Mayor’s Office
Memorandum
DATE: October 4, 2024
TO: Ed Prince, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Armondo Pavone, Mayor
SUBJECT: 2025-2026 Preliminary Budget Message to Council
As a city, Renton has traditionally been conservative in our spending which has
allowed us to weather some challenging times over the last twenty years.
While this budget proposal holds true to that tradition it also includes significant
investments that not only meet the needs of the community but also creates a
positive shift in our trajectory and a lasting impact for generations.
Right-sizing is an important piece of this budget proposal.
Over the past 15 years our staffing levels have had to change due to the constraints
of the economy. We have been able to rebuild staffing in some areas, but our
population continued outpacing our capacity.
Now in 2024, as a city of over 108,000, we have an opportunity to invest in staffing,
helping to right-size so that we can deliver what our community needs.
For every police officer, maintenance worker, or new initiative that we add to our
operations, there is work that is coordinated and performed by our internal support
divisions.
These hardworking teams have been the slowest to rebuild and yet they are critical
to the success, pace, and effectiveness of our efforts. In this proposal, we address
this fundamental need within our operations.
This budget also addresses three key priorities.
The first is public safety.
We will add resources to our police and legal departments to help address the
increase in criminal activity in our city.

Members of the Renton City Council

October 4, 2024
We are currently 47% below the national average and 8% below the State of
Washington’s average of officers per resident.
Eight additional officers proposed over the next two years will bring us closer to the
Washington ratio.
Next is the cleanliness and condition of our city.
Despite the tremendous commitment of our staff, the period of deferred
maintenance and constrained resources have taken a toll.
We see and hear about it from our residents and guests who visit our city and our
parks.
Providing a clean city is not an option. It’s our responsibility.
We are proposing continued funding for downtown clean up and addressing
encampments to keep our public spaces safe and clean. We’ve also included
additional funding for restroom maintenance in our parks.
We are proposing increased investment in our transportation projects, and
upgrades to our city facilities and parks. These improvements are crucial for
keeping the city running smoothly and supporting positive future growth.
Finally, social services.
We are strengthening social services by investing in preventive measures,
particularly for youth, to improve community health and reduce reliance on crisis
intervention.
In addition to our existing services for vulnerable residents such as food
insecurities, senior utility billing rates, housing repair support, supporting new
services will allow us to do more.
As an example, our budget will reflect the use of HB 1590 funds to support the
Renton Student Health Hub, connecting students to behavioral health services and
helping families navigate support systems, aiming to break the cycle that leads to
crisis.
For those already in crisis, we are budgeting for continued support of the FD Cares
program with the Renton Regional Fire Authority, in addition to our safety net of
support services.

We will also use our HB 1590 funds to continue supporting affordable housing
projects such as the newly constructed Sunset Gardens, providing not only
affordable housing but onsite services for vulnerable groups like seniors, low-
income families, and veterans.
In closing, what you’ll see in this budget are strategic investments designed to right-
size our services, improve public safety, clean up our city, and positively impact the
lives of our residents with an increased emphasis on social services.
With this proposed budget, we will be well-positioned to deliver on the goals of the
council’s business plan in a way that will be felt and visible to our community.

Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor 1-4
City of Renton
2025/2026 Budget Highlights
Budget Overview The total adopted 2025/2026 budget has revenue of $645.1 million and a
total expenditure of $648.4 million. This is a 10.4% increase in revenue
and a 11.6% increase in expenditures when compared with the 2023/2024
adopted budget.
The majority of the city’s revenue sources are projected to increase for
the biennium largely due to better than projected revenues from the prior
biennium and key additions to the retail sector in the city to support
stronger than projected business taxes. The 2023/2024 adopted budget
revenue projections anticipated a recession and therefore those taxes
most impacted by recessionary times, such as business taxes, were
projected to have little to no growth. These revenue projections were
much lower than actual tax revenues received, therefore the current
budget increases many of the tax revenues to be more in line with actual
revenues recognized or in some cases a small growth. Other taxes, such
as sales taxes, are projected to decrease from actual figures as the city’s
trends are showing a flat growth in the past 12 months with some
indication of a slight decrease.
The city added positions to address increased workload and the growing
population for whom the city provides services. This budget adds a net 21
positions as compared to the authorized number of positions in the
2023/2024 amended budget, for a total authorized number of 671 FTEs
for 2025 and 678 FTEs for 2026.
2025-2026 Budget Focus
Public safety
Human services
Capital improvements
Internal service fund
reserves
The focus of the adopted 2025/2026 budget is to increase funding
dedicated to public safety and human services; provide continued funding
of new and ongoing maintenance and improvements to the city’s
infrastructure; fund planned increases in reserves for replacements (e.g.
information technology and facilities funds); and increase staffing to align
internal service resources in support of accomplishing department
objectives.
Overall, the adopted budget includes 17.5 new permanent positions in
the general government funds as compared to the authorized number of
positions in the 2023/2024 amended budget. The general government
positions were added to the following departments: police department
(9), parks and recreation (3), transportation (0.5), finance (2), executive
(3), city attorney (2), and facilities (1); offset by the reduction of 1 FTE in
fleet, 1 FTE in parks and recreation, and 2 limited term positions in the
human resources and executive departments respectively that ended in
2024 and 2025.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-5
The adopted budget also includes 3.5 new permanent positions in the
enterprise funds as compared to the authorized number of positions in
the 2023/2024 amended budget. The enterprise funds positions include:
5 FTEs added for utility systems, offset by repurposing 1.5 FTE in the same
department.
The adopted 2025/2026 budget includes a total of $22 million for capital
improvements in the capital funds of transportation, parks and
recreation, and facilities to fund major capital improvements. The money
comes primarily from B&O tax revenue, property tax, real estate excise
tax, and transportation benefit district revenue.
The adopted 2025/2026 budget is balanced.
Fund Balance The citywide 2025/2026 budgeted expenditures exceed the budgeted
revenues by $3.3 million and results in a projected overall fund balance of
$272 million, an approximately 1% decrease from the 2024 estimated
ending fund balance.
The decrease in the fund balance is primarily attributable to using the
one-time savings experienced in the past several years and allocating
these funds for needed capital improvements and planned increases in
reserves for replacements.
The general fund balance will be maintained at $81 million, above the
reserve target of 12% of general fund operating expenditures, as outlined
in the city’s fiscal policy.
Overall, the city is in sound financial condition.
General Fund Overview Of the $645.1 million total revenue, $279.8 million is in the city’s general
fund. The projected revenue is $24.9 million or 9.8% greater than the
2023/2024 budget. The increase is largely due to an increase in tax
revenues as the 2023/2024 budget anticipated a fairly flat growth as a
recession was anticipated. The 2023/2024 actual figures were much
higher than projected, therefore the current adopted budget is
forecasting revenues to be more in line with actual figures, with some
adjustments for a slight increase in property taxes and a slight decrease
in sales taxes in 2025, and a modest growth in 2026 for property taxes,
sales taxes, and B&O tax.
Personnel makes up the largest single category of expenditures for the
general fund at 63%. Wage adjustments, medical premiums, and pension
increases tend to rise at a higher percentage increase than revenues
grow.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-6
Services is the 2nd largest category at 17%, rising approximately 7% for
projected increases for public defender, Valley Communications, and
general supplies increases such as fuel.
Given various cost increases to maintain existing services, even with
accompanying revenues and fee adjustments, the general fund continues
to show persistent budget gaps into the future.
Projected Budget Gap The adopted budget reflects a general fund balance decrease of $9.8
million at the end of 2026, in large part due to the city’s costs growing
faster than the pace at which revenues grow and a significant investment
in capital infrastructure. With an inflationary adjustment for future wages
and projected employee medical benefit cost increases, use of general
fund balance will be needed each year to fund ongoing costs and will
continue to grow larger beyond the current biennium.
To help offset the rising operating costs, the city increased the B&O tax
rates beginning in 2023 and increased gradually the maximum tax any one
taxpayer would be required to pay each year. 2025 will be the last year of
the maximum tax increase any one taxpayer would be required to pay,
therefore, future years projections show revenue growth at a slower
pace.
Further, the city set aside an inflationary reserve to lessen the impact of
the loss of sales tax annexation credit in mid-2018; the reserve will
continue to be used by $0.9 million each year until depleted which will be
in 2026. Although the current budget reflects the projected use of fund
balance to meet the necessary expenditures of the city; the revenue
projections are fairly conservative anticipating a decline in the economy.
The general fund will continue to show persistent budget gaps into the
future. The gap is due to the fundamental imbalance between the
revenue options available to local governments and the services local
governments are expected to provide. Renton is not an exception. This
issue has been a high priority topic for the state legislature and citizen
advisory panels for various past state governors. But, in the end, this is a
problem left for local governments to solve themselves with the limited
tools available. As such, the city does have property tax banked capacity
and could increase the property tax rate more than the allowed 1% cap if
needed in future years to help offset or lessen the projected gap. Ongoing
analysis will be needed each year as long-term projections continue to
show the revenues cannot keep pace with inflation.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-7
Citywide All positions have been adjusted for future increase in wages using CPI as
a gauge in estimated future costs as well as increased costs for medical
and employee benefits. Internal service fund’s expenses have also
increased therefore most departments reflect an increase in overhead
costs.
General Fund Revenues
Business and Occupation Tax
(B&O)/Business License Fees
Property Tax
Sales Tax
Utility Tax
Fee Adjustments
The adopted 2025/2026 budget reflects the final increase of the
maximum tax cap paid by any one taxpayer at $12 million for the
2025/2026 budget. This is an increase over the previous year maximum
amount of $11 million. Once a taxpayer has paid $12 million in taxes
imposed, the rates will be discounted by 75% for remaining gross
proceeds of sale, gross income of business, or value of products.
The B&O tax is an excellent option to help generate the funds needed to
maintain general fund city services into the future. It is projected to
provide approximately $21.1 million in revenue in 2025 and $22.1 million
in 2026. Most of the revenue generated will be needed for the general
fund, although a portion will help fund capital improvement projects.
Property tax revenue is projected to grow by just over $1.7 million based
on the 1% growth limit plus 1% for new construction. Property tax
revenue helps to fund major maintenance projects for parks, facilities,
and transportation projects as well as to help with the overall projected
fund balance gap anticipated due to costs increasing at a faster rate than
our revenues increase.
Sales tax is most volatile during recessionary periods and with predictions
of a future recession in the upcoming years, the adopted budget is
projecting a slight decrease in estimated sales tax revenues from actual
revenues received in 2024. Currently actual sales tax figures are trending
flat or in some cases a slight decrease in 2024 compared to 2023.
Construction and wholesale industries are anticipated to continue to see
strong performance, as ongoing projects continue to wrap up.
Although there are no general rate increases for the city’s utilities, due to
the fluctuation of revenues in other utilities, the utility tax is expected to
increase approximately $2.5 million over the 2023/2024 budget.
Consistent with prior year practices, the fee schedule has been reviewed
and the adopted budget includes various fee increases, as outlined in the
adopted fee schedule.

The legislative department adopted budget includes regular salary
increases of $33 thousand annually due to cost-of-living adjustments
voted on by the salary commission.
Executive
1 administrative
secretary
Removal of 1 limited
term administrative
secretary mid-year 2025
The executive department reflects the addition of the community
outreach budget previously in the equity, housing and human services
department (EHHS) due to the re-organization in 2024 and absorbing the
internal service fund of communications print shop that had previously
been reported separately but will now be included as an overhead
department.
The executive department also reflects an increase in one administrative
support position to support emergency management, city clerk, and
communications as well as a decrease in 2025 for the expiration of the
limited term receptionist position supporting the customer service center
in the lobby.
Community & Economic
Development
Downtown cleaning
contract
The community and economic development adopted budget includes the
addition of the housing division budget previously in EHHS due to the re-
organization in 2024. Other services and charges increased by $150
thousand annually for a downtown cleaning contract to better support
the downtown core. School impact mitigation fees moved to non-
departmental budget causing a decrease in other services and charges for
2025 and 2026.
Parks and Recreation
1 recreation supervisor
1 associate planner
1 capital project manager
Remove parks planning
director
Regrade 3 positions
dedicated to

The parks and recreation department adopted budget includes a
restructure that consolidates six divisions into two divisions: parks and
trails, and recreation and human services. This is to align with the National
Parks and Recreation Association three pillars that prioritize conservation,
equity, and health and wellness. As part of this reorganization, two new
positions were added of a recreation supervisor and an associate planner,
these costs were offset by removing the vacant parks planning and natural
resources director and reallocation operating budget.
A capital project manager was added for $180 thousand annually to
manage the work group dedicated to planning for capital improvements
projects and grant applications.
Three parks positions dedicated to encampment clean up were regraded
to a higher pay grade.
The parks capital budget is included in a separate fund along with facilities
capital improvements. The additions to capital projects for the biennium
totals $6.1 million for parks. See the capital investment program budget
(section 5) for the full detail listing.

Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-12
Airport No additional budget requests other than those noted above and what
is outlined in the capital investment program (section 5).
Internal Service Funds
The city operates several “businesses” that provide service internally to
other city departments. These include the equipment rental fund (501),
insurance fund (502, property, liability, worker’s comp, and
unemployment), information technology fund (503), facilities fund (504),
healthcare insurance fund (512), and LEOFF1 retiree healthcare fund
(522).
All of the costs identified herein are paid for and included in the
operating departments’ budget. The charges are calculated based on
either specific charges or by systematic cost allocation. The health
insurance charge (for both active and retired employees) is part of
personnel benefit costs. The remaining internal service funds (fleet,
property/liability insurance, technology, and facilities) services are paid
as internal service charges.
About 75% of all internal service charges are paid by the general fund;
therefore, the cost of internal service fund operations directly affects the
general fund’s bottom line.
Equipment Rental Fund
Remove 1 fleet
maintenance position
$6.1M equipment
replacements/new
additions
The equipment rental fund maintains the equipment and vehicles used
intensively in delivering city services. The fund also accumulates
replacement reserves for the replacement of vehicles when needed.
The adopted budget includes $2.6 million in 2025 and $3.5 million in
2026 for equipment replacements and new acquisitions as well as
equipment costs for new commissioned officers. See the capital
investment program budget (section 5) for the full detailed listing.
Information Technology
1 data analyst/report
writer
1 client technology
services specialist
$750K in capital
Replacement reserves
The information technology (IT) fund is used to allocate the costs of the
city’s centralized IT services costs. This fund provides for citywide
communication and data processing systems improvements;
maintenance and support including phone and computer hardware and
software; data center servers, storage, and network systems; business
application systems development, implementation, and support;
geographic information systems and services; and mobile devices,
copier, and printer equipment for the city.
The adopted budget includes the addition of two new staff members. A
data analyst/report writer to be added in 2025 at an annual cost of $180
thousand per year to provide a citywide resource for preparing reports
from a variety of data systems. In 2026 the budget includes the addition
of a client technology services specialist for $180 thousand to increase
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-13
support at the IT help desk, and adjustment to software costs for
inflation including the extension of the police body cameras contract
previously accounted for in the police department budget and increase
for software licenses due to inflation.
The adopted budget includes $750 thousand in IT capital projects over
the two-year budget period. This includes major replacement and
enhancement of existing core networking, servers and storage
equipment, end-user computers, copiers, and printers. See the capital
investment program budget (section 5) for additional details.
Also, new this year, the adopted budget includes the beginning of funds
set aside for future replacement reserves for the replacement of large
software systems when needed.
Risk Management
$3.2M in liability
insurance premiums and
insurance claims
The city’s risk management program consists of three funds: the
property and liability insurance fund (502), the employee health
insurance fund (512), and the LEOFF I retiree medical fund (522).
The liability insurance fund’s annual budget increased $1.6 million
annually due to the cost of insurance coverage. Insurance costs overall
are rising at a significant rate. The 2024 budget did not account for the
large increase in premiums; therefore this adopted budget has an
increase in the annual premium rate along with a slight increase for
workers compensation and unemployment insurance claims.
The liability insurance fund also includes one-time transfers of $900
thousand each year to the general fund to help with the loss of the
annexation sales tax revenues that ended in 2018. Initially these reserves
were to be used in 2020, however due to key decisions made early in the
pandemic, these reserves were not needed. 2026 will be the last year of
this transfer.
The city self-insures employee health benefits and are based on
projected plan costs by the number of employees. The premium
projection is based on actual plan cost for the prior year along with an
actuarial analysis. Currently, the increase is projected at 7% for both
years.
Providing retiree health care is required by state law for LEOFF I retirees.
The city’s contribution is determined actuarially and re-evaluated every
other year.
Facilities
2 facilities technicians one
each year
The facilities fund is responsible for maintaining and operating the city’s
offices, public facilities (primarily used by the public), and operational
facilities (primarily used for city operations purposes) and charges the
costs to the appropriate functions/departments.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - 2025/2026 Budget Highlights 1-14
Remove maintenance
custodian
Convert lead maintenance
custodian to custodial
supervisor
$1M in professional
services for parks restroom
cleaning
The adopted budget includes the addition of two facilities technicians,
one in 2025 and another in 2026. The technician added in 2025 will be
offset by converting a vacant maintenance custodian position therefore
absorbing some of the cost to add the positions. Additional budget of
$95 thousand and $260 thousand for 2025 and 2026 respectively was
added to fund these positions. The adopted budget also includes
converting an existing lead maintenance custodian to a custodial
supervisor for $30 thousand per year to oversee the evening shift.
Additional professional services budget of $1 million for the biennium is
for restroom cleaning at the parks.
The facilities capital budget is included in a separate fund along with
parks capital improvements. The additions to capital projects for the
biennium totals $4 million for facilities. See the capital investment
program budget (section 5) for the full detail listing.
Communications
Budget moved to
executive department
The communications internal service fund was previously created to pool
citywide communications resources for the central print shop, interoffice
mail, external postage, printing services, and the government TV channel
operation. It has since been determined these services can instead be
allocated to various departments through the city’s overhead cost
allocation instead of separately tracking within a separate fund. These
overhead costs are now combined with the executive department and
the fund will be closed in 2025 after all 2024 costs are accounted for.
Pension Trust Fund
Firemen’s Pension
$1.4M in interest earnings
The city is the custodian of the firemen’s pension fund, a trust fund
managed by appointed trustees consisting of city elected officials and
retired pensioners.
The fund accumulates resources and pays current pension benefits per
state law. The fund has sufficient assets to fully fund the city’s pension
obligation. Currently the plan assets generate more than sufficient
earnings to cover the benefits. The fund balance is expected to grow due
to the “overfunded” status of the pension. After the plan is closed and
all beneficiaries are expired, the balance may be moved to LEOFF 1
retiree medical.
A large investment is set to mature in 2025 thus recognizing
approximately $1.4 million more in investment earnings from prior year.

The Budget Process
Washington state law requires that cities must adopt a balanced budget prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.
The adopted budget appropriates funds and establishes legal expenditure limits for the upcoming fiscal year.
Washington state law also allows for the adoption of biennial budgets provided the city council also adopts a
second ordinance for a mid-biennial review and modification prior to the end of the first year in the fiscal
biennium. In 2011, the City of Renton moved from an annual budget to a biennial budget with mid-biennial review.
Budget Development and Adoption
The City of Renton’s development of the biennial budget occurs every two years from February through October.
Development begins with the mayor and the council’s review of the city’s current service levels and projected
revenues into the new biennium to determine if they need to make significant changes to the budget. During this
review, the mayor’s first priority is to ensure that the city is able maintain the current levels of service. As costs to
maintain service levels continue to rise, additional funding may need to be identified to preserve the current levels
of service. Alternatively, if revenues are expected to decline, cost-cutting measures may be implemented.
The mayor and the council hold a strategic planning retreat in February/March of each year in order to determine
whether the city’s current levels of service are meeting the needs of our community, adopt the city’s business
plan goals, and sets policy direction and priorities for the next budget cycle.
During May, June, and July, city departments prepare and submit budget proposals with the estimates for
providing existing service levels for each year in the biennium. In addition, they submit capital improvement
program (CIP) budgets and requests for new programs that they would like the mayor to consider, which include
current service level expansion and new services. The mayor then evaluates the departments' proposals to ensure
they align with council’s adopted business plan goals and recommends to council for approval.
The mayor must provide a proposed biennial budget to the council no later than the first Monday of October. The
mayor’s proposal also includes the estimated revenue to support the costs of providing city services. Proposed
expenditures cannot exceed the reasonably anticipated revenue sources, unless new revenue sources are also
being proposed, in which case, proposed legislation to authorize the new revenue sources must be submitted to
the city council along with the proposed budget.
After the mayor submits the proposed budget, the council conducts public hearings. During the same time frame,
the council holds committee meetings in open sessions to discuss budget requests with department
representatives and make subsequent amendments to the mayor’s proposed budget. Once the public hearings
have been held, the deliberative process is complete, and the council has made their changes, the city council will
adopt the budget ordinance in November.
Once the council adopts the budget, the mayor must ensure that expenditures are made within legal limits. If the
economy changes or the city identifies unanticipated needs during the year that require changing the budget, the
mayor will recommend those changes. A council-adopted ordinance must accompany all budget increases. If
revenues fall short, the mayor can make decreases to the budget to ensure that the city does not overspend
available resources.

Executive Summary - Budget at a Glance 1-18
Budgetary Basis and Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized. The city’s
budget is adopted on the modified accrual basis of accounting: revenue is reported when it is both measurable
and available and expenditures are reported when the liabilities are incurred. Property tax, sales taxes, and other
tax-payer assessed revenues due for the current year are considered both measurable and available for budgetary
purposes, even though a portion may be collected in the subsequent year. Licenses, fines, penalties, and
miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenue as they are received in cash since this is when they are both
available and can be accurately measured.
The budgetary basis of accounting does vary slightly from the city’s financial statement reporting. Both
governmental activities and business-type activities in the government-wide statements, the proprietary fund,
and the fiduciary fund statements are presented on the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Whereas, the governmental fund financial statements
are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting, similar to the budgetary basis of accounting except for
the following differences:
Perspective differences – the general fund is structured differently for budgeting purposes than it is for
reporting under GAAP. This city maintains various management funds that are reported within the general
fund. Consolidation of the funds results in the elimination of transfers between the consolidated funds
for GAAP reporting.
Basis difference – certain payments and receipts are budgeted for in a manner that is inconsistent with
GAAP. Interfund payments for indirect cost allocations and reimbursement of payroll costs associated
with capital projects are budgeted as interfund revenues; however, these payments are reclassified as a
reduction of the expenditure for GAAP reporting. In addition, interfund loan payments are budgeted as
debt service expenditures; however, these payments are reclassified as a reduction of the interfund loan
payable for GAAP reporting.
The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. The budget is adopted with budgetary
control at the fund level, by year. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level of detail
for each year of the biennium. Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the city council has the
legal authority to increase or decrease a given fund’s budget. Any unspent operating appropriations automatically
lapse at the end of each fiscal year, except for any amounts that are continued through the city’s annual adopted
carry-forward ordinance. The carry-forward ordinance also identifies unspent capital appropriations to be carried
forward into the following year.

Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-32
Change in Fund Balance
The 2025/2026 adopted budget will result in a net decrease in fund balance of $3.3 million citywide. The change
is a combination of a slight increase in revenues from taxes and capital project funding timing (all capital project
related funds, as well as enterprise funds) and utility rate increases, offset by planned increases in reserves for
replacements (Equipment Rental Fund), expected decrease in interest earnings, increased funding for needed
capital improvements to city facilities and parks, increases in the number of full time employee count citywide by
21 and market increases to employee benefits and wages.

Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-34
General Fund Long Range Projection
The city’s fiscal policy requires the city to prepare a long-term projection for general governmental and other
funds as deemed necessary. The city prepares projections for tax-supported governmental funds as well as rate-
supported utility funds. The purposes are similar: to ensure operations and maintenance of capital assets are
sustainable with tax and utility rate revenues. These plans allow the city to proactively manage and implement
corrective measures over time to avoid sudden drastic changes in service levels or in revenue/tax policies.
In addition, the city’s fiscal policy requires a balanced budget, with operating costs covered by operating revenues.
While the policy does not require a balanced budget in the projected period beyond the current budget years, the
intent is to adjust current operations to a sustainable level within the projected horizon.
Approximately 81% of general fund revenue is from taxes, 29% from sales tax, and 19% from property tax alone.
The key revenue assumptions shown in the table above reflect a projection that will generate 1% of new
construction value per year to be added to the property tax roll over the next four years. The sales tax reflects a
slight and almost flat growth rate over the biennium as sales tax growth continues to be stagnant, and a B&O tax
growth rate of 2% per year largely due to the adjustment to the tax cap. Key expenditure growth drivers are wages

Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-35
and benefits, inflation on supplies and services. It is assumed that wages will grow annually, employee healthcare
costs will grow by the historical average along with an actuarial analysis, and state pension contributions will
increase from 12.9% over the planning period. Although inflation is beginning to cool, we are stilling seeing
increases in the cost of goods and services, which have been largely offset by shifting budget instead of increases
in those areas that can absorb the change.
These underlying assumptions cannot bring the overall revenue growth to match the projected expenditure
growth even with the projected tax rate changes. This is the structural deficit that local governments are faced
with and have revisited again and again, but no permanent fix is in sight. Unless the state legislature takes action
to allow property tax to grow by inflation and population growth, this issue will continue to persist into the future.
While the projection is anticipating the use of fund balance to support the difference between projected revenues
and expenditures, the fund balance can support this projection over the next 5 years and still stay within the target
reserve figure.
MAJOR REVENUES
Property Tax (RCW 84.52)
The valuation of the city’s property tax base since 2015 improved incrementally each year by an average of 11%
until 2024 when the overall value dropped for the first time in over a decade. The city’s 2024 assessed value from
the King County Assessor’s office was $27.2 billion, a decrease of 4.7% from the prior year. The assessed value for
2025 is $29.4 billion, an increase of 8.1% over 2024.
While the assessed value often increases or decreases by a large percentage from year to year, the city’s property
tax revenues do not. This is due to the manner in which Washington state’s property tax collection is determined
and the limitations placed on the amount that can be raised by a governmental entity as determined by state law.
Two basic limitations are the limitation on the tax rate and the limitation on the rate of growth in property tax
revenue.
1. The Tax Rate Limit:
The state constitution establishes the maximum regular property tax levy increase for all taxing districts
combined at 1%, or $10 per $1,000, of assessed value of the property. This limitation is further divided by the
RCW to the various taxing districts. For cities served by library and/or fire districts, the tax rate limit is
calculated by deducting the amount levied by the library district (up to $0.50 per thousand dollars AV) and
the fire district (up to $1.00 per thousand dollars AV for fire districts with a fire benefit charge) from the $3.60
local portion of the levy. For cities that have a fire pension fund, as Renton does, an additional $0.225 may be
levied. Based on this calculation, Renton’s property tax rate is limited to $2.325 per $1,000 of assessed value.
2. The 1% growth limit in property tax revenue:
Before 2002, a taxing district could increase the property tax levy amount annually by 6% of the amount levied
in the previous year, up to the applicable tax rate limit discussed above. This growth limit was established in
1973 as the legislature responded to people's concerns that property taxes were rising too fast due to the real
estate boom occurring at that time.
Initiative 747, approved by voters in 2001 and taking effect in 2002, lowered the limit to the lesser of 1% or
inflation. Property tax growth resulting from new construction, changes in value of state-assessed utility
property, and newly annexed property are exempt from this limit and may be added to the base tax levy. This
growth limit can be "lifted" by voters with a simple majority approval, and the amount can be added to the
levy base permanently for future years if the intent is clearly stated in the ballot measure.

Distribution of Property Tax
Most properties in Renton pay $10.50 per $1,000 AV in
2024, of which 9% goes to city services. The remaining 91%
goes to the Renton Regional Fire Authority (9.5%), Sound
Transit (1.6%), Renton School District (33.6%), King County
(13.4%) for regional services, the state school fund (24%),
King County Library System (2.7%), Valley Medical (3%),
Port of Seattle (1%), and Emergency Medical Services
(2.2%). The city’s portion of property tax in 2024 on an
average home is $585 ($617K AV).
Past and Projected Property Tax Revenue
The city has not always levied its full capacity allowed per
the rate limitations described above. In those cases, the city
is allowed to bank this capacity to use in future years if
needed. Renton has a banked capacity of $15.7 million.
Sales Tax (RCW 82.14)
Sales tax is the largest taxing source for the City of Renton
representing approximately 29% of general fund revenue.
The city’s economy generates approximately $373 million
in sales taxes, but similar to property tax, the city only
receives approximately 10.5% of the sales tax revenue
generated within Renton. The remaining 89.5% goes to
other government entities and to support public transit
and public facility agencies.
In addition to the local sales tax, the city also receives a
distribution of a voter-approved criminal justice sales tax,
Housing and supportive services sales tax and a newly
added transportation benefit tax.

2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-37
In 2020 the sales tax receipts were one of the hardest
hit revenue sources by the closures due to the
pandemic; although this tax recovered much faster
than expected with a marked increase beginning in
2021. Mid 2023 marked another key change in the
growth figures, decreasing from double digit growth
figures to a 1.6% overall growth, with most of the
growth coming from the construction sector. Projected
growth for the upcoming biennium is expected to be
less than 1% in 2025 and a slight increase in 2026 of
2.5% with an anticipated 3% in out years.
Criminal Justice Sales Tax (RCW 82.14.340)
Criminal justice sales tax is a 0.1% voter-approved optional sales tax in King County, collected countywide and
distributed based on population. Because it employs a more diverse tax base and different distribution formula
than regular sales taxes, this source is typically more stable and is projected to grow by the inflationary growth
plus population growth.
Housing and Supportive Services Sales Tax (RCW 82.14.530)
Beginning in 2021, council approved an increase in sales tax rate by 0.1% in support for housing and supportive
services (House Bill 1590). These funds are restricted to be used only for affordable housing and behavioral and
mental health support. This tax is a component of sales tax; therefore, future years like sales tax projections are
expected to be fairly flat in 2025 with a modest increase in 2026. As retail sales increase, the amount of funds
received for housing and supportive services will also increase.
Transportation Benefit District Tax (RCW 82.14.0455)
Chapter 36.73 RCW authorizes cities to form transportation benefit districts (TBDs), quasi-municipal corporations
and independent taxing districts that can raise revenue for specific transportation projects. Transportation benefit
districts are primarily funded through sales taxes and/or vehicle license fees. Effective July 1, 2022, 0.1% of this
sales tax may (optionally) be imposed by a majority vote of the governing board as long as the TBD includes all of
the territory within the jurisdiction(s) forming the TBD. The city elected to form a TBD in 2024 of which funds are
to be used for street overlay and sidewalk repairs.
Transportation benefit district revenue may be used for transportation improvements included in a local, regional,
or state transportation plan. Improvements can range from roads and transit service to sidewalks and
transportation demand management. Construction, maintenance, and operation costs are eligible.
Composition and Projected Growth
The current year composition of the city’s sales tax is relatively diverse with the services industry representing the
largest portion at 27%, followed by retail industry at 25%, automotive at 17%, construction at 14%, manufacturing
at 6%, and wholesaling and miscellaneous at 6% and 5%, respectively. This is relatively consistent with historical
averages, except for services which have now outpaced the retail sector.

This tax base over the past several years has been
extremely irregular and hard to project as it is most
impacted by inflation. The sales tax history shows a
decrease in retail and auto sales in 2024 compared
to prior years which could be an indication of a
slowing economy.
As such, projections for the biennium are
expected to be flat or little growth for 2025 and
a slight increase of 2% for 2026. The expectation
that this tax will show very little growth is based
on continued changes in the economy of
elevated interest rates, credit card debt at an all-
time high and many consumers having less
discretionary money to spend.
Utility Taxes (RCW 82.16)
Cities and towns in Washington state are authorized to levy a tax on the gross income derived from sales of utility
services generated within the city or town; this is known as a utility tax. The tax rate for electric, phone, and gas
utilities are limited to 6% without voter approval, with no limitation on other public utilities. The city currently
levies a 6% utility tax on phone (both landline and cellular services), electric, natural gas, and cable services. City
utilities (water, sewer, storm drainage, and solid waste) pay an interfund utility tax. The current tax rates are 6%
for sewer and 6.8% for water, storm drainage, and garbage (both city operated, and franchise provider operated)
services. The additional 0.8% was added during the 2013-14 budget to generate additional revenue for general
governmental capital projects.

2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-39
Overall projections in revenues over the next few years anticipate a slight increase year-over-year as this tax
revenue is sensitive to consumer consumption levels, weather conditions, and the general overall economic
conditions. Future years past biennium are anticipated to grow by population except for phone showing a
projected decrease year-over-year as consumers move away from the standard land line.
B&O Tax and Business License Fee
The city requires all businesses conducting business in the city to obtain a business license and pay a $150 business
license registration fee at the time of application. Non-profit and government organizations are required to obtain
a license but are exempt from paying this fee. Future years projections show a slight decrease in the number of
licenses issued as there has been some fluctuation since the pandemic on new or continued business license
applications. Future years are expected to rebound slightly at a 3% growth rate.
B&O Tax
The adopted budget includes the B&O tax
implemented on January 1, 2016. The B&O tax is
based on gross receipts of a business. The tax
structure and rates were changed in 2022 and 2023
to reflect an increase in tax rates as well as a gradual
increase in the maximum amount paid by any one
taxpayer. The key provisions of the B&O tax are:
Businesses with $500,000 or higher annual
gross receipts are required to pay B&O tax.
The B&O tax maximum amount paid by any one taxpayer in a tax year increased to $9 million in 2023, and
$11 million in 2024. Starting in 2025 and thereafter, once a taxpayer has reached $12 million in taxes, the
rates shall be discounted by 75% for the remaining proceeds.
The tax rate is 0.121% for all business activities other than retail, which has a rate of 0.07%.
Provides a three-year, new employer tax credit for new businesses with 50 or more employees in Renton.
In 2020, there was a significant decrease in B&O tax revenues due to many local businesses closing because of the
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the grounding of the 737 Max whose production was halted at the local Boeing
plant in Renton. 2024 continued to see production at the Boeing plant slowed however the addition of several key
retail businesses as well as the increase in tax rates have continued to keep this tax stable. The B&O tax revenue
is projected at $21.1 million and $22.1 million for 2025 and 2026 respectively. The B&O tax supports general city
operations and the changes in tax rates and maximum tax structure will help offset the increased costs due to
inflation. Without this funding source, the city would need to reduce services from general fund operations, which
would result in significantly reducing services to the community. The B&O tax and business license fees are also
used to partially pay for transportation and general governmental capital improvements.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
The State of Washington levies a real estate excise tax (REET) on all sales of real estate (measured by the full selling
price, including the amount of any liens, mortgages, and other debts given to secure the purchase) at a rate of
1.28%. Local governments are also authorized to impose REET. All cities and counties may levy a quarter percent
tax, described as "the first quarter percent of the real estate excise tax" or "REET 1". Cities and counties planning
under the Growth Management Act (GMA) have the authority to levy a second quarter percent tax (“REET 2”).
The statute further specifies that, if a county is required to plan under GMA or if a city is located in such a county,
the tax may be levied by a vote of the legislative body. If, however, the county chooses to plan under GMA, the
tax must be approved by a majority of the voters.

2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-40
REET 1 (RCW 82.46.010):
Initially authorized in 1982, cities and counties can use the receipts of REET 1 for all capital purposes. An
amendment in 1992 states that cities and counties with a population of 5,000 or more planning under the GMA
must spend REET 1 receipts solely on capital projects that are listed in the capital facilities plan element of their
comprehensive plan. Capital projects are: “public works projects of a local government for planning, acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets; roads; highways;
sidewalks; street and road lighting systems; traffic signals; bridges; domestic water systems; storm and sanitary
sewer systems; parks; recreational facilities; law enforcement facilities; fire protection facilities; trails; libraries;
administrative and judicial facilities.” Receipts pledged to debt retirement prior to April 1992 and/or spent prior
to June 1992 are grandfathered from this restriction.
REET 2 (RCW 82.46.035):
The second quarter percent of the real estate excise tax (authorized in 1990) provides funding for cities and
counties to finance capital improvements required to occur concurrently with growth under the Growth
Management Act. An amendment in 1992 defines the "capital project" as: "Public works projects of a local
government for planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or
improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges,
domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning, construction, reconstruction, repair,
rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.” Because of this amendment, acquisition of park land was no longer a
permitted use of REET 2 after March 1, 1992.
Trend and Projection
The combined two quarter-percent of the REET
is expected to generate $5 million each year for
2025 and 2026, up from the actual revenues in
2023 and 2024 which home sales have been
impacted by the high interest rates. REET
revenue is used for the General Governmental
Debt Service Fund (215), Transportation CIP
Fund (317) and General Governmental CIP
Fund (316).
Gambling Excise Tax
(RCW 9.46.110 & 9.46.113)
The city levies gambling taxes as follows:

2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Long Range Plan 1-41
All rates are the maximum authorized by state
statute, except for the card rooms, which has a
maximum rate of 20%. The state legislature began
allowing the operation of "enhanced card rooms"
or mini casinos on non-tribal land on a pilot basis in
1997 and on a permanent basis in the spring of
2000. This activity provided a significant revenue
source for Renton, which generates about 81% of
the city’s gambling taxes. The remaining 19% are
made up of pull-tabs, amusement games, and
bingo. The city’s current gambling tax also exempts
raffles and bingos held by non-profit organizations
insofar as the revenue received is used for
charitable purposes. This modification has a
negligible effect on gambling tax revenue.
Revenues from these activities are required to be used primarily for the purpose of gambling enforcement (RCW
9.46.113). Case law has clarified that "primarily" means "first be used" for gambling law enforcement purposes to
the extent necessary for that city. The remaining funds may be used for any general government purpose. The city
designates gambling tax revenue as a law enforcement resource.
Gambling revenues remained relatively stable for many years until 2020, due to gambling establishments being
forced to close during the pandemic. However, this tax rebounded in 2021 and 2022 almost doubling the amount
received in 2020. In recent years, these revenues have decreased slightly but still show a continued strong revenue
growth. The biennium revenues are projected at $2.9 million each year for the planning period, set conservatively
until the actual figures stabilize.
LICENSES AND PERMITS
Permit and Development Fees
Permit and development revenues were
another fee that was impacted by the
pandemic. Construction sites were shut down
and construction material supplies were
limited during this time, adding to ongoing
construction delays or slower construction
overall. The development fees then saw a
marked increase from the pent-up demand
during the pandemic shut down. With interest
rates so high, the fees again have taken a steep
decline.
Adding to the variable changes in fees collected was from a small market rate fee adjustment in 2019 and again
in 2022. After years of little to no adjustments, the city changed its practice to maintain a more gradual, stable
pattern of fee adjustments for the future. The adopted 2025-2026 budget project little to no growth in
development fees until changes in interest rates go down. Projections beyond the current budget reflect as stable
or baseline as cyclical fluctuations and potential economic changes could impact this revenue significantly.

