APPEAL: Planning and Development Committee Report re: Ram Short Plat Variance Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council, feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 5.

APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report regarding Planniny-&Development the Ram Short Plat Variance appeal. The Committee heard the appeal on Committee 4/23/2009. Pursuant to RMC 4-8-11 OF,the Committee's decision and Appeal: Ram Short Plat recommendation is limited to the record,which consists of,but is not limited to Variance,Varma&Ram, the Hearing Examiner's Report,the Notice of Appeal,and the submissions and V-08-123 presentation made by the parties. The subject property is a plat located on 3619 Queen Ave.NE, Renton,WA. In an earlier proceeding,the applicants Kursal Varma and Kajal Ram were granted approval for a six(6)lot short plat on the property, subject to specific conditions. One of those conditions was to remove the existing house on the subject property in order to meet the necessary setback requirements. Months thereafter,the applicants applied for two variances on the subject property: 1) from the landscaping requirements, and 2)from the minimum setback standards. The purpose of the two variances was to enable the applicants to retain the existing house as part of the six lot subdivision. After reviewing the request City staff denied both variances,finding that it failed to meet the four requisite criteria set forth in RMC 4-9-250135. The appellants appealed this decision to the Hearing Examiner. After a public hearing was held on 2/10/2009,the Hearing Examiner issued his decision on 2/24/2009, affirming the denial of the variance, and finding that the applicants failed to meet their burden to show that the City's decision was arbitrary and capricious or made in error. The appellants filed a timely appeal of the Hearing Examiner's Decision, and accordingly,appeared before the Planning and Development Committee to present their case. Having considered the comments made by and on behalf of the appellants,and having reviewed the files and evidence in this matter,the Committee makes the following recommendations to the City Council: x i 121 7 April 27, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 121 1. That the City Council finds that the Hearing Examiner did not make any error of fact or law in affirming the denial of the variance. 2. That the City Council adopt all the Findings and Conclusions set forth in the Hearing Examiner's Report dated 2/24/2009. 3. That the City Council affirms the decision made by the Hearing Examiner to deny the variance. Councilmember Parker explained that the City has development standards that need to be adhered to, and what the appellants were proposing would not work. He emphasized that City officials and staff are sensitive to citizen requests, however,decisions that are made must meet City regulations and be in the best interests for the community.

Chief Daniels stated the virus is contagious but it is preventable and that the medication Tamiflu is being used to treat sick people,but is not used to prevent the illness.

Chief Daniels reported that the King County Public Health Department has established a command center at their downtown Seattle location and is providing every-other-day briefings. He explained that the City does not have its own Public Health Department, so by design,the Fire and Emergency Services Department takes the lead during these types of situations. Emergency Management Director Needham reported that in response to the H1N1 virus,the City is following public health recommendations regarding prevention and public messaging. She stated that a link to the Public Health Department's swine flue webpage has been placed on the homepage of the City's website. Ms.Needham also reported that the City's first responders have elevated the amount of personal protective equipment used, as recommended when encountering infectious diseases in the community. She remarked that a pandemic flu element will be added to the City's continuity of operations plan. Ms.Needham outlined the Center for Disease Control's public health recommendations concerning infectious diseases as follows: 1. If you are sick stay home from work or school; 2. Seek medical care only if you are sick enough that you would normally see your healthcare provider; 3. Cover you nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze and throw the tissue in the trash after you use it; 128 May 4, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 128 4. Wash hands often with soap and water; if you do not have access to soap and water and cannot wash for at least 20 to 30 seconds,use a 60%or greater alcohol based hand sanitizer instead; 5. Avoid touching your eyes,nose, and mouth; 6. Avoid close contact with sick people. Ms.Needham stated that the influenza virus is a contagious illness,it is circulating through the community, and it is likely that there will be more cases in the future. She stated that the Public Health Department has established a hotline to answer questions regarding the H1N1 virus and it is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.to 5 p.m. at 1-877-903-KING(5464).

