SPECIAL
PRESENTATIONS
Community Event: Farmers
Market Wrap-Up
Jim Medzegian, President of the Piazza Renton volunteer organization and
Farmers Market Committee member, introduced Gene Sens, 2004 Farmers
Market Manager, who gave a briefing on the Farmers Market held on Tuesdays,
from June 15th to September 14th, at the Piazza (233 Burnett Ave. S.).
Mr. Sens expressed his appreciation to the many people and groups that
provided assistance and support for the Farmers Market, including local
businesses and the market vendors. He stated that the market averaged 50
vendor booths every Tuesday that sold items such as produce, baked goods,
flowers, and shellfish. Additionally, activities such as chef demonstrations, live
music, and a children's booth were offered.
Continuing, Mr. Sens reported that 2,000 to 3,600 patrons visited each Tuesday,
vendors sold $9,000 to $13,000 worth of items each market day, and volunteers
contributed over 3,000 hours this season. Pointing out that one of the Farmers
Market's goals is to bring more people to the downtown area, he stated that the
market has had a positive impact on downtown businesses. In conclusion, Mr.
Sens presented certificates of appreciation to the boy scout volunteers who
assisted with the Farmers Market.
Councilwoman Nelson detailed the history of the Renton Farmers Market, and
emphasized that the success of the market is due to the dedication of many
organizations and volunteers.
King County: Primary Election
Ballot Change
Bill Huennekens, King County Superintendent of Elections, gave a briefing on
the change to the primary election ballot. He explained that the State of
Washington no longer has a blanket primary, and a party preference selection is
now required when voting for candidates running for partisan offices. He
displayed an example of the primary election ballot, and explained that voters
must choose a party, vote for candidates within that party, and complete the
ballot by voting in the nonpartisan contests and ballot measures.
Responding to Mayor and Councilmember questions, Mr. Huennekens stated
that only the votes cast for the party selected by the voter will be counted if the
voter mistakenly selects candidates outside the party preference. He assured
that the voter's party preference choice is completely private. In regards to the
September 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 298
reason for the change to the primary election ballot, Mr. Huennekens explained
that it was the result of lawsuits filed by the various political parties that argued
that the blanket primary violated their right of affiliation. Federal courts found
Washington's blanket primary to be unconstitutional; thus, a new primary law
was enacted that requires voters to indicate their party preference on the election
ballot.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Police: 2004 Local Law
Enforcement Block Grant
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the 2004 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
(LLEBG).
Police Sergeant Mark Day reported that Renton has been pre-approved for a
grant in the amount of $18,478, and Renton is required to match approximately
10%, or $2,053. He stated that LLEBG funds have been used to fund the City's
Domestic Violence Victim Advocacy program since 1996, and the Renton
Domestic Violence Task Force again recommends using the funds for this
purpose.
Sergeant Day introduced Tina Harris, Domestic Violence Court Advocate, who
stated that the program has served approximately 560 victims. She explained
that the victims need food, shelter, transportation, interpreter services, safety
planning, assistance in court, and assistance and referrals to community-based
programs. Ms. Harris stressed the importance of the Domestic Violence Victim
Advocacy program, and urged its continued support.
In response to Councilman Law's inquiry, Sergeant Day stated that the LLEBG
funds have decreased over the years, while the calls for assistance have
increased. He pointed out that domestic-related calls for service represent
approximately one-third of the actual number of calls that require further
investigation.
Council President Persson noted that the General Fund picks up the rest of the
program cost, and he asked what the percentage increase of domestic-related
calls were from 2003 to 2004. Sergeant Day reported that there was a seven
percent increase in the reporting of domestic-related cases.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY NELSON,
SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL APPROVE THE
USE OF LLEBG FUNDS FOR THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM
ADVOCACY PROGRAM. CARRIED.
Human Services: 2005 CDBG
& 2005/2006 General Fund
Allocations
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the 2005 funding recommendations for the allocation
of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and the General
Fund allocations for 2005 and 2006.
Dennis Culp, Community Services Administrator, reported that while the
CDBG funding allocations require a public hearing and the General Fund
allocations do not, the human services funding sources were combined for
public comment purposes. He said this matter and the related public comments
will be reviewed by the Community Services Committee.
Karen Bergsvik, Human Services Manager, described the overall application
and funding recommendation process, with the first step being preparing for the
September 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 299
funding cycle. This included writing "The Changing Face of Renton" reports
for the Human Services Advisory Committee and applicants use, and hiring a
consultant to assist the advisory committee in improving the process. She
added that the funding priorities remained the same as past years, and for the
first time, the advisory committee agreed to look at other factors in the
application. Additionally, Ms. Bergsvik noted that the South King County
cities developed a common application, which could be used by agencies
applying to any of the participating cities.