Franchise Fees
Franchise fees are charges levied on private utility companies
to recoup the city’s costs for their use of city streets and other
public properties. The franchise fees on electric, natural gas,
and telephone utilities are limited by statute to the actual
administrative expenses incurred by the city directly related to
receiving and approving permits, licenses, or franchisees.
Cable TV franchise fees are governed by the Federal Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1994 and are negotiated with
cable companies for an amount not to exceed 5% of gross
revenues, which is the primary source of the city’s franchise
fee revenue. We have seen a steady decrease in these fees
over the past several years due to the change in consumer
habits with cable television. Estimates for 2025 show a
decrease to be more in line with actual revenues to date, with
a long-term projection of a relatively flat revenue increase.
Intergovernmental (State-Shared Revenues)
Intergovernmental revenues include state-shared revenues, governmental grants, and miscellaneous transfers.
The state-shared revenues are from taxes and fees collected by the state and disbursed to municipalities based
on population or other criteria. The primary sources of these state-shared revenues are fuel tax (tax on gasoline
consumption), liquor sales profit and excise tax, marijuana excise tax, and criminal justice. The amount of grant
revenue fluctuates greatly from year to year.
The past several years included significant grants
received to support economy recovery due to the
pandemic through Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act (CARES) and American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) funding. Trends in the state shared
revenues are projected to be a net flat growth. Some
taxes are expected to be higher such as liquor profits
and criminal justice; however, we have also seen a
steady decline in fuel taxes.
The graph on the left shows intergovernmental
revenues in the city’s operating funds. There are also
substantial grant revenues in the capital project funds,
particularly for transportation and parks improvement
projects that are not included in this graph.

Charge for Services
Charges for services include revenue generated from services provided to the public (including recreation fees,
facility rental fees), certain public safety services, as well as services provided internally between city departments
(Interfund Services) that are not operated through an internal service fund structure. This source of revenue
experienced a sharp decline during the pandemic with required closures of the city’s community centers. The
2025 and 2026 projections show increased interfund income as inflation continues to impact overall costs and a
recovery in revenues of the community centers.
Parks and Recreation Fees
Overall, recreation fees are generated from recreation classes, athletic programs, leagues and field rentals, senior
activity center, community center, and aquatic center fees and rentals. In 2020, this revenue source decreased
65% from prior years as the city was required to close its recreation centers due to the pandemic. A gradual
rebound in fees were recognized in 2021 as the restrictions of the pandemic began to lift and are projecting to be
back to pre-pandemic levels over the biennium.
Public Safety Services
Public safety services revenue includes private security, electronic home
detention, passport processing, court cost recovery and miscellaneous
services. The revenue is projected to be $1.4 million for both 2025 and 2026,
a decrease over prior years as the opportunity to offer private security has
not been available because officers are needed to fill the minimum staffing
requirements.
Interfund Services
In addition to activities accounted for in the internal service funds that are fully allocated to all operating
departments, the city also has two types of interfund transactions that are intended to reimburse service costs
incurred by one fund while services are consumed by another.
1) Indirect Cost: All enterprise funds are required to reimburse the general fund for overhead costs such as
accounting, human resources, records management, legal, and administrative expenses; and

2) Soft Capital Transfer: This is for staff time spent on capital projects for design, engineering, inspection,
project management, and sometimes small project construction.
The indirect cost is determined through a cost allocation model using transaction volume, number of full-time
employees, and size of budget as determining factors. The “soft capital” transfers are based on actual labor and
material costs incurred. The revenue is projected to be $6.8 million for 2025 as inflation has impacted overall costs
and wages.
Fines and Forfeits
Fines and forfeits account for civil and criminal penalties as authorized by the state and adopted by the city code
and collected through the Renton Municipal Court.
The city implemented the photo-enforcement
system at high collision intersections and at
school zones during the fall of 2008. Like other
revenues, there was a sharp decline during the
pandemic with an increase in 2021 as schools
were re-opened. Photo enforcement revenues
typically will decline as drivers are more aware
of the areas and zones in which cameras exist.
Although this is a decline from prior years, the
projected revenues are expected to stabilize in
future years.
Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenues include interest income,
cellular tower site rentals, donations, sales of
documents, etc. The majority of the revenues in
this category is investment interest income which
has seen significant fluctuations in the past
several years. Interest rates soared in 2023 and
2024, of which the 2024 year-end estimate has
been adjusted to reflect additional revenues. As
inflation begins to cool, interest rates will begin to
decrease. A large amount of the funds are
invested at the state investment pool giving the
city a high amount of liquidity. These rates are
quick to change when the federal reserve makes
interest rate changes. The projection is to have
only modest revenues over the biennium with the
expected decrease in the federal reserve rates.
The city’s investment policy requires we also properly ladder our investments to smooth out any fluctuations in
the rates. Due to the high uncertainty of upcoming changes, these revenues were set to be at a conservative
growth.

Enterprise Funds
Utilities: Water, Sewer, and Solid Waste Rates
The water, sewer, surface water and solid waste rates fund all the costs associated with providing these services,
as well as necessary capital improvements to these utility systems. Other sources including hookup fees,
development charges, grants, etc., are also available but are limited, unpredictable, and primarily related to the
capital programs. Due to the increased costs of maintaining the systems, regulatory requirements, and higher
general operating costs, the city continuously reviews these rates and adjusts as needed.
Rate Related Fiscal Policy
During the summer of 2010, the city council adopted a set of fiscal policies to guide future rate setting for all city
utilities. These policies address minimum fund balances, as well as the financing of capital improvements in the
future. Specifically, the policies rely on rates to finance preservation of existing systems and only use bonding to
finance system capacity improvements. The rate model was updated in 2024 showing a rate increase for water to
include an increase by 2% for 2025, sewer a 2% increase in 2026 and a surface water increase of 3.5% for both
years as well as residential garbage rates project a 6.2% increase in rates. In addition to the proposed city rate
increases, King County Metro (which provides sewer treatment) is proposing a 5.75% rate increase in 2025.

Maplewood Golf Course
The city’s Maplewood Golf Course Fund was created by Ordinance 3884 in 1985. Maplewood Golf Course is owned
and operated by the city. The golf course is also a water utility resource as it is the location of city wells that
provide drinking water to our community. The use of this space as a golf course helps preserve the quality of the
well water for future generations.
The course is managed by the parks and recreation department and is operated as a separate enterprise fund of
the city as a fully self-sustained operation. The golf course revenues fared well during the pandemic as golf courses
were allowed to stay open during much of the pandemic shut down. Revenues continue to increase year-over-
year due to a slight increase in rates and continued increase in consumer use of the golf course. Overall change
for 2025 and 2026 are at 7% and 6% respectively.

will be in compliance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), that must be satisfied with respect to tax-exempt bonds and other obligations ("bonds")
after the bonds are issued so that interest on the bonds will be and remain tax-exempt.
b. Responsibility for Monitoring Post-Issuance Tax Compliance.
The city council of the city has the overall, final responsibility for monitoring whether the city is in
compliance with post-issuance federal tax requirements for the city's tax-exempt bonds. However,
the city council assigns to the finance administrator of the city the primary operating responsibility
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1-56
to monitor the city's compliance with post-issuance federal tax requirements for the city's tax-
exempt bonds.

ii. expenditures made with bond proceeds (including investment earnings on bond proceeds) for
the governmental purposes of the bonds, such as for the costs of purchasing, constructing
and/or renovating property and facilities;
iii. information showing, where applicable for a particular calendar year, that the city was eligible
to be treated as a "small issuer" in respect of bonds issued in that calendar year because the city
did not reasonably expect to issue more than $5,000,000 of tax-exempt bonds in that calendar
year;
iv. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") upon
an audit of a bond issue that, where applicable, the city has complied with an available spending
exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement in respect of that bond issue;
v. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of a bond issue for
which no exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement was applicable, that the rebate
amount, if any, that was payable to the United States of America in respect of investments
made with gross proceeds of that bond issue was calculated and timely paid with Form 8038-T
timely filed with the IRS; and
vi. information and records showing that investments held in yield-restricted advance refunding or
defeasance escrows for bonds, and investments made with unspent bond proceeds after the
expiration of the applicable temporary period, were not invested in higher-yielding investments.
d. Restrictions on Private Business Use and Private Loans.
The finance administrator shall adopt procedures that are calculated to educate and inform the
principal operating officials of those departments, including utility departments, if any, of the city
(the "users") for which land, buildings, facilities and equipment ("property") are financed with
proceeds of tax-exempt bonds about the restrictions on private business use that apply to that
property after the bonds have been issued, and of the restriction on the use of proceeds of tax-
exempt bonds to make or finance any loan to any person other than a state or local government
unit. In particular, following the issuance of bonds for the financing of property, the Finance
Administrator shall provide to the users of the property a copy of this compliance policy and other
appropriate written guidance advising that:

corporations, natural persons engaged in trade or business activity, and the United States of
America and any federal agency, as a result of ownership of the property or use of the property
under a lease, management or service contract (except for certain "qualified" management or
service contracts), output contract for the purchase of electricity or water, privately sponsored
research contract (except for certain "qualified" research contracts), "naming rights" contract,
"public-private partnership" arrangement, or any similar use arrangement that provides special
legal entitlements for the use of the bond-financed property;
ii. under section 141 of the Code, no more than 10% of the proceeds of any tax-exempt bond issue
(including the property financed with the bonds) may be used for private business use, of which
no more than 5% of the proceeds of the tax-exempt bond issue (including the property financed
with the bonds) may be used for any "unrelated" private business use-that is, generally, a
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1-57
private business use that is not functionally related to the governmental purposes of the bonds;
and no more than the lesser of $5,000,000 or 5% of the proceeds of a tax-exempt bond issue
may be used to make or finance a loan to any person other than a state or local government
unit;
iii. before entering into any special use arrangement with a nongovernmental person that involves
the use of bond-financed property, the user must consult with the finance administrator,
provide the finance administrator with a description of the proposed nongovernmental use
arrangement, and determine whether that use arrangement, if put into effect, will be consistent
with the restrictions on private business use of the bond-financed property;
iv. in connection with the evaluation of any proposed nongovernmental use arrangement, the
Finance Administrator should consult with nationally recognized bond counsel to the City as may
be necessary to obtain federal tax advice on whether that use arrangement, if put into effect,
will be consistent with the restrictions on private business use of the bond-financed property,
and, if not, whether any "remedial action" permitted under section 141 of the Code may be
taken by the city as a means of enabling that use arrangement to be put into effect without
adversely affecting the tax-exempt status of the bonds that financed the property; and
v. the finance administrator and the user of the property shall maintain records of such
nongovernmental uses, if any, of bond-financed property, including copies of the pertinent
leases, contracts or other documentation, and the related determination that those
nongovernmental uses are not inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of the bonds that
financed the property.
e. Records to be Maintained for Tax-Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the city that, unless otherwise permitted by future IRS regulations or other
guidance, written records (which may be in electronic form) will be maintained with respect to each
bond issue for as long as those bonds remain outstanding, plus three years. For this purpose, the
bonds include refunding bonds that refund the original bonds and thereby refinance the property
that was financed by the original bonds. The records to be maintained are to include:
i. the official Transcript of Proceedings for the original issuance of the bonds;
ii. records showing how the bond proceeds were invested, as described in ci above;
iii. records showing how the bond proceeds were spent, as described in cii above, including
purchase contracts, construction contracts, progress payment requests, invoices, cancelled
checks, payment of bond issuance costs, and records of "allocations" of bond proceeds to make
reimbursement for project expenditures made before the bonds were actually issued;
iv. information, records and calculations showing that, with respect to each bond issue, the City
was eligible for the "small issuer" exception or one of the spending exceptions to the arbitrage
rebate requirement or, if not, that the rebate amount, if any, that was payable to the United
States of America in respect of investments made with gross proceeds of that bond issue was
calculated and timely paid with Form 8038-T timely filed with the IRS, as described in ciii, civ and
cv above; and
v. records showing that special use arrangements, if any, affecting bond-financed property made
by the city with nongovernmental persons, if any, are consistent with applicable restrictions on
private business use of property financed with proceeds of tax-exempt bonds and restrictions on
the use of proceeds of tax-exempt bonds to make or finance loans to any person other than a
state or local government unit, as described in 4 above.
The basic purpose of the foregoing record retention policy for the city's tax-exempt bonds is to
enable the city to readily demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of any tax-exempt bond issue that
the city has fully complied with all federal tax requirements that must be satisfied after the issue
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies 1-58
date of the bonds so that interest on those bonds continues to be tax-exempt under section 103 of
the Code.
f. Identification and Remediation of Potential Violations of Federal Tax Requirements for Tax-Exempt
Bonds.
i. So long as any of the Issuer’s tax-exempt bond issues remain outstanding, the finance
administrator will periodically consult with the users of the issuer’s bond-financed property to
review and determine whether current use arrangements involving that property continue to
comply with applicable federal tax requirements as described in these compliance procedures.
This may be accomplished, for example, by periodically meeting with users, providing
questionnaires to users about current use arrangements, or adopting other protocols
reasonable calculated to ensure compliance with applicable federal tax requirements on a
continuing basis. This periodic review may be scheduled, for example, at or before the times
that the Issuer is required to file with Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board the annual
financial information and operating data pursuant to the Issuer’s undertaking, if any, to provide
continuing disclosure with respect to outstanding bond issues.
ii. If at any time during the life of an issue of tax-exempt bonds, the Issuer discovers a violation of
federal tax requirements applicable to that issue may have occurred, the finance administrator
will consult with bond counsel to determine whether any such violation actually has occurred
and, if so, take prompt action to accomplish an available remedial action under applicable
Internal Revenue Service under the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described under
Notice 2008-31 or other future published guidance.
g. Education Policy with Respect to Federal Tax Requirements for Tax-Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the city that the finance administrator and his or her staff, as well as the principal
operating officials of those departments of the city for which property is financed with proceeds of
tax-exempt bonds should be provided with education and training on federal tax requirements
applicable to tax-exempt bonds. The city recognizes that such education and training is vital as a
means of helping to ensure that the city remains in compliance with those federal tax requirements
in respect of its bonds. The city therefore will enable and encourage those personnel to attend and
participate in educational and training programs offered by, among others, the Washington
Municipal Treasurers Association and the Washington Finance Officers Association with regard to
the federal tax requirements applicable to tax-exempt bonds.

Renton Results
Introduction
Renton Results began as the City of Renton’s budget framework and performance improvement initiative that originated
in 2007. Our intent has been to clearly inform the community of the various services provided by the city, the costs of those
services, and the results of our efforts. The purpose was also to inform policy decisions and provide transparency and
accountability to our community.
Since then, the Renton Results effort has expanded beyond data collection to include organizational elements such as High
Performance Organization (HPO) development, Lean Six Sigma and process improvement, Results Based Accountability
(RBA), inclusive facilitation and engagement, and more. These elements are designed to equip and empower employees,
at all levels, to bring necessary change and innovation to their service of both internal and external customers. As the
business plan goals have changed over time, so has the focus of the Renton Results effort, demonstrating the city’s ability
to be responsive and resilient through change and our commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
How are we doing?
In the following pages you’ll see the metrics gathered by programs that may demonstrate their productivity and/or
effectiveness. While data alone cannot offer a complete picture of each program, it can help tell the story of the city’s
efforts to serve the community while reflecting the impact of events or circumstances over time.
Who is involved in Renton Results?
All levels of staff are involved in identifying and/or tracking performance measures and data.
City Goals
The Renton City Council adopts a six-year strategic plan to focus city efforts on the direction of the city’s vision to be the
center of opportunity in the Puget Sound Region where families and businesses thrive.
The city’s mission statement identifies the following goals towards which all city operations, in partnership and
communication with residents, businesses, and schools are aligned and dedicated to:
Provide a safe, healthy, vibrant community.
Promote economic vitality and strategically position Renton for the future.
Support planned growth and influence decisions to foster environmental sustainability.
Build an inclusive informed city with equitable outcomes for all in support of social, economic, and racial justice.
Meet service demands and provide high quality customer service with measurable outcomes.
The complete Business Plan that includes the vision, mission, objectives, desired results, and the strategies being used to
work toward and achieve these outcomes can be found on the City of Renton website.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Renton Results - Framework 2-1
City Service Areas
The city’s budget, through the Renton Results framework, is the mechanism in place to ensure the work performed and the
services provided by the city is aligned with the city’s vision, mission, and business plan goals. Because city departments
perform a wide variety of work, often partnering with other departments, the true cost of these services can be difficult to
identify in a traditionally presented budget, by fund and/or department, which requires citizens to piece together the
overall cost.
To solve this problem, we prepare our budget in a manner that allows us to present the full cost of the services provided
within each of our six service areas. Per our adopted 2025-2026 budget (operating plus capital):
Safety and Health: Multiple departments operate over 20 different programs in support of this city service area.
Program examples include but are not limited to: police administration; patrol operations; investigations; special
operations; electronic home detention; city attorney prosecution; emergency management; building inspection;
code compliance; court services probation; business licensing; community development; and human services.

examples include but are not limited to: public works administration; airport operations; transportation operations
engineering; transportation systems administration; building and mobility network; transit
coordination/transportation demand management; and street maintenance.
Utilities and Environment: Multiple departments operate nearly 30 different programs in support of this city
service area. Program examples include but are not limited to: utility systems administration; development

How much do these services cost per person annually?
The chart below shows a comparison of costs per person at the 2025-2026 adopted service levels by city service area.
The total adopted cost in 2025-2026 is about $2,360 - $2,376 per person based on current population count of 108,800.

Renton Results - Framework 2-3
Resource allocation by City Service Area versus traditional budget
Renton Results program expenses are presented by city service area as consolidated costs across departments and funds.
Within Renton Results, we have adjusted for transfers and inter-fund transactions where double counting occurs in
traditional “fund” based budgeting. As a result, the dollar amounts for Renton Results and the traditional budget are not
the same.
For example, the costs of the city’s internal service funds are shown under the “Internal Support” city service area and
are also included in the direct service areas by those departments that use these internal services. To compensate for
this, we are deducting the amount that has been accounted for in direct services at the bottom-line level to show the
net operating and capital budget only in the Renton Results section.

Desired Results - Strategies - Key Performance
Indicators - Metrics/Measures - Targets
As described earlier, the city service areas are broad in nature and are supported by a multitude of city programs across
numerous city departments.
The following pages will provide summarized information for each of our city service areas. Some of the terms you will
see are defined below.
Desired Results
Each city service area is best defined by the associated “I want” statement or the desired results.
Safety and Health: I want a safe and healthy community.
Representative Government: I want a responsive and responsible government.
Livable Community: I want access to high quality facilities, services and public resources that enrich the lives
of everyone in the community.
Mobility: I want safe and efficient access to all desired destinations, now and in the future.
Utilities and Environment: I want to live, learn, work, and play in a clean and green environment with
reliable, affordable utility services.
Internal Support: I want city departments to have the means to operate efficiently and effectively in a safe
and sustainable manner.
Strategies
Strategies answer the question: “How does the city plan to work toward and achieve these desired results?” You will
find these listed above each of the summarized performance measure sections of the city services.
This visual representation of the Safety and Health City Service Area, for example, illustrates the relationship between the
defined strategies and reaching the desired result. Programs within this service area are aligned with these strategies.
Promote safety, health, and security through effective communication and service delivery.

Renton Results - Overview 2-5
Key Performance Indicators
Program key performance indicators are tools put into place by the program managers and staff and reviewed by the
administrators and the Executive Services Organizational Development Division to assure alignment of efforts across the
departments. These are typically a higher level of measurement, often representative of multiple departments and/or
programs, and used as the primary metric that help determine the achievement of the desired result.
Metrics/Measures
Program metrics/measures are also tools put into place by the program managers and staff that further reflect the
results of the work performed or service provided. These are often at a more focused level and department or program
specific. As stated before, not all work processes are captured within Renton Results but rather program
metrics/measures are select points of data that represent the work performed in a way that can be a useful illustration
of effectiveness or impact when tracked and monitored.
Targets
Program targets are a guideline or goal for each program metric/measure. We work hard to communicate that targets
are not to be used as a “hammer” but rather as a standard which staff can strive to achieve within the framework of
their resources. There are many factors that may influence the results for programs such as weather, the economy, staff
turnover and demand.
Conclusion
Renton Results is the framework of our budget process that allows for transparent, informed, data-driven, and thoughtful
consideration in the allocation of our resources. It allows decision makers to see the cost of services in a meaningful
way and allows program prioritization and resource allocation to be based on the priorities established by the city’s
vision, mission, and goals. In addition, the Renton Results effort seeks to develop and support endeavors that will enable
the city to quickly identify and respond to opportunities for improvement in processes and service delivery. In 2023 a
project involving all departments began to reevaluate our key performance indicators, metrics/measures, targets, and
tools utilized to capture the data. This will ensure the availability, accuracy, transparency, and value of the information
provided to illustrate program and/or service effectiveness in achieving the desired results.

City Service Area: Safety and Health Programs, Resources and Results
Programs/services that support the City Service Area of Safety and Health have provided metrics/measures ("Results") to indicate the outcomes of their efforts. Each
metric is unique - some are simply counts of data points, others are more qualitative indicating customer satisfaction, and many intend to show efficiency and
effectiveness. It should be noted for those that are marked "no data" indicate a metric for which information is not available. This could be due to a number of
reasons including changes in staffing, programs and/or surveys not taking place (due to Covid-19 or other impacting circumstances), and/or tools and technology not
available to collect the data. These metrics remain in this report as it is the intent of the program to provide the data when possible.
Desired Result: I want a safe and healthy community.
Strategies Renton is using to work toward and achieve the desired results:

Community and Economic Development
Mission
Enhance the vitality and livability of the Renton community by promoting a prosperous economy and quality neighborhoods
through economic development, sound urban planning, and streamlined land use regulation.
Core Businesses and Services
The department of community and economic development (CED) are the stewards of Renton’s community vision. The
department initiates and leads economic development, land use planning and permitting, development engineering, and
development services, which includes the building division and code compliance. CED oversees all aspects of the development
process, while equitably working with residents, the business community, and other community organizations to enhance
the economic prosperity, vitality, and livability for the Renton community.
Coordination and collaboration amongst the four CED divisions, economic development, planning, development engineering
and development services, are essential, as each division has an important role to play in achieving the vision, mission, and
goals of the city. CED plays a leadership role in the fulfillment of a significant number of the city's business plan goals and
action items. Most of the five business plan goals are directly related to the work of CED's programs.

to planning for capital improvement projects and grant applications.
Remove vacant parks planning and natural resources director position and reallocate operating budget to offset
additional budget needs for the following new positions:
o Add a recreation supervisor to support the restructure of the parks department
o Add an associate planner
Increase funding for capital improvement projects by $7.6 million over the biennium. Investments include Northeast
Renton park, Springbrook boardwalk, World Cup Legacy Square, Southwest Renton park development, Earlington
Park renovations, Liberty Park improvements, and Edlund-Carr Road park development.