Council discussion ensued regarding the grant approval process,the amount of sweat equity neighborhoods must provide to receive funds,the fact that many projects for small subdivisions or neighborhood infrastructure improvements have been declined in the past,the program's merit as a method of getting neighbors to work together for the betterment of the entire community, and that the program is not just for neighborhoods that have homeowners' associations.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Streets: Potential Closure of accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Benson Rd S consider the potential closure of Benson Rd. S. for bridge replacement work over I-405 as part of the Washington State Department of Transportation I-405, I-5 to SR 169 Stage 2 -Widening and SR 515 Interchange project. Deputy Public Works Administrator-Transportation Peter Hahn introduced project coordinators Chad Brown from the Washington State Department of Transportation, and Alan Brown from the 1-405 Corridor Design-Builders team. Chad Brown explained that the project creates new northbound and southbound lanes on I-405 between SR 167 and SR 169, adds a half-diamond interchange at Talbot Rd. S., and reconstructs a portion of Benson Rd. S. He requested an 11- month full closure of Benson Rd. S. stating that closing the road will decrease construction time by half and remove traffic from the work zone,thereby minimizing disruptions to the motoring public. Alan Brown stated that the greatest benefit for closing Benson Rd. S. is the reduction in construction time from 22 months to 11 months. He reported that the proposed project schedule,without the road closure, contains five components including: 1)widening of I-405,2) a 22-month Benson Rd. S.re- construction element, 3)a new northbound on-ramp,4)a new southbound off- ramp, and 5)construction on Talbot Rd. S. He also reported that the project will begin in July 2009 and is scheduled to be completed in August 2011. 135 May 11, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 135 Mr.Brown remarked that without the proposed road closure there will be an overlap of construction occurring on Benson Rd. S. and Talbot Rd. S. He also pointed out that a significant portion of the work will occur at night and a noise variance will be requested from the City. He also remarked that closing the road .� would reduce the construction time for the new northbound ramp by six months, and for the new southbound ramp by two months. Continuing,Mr. Brown reported that a traffic modeling plan was developed using real-time data from the City of Renton and the Washington State Department of Transportation. He stated that the traffic network was investigated as far south as SR 167 and as far north as SR 169 and that the model assumes that some motorists will use alternative routes. He stated that the detour route moves traffic west on S. Grady Way, north on Talbot Rd. S. and then east on S.Puget Dr. Mr. Brown reported that the following improvements will be made in order to optimize traffic flow on the detour route: 1)implementing traffic signal optimization at eight intersections, 2)creating double right turns from eastbound S. Grady Way onto Talbot Rd. S., 3)increasing the turn-pocket from westbound S. Grady Way onto southbound Talbot Rd. S. to accommodate more vehicles, and 4)improving the double southbound turn lanes from Talbot Rd. S. to S. Puget Dr. He stated that with these traffic mitigations there will only be a two- minute delay beyond what the normal route would take. Mr.Brown also reported that other benefits that will result,but are not associated with the closure include: 1)creating a pedestrian walkway from Benson Rd. S.to Talbot Rd. S., 2) adding a radio controlled emergency access gate for efficient police and fire response, and 3) adding landscape improvements on Talbot Rd. S. He stated that public messaging will occur via i the internet, extensive media relations,business and freight outreach,meeting with the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, setting up booths at summer festivals,reacting to phone calls and emails, and through newsletter mailers. Responding to Councilmember Persson's inquiries, Chad Brown stated that there would be minimal impact to traffic during peak times if the road were to remain open. He responded that although flaggers are not allowed during peak morning and afternoon commuting times,the construction work would be occurring 24 hours per day and would have a significant impact on motorists traveling during non-peak times. Mr.Brown also responded that westbound traffic on S. Grady Way would not back up to the point that it would block left turns onto Wells Ave. S. Correspondence in opposition to the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: Marilyn J. May(Seattle);A.J.Notcho(city of residence unknown); and Rob Elliot and Vicki Dallosto(Renton). Correspondence in support of the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: Marilyn Rogers(Renton); Clint Ostler(Renton);John and Evangeline Richardson(Renton); John Summer(Renton); and Paul Scott (Renton). Correspondence citing traffic concerns regarding the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: James S.Pate(Kent); Dianne Bell (Renton); Andrew Dayton(Renton); Julie Curtis (Renton); Bob Garlough low (Renton); and Tony Olszewski(Renton). 136 May 11, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 136 Public comment was invited. Martha Duval(Renton) expressed concern regarding the proposed road closure while construction was occurring on Talbot Rd. S. She explained that although the City did a good job clearing snow and ice last winter, S. Puget Dr. is a much steeper road than Benson Rd. S. and asked what precautions the City will take to ensure the road is safe. Bill Taylor(Renton)voiced opposition to the proposed road closure. He remarked that businesses along the Duvall Ave.NE corridor are experiencing tough times and opined that those business owners would have, in retrospect, preferred 24 months of inconvenience compared to the 12 month road closure. Matt Devine(Renton),President,Victoria Park Neighborhood Association, stated that the proposed road closure will severely impact his community. He remarked that he does not believe that the proposed detour route would only add a two-minute delay to travel times. Mr.Devine also opined that the Washington State Department of Transportation does not support Renton residents and that the proposed road closure only benefits the project coordinators and not the citizens of Renton. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry,Mr. Devine stated that the Victoria Park Neighborhood Association has not voted as a board to oppose the proposed road closure. Dave McCammon(Renton)expressed support for the road closure. He stated that flaggers will be controlling traffic during the time he travels to work and that he will use an alternative route. Benjamin Yu(Renton)voiced support for the road closure. He also expressed concern for the safety of the his neighborhood located at 1100 Eagle Ridge Dr., noting that motorists traveling northbound on Benson Rd. S. may use his cul-de- sac to make a u-turn if they are not aware of the closure. He requested that additional signs warning of the road closure and"No U-Turn" signs be posted in the area. Christina Rosa(Renton) stated that she lives on Benson Rd. S. and expressed dissatisfaction with the answers she received concerning the amount of traffic back-up that will occur due to the closure. She explained that entering Benson Rd. S. from her driveway is difficult enough without the road being closed. Victor Eskenazi(Renton)requested information regarding the new on and off ramps.He remarked that closing the road will cause a greater inconvenience to commuters than to other motorists traveling during non-peak hours. He also opined that it would take longer than two minutes to travel the detour route. Pete Moss(King County) stated that Benson Rd. S. is the only practical route for bicyclists to get to Benson Hill. He asked what type of facilities and/or accommodations will be made available for bicycle commuting. Chad Brown responded that bicycle traffic was not accounted for and was assumed to be able to take the detour route. Dr. Mike Ding(Renton) expressed opposition to the road closure. He stated that an 11 month road closure will severely impact his business which is located in the vicinity of Benson Rd. S. and S.Puget Dr. He also remarked that it is unlikely that the detour route will only add an additional two minutes of travel time. Michael Drollinger(Renton) stated that more information is needed prior to making an informed decision about the proposed road closure. He opined that Benson Rd. S. should be kept open during peak commute times. Mr.Drollinger stated that the Washington State Department of Transportation has not proposed 137 May 11, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 137 viable uncongested alternate routes. He also voiced concerns about utilizing the detour route during winter months. Ray Newman(Renton)proposed opening Grant Ave. S. to through-traffic to allow residents who live in the Benson Hill area alternate access to downtown Renton. He explained that the road is now blocked,but access could be granted to ease some of the congestion that would result from construction on Benson Rd. S. Thomas Robinson(Renton)voiced opposition to the proposed road closure and also expressed concern about utilizing the detour route during the winter months. Mike Mayfarth(Renton)proposed using a system of incentives and consequences to ensure that the contractor performs the road improvements in a timely manner. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilmember Parker stated that he voted for the closure of Duvall Ave.NE surmising that the closure reduced the impact to local residents,businesses and schools, and saved millions of dollars. He remarked that he was initially supportive of the proposed Benson Rd. S. closure,yet recognized that the two projects have major differences. He pointed out that the overall time-line for the project remains the same whether the road is closed or not. He commented that utilizing flaggers for traffic control during non-peak hours is a viable alternative and that most motorists would use an alternate route to avoid construction delays. He stated that the road closure may benefit the contractor financially; however,the City's first obligation is to its citizens and businesses. Councilmember Taylor stated that economic times were better when the decision to close Duvall Ave.NE was made. He also remarked that he is inclined to be against the proposed closure due to the fact that the detour route is steep and could cause motorists trouble driving to and from their communities during the winter months. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL OPPOSE THE CLOSURE OF BENSON RD. S. CARRIED. Council President Corman explained that the construction of the added lanes and new on and off ramps is part of an overall plan for I-405 that began approximately ten years ago. He further explained that the plan calls for direct connections from I-405 to SR 167 eliminating the ramps at Rainier Ave. S., resulting in the need for new ramps at Talbot Ave. S. AUDIENCE COMMENT Howard McOmber(Renton)invited the community to attend a blood drive on Citizen Comment: McOmber— May 30,2009,from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the LDS church located at 816 Field Community Blood Drive& Ave.NE. He also requested that a townhall style meeting be conducted in the Townhall Meeting Event in Highlands to afford citizens the opportunity to discuss budget issues with City Renton Highlands officials and staff. Citizen Comment: Dideon- Scott Dideon(Renton)expressed concerns regarding the 2009 Neighborhood 2009 Neighborhood Program Grant Program. He stated that the City's budget is down ten percent this year Grants and encouraged Council and City staff to determine if this expense is critical. He remarked that spending sixty to seventy thousand dollars for neighborhood signage is roughly equivalent to$1 per citizen in Renton. 138 May 11, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 138 Mayor Law encouraged Mr. Dideon to attend budget meetings and meet with the City's Finance Director. He explained that the City has cut budgeted expenses in excess of$18 million over the past two years. Mayor Law also pointed out that the neighborhood program provides a method for the City to be involved with 53 neighborhoods representing nearly all 80,000 residents. Council President Corman further explained that the City has traditionally budgeted$50,000 for the neighborhood program and that additional scrutiny will be applied to this year's proposed projects. He also clarified that the grants are matched with time and labor,pointing out that most neighborhoods commit more time and labor than is required. He emphasized that these community volunteers tend to become volunteers for other City programs,and noted that the City received$1.3 million worth of value from volunteers last year. He remarked that it is money well spent. Citizen Comment: Flynn- Jim Flynn(Renton) stated that SB 5649 allocates$15 million of Washington Senate Bill 5649 State's Federal Energy Efficiency stimulus funding to help millions of middle- income homeowners, small businesses, and non-profit organizations retrofit their properties for energy efficiency. He stated that SB 5649 directs Washington State University to provide grants and technical assistance to neighborhood energy efficiency pilot programs throughout the state. He opined that the program is tailor made for the City's Housing Repair Assistance Program and read excerpts from the bill's Findings Section. Mr.Flynn announced that there are contractors already competing for the money and requested that Council act together with the Housing Assistance Repair Program and Renton Technical College to find ways to take advantage of the opportunities offered by SB 5649. Councilmember Parker responded that the City is already taking advantage of stimulus money. He announced that$257,988 is being accepted from Puget Sound Energy for upgrades at the 200 Mill Building.

