PUBLIC HEARING
Planning: Secure Community Transition Facilities (for Level III Sex Offenders)
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the regulation
of Secure Community Transition Facilities (SCTF) land uses which are facilities for Level III sex offenders.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, described the facilities as small secure residential treatment facilities of three to twelve beds for on-site treatment and transition of sex offenders
to community-based housing. The facilities allow visitation and escorts are required for residents when they leave the facility. She stated that the facilities will house the highest
level of sex offenders, Level III, who are currently incarcerated on McNeil Island. The offenders have completed their required sentences and have been deemed "likely to re-offend."
Ms. Lind explained that because of a federal court ruling, the State is required to create a "less restrictive living alternative" for offenders that have served their sentences but
still require treatment before they can be released. In response to the ruling, the State adopted legislation requiring the siting of SCTF in local communities, and King County must
accept its fair share of offenders which is projected by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to be five to fifteen. The State requires that counties and cities
adopt zoning regulations and establish siting and operational criteria by October 1, 2002, and jurisdictions that fail to enact zoning face preemption by the State for the siting of
the facilities.
Ms. Lind explained that because of a federal court ruling, the State is required to create a "less restrictive living alternative" for offenders that have served their sentences but
still require treatment before they can be released. In response to the ruling, the State adopted legislation requiring the siting of SCTF in local communities, and King County must
accept its fair share of offenders which is projected by the State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to be five to fifteen. The State requires that counties and cities
adopt zoning regulations and establish siting and operational criteria by October 1, 2002, and jurisdictions that fail to enact zoning face preemption by the State for the siting of
the facilities.
Continuing, Ms. Lind explained that preemption means the State may select a site and build the SCTF regardless of local codes and regulations; however, the sites must meet legislative
criteria, and there are a number of potential sites throughout Renton. She stated that the City can choose either preemption or the adoption of zoning regulations, both of which result
in the potential siting of the SCTF. Ms. Lind reviewed the State preemption process and siting requirements, noting that sites cannot be located adjacent to or within the "line of
sight" of "risk potential activities" such as existing schools and recreation centers.
Ms. Lind explained that if the City adopts zoning to control the site location, the City would apply the State criteria to limited locations within the City. She stated that the zoning
regulations that staff proposes would allow the facilities in the IM (Medium Industrial) and IH (Heavy Industrial) zones in the Employment Area Valley land use designation south of
I-405, and would establish Conditional Use Permit review criteria. She noted that the review criteria would address the siting of the facility and not whether the facility would be
sited. In addition, staff is proposing that the facility be limited to six beds, and not be within 330 feet of residential zones or within one mile of existing similar facilities.
Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the reasons why staff is proposing a six-bed facility, and stated that that DSHS has reviewed the City's proposal and recommends reconsideration of the
six bed limit so that there is an option to expand to twelve beds. Stating that the proposed regulations allow for six beds, and an expansion would be considered a new application,
she noted that DSHS considers that restrictive and not in compliance with State legislation. Ms. Lind stated that it is unclear if specifying the six-bed limit would trigger the State
to preempt the City's zoning regulations in their entirety.
Ms. Lind concluded by saying staff recommends that the City enact the zoning regulations. Reviewing the next steps in the process, Ms. Lind indicated that the matter will be discussed
by the Planning & Development Committee on September 19th, and the Committee will recommend action to Council at the September 23rd Council meeting.
Public comment was invited.
Allen Ziegler, DSHS Special Commitment Center Community Programs Manager, PO Box 45322, Olympia, 98504, expressed his concern regarding the maximum number of resident beds allowed in
the zoning regulations proposed by the City. Stating that although DSHS currently does not know how many beds would be built at any one SCTF location, he indicated that an option proposed
to the Governor by DSHS is to site a twelve-bed facility designed as two six-bed buildings on one site, with the construction of the second six-bed building when needed.
Mr. Ziegler stated that DSHS has no objections if the City's intent is to allow a six-bed facility with the possibility of expansion to twelve beds; however, DSHS has objections if
the intent is to limit the size of the facility to no more than six beds. He also stated that DSHS has no objections to the proposed regulations pertaining to the separation of sites
from residential zones and the one-mile separation from other similar facilities. Mr. Ziegler concluded by thanking Council and City staff for their work on this matter.
Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S., #221, Renton, 98055, commented that it is strange that the State may site a twelve-bed facility in Renton, since Renton has only a small portion
of the total population of King County. He agreed with the City's proposal to site the facility in an industrial zone, away from residential areas.
Mayor Tanner pointed out that Renton is not volunteering to site the facility, but is proposing zoning regulations to prevent preemption by the State. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler stated
that facilities will be sited all over the State, and emphasized that at this time, the State is not proposing a facility in Renton.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
For the record, Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked what the process is if the State should decide to challenge or preempt a portion of the City's zoning regulations if the facility
is sited in Renton. Stating that DSHS is still working its way through this process which continues to evolve, Mr. Ziegler emphasized that preemption is not a course DSHS wants to
take and would rather work with the jurisdiction. Mr. Ziegler expressed his doubt that DSHS would preempt the zoning regulations in their entirety rather than just those portions DSHS
disagrees with.
Responding to Mayor Tanner's inquiry regarding whether preemption is a judicial process, Mr. Ziegler said that the State does have the authority for preemption and does not need to go
through the courts.
In response to Council inquiry, Mr. Ziegler stated that DSHS would take into consideration the number of offenders already confined in a local jurisdiction. Regarding the security
of the facilities, he described the measures that will be taken which include: staff training; a mostly one-to-one, staff-to-resident ratio; an escort whenever the resident is out
in the community; and the use of monitoring devices.
Councilman Parker commented that this matter has been studied in depth by the Planning & Development Committee, and pointed out that the federal government is requiring states to site
these facilities and in turn, the State is requiring local jurisdictions to do the same. By enacting zoning regulations, Mr. Parker indicated that the City is accommodating the requirements
while still maintaining some control in the matter.
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler expressed her concerns regarding the Conditional Use Permit process, and the Council's role as an appellate body if the State's authority prevails. She
encouraged citizens to submit comments on this topic prior to the Planning & Development Committee meeting on September 19th, and expressed her appreciation to State Senator Jim Horn
for attending the Council meeting, and to City staff, the Planning Commission, and DSHS representatives for their work on this matter.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington, reviewed a written administrative report summarizing the City’s recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business
plan for 2002 and beyond. Items noted included:
In order to better understand citizen perception of and satisfaction with City services, the City of Renton recently hired Elway Research, a professional survey research firm, to conduct
a public opinion telephone survey of 400 randomly selected Renton households. Results of the survey will allow the City to assess the gap between the importance citizens attach to
a service and their evaluation of the City's performance in that area, and the importance and priority of spending tax dollars on specific services.
The Men's Fall Flag Football League, sponsored by the Recreation Division, began Thursday, September 12th at Cedar River Park. Over 85 men are participating this year.