Debt Management
OVERVIEW
The City of Renton’s long-term debt consists of General ObligaƟon (GO) Bonds backed by the full faith and credit
of the city, and Revenue Bonds backed by user fee revenues. The city is in compliance with all Washington State
debt limitaƟon statutes and bond covenants. The following table represents the bond raƟngs for each type of debt
for which raƟngs are given:
Type of Bonds Issued (latest year) Standard and Poor’s
Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds AA+
Limited GO Bonds AAA
Revenue Debt
The City of Renton’s revenue debt consists of Water/Sewer Revenue Bonds and Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF)
Loans. As of January 1, 2024, there was $10.84 million in principal outstanding which are: Water/Sewer Revenue
Bonds $10.56 million and PWTF loan $272 thousand.
General ObligaƟon Debt
Under RCW 39.36.020(2), the public may vote to approve bond issues for general government purposes in an
amount not to exceed 2.5% of the value of all taxable property within the city. Within the 2.5% limit, the city
council may approve bond issues not to exceed 1.5% of the city’s assessed valuaƟon. Prior to the passage of new
legislaƟon in 1994, the statutory limit on councilmanic (non-voted or limited general obligaƟon (LTGO)) debt for
general government purposes was 0.75% of assessed valuaƟon. Another 0.75% of councilmanic debt was available
only for lease-purchase contracts (RCW 35.43.200). Now, these two components have been combined and can be
used for any municipal purpose, including using the enƟre 1.5% for bonds.
The voter approved capacity is generally referred to as unlimited tax general obligaƟon (UTGO) debt, which
requires 60% voter approval, and the elecƟon must have a voter turnout of at least 40% of those who voted in the
last state general elecƟon. With this vote, the voter approves addiƟonal property tax be levied above and beyond
the consƟtuƟonal and statutory caps on property tax.
In addiƟon to these general-purpose debt capacity, RCW 39.36.030(4) also allows voters to approve park faciliƟes
and uƟlity bond issues, each limited to 2.5% of the city’s assessed valuaƟon.
At the end of 2024, the city has $39.4 million limited general obligaƟon debt (council approved debt) outstanding
and an available capacity of $368.4 million. The city no longer has unlimited general obligaƟon debt outstanding
at this Ɵme and therefore has the full voter approved capacity of $1.999 billion available.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM 2025-2030
CITY OF RENTON
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-1
Capital Investment Program Overview
A Capital Investment Program (CIP) is a multi-year plan for the acquisition, expansion, or rehabilitation of land,
buildings, and other major infrastructure over a six-year period, and beyond. The plan reflects expected start and
completion dates, estimated costs, prioritization and proposed financing for the city’s capital investment priorities.
The CIP plan is reviewed and updated biennially factoring in availability of resources, changes in city policy and
community needs, unexpected emergencies and events, and changes in cost and financial strategies. The CIP
incorporates City Council priorities, long-range community objectives, and projects that improve city operational
efficiency.
A multi-year CIP approved by City Council does not represent a financial commitment nor authorize and
guarantee funding for capital projects contained in the program. Rather, the CIP is a planning document that
allows the assessment of financial resources, costs, and community needs. Because of the complex, multi-year
nature of capital projects and the six-year duration of the program, assumptions within the CIP are subject to
change. It is common for community needs, project costs and timing, and the number of resources to support
the CIP projects to evolve with time. The CIP should be viewed as a broad road map that guides Council’s future
funding decisions rather than a set of concrete commitments. In concert with the CIP, the biennial budget is the
mechanism by which City Council provides financial resources to execute capital projects identified in the CIP.
While the CIP provides direction to the administration about what to include in the budget, the city’s ability to
ultimately appropriate funds to support CIP projects depends on the City’s forecasted financial health.
As the biennium progresses, some projects become higher priorities while others are delayed, depending on a
variety of circumstances. In some instances, additional funding becomes available from cost savings on other
projects, third party funding (grants, interlocal agreements), or when existing capital projects are carried over
into the new fiscal year due to scheduled delays. In these circumstances, the budget can be amended and city
council, in coordination with city administration, take action to approve specific projects and adjust the schedule
for existing projects.
Not all of the city’s capital spending is included in the six-year CIP. Operating equipment purchases and
replacements, such as mobile equipment, are financed through the equipment replacement reserve revolving fund
or through systematic replacements in the operating budget. Similarly, small projects for operating facilities, such
as recreation centers, senior activities center, and City Hall, and IT-related purchases such as computer
replacements have been incorporated into internal service charges and funded with operating budget since 2011.
Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA)
Pursuant to RCW 36.70A, The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that Renton’s
Comprehensive Plan include a Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) element. A component of the Capital Facilities Plan (CFP)
element is a Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The GMA Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) requirement is to
establish a funding plan that identifies and prioritizes the capital needs within reasonably expected available
funding sources. It assures that local governments plan for capital facilities as community needs change over time.
The 2025-2030 Six-Year CIP represents the multi-year capital construction and investment program for citywide
capital projects to comply with the six-year requirement. In addition, the transportation-specific portion of the CIP
represents the city’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), another planning document required by the
GMA. The TIP is updated annually, adopted by the City Council, and ultimately filed with the Washington State
Department of Transportation.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-2
City Council Goals
It is the city’s responsibility to properly plan, design, construct,
and maintain capital assets and facilities to ensure they are safe,
long-lasting, and provide a welcoming and usable space for
generations of use. As such, all proposals to the capital
investment program are evaluated to ensure they align with
council’s adopted business plan goals to:
Provide a safe, healthy and vibrant community.
Promote economic vitality and strategically positionRenton for the future.
Support planned growth and influence decisions to
foster environmental sustainability.
Build an inclusive, informed and hate-free city with
equitable outcomes for all in support of social,economic, and racial justice.
Meet service demands and provide high-quality
customer service.
Operating Costs
Capital projects that increase the number of facilities or
expand existing facilities can impact ongoing operating costs
for the city. Maintenance and operations (M&O) costs
associated with proposed capital projects are included with
each project summary page in the plan. These ongoing costs
are updated regularly and continually inform updated six-year
forecasts and operating budget proposals. Operating budget
increases in non-General Funds are supported by those funds.
All operating costs presented in this plan should be considered
as preliminary and are subject to change. Ongoing costs may
include expenses such as utilities, minor maintenance and
repairs, labor/personnel, supplies and materials.
What belongs in a CIP?
The City of Renton is responsible for
maintaining a wide variety of capital
assets, including public and recreation
facilities such as City Hall, Don Persson
Renton Senior Activity Center, Renton
Community Center, and Henry Moses
Aquatic Center, among other buildings
where city business is conducted. The
city also owns and operates the
Maplewood Golf Course and Renton
Municipal Airport which require
infrastructure improvements and is
responsible for public streets,
transportation corridors, and city parks.
The city must also ensure public water
systems are in place to provide clean
drinking water to city residents and
visitors, and stormwater and sanitary
sewer systems are in place to collect
wastewater for treatment and safe
disposal.
The CIP includes projects and plans
identified in the city’s capital facilities
element (CFE) and those which meet
the following criteria:
Large scale renovation, replacement,
and major maintenance of existing
facilities over $50,000
A useful life generally greater than
five years for new assets; increases
the useful life of an existing asset;
increases or maintains minimum
level of service (LOS) of an existing
asset
New and expanded physical facilities
or assets including the study,
planning, and design phases
System-wide or subarea studies and
planning efforts
The acquisition of new capital
facilities or assets
The purchase of major pieces of
equipment which are not identified
in the equipment rental/reserve
fund; or require multiple-year
financing
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-3
Minor Maintenance & Operation (M&O) Costs:
While major maintenance and renovation projects are contained within the CIP, minor maintenance is funded
through the operating funds. Proposals for CIP project funding shall include the estimated future M&O cost, to
provide full cost disclosure. Unforseen M&O is typically smaller in scale/cost and refers to more urgent short-term
maintenance repairs to ensure vital city assets remain operational. Any M&O costs anticipated to be incurred in
the upcoming biennium should be included in operating budget proposals for funding consideration.
Project Types
The Capital Investment Program (CIP) encompasses a variety of initiatives geared towards enhancing,
expanding, and preserving the city’s infrastructure and facilities. For the purposes of the CIP, projects are
classified as one of the following project categories:
Acquisition: procurement of new assets or properties which may include purchasing land for parks,
acquiring buildings or equipment and technology for municipal operations.
Development: construction or expansion of a new public facility or public infrastructure.
Major Maintenance: repairs, upgrades, or replacements of infrastructure and components over $50,000.
System Preservation: non-recurring rehabilitation of a public facility or public infrastructure.

Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-4
Funding Sources
The Capital Investment Program
(CIP) incorporates a variety of
funding sources to pay for capital
projects. These funding sources
vary in restrictiveness, ranging
from sources that may only be
used for a specific project to
sources that can essentially be
used for any project. Many
projects utilize multiple funding
sources over the six-year span of
this CIP. All funding sources
presented in this CIP should be
considered preliminary. The city
will reevaluate all funding sources
each year and if they have changed
significantly from what is assumed
in the CIP, the project mix for that
particular year may need to be
reevaluated as part of the city’s
biennial budget process.
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
Washington state authorizes cities to levy a tax on the sales of real estate, both residential and commercial.
City of Renton levies a Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) at the maximum allowed by law – 0.5%. All cities and
counties may levy a quarter percent tax, described as “the first quarter percent of the real estate excise tax” or
“REET 1”. Cities and counties planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) have the authority to levy a
second quarter percent tax (“REET 2”). The REET revenue is restricted by law and can only be used for capital
projects that are identified in the city’s Capital Investment Program, as well as some maintenance costs but the
annual amount permitted for such purposes is limited.
State law restricts REET 1 funds to the following uses:
• Planning, acquisition, construction, re-construction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation or improvement
of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic
water system and storm and sanitary sewer systems.
• Planning, construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation or improvement of parks and recreation
facilities; law enforcement facilities, fire protection facilities; trails; libraries; administrative facilities,
judicial facilities, river flood control projects and technology infrastructure that is integral to the capital
project.
State law restricts REET 2 funds to the following uses:
• Planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement
of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic
water systems, storm, and sanitary sewer systems.
• Planning, construction, reconstruction, repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-5
Mitigation and Impact Fees
Mitigation and impact fees are collected, per the Renton Municipal Code, to offset city costs associated with
serving the increase in population from new development. The revenue from these fees is unpredictable and
can only be used to fund facilities, such as roads, schools, and parks, that are directly associated with the new
development. This CIP includes revenues from mitigation and impact fees as a source of project funding for
various capacity-building projects.
Grants/Contributions
The city actively pursues outside funding sources, such as federal, state, and county grants, and private
donations. Grants provide funding primarily for transportation projects that improve the capacity or traffic flow
of major corridors in the region. Grants are also available for parks, facility improvements, airport and utility
projects.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are, for many cities, the primary source of revenue. Most of a city’s property tax revenue comes
from its general fund levy, often referred to as the “regular” property tax levy. These revenues are unrestricted
and may generally be used for any lawful governmental purposes. The city’s property taxes are used to partially
pay for parks, transportation, and general government capital investments.
Sales Tax
Sales tax is imposed on the sale of most goods and some services. This tax is remitted to the State by businesses
and in turn, the State provides the city with a portion of this revenue monthly. The total sales tax rate is 10.3
percent in Renton and the city receives 0.85 percent of this rate.
B&O Taxes
The city implemented the Business and Occupation (B&O) tax on January 1, 2016, and is based on gross receipts
of a business. Businesses with $500,000 or higher annual gross receipts are required to pay B&O tax. B&O
taxes are unrestricted and used to partially pay for transportation and general governmental capital
investments.
Interest
The city invests excess cash in an investment portfolio which consists of the Local Government Investment Pool
(LGIP), Certificate of Deposits, agency bonds and treasury notes. Interest earnings for each fund are allocated
based on fund balance. Interest revenues are used to partially pay for Municipal Facilities, Parks, and
Transportation capital investment projects.
User Fees
Enterprise funds rely on utility user fees, golf course fees and airport rental fees to fund infrastructure
improvements, maintenance and replacement.
2025/2026 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-6
Prioritization
CIP prioritization provides a process for the city to discuss, assess and rank capital investment projects based on
its business plan and most critical needs and then align those needs with available funding. The process is
developed in a way that is versatile enough to address a full range of infrastructure projects depending on the
city’s needs.
The method starts by looking at new and existing projects to get an understanding of project details, determine
the project’s relevancy and assess the sense of urgency to complete the project. The essential step here is for the
city to understand which items are a priorty and then determine what funds are available to meet those needs.
Staff recommendations first consider the following strategies when deciding on which projects to move forward
with in the CIP. These strategies will help deliver the most critical list of projects that are responsive to the
current situation, factoring in any uncertainty around current economic conditions.
1. Designate funding to preserve existing capital infrastructure, public health, safety or mission critical
programs or operations. The city is largely obligated to maintain existing service levels before investing in
non-essential new construction; therefore, maintenance on existing capital assets is a major factor in
prioritization. Additionally, any project that requires immediate attention or remedy and includes city
services for the protection of community safety and health for persons and property are paramount.
2. Consider implementing projects that identify future anticipated grants or utilize highly restricted
funding sources. To defray the cost of general city funds needed, projects deemed eligible and likely to
receive grant resources or utilize restricted resources will be considered higher priority, assuming the
project is in alignment with and meets the objectives of city adopted plans.
3. Combine infrastructure, utility, or other like projects. Projects that complement or entwine one anotherto save on funding, inconvenience, or inflation in the future could yield a higher prioritization than the
individual weighting system for each project. A critical strategy is to look for areas that can work on both
sides of the infrastructure system – surface infrastructure and utilities – and provide cost benefits to both
aspects of the infrastructure system.
4. Identify non-traditional solutions to move key projects forward. Using careful strategy and innovation,
staff will have a comprehensive understanding of project needs and uncover core objectives from a
priority standpoint to ensure the project is right-sized and maximizes available resources.
5. Potentially defer projects and reprioritize funding if high inflation continues. Projects that are impacted
by permitting delays, construction delays or bids exceeding budgets will be evaluated to determine
whether to defer these projects to future years. Focus will remain on what needs to be completed for
critical operations and safety if inflation necessitates project cuts.

Capital Investment Program - Citywide Narrative 5-7
Consistent with the city’s adopted business plan, the capital project prioritization then incorporates six key areas
weighted according to their primacy:

Finance will monitor the evolving economic conditions to inform policy decisions, with a particular focus on
inflation and revenues. It is important to note that the CIP is developed while the 2025-2026 operating budget is
also being developed. The CIP and the operating budget are intertwined and changes to one document may
result in changes to the other. This is particularly true as projections for revenue such as sales tax, REET and one-
time monies are identified throughout both processes.

panels and transformers. If a transformer or an electrical panel fails, all equipment on that service will
shut down until power is restored. If the main transformers fail, city hall would have to be closed, and all
employees sent home since there would be no power other than to the IT server room and some police
department equipment.
Operating Cost Impact: This project is anticipated to have no impact on operating costs since it will not
change current facility operations.

Springbrook Boardwalk Replacement
Project Summary: The Springbrook Trail Boardwalk provides pedestrian access through the 110-acre
Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank. In 2023, approximately 100 linear feet of the
boardwalk was destroyed by fire. This damaged section of the boardwalk was demolished and removed,
and the disturbed existing footings are unsuitable to use in rebuilding. The city is working to ensure the
design, permitting, and repair of this feature meet all requirements necessary to comply with the
Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank protections.
Project Benefit: Repairing the damaged boardwalk will safely reconnect access to this highly utilized
regional trail. The boardwalk (rather than an on-grade trail) allows for full function of the wetland.
Operating Cost Impact: None.

Earlington Park Renovation
Project Summary: This project would improve and expand recreation facilities available to the West Hill
neighborhood by renovating the park's existing sports court and improving drainage and turf within the
existing field. These improvements are currently in the running for a $1.1M (no match) COAF RCO grant.
Additional expressed desires for the park from community engagement include exercise stations and site
furnishing improvements, that while not all eligible under the COAF grant, could be eligible for future
grants.
Project Benefit: Earlington Park is the only park within Renton's West Hill planning area/neighborhood.
The park is located within a census tract (#53033026003, Tract 260.03) which has the city's highest
population density, highest percentage of children (30% under the age of 18), high percentage of BIPOC
residents, high percentage of renters (78%), and has a moderate size of residents living below the poverty
level according to the 2020 Census. This project would provide a major boost in equitable park facilities
access.
Operating Cost Impact: The improvements to the field, court, and furnishings would lower operating costs currently needed for piecemeal repairs and maintenance of components that are reaching their
lifespan.

Cedar River Park Expansion Acquisition and Redevelopment
Project Summary: Funding will support acquisition of an approximately 12.5-acre parcel directly adjacent
to Cedar River Park. In alignment with the Tri-Park Master Plan and Parks, Recreation, and Natural Area
Plan, this parcel provides the opportunity to expand recreational offerings and opportunities for park
programming, including three to four multiuse sports fields, pathways, support amenities, and potential
water access.
Project Benefit: These renovations would help support existing and future recreation programming
needs including: team sports and tournament style play, community gathering, and passive recreation.
Additionally, acquiring and repurposing the parcel provides unique opportunities to conserve habitat and
enhance ecological function of the adjacent Cedar River, which is home to some of the best remaining
salmon habitat in the region.
Operating Cost Impact: Acquiring and developing this parcel as a park property will increase operating costs. However, there is also opportunity to generate revenue from these fields through rentals and
events.

Coulon Park Improvements
Project Summary: Essential renovations for Coulon Park. Priority/Schedule: 2024 ‐ swim beach
approach ($485K); 2027 & 2028 ‐ eastrail pedestrian entrance ($455K), shoreline/bulkheads ($115K),
overwater structures ($570K), swim beach ($560K) and irrigation A/E construction documents ($40K),
pathways/parking lot ($525K for two years) and irrigation sleeving construction ($20K); irrigation
construction ($840K for two years); 2029 ‐ eastrail pedestrian entrance ($505K) and
shoreline/bulkheads, including swim beach construction ($4.71M total); 2030 ‐ overwater structures
construction ($3.03M).
Project Benefit: Coulon is Renton's most heavily used park. According to Placer AI, in the past 12
months it has had more than 350,000 visitors, many of whom visited more than once, with an average
visit time of 68 minutes. Because of it's heavy use, regular assessments and renovation projects are
needed to keep it safe, functioning, and beautiful. Coulon Park is not located within an underserved
neighborhood of the city, therefore it rarely scores well for state grant equity criteria, especially for
recreation grants. City funds are often needed for renovations at this regional park.
Operating Cost Impact: Reduce operating costs involved with piece‐meal repairs and maintenance.

Playground Renovations
Project Summary: Playground equipment and surfacing replacements based on condition, intensity of
use/risk of damage, and age. The typical lifespan of playground equipment is about 15 years.
Priority/Schedule: 2025 ‐ Maplewood ($210K); 2027 ‐ Highlands ($250K), Highlands skate infrastructure
($350K), Windsor Hill ($350K), Glencoe ($185K), Jones ($250K), Kennydale Lions ($260K); 2028 ‐
Heritage ($370K), Burnett ($255K); 2029/2030 ‐ Meadowcrest ($1.61M). Costs are estimated based on
square foot costs of recent playgrounds.
Project Benefit: Playgrounds serve as young people's initial encounters with the public park system,
influencing their future engagement with parks. As the most heavily utilized components within a park,
and the element used by one of the most vulnerable populations, playgrounds necessitate strict safety
measures. Replacing equipment ensures these areas remain functional and safe. In playground
replacement projects, the city aims to have components with a variety of challenges suited to diverse
age and ability groups, facilitating progressive skill development.
Operating Cost Impact: Equipment replacement cuts down on the regular operational material and
labor costs involved with replacing individual components that have failed.

Trails and Bicycle Master Plan
Project Summary: Update to the 2019 Trails and Bicycle Master Plan which expires in January 2026. In
order to maintain grant eligibility (parks and trails), the plan is required to be updated and certified every
six years (city received a 1-year extension in 2022); the city also uses the plan to obtain transportation
grants. The planning process includes extensive public outreach to meet public need and demand for the
non-motorized network.
Project Benefit: A current, state certified plan is required for grant application eligibility. As regional trails
and bicycling infrastructure become developed and utilized for traditional transportation infrastracture,
and technologies such as e-bikes grow in popularity and use, an update to this plan will help position
Renton to meet changing needs and participate in the process. Additionally, trails and cycling
infrastructure are proven economic generators and this master plan update can help Renton strategize
around those opportunities.
Operating Cost Impact: Development of this plan will help provide a strategy for managing operating costs across the current and future trail and bicycle facility network.

Sam Chastain / South Lake Washington Trail
Project Summary: A waterfront trail connecting Cedar River Trail Park to the existing paved trail to Gene
Coulon Memorial Beach Park through a series of over-water and on-grade trails along south Lake
Washington. With the Eastrail corridor trail extension, this project would be a vital segment of a regional
trail.
Project Benefit: Connecting these parks and tourism nodes would greatly expand recreational
opportunities and better leverage one of the city's great assets: Lake Washington. Having a trail that
connects into a larger regional system would further expand existing tourism draw bringing in visitors
who can arrive on bike or foot thereby decreasing the amount of vehicular congestion in the city's busiest
park. This new trail would connect a lower-income, higher-renter, more diverse census tract to Coulon
Park resulting in achieved city equity goals and higher likelihood for competitive state and federal grants.
Operating Cost Impact: This new trail segment would lead to an increase in operating costs. However, considering the significant benefits it would bring to the Southport development, opportunities abound
for creative public/private partnerships for funding of maintenance.

Public Square Piazza
Project Summary: The Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan calls for a Master Plan for Piazza and
Gateway Parks and the proposed Festival Street. This project would coordinate with the planned
improvements to the Pavilion. Public Square will ensure the indoor outdoor connection and activity with
the Pavilion Market. The vision will include outdoor seating, stage areas, shade areas, and plantings with
trees. The Farmers Market is part of the design considerations and will benefit from the layout.
Project Benefit: Updating and modernizing Piazza and Gateway Parks is an important part of the
downtown investment and revitalization efforts. Piazza Park hosts the Renton Farmers Market, and the
master plan would prioritize maximizing the functionality of the space for that use as well as a downtown
hub and gathering space. The renovation would create a revitalized community space that offers
opportunities for events, performances, Pavilion activities, and a variety of other focused activities.
Operating Cost Impact: Maintenance and activation will require staffing and/or funds.

Structural Reviews & Repair - Park Structures (except Coulon)
Project Summary: In order to maintain city assets, structural reviews should occur at least every five
years on every major outdoor park bridge, waterwalk, retaining wall, bulkhead, pier/dock, wave breaks,
etc. Identified repairs or replacements are then designed and executed. This project includes budget for
the structural engineering reviews and an estimated amount for engineering designs and implementation
of repairs, based on structural review recommendations.
Project Benefit: Structural reviews and repairs are a significant aspect of keeping the city's outdoor park
structures safe and operating, driving public safety and quality of life in the parks throughout the city.
Operating Cost Impact: Reduction of substantial repair costs that are borne when a structural deficiency becomes a safety/emergency issue. Regular structural reviews include short-term repair
recommendations that if implemented can guard against emergency repairs.

Cedar River Boathouse Dock Replacement Phase 2
Project Summary: The city maintains a lease agreement with Renton Rowing Center (RRC) to operate the
Cedar River Boathouse and docks, offering stand-up paddle board and kayak rentals, and programs and
memberships with a fleet of rowing shells. This project replaces the second of two wooden docks,
fabricated to current over-water environmental standards. Tasks include revising the reconfiguration
plans, updating the lake study for a new Shoreline Exemption Permit, extending a permit with US Army
Corps of Engineers, and contracting for the installation of the dock.

Kennydale Beach Park Renovation
Project Summary: This project assumes the city and King County either enter into a lease agreement or
the city acquires the Kennydale Beach Park property from county. The project would include structural
repairs to the bulkhead, log boom, and pier as well as implementing ADA access features into the site as a
whole. Stuctural repairs include replacing the south bulkhead, repairing the north bulkhead, major
repairs to the log boom, and minor repairs to the pier. ADA access could be provided through a ramped
access off of the Eastrail trail and internal updates to pathways, ramps, and beach access.
Project Benefit: Maintain a well-loved waterfront park and bring the site into ADA compliance allowing
universal access to waterfront recreation benefits.
Operating Cost Impact: None. While the structural repairs would likely decrease operating costs, there may be increases in some maintenance costs associated with the ADA access approach (currently
undetermined).

SPU ROW Open Space/Dog Park Projects
Project Summary: Through community engagement, many constituents have expressed the desire for
more off-leash areas. Though not impossible, conflicts between dogs and other recreation-users
represent a challenge within existing parks. Renton has an SPU Right of Way that bisects the city, which is
currently being used for informal recreation, in particular dog-walking. This project proposes to engage
SPU to propose an agreement to allow soft surface walking trails, furnishings, small parking areas, and
linear fenced off-leash areas. The potential locations include parcels near Tiffany Park and along S 134th
on Earlington Hill.
Project Benefit: Provide specific off-leash amenities outside of existing parks (to reduce recreation/dog
conflicts) that responds to community-expressed needs, activate vacant space in the city, and partner
with SPU.
Operating Cost Impact: Increase in maintenance costs somewhat mitigated by consolidating sanctioned dog use in discrete locations, rather than having unmitigated dog use in other parks.

Park Entry Signage - Systemwide
Project Summary: New entry signs will be installed at all parks within the system over an approximate 10-
year time frame. Consistent signage throughout the system will help users identify all facilities as a City of
Renton improvement and provide users with information about park amenities.
Project Benefit: Existing park entry signage was designed and installed in the mid-1980's. The signage and
appearance is uninviting, outdated, deteriorating, and dates and ages the city's parks, trails, natural
areas, and recreational amenities. New entry signs have been installed at Philip Arnold Park, Kiwanis
Park, and the Renton Senior Center. This project will expand this first "welcome mat" to all of parks.
Operating Cost Impact: Reduction in operating costs associated with piecemeal repairs and maintenance of old wood signs.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System Replacement
Project Summary: This project will replace the the city’s current Eden (Tyler Technologies) finance‐
oriented system with a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which could potentially
support a variety of city business operations. Given this will be a multi‐year project, the city must
commence the project to align with Eden's scheduled “end‐of‐life” in 2027.
Project Benefit: Implementation of a modern ERP system would supply a cornerstone system base
and help direct the development of the city's future application architecture. The ERP would provide
robust analysis and reporting tools, and support more managable and robust integrations with
peripheral information management systems.
Operating Cost Impact: There will be operational cost for yearly maintenance and support.