She explained that a public hearing was held on 2/9/2009 and that tonight's hearing is a second hearing regarding zoning and is required prior to effectuating the annexation. 145 May 18, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 145 Ms. Mathias reported that the annexation site contains 142 single-family homes, approximately 35 acres containing vested projects, steep slopes, and wetlands. Reviewing the site's zoning,Ms.Mathias stated that the existing King County •••• zoning is R-4 (four dwelling units per gross acre). She stated that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as eligible for three possible low density residential zones: Resource Conservation(one dwelling unit per net 10 acres), R-1 (one dwelling unit per net acre), or R-4(four dwelling units per net acre). She noted that the proposed zoning for the area is R-4. Responding to Councilmember Persson's inquiries,Ms. Mathias confirmed that the vested projects are set at King County R-4 zoning and could result in higher densities than the City would allow. She explained that King County does not remove critical areas from their zoning calculations and allows the transfer of development rights to buildable areas. She noted that there are three separate projects vested to King County standards that must be honored within the annexation area. Public comment was invited. Rosemary Rashell(King County)inquired as to whether her address and garbage hauling service would change if annexed.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Arland"Buzz"Johnson(Renton) expressed concern regarding the proposed Citizen Comment: Johnson- annexation to the King County Library System. Annexation to King County Council President Corman stated that the issue of annexing to the King County Library System Library System ultimately lies within the hands of Renton voters. He remarked that Council is not voting to annex,rather they are voting to put the issue of annexation on the ballot. He noted that the issue will probably come up in Spring of next year, giving citizens on both sides of the issue the opportunity to promote their opinions. Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Wine remarked that the Committee of the Whole will take up the issue in June and will have to weigh the options of remaining independent and making capital investments to the existing system, or asking Renton voters if they would be interested in annexing to the King County Library System.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Fire and Emergency Services Administrator Daniels stated that this is the fifth Fire: 2009 4th of July Wrap-up year of Renton's fireworks ban and reported that there were a total of 134 incidents on the 4th of July, of which 97 were fireworks related, and of those, only 14 were priority calls. Chief Daniels stated that fireworks related damage is estimated at$10,000. He remarked that prior to the ban, damage was $73,000. He opined that the ban is working based on the lower amount of property damages and personal injuries. Fire: Fire Response at 900 Chief Daniels reported that a five-alarm fire occurred on June 30, 2009 at 900 Harrington Ave NE Harrington Ave. NE. He stated that the initial call was received at 8:01 p.m. and that the first units arrived on scene at 8:06 p.m. He reported that the first responders initially had difficulty locating the fire, but within minutes the fire intensified into a two-alarm blaze. Chief Daniels pointed out that the building r.. was still under construction and that there were no fire-stops or sprinklers to keep the fire from spreading. He remarked that it took approximately two hours to extinguish the fire, and that firefighters were on scene nearly 36 hours completing their investigation. Chief Daniels explained that the Valley Com system is technically a three-alarm system, however, because two additional strike teams were called in, it became the equivalent of a five-alarm fire. He reported that 12 engine companies, nine ladder trucks, seven medical units, 11 chief officers, and 21 support personnel, totaling 126 personnel, helped to extinguish the fire. He remarked that nearly every East Side and South King County.agency assisted with the event. Chief Daniels stated that minor damage occurred away from the fire due to hot embers landing on grass and fences. He reported that the fire was caused by the roofing operation and remarked that although there was a significant loss of property,the building to the north of the fire was saved and should be able to open nearly on schedule. Chief Daniels reported that there will be an opportunity for the community to ask questions and to provide feedback about the fire and the 4th of July event at a forum being held on July 14, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. at the Highlands Community Center. Discussion ensued regarding the amount of water per minute that was pumped on to the fire,the roofing operation as the likely cause of the fire, explosions of propane tanks stored on the roof, management and coordination of City and 'r outside agency resources, dowsing nearby rooftops in an effort to keep the fire from spreading, how claims for damages are handled,and overall appreciation for the tremendous effort of all the firefighters and support personnel involved with extinguishing the fire. 196 July 6, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 196 AUDIENCE COMMENT Pat Miller(Bonney Lake), AFSCME, Local 2170 Union President, explained that Citizen Comment: Miller- the Renton Library personnel are represented by Local 2170. Expressing Future of Renton Library concern regarding their future employment, he noted that although King Personnel County Library System (KCLS) personnel are represented by a different bargaining unit of AFSCME, they are not bound by any employment collective bargaining agreements or human resources policies granted or practiced by the City of Renton. He remarked that the opinion of the union is that these City of Renton union members will not be represented in the future and will have to accept the current bargaining agreements that KCLS has in place. He stated that according to "Exhibit-A" of the proposed interlocal agreement with KCLS, these union members will not have seniority protection or be provided with the same benefits they currently enjoy as employees of the City of Renton. He also noted that many of the equivalent positions within KCLS pay at a lower rate, with fewer benefits. Mr. Miller also pointed out that under Item 5. of the proposed interlocal agreement, the City will be responsible for, and pay all the costs to develop and construct the new Main and Highlands libraries. He remarked that there appeared to be no financial limit set. MOVED BY ZWICKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL EXTEND THE SPEAKER'S TIME. CARRIED. Continuing, Mr. Miller opined that the City of Renton and the Renton taxpayers will be at the mercy of KCLS and that there will be no end to what it will cost to upgrade and/or build new Library facilities.

(See pages 197 and 198 for further discussion on this subject.)

Council President Corman remarked that it is the intent of the Council that the current library personnel remain employed at the Renton libraries if they are annexed to KCLS. He stated that the City should take whatever precautions necessary to keep personnel in the area. He also noted that the Highlands library would likely be enlarged and not closed, if it were to become part of KCLS. Library Director Bette Anderson reported that there is a section in the proposed interlocal agreement that allows for changes or additions. She stated that KCLS could not definitively state the answer to the seniority question, as it will have to be worked out through union negotiations.

Bill Ptacek, King County Library System, stated that their 1,200 employees are represented by the same union as the Renton library staff, only through a different bargaining unit.

Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch introduced Senior Planner Laureen Nicolay. Ms. Nicolay stated that the City's fees for land use permits were recently evaluated and assessed for the first time in many years. She noted that comparisons made with other area jurisdictions related only to land use permit fees,such as variances, shoreline permits, and short plats, and that fee revisions are not proposed for building fees or public works fees. Ms. Nicolay stated that the cities included in the evaluation were Auburn, Bellevue, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Redmond,Seattle, and Tukwila. Finding that the City of Renton charges considerably less than the peer cities, she recommended that the proposed fee revisions be adopted to more adequately compensate for actual processing costs. Ms. Nicolay stated that the proposed increases are approximately 80 percent of the average fee the peer cities charge for similar services. She cited the following examples: 1) the Short Plat fee would increase from $1,000 to $1,400, 2)the Preliminary Plat fee would increase from $2,000 to$4,000, and 3)the Shoreline Permit fee would increase from $1,000 to$2,000, among other changes. Concluding, Ms. Nicolay remarked that no other peer city is charging a significant amount for annexation fees, and therefore recommended that the City's annexation fee be eliminated. Public comment was invited. Inez Petersen (Renton) opined that it was not a good enough reason to raise fees just because other jurisdictions charge more for the same services. She noted that Washington is ranked the 8th highest taxing state. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in CED: South Lake Washington accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to & Port Quendall, Local consider leveraging State funds for local revitalization financing (LRF) by Revitalization Areas establishing "revitalization areas," potentially identified as South Lake Washington and Port Quendall. Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch remarked that it is important during challenging economic times to look for innovative ways to bolster the City's economy and to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. He introduced Economic Development Director Suzanne Dale Estey. Ms. Dale Estey reported that the City has established a local LRF team consisting of staff from the Economic Development, Finance, Public Works, and the Community Services departments. She stated that in addition to City staff, consultants Jay Rogers of Berk&Associates, and Doug Levy of Outcomes by Levy are also included on the team. Ms. Dale Estey announced that a new state law entitled the Second Substitute Senate Bill 5045 was authorized this session. She stated that the intent and purpose of the legislation is to stimulate business activity, create jobs, promote efficient land use, and lower the cost of housing. She remarked that the legislation is additionally intended to assist local governments in financing local �. infrastructure as a catalyst for new development and future private investment. Ms. Dale Estey explained that LRF is a form of tax increment financing that estimates the growth of certain state and local tax revenues in a specific area. 236 August 10, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 236 She stated that these areas are referred to as revitalization areas or"RAs". She noted that LRF estimates the growth of revenues as a result of the local public improvements that have been made in that particular area. She stated that it also provides a limited amount of state funding to pay for those local public improvements as long as there is a local match, and as long as the anticipated �~ growth in state revenues equals or exceeds the state contribution. Ms. Dale Estey also noted that the public improvements must encourage private development and generate enough increase in state and local sales and use taxes, or property taxes, to meet the particular funding mechanism requirement. Ms. Dale Estey stated that the types of public improvements that can be financed using the economic development tool are roads, bridges, streetlights, sidewalks,water and sewer infrastructure upgrades, parking facilities and environmental remediation. She noted that environmental remediation may be beneficial to Renton if funding for the Quendall Terminals area is pursued. Continuing, Ms. Dale Estey reported that applications are reviewed on a first- come first-served basis and the deadline for submitting applications is 9/1/2009. She noted that $2.25 million was set aside for seven demonstration projects and $2.5 million for local governments, with awards to be in the range of$200,000 to $500,000. She estimated that with an award of$500,000, per year per project, approximately$12.5 to$15 million could be garnered through financing. She also noted that there may be a state-shared LRF tax imposed beginning 7/1/2011 for as long as the general obligation bonds have been issued. She clarified that this is not a new tax. Ms. Dale Estey outlined the steps taken prior to applying for the LRF tool as 1) develop boundaries for the revitalization areas, 2) develop a list of proposed public improvements for each revitalization area, 3) publish public notice, 4) hold a public hearing, 5) provide notice to other local governments and taxing districts and provide them an opportunity to opt out, 6) obtain letters of intent from interested developers, 7) estimate the State and local incremental tax revenues resulting from the public and private development, 8) determine the LRF rate that is needed, and 9) adopt ordinances designating revitalization areas and specifying the proposed improvements within each area. Ms. Dale Estey stated that the City has received opt-out notifications from all of the affected jurisdictions in the proposed revitalization areas. She also noted that the City has received numerous letters of support from property owners and developers. Ms. Dale Estey clarified that the revitalization areas must have contiguous lots, parcels, or parcels of land without creating islands, and that all of the proposed improvements must be located within the boundaries of the revitalization area. She also clarified that the areas cannot comprise more than 25 percent of the total assessed value for the entire city, and that the boundaries cannot be changed for the duration of the financing for the projects. Ms. Dale Estey reported that the state-shared LRF tax is an authority to impose new local sales and use tax that is credited against state sales and use tax. She emphasized that it is not an additional tax on top of the 9.5 percent sales tax. She stated that it is the use of an increment of that tax that the local government can match and then issue bonds off for a number of years. 237 August 10, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 237 She remarked that the LRF tax will cease on the earlier of when the bonds will retire or 25 years from when the tax was first imposed. She stated that the City will have to adopt an ordinance to establish the tax rate and the effective rate of that particular increment. Ms. Dale Estey pointed out that the state contribution is the lesser of$500,000 or the local match and the rate of the tax can be no greater than 6.5 percent. She noted that certain items will reduce the rate including subtracting the rates of all other local taxes credited against the state sales and use tax within the revitalization area (such as stadium taxes or lodging tax), and a .16 percentage required for performance audits. Ms. Dale Estey reported that two areas within Renton are being recommended as potential revitalization areas. She stated that one area is the South Lake Washington Area which includes the Southport/Seco Development,The Landing, Boeing surplus property just south of The Landing, and a few commercial arterial (CA) zoned areas. She stated that the other area is the Port Quendall area which includes the Hawks Landing/Pan Abode property, Barbee Mill,and the Quendall Terminals site situated between the Seahawks headquarters and Barbee Mill. For the South Lake Washington revitalization area, Ms. Dale Estey reported that the proposed public improvements include an extension of Park Ave. N. from The Landing to Southport, improvements on Garden Ave., completion of The Highlands to The Landing trail, corridor improvements along Lake Washington Blvd. N., water and sewer system upgrades, a potential parking garage, and a large project that involves bus rapid transit facilities. For the Port Quendall revitalization area, Ms. Dale Estey reported that the +r.. proposed public improvements include reconstruction and signalization improvements on Lake Washington Blvd. N. and NE 44th St., frontage improvements along Seahawks Way and Lake Washington Blvd. N., extending the May Creek Trail,a potential new reservoir and water and sewer improvements, a potential reclaimed water facility, and three to five acres of waterfront habitat restoration, public open spaces,trails, and plaza proposals along the water front at Quendall Terminals. Concluding, Ms. Dale Estey reemphasized that this involves no new taxes from a taxpayer's standpoint, and that there will be additional public process involving City residents, property owners, and local stakeholders. She remarked that pursuing economic development requires significant public infrastructure that the City cannot fund on its own. Email correspondence was acknowledged from Aaron Belenky(Renton). Mayor Law noted that Mr. Belenky was in the audience and had signed up to speak during the public comments portion of the hearing. Correspondence in support of the revitalization areas was acknowledged from Alpert International (Seattle), Century Pacific, LP (Seattle), Seco Development (Renton), Seattle Seahawks Virginia Mason Athletic Center(Renton),The Landing (Dallas,TX), Conner Homes(Bellevue), and the Renton Chamber of Commerce(Renton). Public comment was invited. Dan Mitzel (Mount Vernon) explained that he is on the development team for the Hawk's Landing project and expressed support for the Port Quendall revitalization area. He remarked that improving infrastructure will promote 238 August 10, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 238 redevelopment and new development within the area. Mr. Mitzel cited the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and the Barbee Mill projects as excellent examples of new development in the area. He noted that the Pan Abode site faces significant infrastructure challenges including transportation and signalization improvements, and rebuilding the freeway interchange with a goal of providing required capacity for new development. He opined that this incremental financing tool, with the cooperation of the private sector, is the key to making redevelopment occur in this area. Lawrence Reymann (Renton) expressed support for the Port Quendall revitalization area. He explained that he is very involved with the May Creek watershed, and serves on many local boards in an effort to promote and teach environmental stewardship. He stated that building the May Creek Trail would enhance an essential wildlife corridor, create educational opportunities, and spur economic growth in the area. He remarked that there are runs of wild Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye salmon in the creek and opined that this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect habitat from Cougar Mountain to Lake Washington. He urged Council to focus on the May Creek corridor, and to take advantage of an opportunity that may not be available in the future. Aaron Belenky (Renton) remarked that he is the president of a homeowners' association that is located just outside the boundaries of the Port Quendall revitalization area. He stated that he disagrees with portions of the proposal, noting that there has been a number of car break-ins in his neighborhood, and it is also in need of road maintenance, streetlights, and other safety enhancements. He expressed concern over a proposed $40 million park that is to be located near$3 million homes and requested that the boundary be adjusted to include his condominium complex, so the needed improvements in his area could be covered by the proposed plan. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry, Ms. Dale Estey stated that the revitalization area boundary cannot be altered once it has been established and other taxing jurisdictions have been notified. She also indicated that any improvements must be made within the boundary, and the 1-405 interchange at NE 44th St. was accounted for within the Port Quendall revitalization area. MOVED BY TAYLOR,SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER THE ISSUES MR. BELENKY HAS ADDRESSED (ROAD MAINTENANCE, CAR BREAK-INS,TRAFFIC SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS,AND STREET LIGHTING)TO THE ADMINISTRATION. CARRIED. Campbell Mathewson (Seattle), Development Manager for Century Pacific, expressed support for the City's efforts to obtain local revitalization financing for the Port Quendall revitalization area. He noted that the Quendall Terminals site is currently an EPA Superfund site, and remarked that it is Century Pacific's hope to run the prospective clean-up plan concurrently with any development opportunities that may arise. He indicated that the preliminary redevelopment plan for the site includes 650 residential units, 200,000 square feet of office space, 20,000 square feet of retail space, and a couple of restaurants. Mr. Mathewson cited Carillon Point, the Riverfront in Portland, and the redeveloped Tacoma waterfront as examples of what could be developed at the Quendall Terminals site. He stated that in this economic environment this new economic tool is the kind of impetus necessary to spur development in the area. 239 August 10, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 239 Rich Wagner(Renton) remarked he is a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects, was a long-term member of the American Planning Association, and is a City resident. He stated that he lives in between the two proposed revitalization areas and his remarks are not site specific. He encouraged Council to take advantage of the new local revitalization financing tool. He also urged Council to be stewards of the money the City receives, noting that most of it comes from taxpayers. Mr. Wagner also remarked that these particular sites have property owners, key stakeholders, and residents that are excited about the redevelopment opportunities. He opined that without citizen support the redevelopment projects are just theories. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

