface Water Utility will work with the KCFCD to update the overall project cost estimate and determine if any future budget adjustment is needed, prior to construction. CONCLUSION: The Cedar River Gravel Removal Project will maintain flood protection benefits to private, pubic and commercial properties in the lower Cedar River. The Surface Water Utility recommends the execution of Addendum 5 to CAG-13-105 with Coast & Harbor Engineering for the additional mitigation requirements of the Cedar River Gravel Removal Project. cc:
