SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On November 18, 2012 the Council adopted a six month moratorium on accepting applications for
medical and/or recreational marijuana business licenses or permits. The purpose of the moratorium is
to allow adequate time to: develop an understanding of Liquor Control Board rules and implications of
those rules, study potential impacts of the new land uses, evaluate and consider how other jurisdictions
are regulating, and determine what is right for Renton. Also, the moratorium allows the City to
adequately provide public participation. Attached is a draft work program for staff to begin the process
of developing Renton’s regulations regarding legalized marijuana.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the legalized marijuana work program.

TO:Don Persson, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
VIA:Denis Law, Mayor
FROM:C. E. “Chip” Vincent, CED Administrator (x6588)
SUBJECT:Compensate Elizabeth Higgins as a Senior Planner at Step E of
Grade a28
ISSUE:
Should the City be authorized to compensate Elizabeth Higgins as a Senior Planner, at
Step E of Grade a28 effective December 16, 2013?
RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that it be authorized by Council to compensate
Elizabeth Higgins as a Senior Planner at Step E of Grade a28 effective December 16,
2013.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Department of Community & Economic Development is requesting that the
individual hired as our new Long Range Senior Planner, Elizabeth Higgins, be hired at
Step E in the Senior Planner salary schedule for the reason identified in the following
narrative:
Ms. Higgins was previously employed by the City of Renton as a Senior Planner from
September 1999 to February 2008. During that time, Ms. Higgins learned the
procedures and policies of the City and the CED Planning Division. She had an excellent
performance record while working in the Division and has demonstrated her ability to
understand our City and department specific policies and procedures. The familiarity
with the policies and procedures of the Planning Division will reduce the time that is
required for her orientation and training.
After leaving the City of Renton, Ms. Higgins worked at the City of Mount Vernon as a
Senior Planner. During the most recent period of time, Ms. Higgins came back part time
to help with the workload in the Planning Division. It was appropriate to offer Ms.
Higgins the Senior Planner position at Step E because of her professional years of
experience, nine of which were in the City of Renton; her broad knowledge of planning,
with specific expertise and understanding of Renton; and finally because she was at Step

E when she previously left the City of Renton. We would like to reinstate her at that
step.
CONCLUSION:
It is our opinion that we will not be able to find an individual more suited by
background, skills, and abilities to fill this position than Elizabeth Higgins. Therefore, we
are recommending that the City Council authorize the Administration to compensate
her at Step E of Grade a28 effective December 16, 2013.

2) For the calendar year 2013, the base wages for all positions in the bargaining unit shall be the same
as the wages in place in 2012.
3) Effective January 1, 2014, base wages shall be increased by 1.5% above the wages in place in 2013.
4) Effective July 1, 2014, base wages shall be increased by 2% above the wages in place in the first half
of the year.
5) Effective January 1, 2015, base wages shall be increased by 2.5% above the wages in place in the
latter half of 2014.
6) Premium pay shall be effective January 1, 2013, as follows:
2189 pay (employees on a 3-3- and a 10-11-11 schedule) increases from 5.24% to 6.25%
Detective premium increases from 3% to 4%; Traffic premium increases from 3% to 4%; Training Officer
premium increases from 3% to 4%; SRO premium increases from 3% to 4%

Police Commissioned Contract
20102013‐20122015
Page 63 of 102
Employees will be unimpeded and free from unreasonable
restraint or interference and free from coercion, discrimination,
or reprisal in lawfully seeking adjudication of their grievance.
Section A18.1. Definitions.
18.1.1. Grievance: Any issue relating to interpretation,
application, or enforcement of any provision contained in
this Agreement.
18.1.2. Issue: Any dispute, complaint, problem, or question

employee relations of any nature or kind whatsoever.

procedural steps and/or time limits should be modified. Any
agreement to modify the procedural steps and/or time limits
shall be in writing. In the event that no provision is made to
modify any procedural steps and/or time limits, and either of the
parties violates them, the grievance/issue shall be considered
settled in favor of the party that is not in default at the time. If
any specified participant in the steps below is absent and thus
unable to timely participate, such step(s) may be completed by
the participant’s designee.
8d. - Human Resources and Risk
Management Department recommends Page 73 of 112

20102013‐20122015
Page 64 of 102
Step 1 The employee(s) and/or Guild Representative shall
submit the grievance/issue in writing to the Division
Commander within twenty (20) calendar days from the
date that the grievant knew or reasonably should have
known of the action precipitating the grievance/issue.
The Division Commander shall notify the Employee(s)
and the Guild Representative in writing of his/her
decision and the reasons therefore within fifteen (15)
calendar days thereafter.
Step 2 If the grievant is not satisfied with the decision
rendered, he/she shall submit the grievance/issue in
writing to the Deputy Chief within fifteen (15) calendar
days. If the grievance is initiated by the Guild, it shall be
initiated at Step (2) of the grievance process within
fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the Guild knew
or reasonably should have known of the action
precipitating the grievance/issue. The Deputy Chief shall
notify the employee(s) and the Guild Representative in
writing of his/her decision and the reasons therefore
within fifteen (15) calendar days thereafter.
Step 3 If the grievant is not satisfied with the decision
rendered, he/she shall submit the grievance/issue in

writing to the Mayor within fifteen (15) calendar days.
The Mayor shall notify the employee(s) and the Guild
Representative in writing of his/her decision and the
reasons therefore within fifteen (15) calendar days
thereafter. Consideration of the issue shall conclude at
this point.
Step 5 If the grievance has not been settled by the Mayor,
either party may submit the matter to arbitration. In
any case, the matter must be referred to arbitration
within ninety (90) days from conclusion of the fifteen
(15) day period of consideration by the Mayor. A neutral
arbitrator will be selected jointly by both parties. If the
parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, they will request
a list of arbitrators from the American Arbitration
Association (AAA) and alternately strike names, if
necessary, to pick an arbitrator. The arbitrator selection
process will not exceed ten (10) days. The total cost of
the proceedings shall be borne equally by both parties.

parties, provided, however, that no authority is granted
to the arbitrator to modify, amend, or delete any terms
of this Agreement.
When an employee or the Guild appeals a grievance to
arbitration, such appeal shall be made in writing and
shall constitute an election of remedies and, to the
extent allowed by law, a waiver of any and all rights by

otherwise contest the appealed matter in any court or
other available forum.
18.3. Election of Remedies. In the case of disciplinary actions
that are appealable to the Civil Service Commission, a non‐

this Agreement alleging that the disciplinary action was not for
just cause. If the employee does so, it shall constitute an election
of remedies and said employee shall be barred from pursuing the
issue in any other forum including, but not limited to, the Civil
Service Commission. Likewise, if an employee files litigation in
any other legal forum, including Civil Service, that employee may
not grieve said discipline and any grievance previously filed shall
be deemed withdrawn and any remedies previously granted shall
be void.
ARTICLE 19 – PERFORMANCE OF DUTY
Section A. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give
an employee the right to strike, and no employee shall strike or
refuse to perform assigned duties to the best of his/her ability. It
is further agreed that no employee shall refuse to cross the
picket line of any other union during his/her scheduled work
shift.

and live‐music events. The officers in turn will be paid by the City for extra‐duty work
at a rate of #37.71 per hour for general security work, and $45.25 per hour for
higher‐risk work.
The language of this amended section shall commence on July 31st, 2009.