She stated that the entire proposed vacation area is located within a Washington State Department of Transportation's (WSDOT) limited access control area. 248 August 17, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 248 Ms. McFarland reported that the proposed vacation area was quit-claimed to the City by WSDOT on June 20, 1979 (by turn-back agreement). She explained that this was done pursuant to Chapter 78, Laws of 1977, first extraordinary session of the Washington State Legislature. Ms. McFarland reported that the petition was submitted by Spencer Alpert on behalf of the Port Quendall Company on May 26, 2009. She remarked that 100 percent of the abutting property owners had signed the petition. Ms. McFarland also reported that the applicant's statement of purpose indicated that vacating the proposed area will enable Alpert International an opportunity to develop the vacated area in a manner consistent and compatible with the proposed Hawk's Landing development. It also indicated that the proposed vacation area is currently underdeveloped, not used for travel or other right-of- way purposes and is not reflective of the highest and best use of the property in relation to the City's Code. The statement further indicated that approval of the petition would not create incompatibility with the City's current transportation system or future plans known at this time, and the proposed vacation area would be turned into a privately-owned access point, maintained by the adjacent property owners and project developers. Ms. McFarland reported that there are no facilities in the area of the vacation petition. She stated that the petition was circulated to City departments for review and that the Surface Water Utility Division requested that the petitioner provide an equivalent usable area, along the southwestern area of the Hawk's Landing project site, for a stormwater quality and/or detention vault in the future. Ms. McFarland stated that Puget Sound Energy, Qwest, Comcast, and Integra Telecomm were contacted and that no objections to the petition were raised. She remarked that WSDOT has approved the proposed vacation as required by the original turn-back agreement and noted that any compensation from the proposed vacation must be directed to the State Highway Fund under the terms of the agreement. She also reported that access from the site to Lake Washington Blvd. N. will be restricted to right-in, right-out and will require a restrictive median treatment as determined and approved by WSDOT. She re-emphasized that the proposed vacation area is within a limited access area and that the vacation could not change WSDOT's access rights. Concluding, Ms. McFarland recommended approval of the vacation petition subject to the previously mentioned conditions. She stated that accordingly, the applicant will need to contact WSDOT and obtain any necessary approvals for any future land use changes in the requested vacation area. Public comment was invited.

Planning&Development Planning and Development Committee Vice-Chair Briere presented a report Committee recommending concurrence in the staff recommendation to adopt an Planning: Land Use Fee ordinance to amend land use permit fees. Schedule Revision Fee increases are being proposed for several types of land use applications, for example short plats and conditional use permits, in order to more adequately compensate for the City's actual processing costs. In addition,the ordinance clearly assigns responsibility to the applicant for 100 percent of the cost of a contract biologist's review for those projects needing Critical Areas review. This will not change building permit fees, impact mitigation fees, or public works- related fees. In the case of annexation, fees are proposed for elimination in order to further encourage annexations within the City's Urban Growth Boundary. In order to maintain the City's competitive position,the proposed fees are roughly 80 percent of the average of the fees charged by nearby jurisdictions. The Committee further recommended that the ordinance regarding this matter be presented for first reading. MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.