Continuing with the overall process, Ms. Bergsvik stated that an application
workshop was held in March; and City staff then processed the submitted
applications, using a checklist and rating review form, before their submittal to
the advisory committee. Ms. Bergsvik explained that there was no assumption
that if an agency was funded in the past, it would be funded in the future. For
2005/2006, the advisory committee felt that the only way they could fund
emerging needs in the community was by shifting funds from currently funded
agencies. She emphasized that did not mean an agency was not performing.
Ms. Bergsvik stated that an evaluation of the process will be conducted, and
agencies will also be given the opportunity to provide feedback. She indicated
that the funding process is a work in progress, which will continue to change
and improve. She concluded by saying that there is a lack of common
understanding of some of the assumptions, and clarification of those
assumptions will help agencies better plan for the future, and provide
parameters for the advisory committee.
Carol Chappelle, Human Services Advisory Committee Chair, stated that the
advisory committee is a diverse and committed group of volunteer citizens who
are committed to workings towards the betterment of Renton citizens. She
reported that 51 General Fund applications were received totaling $1,323,910,
versus the $259,000 available for distribution. Available capital funds totaled
$391,910, versus $652,013 in funding requests. Ms. Chappelle stated that the
advisory committee optimized the funding process by using the following
criteria: 1) Engaging all members of the advisory committee; 2) Being fair and
objective; and 3) Being accountable to the citizens of Renton.
Continuing, Ms. Chappelle described how the advisory committee reviewed the
applications and how the funding recommendations were determined. She
pointed out the many factors considered when evaluating the applications, such
as demographic trends, the number of Renton residents served by the agencies,
and duplication of services. The advisory committee recommended funding the
top 26 General Fund agencies versus 27 funded last year. She suggested that
agencies feeling shortchanged examine how they communicate their
commitment and energy in providing the best value to the citizens of Renton,
and evaluate their charters to make sure they conform to the needs of the
community.
Responding to Councilwoman Nelson's question regarding whether the new
application form generated even more requests for funding, Ms. Bergsvik
indicated that the increase in requests were due more to the cuts in funding for
non-profit organizations. She said agencies are looking for every possible
source of funding.
In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiry regarding the source of the CDBG
funds, Ms. Bergsvik stated they are federal funds distributed by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development to King County.
September 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 300
Public comment was invited.
Richard Brooks, 1025 S. 3rd St., Renton, 98055, stated that he was the
Executive Director of Renton Area Youth Services (RAYS), which has served
the Renton community for over 35 years. He thanked the City for its past
support, and expressed his disappointment that many long-term human services
providers received funding cuts this time, including RAYS' seventeen percent
cut. Mr. Brooks expressed concerns regarding: the differing assumptions, the
existence of City policies regarding funding core human services agencies, the
need to fund emerging needs, the need to fund more and more organizations at a
time when funding is becoming more restrictive, and the lack of clarity of how
the funds will be distributed.
Continuing, Mr. Brooks encouraged the involvement of the human services
providers in the development of policies for the next funding cycle. He also
cautioned against using a zero-based budgeting approach, noting that the
grounds rules were not clearly laid out.
Councilman Corman commented that if the emphasis of the funding process is
going to change, it should be done gradually. He stressed that close attention is
being paid to all comments.
Maggie Moran, 403 E. Meeker St., Kent, 98030, spoke on behalf of Community
Health Centers of King County, and echoed the previous speaker's concerns
about the funding process. She urged support for her organization's funding
request for medical and dental care for Renton residents. Detailing the amount
of funds needed to provide medical and dental services, Ms. Moran expressed
concern regarding the steady decline in the General Fund allocation to her
organization, as well as the irregular pattern of CDBG funding. Stating that a
new Renton Community Health Center is slated to open in January, 2005, she
emphasized the need for a stable and significant financial commitment from the
City.
Daemond Arrindell, 1515 Dexter Ave. N., Suite 300, Seattle, 98109,
representing the Crisis Clinic's Teen Link program, expressed disappointment
that funding for his program will be completely cut. Mr. Arrindell detailed the
history of the program and the services it provides, which include the teen help
line and the youth suicide prevention presentations at King County schools. He
asked that Teen Link's funding request be reconsidered.
Tanesha Van Leuven, 5117 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, 98118, representing
HomeSight, expressed her gratitude for the $30,000 funding recommendation.
She explained that HomeSight helps low and moderate income families buy
their first homes, and the funding will be used for the first time home buyer
revolving loan fund. Ms. Van Leuven requested that Council maintain the
funding recommendation.