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Johnson – Renton Beautification Using Landscaping
Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S., Apt. 221, Renton, 98055, detailed the City's need for more flowers, and flowering and colorful trees. He displayed photos of communities in
the eastern part of the United States depicting this type of landscaping, and photos of areas in Renton, such as Williams and Wells Avenues S., which lack trees along the sidewalks.
Mr. Johnson indicated that planting flowers and trees along streets and in the parks would add beauty and attract more people to the City.
Councilman Corman expressed his appreciation for Mr. Johnson's ideas, and commented that the City has been aggressive in this area and has installed hanging flower baskets. He also
pointed out that the City's Neighborhood Grant Program has funds available for beautification projects, and he encouraged neighborhood groups to apply for these funds. Indicating that
he lived on the East Coast most of his life prior to coming to Washington, Mayor Tanner commented on the true natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

OLD BUSINESS
Public Safety Committee
Legal: Dangerous Dog Regulations
Public Safety Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the dangerous dog ordinance. The Committee convened to consider the ordinance revising dangerous dog regulations
on September 9, 2002. The State legislature recently changed State law regarding how government will deal with dangerous dogs. The legislation raised the insurance requirements from
$50,000 to $250,000. It removed references to vicious dogs, and it created a process to have a dog declared dangerous and an appeal process.
While the City currently has a process, and the new law does not require that the City change it, the Committee considered the new legislation and believed it would be in the best interest
of Renton citizens to adopt a similar procedure as the one outlined in the new legislation. The new legislation also removes references to vicious dogs. Current City Code subjects
the owner of a vicious dog to a criminal citation if the dog is at large. The City would keep this regulation but remove the requirement that owners of vicious dogs must obtain liability
insurance.
The Committee recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance that raises the insurance requirements to $250,000, removes certain references to vicious dogs, and changes the current
process regarding declaring a dog dangerous. In the event an owner of a dangerous dog cannot meet the insurance requirements and the requirements to secure the dog, the dog will be
humanely destroyed. MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.*
Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry as to why insurance is not required for vicious dogs, Councilman Clawson stated that the Committee did not want to impose insurance requirements
for dogs that may have propensities to cause danger to other animals or people but have not demonstrated those actions.
*MOTION CARRIED. (See page 360 for ordinance.)

Planning & Development Committee
Planning: Countywide Planning Policies re Urban Separators
Planning and Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding the 2002 Countywide Planning Policy amendment regarding Urban Separators. The Committee met on
September 12, 2002, to consider the proposed designation of Urban Separators in the City of Renton and Renton's Potential Annexation Area. The Committee recommended that the City Council
support designation of 118 acres of R-1 (Residential Single Family; one dwelling unit per acre) zoned land, and wetland areas within the City as part of Countywide Urban Separator in
exchange for removing the Urban Separator Designation from 76 acres located east of Talbot Rd. S. in Renton's Potential Annexation Area. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PARKER,

CAG: 02-120, Springbrook Springs Watershed Property Fencing Installation, F & H Fence Co
Utilities Committee Vice Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report regarding the Springbrook Springs Watershed property fencing installation project bid award and adjustment of funds
for Water Utility capital improvement projects. The Committee recommended concurrence in the recommendation of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department that Council approve the
transfer of $35,000 within the 2002 appropriation of funds for Water Utility capital improvement projects. The additional funding is needed to cover additional property boundary survey
work and fencing installation costs. The transfer will be from the Springbrook Springs land acquisition budget (account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.61.055540) to the Springbrook Springs
fence budget (account no. 421.000500.018.5960.0034.63.055540).
The Committee further recommended that Council award the construction contract for the Springbrook Springs Watershed property fencing installation project to the low bidder, F & H Fence
Co., Inc., in the amount of $54,270.80. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Municipal Court: Passport Services Revenue
Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler distributed information to Councilmembers regarding passport services revenue collected in King County, and noted that the administrative fee collected