He stated that public services are currently provided by Fire District#25, Water District#90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquah School District. Reviewing the site's zoning, Mr. Sorensen stated that the existing King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). He reported that the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as eligible for residential low density zoning and pointed out that the site was pre-zoned R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) which will become effective upon annexation. Mr. Sorensen remarked that there are three parcels of parks space that are owned by King County within the proposed annexation area. He stated that they are designated as a Regional Park, are part of the proposed Cedar River to Lake Sammamish Trail and will not be mothballed. He noted that King County may transfer the parcels to the City in the future. Mr. Sorensen reported that the proposed annexation is generally consistent with City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives. Regarding the fiscal impact analysis, he stated that a deficit of$2,308.52 is estimated at current development and a minor surplus of$287 is estimated at full development. Regarding staff comments, Mr. Sorensen reported that the Surface Water Division noted that future development should be required to meet 2005 King County Surface Water Standards or the City equivalent. Transportation Systems Division noted that the NE 4th St. corridor would extend to the proposed annexation area, 156th Ave. SE would be a minor arterial road, and the City would assume ownership and responsibility of the NE 4th St and 156th Ave. SE intersection. No other concerns were expressed. 263 September 14, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 263 Responding to an inquiry from Councilmember Briere, Mr. Sorensen clarified that the City does not include park lands in its buildable lands analysis. He noted that there are a number of vacant parcels in the area that may be redeveloped if annexed. Correspondence opposing the inclusion of the three King County parks parcels in the proposed annexation area was received from Janice and Larry Faris (Renton). Public comment was invited. Janice Faris (Renton) submitted a revised a letter to the City Clerk and raised the following questions: 1) are the parcels part of the King County Comprehensive Plan, 2) has King County Parks,the Department of Natural Resources and Parks, and the King County Council been apprised of the annexation proposal, 3) what is the stated purpose of the annexation by the proponents, and 4) has the proposed land been surveyed or studied by any local, state or federal entity as a wetlands sensitive area. She stated that she would like to see the parcels preserved as the County originally intended. Community and Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch stated that King County has designated the parcels as regional in nature, that they are not on the County's list to be mothballed, and that in the past there has been discussion about the possible sale of the parcels to the City. He emphasized that whether the land belong to King County or the City, there is not an opportunity for these parcels to be developed commercially and there is no intention to sell them for private development. Steven A. Beck (Renton) stated that he is the proponent of the proposed annexation and requested that Council approve the annexation and allow it to move forward to the Boundary Review Board. Josaphat Hong (King County) remarked that he has lived in the proposed annexation area for over 20 years and requested that Council approve the annexation.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in CED: Real Estate Sign Kiosk accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Pilot Program consider the Real Estate Sign Kiosk Pilot Program. 264 September 14, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 264 Community and Economic Development Administrator Pietsch announced that the City has been working with the Master Builders Association on a proposal to help local real estate developers and realtors get customers to properties that are for sale without burdening the streetscape with a proliferation of signage. He remarked that if the pilot program is adopted, the City would .r.. become the first community in Washington State to use the unique program. Associate Planner Jerry Wasser stated that signs are useful aids for potential home buyers to locate new residential developments; however, having too many signs makes wayfinding difficult and adds to visual clutter. He remarked that due to subdivision activity in the Renton Highlands, NE 4th St. and Sunset Blvd. have become particularly noteworthy for such clutter. Mr. Wasser stated that in order to provide a uniform and recognizable wayfinding system,the Master Builders Association proposed a pilot program for Real Estate Sign Kiosks. He reported that the sign program is modeled after similar programs in Arizona and California, and the kiosks would be placed primarily in public right-of-way and oriented towards vehicle drivers. Mr. Wasser acknowledged that there is the potential for kiosks to be placed on private property, which would require permission from property owners. Mr. Wasser displayed an example of a Real Estate Kiosk Sign and remarked that the kiosk would be up to ten feet high and five feet wide containing up to ten directional panels, two of which would be reserved for providing directions to public facilities. Mr. Wasser reported that a master use agreement would be necessary in order for the Master Builders Association to build and install the kiosks within public right-of-ways and noted that 27 potential locations have been identified. He indicated that the signs would be limited to locations along NE 4th St., SR 900, Sunset Blvd., SE 95th Way, and NE 27th/30th St. He stated that the Master Builders Association responsibilities include applying annually for a permit for each kiosk, maintaining and repairing the signs, and leasing the individual directional panels to residential developers. Concluding, Mr. Wasser stated that the proposed code amendments include a provision that states that the pilot program will sunset in three years, and at that time an evaluation will be prepared to help determine whether or not the program should be extended. Responding to Council President's Corman's inquiry, Mr. Wasser clarified that the directional panels would include the name of the development and a directional arrow, but not necessarily the distance to the development. He stated that the intent of the program is to lead buyers from development to the next development further down the road. Public comment was invited. Garret Hoffman (Bellevue), President, Master Builders Association, expressed support for the kiosk program. He explained that the program is intended to help jumpstart the residential housing market by getting buyers to housing developments,thereby increasing sales. He requested Council's support for the program. .. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Chief Daniels reported that due to Mr. Bader's courageous efforts, two lives were saved and a disaster was prevented. Mr. Bader accepted the certificate with appreciation. PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Executive: Initiative 1033, accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to Concerning State, County, and consider State Initiative Measure No. 1033 concerning state, county, and city City Revenue revenue,which will appear on the November 2009 ballot. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington announced that the City attempted to contact the proponents and opponents of Initiative 1033. He remarked that the proponents had not responded and one speaker who opposes the initiative is in attendance. Mr.Covington reported that Initiative 1033 will appear on the November 3, 2009 ballot, and if approved by voters,would limit growth in county and city revenues deposited into the county and city current expense funds using 2009 as the base year. The initiative would cap the annual growth of state, county and city general funds at the rate of inflation plus population growth. 287 September 28, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 287 Revenue above the cap would be used to lower property taxes. Voters could also approve additional taxes over the cap. Mr. Covington reported that supporters of 1-1033 assert that voters should decide the rate that public sector should grow by putting a reasonable limit on the growth of government, and giving politicians the excuse to say'no'to special interest groups and the courage to finally start prioritizing and reforming government. If the automatic increase allowed by 1-1033 is not enough,government can use 1-1033's safety valve and go to voters and ask for a bigger increase. 1-1033 allows the state, counties,and cities to grow, but at a rate that citizens can control and taxpayers can afford, and at a sustainable rate that does not outpace taxpayers' ability to afford it. Mr. Covington reported that opponents are concerned that the initiative will slow economic recovery by making recessionary revenues the new baseline, and that future recessions will further widen the gap. In addition, 1-1033 does not distinguish among revenue derived from taxes, fees and charges deposited in to the general fund. It would mean that aggregate increases from these sources, in excess of inflation and population growth,would require deposit to the jurisdiction's lower property taxes account and result in no net change in the resources available to the local governments creating a disincentive to apply for grants, charge for contracted services, or foster economic development. Mr. Covington reported that the State of Washington's Office of Financial Management (OFM) analysis has estimated the fiscal impact of this initiative to be at least an$8.1 billion loss to the State general fund, $3 billion to city general funds, and $900 million to county general funds. The OFM's fiscal impact statement indicates that the "initiative would reduce state general fund revenues that support education; social, health and environmental services; and general government activities by an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015. The initiative also reduces general fund revenues that support public safety, infrastructure and general government activities by an estimated $694 million for counties and $2.1 billion for cities by 2015." Mr. Covington remarked that this initiative could potentially impact the City's history of partnering with the private sector for developing local improvements. He used The Landing as an example, noting that the City provided $23 million in infrastructure investment with the idea that the increased sales tax revenues would be used to pay back the investment. He explained that this type of partnership could be hampered because any increases in sales taxes over the rate of inflation would potentially be diverted into a "lower property tax account." He commented that the City would have to go to the voters for approval of receiving revenues over and above inflation for virtually every economic development project. Mr.Covington further explained that the City's zoning emphasizes greater density and the City would not want to allow that type of density if the initiative is approved because there would no longer be an ability to receive a return on investment. He cautioned that the City would also not want to reduce the zoning due to a possibility of an economic take lawsuit, leaving the City with the only option of requiring developers to pay for both the private and the public sector impacts of new development. He also questioned whether or not new development would occur under these conditions. 288 September 28, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 288 Public comment was invited. Bill Taylor(Renton), President, Renton Chamber of Commerce, expressed opposition to Initiative 1033 and stated that the Chamber of Commerce's board voted unanimously to oppose the measure. Mr.Taylor remarked that if passed the initiative could result in the inability to fund education at its current level. He also stated that the Chamber of Commerce is concerned about the impact on economic development within Renton, noting that there would no longer be an incentive to foster new development. He encouraged Council to oppose the initiative, opining that it contains no redeeming features. Chief Administrative Officer Covington stated that if approved,the effective date of the initiative would be retroactive to January 1, 2009, and though the exact amount the initiative would affect the City is uncertain, it is known that 2009 revenue rates are considered to be 20% below the historical average, and the OFM office analysis states that cities collectively would face a $2.1 billion loss over the next six years. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC MEETING. CARRIED. MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY TAYLOR, COUNCIL OPPOSE STATE INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 1033. CARRIED. (See page 290 for resolution.) AUDIENCE COMMENT John Cowan (Renton) stated that he has been involved with the Planning Citizen Comment: Cowan - Commission over the past three years and feels that residents may not realize Planning Commission Process that the commission's ruling can be overturned by Council. He urged Council to & Procedures follow the City of Bellevue's example of not overruling their Planning Commission and instead remand conflicted decisions back to the commission. He remarked that doing this would add credibility to the process and establish trust with citizens. He stated that overruling a decision without allowing the commission an opportunity to comment is unfair. Discussion ensued regarding the seriousness of the Planning Commission's decisions, reasons why decisions were overturned in the past, and the current working relationship between Council and the Planning Commission.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor Law presented his proposed City of Renton 2010 Budget to Renton Budget: Mayor's Presentation citizens and members of the City Council. He remarked that due to the current of 2010 Budget economic recession, and a structural flaw in local governments'source of funding, many things that improve the quality of life for City residents are in jeopardy. He explained that property tax is capped at 1%growth per year,yet the cost of doing business normally increases at a rate closer to 4% per year. He stated that for many years Renton, and most other cities in the state, have been living on revenue from a booming economy, and this strategy has been significantly impacted by the national recession. Mayor Law stated that a complex system of taxation leaves the public with the false assumption that they are already paying for the bulk of City services,when in reality less than 25%of property taxes supports all of the services the City provides to its residents. He commented that this equates to roughly$850 per year, or$70 per month,for a typical family to receive fire and emergency medical services, police protection,street maintenance, and use of all of the City's wonderful parks and trails. Mayor Law reported that the City has made significant cuts to the budget in the past 18 months, including eliminating nearly all travel and training, curtailing or postponing equipment purchases, and delaying needed maintenance. He stated that these were quick fix solutions that are not sustainable. He reported that the proposed 2010 budget is balanced, maintains core responsibilities, is 3.5% lower than last year's adopted budget, and reduces the City's workforce by 12%. 305 October 19, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 305 Mayor Law emphasized that the City will not raise taxes in 2010. He explained that innovative, creative, and cost efficient approaches to service delivery will be found. He stated that the City will also diversify City revenues and seek additional sources of funding such as grants. Mayor Law pointed out that the w City used zero-based budgeting this year to establish core City services that are valued and mandated by its citizens. He explained that this non-traditional approach to the budget process does not build on the previous year's budget, and all programs and activities were reviewed and ranked according to how they meet the community's priorities. Mayor Law reported that the 2010 budget totals$212 million, $98 million of which is for the General Fund and is available for the bulk of the City's services. He explained that the General fund is mostly funded by taxes, including property taxes, sales tax,and utility taxes. Mayor Law stated that 52%of the expenditures in the General Fund are dedicated to public safety, including police, courts, and fire and emergency services. He stated that 30% is dedicated to maintenance, infrastructure, parks, recreation, community services, planning, and economic development and the rest of the fund is utilized for internal support services. He noted that all of these services are provided by City employees, and that the City's largest expense is devoted to wages and benefits. Mayor Law listed the key service priorities as follows: • Safe and Healthy Community • Livable Community • Representative Government • Mobility • Utilities and Environment • Internal Support He remarked that citizens want safe, livable communities, responsible and responsive government, safe streets and walkable neighborhoods,clean and protected environments, and a trained and productive City workforce. Mayor Law reported that the City will lay-off 35 employees to bring expenses in line with projected revenues in 2010. He reviewed some of the impacts that the lay-offs will create by department: • Police Department-without compromising response times or the City's ability to keep the community safe,there are proposed budget reductions for the administrative and clerical staff, resulting in police officers assuming some administrative functions. • Fire and Emergency Services Department-there is a proposal to restore one full-service aid car to improve the City's response times, a deputy chief position will be held vacant, and two fire inspector positions will be reduced. The community risk reduction function will be assigned to the Emergency Management Director. There will be some reduction in service levels related to inspections and investigations. 306 October 19, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 306 • Community Services Department-seasonal/part-time staff will be reduced by 80, equating to approximately seven full-time positions. These reductions will eliminate the Summer Teen Musical program and closure of the recreation buildings at Kennydale, Kiwanis, Philip Arnold,Teasdale, and Tiffany Park. Free summer drop-in youth programs,volunteer recognition, and the holiday lights program will also be eliminated or reduced. Additionally,there will be staff reductions at the museum, reductions in geese control,tree removal, maintenance supplies, and the current flower program. Decreased custodial staffing will reduce the frequency of cleaning of public restrooms. While voters will have the opportunity to cast their vote to consider changing the administration of library services to the King County Library System in February,the City cannot currently afford the desired level of library services and programs. • Community and Economic Development Department-staff will be reduced by more than 20%. The City will continue to meet planning mandates, but progress on community plans and support provided to other departments will be reduced. Reductions in staffing will increase the wait-time for pre- applications, permit reviews, and inspections. Code Compliance will be maintained at current staffing levels,yet reductions in other departments will reduce the City's ability to clean up neighborhoods. The City is also looking at ways to make the Municipal Arts Commission and Renton Farmers Market self-sustainable in the future. • Public Works Department-reductions in the transportation capital project management program will increase the timeliness of responses to citizens' requests regarding street, sidewalk, and traffic complaints. Work on the comprehensive walkway plan will also be reduced,there will be a decline in the maintenance of streets and utilities, and a reduction of street-side litter collection. The City will provide minimum compliance with the Commute Trip Reduction program and eliminate coordination with Sound Transit and King County METRO. • Finance and Information Technology Department-will eliminate project accounting and contract management, consolidate Financial Analysis and Debt Services with Financial Planning, reduce overall departmental clerical support and move to a biennial budget to reduce production, publication, and staff costs. The reductions will result in deferred upgrades to telephone and GIS systems and other services. • The Human Resources and Risk Management Department-will eliminate technical staff and support in both the human resources and risk management functions. These reductions will create longer turn-around times for recruitments and significantly limit the City's ability to provide training and professional development services. • Executive Department-will reduce staff and capabilities for print and mail, leave a communications specialist position vacant, and eliminate a part- time videographer/multi-media specialist. All dues for national memberships and associations will be eliminated or reduced. Reduced staffing will result in longer wait-times for processing of records requests, probation officers will have less time to spend with parolees, and the Council's travel budget will be reduced by 60%. 307 October 19, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 307 Continuing, Mayor Law explained that the City's water, wastewater, and surface water utility funds are budgeted separately and the proposed rates for 2010 will presented to Council in November. He stated that the City expects to reduce its participation in water education projects, and will eliminate the Clean Sweep curbside clean-up program. Mayor Law reported that capital projects use dedicated funds that are derived largely from state and federal funding sources. He noted that there are limited new resources for capital projects in 2010, but announced that of the$29 million in proposed capital projects, over$27 million is dedicated to transportation and utility projects. He noted some of the larger projects, including the Rainier Ave. project, the new misdemeanant jail facility,water meter and water main replacements, and lift station rehabilitation. Mayor Law reviewed the City's accomplishments from the past year. He reported that that the City's crime rate is one of the lowest in South King County, the Fire and Emergency Services Department responded tremendously to two five-alarm fires that occurred within a three-week period, the Duvall Ave. project opened early and saved taxpayers$4 million, the City's Neighborhood Program received two national awards,the Maplewood Golf Course was recognized for environmental excellence by the Audubon Society, and the City received Tree City, USA recognition. Mayor Law also pointed out that new stores including Harley Davidson and Uwajimaya have opened recently, and the Seahawks training camp brought a total of 15,000 visitors to Renton. Concluding, Mayor Law stated that Renton has a record of innovation, and that will not stop because of the economic downturn. He remarked that the City will stay focused on opportunities not in spite of the financial challenges, but because of them. AUDIENCE COMMENT Stephanie Mapelli (Seattle), representing Leadership Eastside, reviewed the Citizen Comment: Mapelli- group's annual report. She stated that Leadership Eastside has strengthened Leadership Eastside the eastside region by developing and enriching a group of actively engaged Recruitment community leaders. Ms. Mapelli encouraged Council to invest in Leadership Eastside for the benefit of the Renton community. Citizen Comment: Katers- Jeff Katers (Renton) requested advocacy from the City regarding a state sound Maplewood Glen Sound barrier wall for the Maplewood Glen neighborhood, located along Maple Valley Barrier Wall &Community Highway. Mr. Katers also requested that the City open community centers on Center Church Use Sundays for rental by church groups. Councilmember Parker requested that the administration send a letter to the state regarding the sound barrier wall for the Maplewood Glen neighborhood. Councilmember Taylor requested that the administration talk to Mr. Katers about finding a location to rent for his church group.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Budget: 2010 Revenue accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Sources& Preliminary Budget consider the 2010 revenue sources and preliminary budget. Finance and Information Services Administrator Iwen Wang reported that tonight's hearing is one of two concerning the 2010 budget and the City is required by law to present revenue projections and resources to the public. She stated that the budget process started in April and the 2010 budget should be adopted by the end of November. Ms. Wang reported that City departments were required to build their budgets from a zero base, and explained that every resource for every program had to be justified. She noted that each department also had to provide two additional funding options. Ms. Wang reported that the City's overall proposed budget for 2010 is$212 million, almost half of which is for general governmental operations. She explained that police services,fire and emergency services, parks and 315 October 26, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 315 recreation programs, and street maintenance services are examples of general governmental operations. Ms. Wang stated that these services are provided primarily from tax sources. She noted that the City's utility services,golf course, and airport services are enterprise operations that are funded by the users of those services. She also noted that approximately nine percent of the budget is proposed for capital projects in 2010. Ms. Wang reported that the budget is balanced, and the City is projected to have$211.7 million in revenues. She stated that the largest portion of the revenue is coming from charges for services, but when the separate taxing sources are combined,they generate the most revenue. She stated that the largest taxing source is property tax and the projected revenue from this source is approximately$31.3 million. She noted that the City will not be taking the one percent increase as allowed by law and will keep the base property tax at the same rate as 2009. Ms. Wang noted that this equates to approximately $850 per average home per year for residents to receive City services. She pointed out that the City only receives 24 cents per property tax dollar. Ms. Wang reported the City's assessed valuation for 2010 will be decreased by approximately ten percent resulting in an increase in tax rates. She noted that the City's portion of the approximately$11.80 per$1,000 of assessed valuation will be approximately$2.60 compared to last year's$2.40. Continuing, Ms. Wang reported that the second largest portion of revenue the City receives is sales tax. She explained that in addition to the sales tax the City receives for purchases made at local retail stores, criminal justice sales tax is collected county-wide and distributed to local municipalities by population. She noted that in addition to the regular sales tax and the criminal justice sales tax,the City will receive an annexation tax credit of approximately$2.2 million in 2010. Ms.Wang reported that the City generates over$209 million in sales tax every year, but only receives approximately$19 million, or nine percent. She stated that the majority of the money, approximately$140 million, is sent to the state and the rest is divided among King County, Metro Transit,the Stadium, and the Regional Transit Authority. Concluding, Ms. Wang reported that the third largest taxing source is utility taxes. She stated that the majority of the tax is from electrical rates,followed by natural gas rates, and then the City-operated utility rates. She noted that development fees are also an important source of City revenue and pointed out that there was a 38%decline in this revenue source in 2008 and an additional 39% percent decline in 2009. She commented that a 20%recovery of the revenue is expected in 2010. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