Patricia Hart, 200 Mill Ave. S., Renton, 98055, spoke on behalf of the King
County Sexual Assault Resource Center, and stated that the resource center has
been located in Renton for a long time. She emphasized that the resource center
always takes into consideration emerging needs in the community, and works
closely with other organizations so there is no duplication of services. Ms. Hart
expressed her disappointment with the recommended twenty percent funding
cut, and noted the effect the cut will have on the resource center. Pointing out
that the resource center is on the cutting edge of prevention and information for
sexual assault services, she detailed the services and programs the agency
provides. Ms. Hart concluded by expressing her appreciation for the
September 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 301
community's support of the agency.
Larry Johnson, 14308 165th Pl. SE, Renton, 98059, representing Lutheran
Community Services Northwest, expressed his appreciation for the funding
recommendation. Mr. Johnson said the capital funding will go towards the
development of a South King County community service facility, which will
provide senior housing, childcare, immigrant and refugee services, elderly and
disabled services, counseling, and family support. He emphasized that this new
facility is possible because of the partnership of the cities, businesses, and
individuals in South King County.
Celia Forrest, 1010 S. 2nd St., Renton, 98055, spoke on behalf of the YWCA,
and noted how difficult it is becoming for private non-profit organizations, as
expenses continue to increase and the income decreases. Stating that the
YWCA serves people whose lives are in danger, Ms. Forrest stressed that the
organization responds to the community's emerging needs, such as for the
victims of domestic violence. She indicated that as the economy gets worse, all
human services are being affected. Ms. Forrest stated that the YWCA serves a
wide variety of people with a diverse staff, and needs help to figure out how to
continue this necessary work.
Correspondence was read from Susan Richards, Executive Director for
Community in Schools of Renton, 300 SW 7th St., Renton, 98055, expressing
disappointment in the decreased funding recommendation, saying that the
percentage of the decrease was very high for Communities in Schools when
compared to the other agency funding cuts. She asked that the funding be more
equitably allocated to all eligible agencies. Ms. Richards also requested that the
Contingency Plan prioritize allocating additional funds to restore funding to
agencies that have received decreases, rather than being applied proportionately
to all.
Correspondence was read from Del Mead, Renton Clothes Bank Board
President, 1025 S. 3rd St., Renton, 98055, expressing gratitude for Renton's
continued funding support of the clothes bank. She stated that the
recommended $8,000 in funding covers most of the operating costs and
additional funding is received from service clubs, businesses, and citizens.
Detailing the needs that are served by the clothes bank, Ms. Mead noted that in
August, 457 families were served - seventy-five percent of who were children.

Development Services:
Wireless Communication
Facilities in Residential Zones
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the proposed City Code amendments to permit
wireless communication facilities in residential neighborhoods.
Jennifer Henning, Principal Planner, explained that City Code does not allow
monopoles or extensions of existing utility poles for wireless antennas in
residentially zoned neighborhoods, and wireless providers find it difficult to
provide good coverage. The problems are the lack of in-home coverage,
dropped calls, and overall capacity issues, such as the wireless network
becoming overloaded during peak usage times.
September 13, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 302
Ms. Henning stated that staff recommends changes to the City's existing
wireless regulations to allow for new monopoles in residential neighborhoods
on a very limited basis, as follows:
• Allow wireless communication antennas on existing power poles and/or
existing street lights;
• Allow replacement of existing power poles and/or replacement of existing
city street lights with taller support structures;
• Allow antennas greater than ten feet only if applicant demonstrates that no
practical alternative is available to provide the same level of service; and
• Allow the installation of equipment cabinets within public street rights-of-
way or on abutting residentially zoned properties. These structures must be
located underground, or in a suitable location with appropriate screening.
Council President Persson stated his concerns regarding being able to contact
the wireless providers in the event of any problems, the possibility that the
towers will interfere with public safety radio communications, the need to
remove graffiti from the equipment cabinets in a timely manner, and the long-
term maintenance of landscaping.
Councilman Corman expressed his concern about view obstruction, and
recommended that the poles be sited so that no one bears a disproportionate
impact.

Development Services:
Wireless Communication
Facilities in Residential Zones
Ken Lyons, Cingular Wireless, 14042 NE 8th St., Suite 210, Bellevue, 98007,
was invited to comment on the topic of wireless communication facilities in
residential zones. He explained that Puget Sound Energy requires a safety
clearance between their power lines and the antennas on their poles, and the
Federal Communications Commission does not allow any antennas to be placed
lower than ten meters (approximately 33 feet). Therefore, most utility poles in
residential areas are not available for antenna placement.
In regards to the issue of interference with emergency radio communications
that use the 800 megahertz bandwidth, Mr. Lyons pointed out that with the
exception of Nextel, most wireless providers use the 1900 megahertz frequency.
He indicated that this issue is being addressed at the national level. In
conclusion, he noted the difficulty of addressing view obstruction issues, and
suggested that the intent be clearly stated in the City Code.
Councilman Corman suggested that staff consider limits by distance when
evaluating the view obstruction issues.
ADMINISTRATIVE