City Fiber Mapping
Project Summary: Hire a third party vendor to completely inspect, document, and map the city's fiber
infrastructure. Mapping software was purchased in 2024 and city staff have begun recording new and
some existing information. Third party assistance will still be needed for a holistic record in any

records of the layout. The expense of investigating fiber location, splices, availability and ownership,
and the delays such investigation can cause becomes considerable over time. A holistic,
comprehensive map of all fiber in the city, to be updated with any changes or additions made
thereafter, will allow for faster, easier, more accurate answers to inquiries, a better understanding of
our capabilities to expand coverage, as well as availabilty of fiber for potential lease agreements with
outside entities.
Operating Cost Impact: None.

Sunset Trail
Project Summary: This project is a segment of the Sunset 900 project (project 122902). The Sunset Trail
project will serve as phase 1 and will construct the multi-use trail portion of the original project that runs
along Sunset Blvd from NE 10th St to Edmonds Avenue NE. The Sunset Trail project received grant
funding in the amount of $1,378,810 for design/ROW in 2022. Design funds have been obligated and ROW funds will be obligated in 2025. Other project improvements include a planter between the travel
lane and trail, pedestrian lighting improvements, a structural retention wall, and ADA ramps.
Project Benefit: This corridor has strong potential for non-motorized and transit usage. The Sunset area
is experiencing residential and retail growth. The Sunset Area Planned Action EIS prepared in 2011 delineated transportation needs along Sunset Blvd from N Park Dr to Monroe Avenue NE (estimated at
$33M) to help improve public safety and quality of life. The amount requested is for the local match for
federal funding that was received for the ROW phase in 2025.
Operating Cost Impact: Increasing surface roads and sidewalks will require ongoing maintenance
however existing crews will be able to sufficiently maintain. First year of landscaping maintenance is
based off of a cost per sq/ft and is estimated at $15,000/year.

Non-NBI Bridge Inspection Program (Park Access and Trails)
Program Summary: The city owns bridges located outside of the public ROW, on city owned property.
These bridges are not included in the NBI Bridge Inspection Program as they do not qualify. However,
they do serve the public and/or access for city services. These bridges should be subject to periodic
condition inspections for safety reasons. Outside of Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, there are at least 10 bridges, of which six are periodically inspected by the parks department. The remaining four bridges
are not routinely inspected.
Program Benefit: This program ensures that the condition of these city assets is being monitored sfor
afety reasons. This also enables the city to apply for FEMA Public Assistance funds for repairs should these assets be damaged from a disaster. Inspecting non-NBI bridges under one program provides cost
efficiency and ensures reporting consistency. Separating NBI from non-NBI bridges allows flexibility with
deferring inspections of non-NBI bridges should city revenues decline.
Operating Cost Impact: Does not require additional operating costs.

Major Maintenance Dredging and Shoreline Mitigation
Project Summary: This project is funded 90% by FEMA and an additional 5% by the state. The seaplane
dock and ramp saw significant sediment buildup and debris accumulation during the heavy rainfall in
February 2020. This project will also incorporate seaplane ramp work. The seaplane base launch ramp
consists of a concrete approach ramp and wood plank ramp, pilings, and bulkhead that are in need of replacement. The area along the bulkhead and around the pilings has eroded over time due to wave
action from Lake Washington. Part of this project will widen the launch ramp to accommodate newer
seaplanes.
Project Benefit: This project is necessary for preservation of the natural areas surrounding the end of
the airport by Lake Washington and the Cedar River. Preservation of these areas is important for both environmental and safety purposes.
Operating Cost Impact: Once repairs and dredging are complete, operating costs can vary dependent
upon need. When new, impacts are minimal.

Force Main Rehab - Replacement
Project Summary: The wastewater utility currently operates 5.2 miles of force mains associated with its
20 lift stations throughout the city. As the city rehabilitates lift stations, the accompanying force mains
are also upgraded for ease of maintenance and longevity of the system by adding access ports and flow
meters. Access ports will be used to clean and inspect force mains using CCTV and smart pipeline pigging
that allows measurement of wall thickness, accurate locating, and identifying the location of fittings. All
20 force mains should be inspected over the next six years which will inform future capital project needs.
Project Benefit: This program will replace and rehabilitate the force mains identified in 2016 for the 20
lift stations, starting with those in the highest need first. This project supports the city's goals of
promoting public safety and quality of life.
Operating Cost Impact: There is no operating cost impact. Existing force mains will be rehabilitated.

SW 43rd Street/Lind Avenue SW Storm System Improvements
Project Summary: SW 43rd Street has experienced a recurring flooding problem between East Valley
Road and Springbrook Creek, likely due to undersized pipes, insufficient inlet capacity, flow patterns
in upstream basin areas, and high tailwater conditions. Analysis conducted as part of the Eastside Green River Watershed Plan identified that a new storm system along Lind Avenue SW and SW 39th
Street with an upgraded outfall to Springbrook Creek would provide a solution to the flooding issue
on SW 43rd Street. This project delivers these improvements and is currently in the design stage with
construction anticipated in 2027.
Project Benefit: This project provides significant flood risk reduction benefits to SW 43rd Street, a
major arterial roadway, WSDOT T1 truck route, and one of only four roadways between I-405 and SR
516 that crosses the Green River. SW 43rd Street provides convenient access to a multitude of
businesses in the Green River Valley, and a direct route to Valley Medical Center Hospital for
emergency vehicles and residents in the Green River Valley. By reducing flood risk along this corridor,
this project supports the city's goals of economic development, public safety, and quality of life.
Operating Cost Impact: There is no significant operating cost impact. Individually, this project does
not require the addition of resources to handle the maintenance of installed facilities.

Cedar River Levee Section 205 Certification
Project Summary: This project aims to accredit with FEMA the Cedar River levees that were
constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1998. Corps certification of the levees was
discontinued in 2013. Accreditation will be realized by retrofitting the levees and floodwalls to meet current Corps and FEMA levee design standards. This project is in the permitting and design stage
with construction anticipated in 2026. All project expenses are funded by the King County Flood
Control District capital program.
Project Benefit: Without accreditation, the properties protected by the levees would have to be
remapped in the 100-year floodplain. FEMA Accreditation of the Cedar River levees and floodwalls
keeps the area protected mapped outside of the floodplain, which keeps properties protected by the
levees and floodwalls exempt from the requirement to purchase flood insurance and subject to
floodplain development regulations. Bringing the levees into compliance with current standards
elevates the level of flood protection. The project aligns with the city's goals of economic
development, public safety, and quality of life.
Operating Cost Impact: There is no significant operating cost impact. This project does not require
the addition of resources to handle the maintenance of installed facilities.

Sedimentation Facility Cleaning
Project Summary: This program covers annual sediment removal from the Madsen Creek and
Maplewood Creek sedimentation facilities. The Madsen Creek facility was originally constructed by
King County in 1974 to control sediment resulting from erosion of steep slopes in the Madsen Creek ravine and the Maplewood Creek Sedimentation Facility was constructed by Renton in 1996 in
conjunction with a fish passage channel across the Maplewood Golf Course to the Cedar River.
Funding is programmed for project management, permitting, and construction.
Project Benefit: Sediment removal from sedimentation facilities reduces the rate of sediment
deposition and loss of downstream channel capacity, which in turn reduces the risk of flooding. The
Maplewood Creek facility prevents the sediment from being deposited within the Maplewood Golf
Course during large storms and reduces the risk flooding the golf course and SR-169. The Madsen
Creek facility reduces the risk of flooding for Wonderland Estates mobile home park, Ron Regis Park,
and properties along 149th Avenue SE. This project supports the city's goals of promoting public
safety.
Operating Cost Impact: There is no operating cost impact. Facilities included in this program are not
typically maintained by the maintenance division.

Madsen Creek Improvement Project
Project Summary: This project consists of the long term alternative solution of creating a single
channel for Madsen Creek from the sediment pond to the Cedar River. This single channel would
eliminate the need for a sediment basin and a high flow bypass, and restore the natural hydrology of Madsen Creek. It would be large enough to convey all flows, allow the creation of an alluvial fan,
divert away from properties on 149th Avenue SE, and connect to the Cedar River. This phase is
contingent upon an agreement with King County, property acquisitions, and securing funding from
the King County Flood Control District.
Project Benefit: This project will reduce the risk of flooding associated with Madsen Creek at the
Wonderland Estates Manufactured Home Park, along 149th Avenue SE, and in Ron Regis Park. Flood
risk reduction benefits from the long term single channel solution will exceed those of the first
phase. Additionally, the long term solution will improve fish passage from the Cedar to Madsen
Creek. As such, this project supports the city's goal of promoting public safety and fostering
environmental sustainability.
Operating Cost Impact: If delivered, the next phase of the project may reduce operating and
maintenance costs along Madsen Creek by not needing to maintain the high flow bypass channel and
the Madsen Creek Sediment pond.

Fund 110, Hotel/Motel Fund
During the 1997 Legislative session, SSB 5867 was passed. SSB 5867 allows Washington State cities to impose an increase in the hotel/motel tax of up to 1 percent for the
purpose of increasing tourism. On October 13, 1997, the Renton City Council passed Resolution No. 3288 establishing a Hotel/Motel Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.
The committee investigated the feasibility of implementing the 1 percent tax and made a recommendation to the city council to enact this tax. The council adopted the
tax with ordinance No. 4697 on December 15, 1997. In 1998, a marketing campaign was created using these collected funds. The Renton Community Marketing
Campaign is designed to help brand Renton and communicate the community's many positive attributes as a place to do business, work, visit, learn, shop, live, play, and
stay. The stakeholders, including the Renton Chamber of Commerce, Renton Visitor's Connection, City of Renton, Renton School District, Renton Technical College, and
Valley Medical Center, launched the campaign to improve the image of Renton in the community and the region; promote Renton as a desirable location to do business,
work, learn, live, shop, and visit; recruit quality companies to Renton to help diversify the employment base by supporting city economic development initiatives;
showcase Renton stakeholders and their achievements; and leverage and creatively market Renton's assets and amenities. Under the authority of the Hotel/Motel
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee and the Renton city council, a new budget is established yearly and administered through the community and economic development.

include any state-imposed statutory assessments. Except as otherwise prohibited by law or court rule, a court with jurisdiction over the infraction may impose on a defendant a lesser penalty in an individual
case. Provided that, whenever the base penalty plus mandatory statutory assessments results in a total payment that is not an even dollar amount, the base penalty is deemed to be amended to a higher
amount which produces the next greatest even dollar total.Penalties Established by Court Rule or Specific Penalty Established by Law. This schedule does not apply to penalties established by state or local court rule or to a penalty that is established in law with a
specific amount (i.e. ordinance or statute setting a penalty equal to a specified amount rather than a penalty up to a maximum amount). To the extent a penalty scheduled herein conflicts with a state or
local court rule or a penalty that is established in law, this schedule shall be deemed preempted by the court rule or penalty established in law.

Wastewater is sent to King County South Treatment
Plant where it is treated and discharged to the
Puget Sound. The King County pass-through rate is
the charge for the treatment. For questions about
treatment, call King County at 206-477-5371.
To help protect your sewer pipes and keep them
working properly, follow these easy tips:
»Only flush toilet paper. Do not flush trash. Even
items labeled “flushable” can build up in the
sewer system and cause overflow.
»Dispose of grease in the garbage to reduce
the risk of clogged sewer pipes. When grease
is washed down the drain including a garbage
disposal, it sticks to the inside of sewer pipes
both on your property and in the streets. Over
time, it builds up and can block the entire pipe.
THE SURFACE WATER UTILITY operates and
maintains 294 miles of storm pipe, 17,690 catch
basins and structures, and 479 flow control and
water quality treatment facilities.
When rainwater flows on the ground, it may pick up
and carry pollutants into storm drains. Stormwater
runoff flows to streams and lakes and eventually
reaches Puget Sound. Help keep our lakes, rivers and Puget Sound clean by following these easy tips:
»Sweep sidewalks, patios and driveways and dispose of debris in the trash.
»Remove leaves, debris, and trash around storm
drains to prevent flooding and pollution.
»Do not dump anything into storm systems or on the ground where it can be washed
into the street storm system.
»Do not use or limit the use of fertilizers, pesticides or other chemicals that can be
washed away during rainfall.
»Wash vehicles at a commercial car wash.