PROCLAMATION A proclamation by Mayor Law was read declaring the week of November 12 to Renton Community 18, 2009, to be "Renton Community Foundation Week" in the City of Renton Foundation Week- and encouraging all citizens to join in this special observance. MOVED BY November 12 to 18, 2009 PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE PROCLAMATION. CARRIED. Lynn Bohart, Renton Community Foundation Executive Director, explained that Community Foundations are independent public charities that administer funds to the community that are established by individual donors and other non- profit agencies. She remarked that the Renton Community Foundation is celebrating its tenth anniversary and currently manages 44 funds and $4 million. Ms. Bohart stated that during the past ten years more than $2.2 million has been distributed back to the Renton community. She thanked City officials for their continued support. PUBLIC HEARINGS: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in CED: Issaquah, Kent& Renton accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tem Palmer opened the public School District Impact Fees hearing to consider the collection of impact fees for the Issaquah, Kent and Renton School Districts. Associate Planner Rocale Timmons stated that these impact fees only affect new development being constructed within the City of Renton. She explained --w that the money collected can only be used towards school district Capital Facilities and not for ongoing operations or maintenance. 331 November 9, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 331 Ms.Timmons remarked that each school district is required to adopt a Capital Facilities Plan and the plans authorize collection of the fees to offset anticipated growth within each district. am Ms.Timmons stated that Issaquah's service area within Renton allows single- family units only and that the Issaquah School District has requested a reduction of$2,151 to their current fee, lowering it to$3,344. She noted that the reduction is largely due to a reduction in growth and unforeseen state funds that will be used to match any collected impact fees. Ms.Timmons further reported that the Kent School District is requesting an impact fee of$5,394 per new single-family unit,which is an increase of$90 from last year. She stated that the Kent School District is also requesting a $3,322 fee for new multi-family units, an increase of$56 from last year. Regarding the Renton School District, Ms.Timmons reported that impact fees of$6,310 per new single-family unit and $1,258 per new multi-family unit are being requested. She remarked that the fees will be used for construction and site acquisition for new elementary and middle schools. Concluding, Ms.Timmons stated that all three of the school districts are responding to growth by proposing improvements to schools that are serving Renton residents. She noted that assessment of the full impact fees ensures that those who contribute to growth pay a fair share of growth-related costs. She stated that staff recommends adoption of the requested fees after final review by the Finance Committee. Public comment was invited. Gwenn Escher-Derdowski (Kent), Planning Administrator for the Kent School District, expressed support for the district's 2009 Capital Facilities Plan. She explained that the Kent School District is the fourth largest district in the state, serving approximately 27,000 students in the cities of Covington, Kent, Renton, Auburn, Maple Valley,SeaTac, Black Diamond and unincorporated King County. Ms. Escher-Derdowski highlighted projects in the district's 2009 Capital Facilities Plan including the new Panther Lake elementary school, additional space added at Kentlake High School and Kent Meridian High School, and a new elementary school proposed for 2011 depending on economic conditions. Concluding, Ms. Escher-Derdowski remarked that the Kent School District takes a voluntary reduction to the impact fee formula to hold the fee increase within the limits of the Consumer Price Index, and without the voluntary adjustment, the fee for single-family units would surpass$10,000 and the multi-family fee would be more than$7,000. She stated that impact fees make a significant contribution to school district construction programs and represent a savings to taxpayers. Rich Moore (Renton),Assistant Superintendent for Business and Operations for the Renton School District,expressed appreciation for the high level of support the district receives from City officials and staff. He expressed support for the district's Capital Facilities Plan and stated that collecting impact fees will allow the district to have funds available to provide additional classroom space for students. Mr. Moore noted that it has been increasingly difficult to pass bonds, remarking that three attempts were made before the last bond was approved. He stated that the opening of Honey Dew elementary school will not address the large amount of growth experienced on the west side of the district. 332 November 9, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 332 Steve Crawford (Issaquah), Director of Capital Projects for the Issaquah School District, expressed support for the district's Capital Facilities Plan. He remarked that school districts follow state rules and use the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's (OSPI) enrollment projections as the basis for their Capital Facilities Plans. He remarked that because the Issaquah School District has qualified for impacts fees in the past, and that growth in the district has reached a plateau,the district now has the opportunity to collect state matching funds as well as receive a tax credit from King County, which results in reduced fees. Correspondence was read from Garret Huffman, Master Builders Association, objecting to the increase in proposed school impact fees for the Renton School District. His letter included a review of the Snoqualmie Valley School District's impact fee report noting that their impact fee request was rescinded in lieu of a bond. Mr. Huffman also suggested that the point of collecting the impact fee should be when it impacts the school district, which is when (a new home) is purchased by the consumer. Councilmember Parker explained that as the local taxing authority, the City collects the fees and forwards the funds directly to the school districts at no charge.

With the finding of substantial need,the State law allows the City to raise the property tax up to the 1%above the base regular levy of the preceding year. While the proposed budget does not raise the 1% levy in 2010,the City Council finds substantial future need exists which would require the 1% levy, and therefore the proposed ordinance will preserve or bank this additional 1% levy for future years. Utility Rate Increases: The Utilities Committee recommends a 10% increase in water rates, a 4%increase in sewer rates, and a 4%increase in residential garbage rates to fund the operation, maintenance, and improvements to these systems. The ordinances that establish these rates are being presented by the committee separately and are scheduled for adoption this evening. The budget ordinance incorporates these rate changes. Other Rates and Fees: Other miscellaneous user fee adjustments, such as recreation and golf course fees, as well as fire permits and inspection fees, are reviewed by the Finance Committee and presented for Council adoption. These fee adjustments are integral to the 2010 budget. 2010 Budget: With the above considerations,the Committee of the Whole recommends a total 2010 Budget Appropriation of$212,407,593. Budgeted Related Ordinances: The Committee further recommended that the following ordinances regarding these matters be presented for first reading: 1. Ordinance Finding Substantial Needs to Maintain Base 2010 Property Tax levy at the same level as 2009, with 0%increase. 2.

He also clarified that the funds received through the state's tax credit are critical for the purchasing of police cars, snow clearing equipment, hiring staff, provisioning office space and other costs related to the increase in population if the area were to be annexed.

CALL TO ORDER AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. ROLL CALL 3. APPEAL: Planning & Development Committee Report re: Hawk's Landing Appeal INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council, feeling it was best for the elected representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate jurisdiction to itself. The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi- judicial body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body. By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the Renton City Council. 4. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 5. AUDIENCE COMMENT (Speakers must sign up prior to the Council meeting. Each speaker is allowed five minutes. The comment period will be limited to one-half hour.

APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report Planning& Development regarding the Hawk's Landing Mixed Use Site Plan application (LUA-09-060). Committee: The Committee heard this appeal on 12/3/2009. Pursuant to RMC 4-8-110.F., Appeal: Hawk's Landing Mixed the Committee's decision and recommendation is limited to the record, which Use, Alpert International & consists of, but is not limited to,the Hearing Examiner's Report, the Notice of Nicholson,SA-09-060 Appeal, and the submissions and presentations made by the respective parties. Background The subject site is located at 4350 Lake Washington Boulevard N. in Renton, WA, and is approximately 7.8 acres in size. The site is surrounded to the north and east by existing Washington State Department of Transportation right-of- way for 1-405, and to the south by an underdeveloped parcel that contains May Creek(a Class 1 water body) with at least two associated wetlands (Category 2). Alpert International, LLP ("Applicant") seeks to develop 3.07 acres on the northerly portion of the subject site with "Hawk's Landing" hotel, a five-story hotel that would include retail,fitness center, spa and restaurant. PROCEDURAL HISTORY Applicant submitted a request for SEPA review and Master Site Plan/Site Plan review for the proposed Hawk's Landing hotel. The Environmental Review Committee issued a DNS-M with ten (10) mitigation conditions. Brad Nicholson, and South End Gives Back("Appellant")timely appealed the SEPA determination. On 8/25/2009, a public hearing was held before the Hearing Examiner on the SEPA appeal and the Master Site Plan/Site Plan. Appellant appeared and presented at both portions of the hearing. The Hearing Examiner affirmed the SEPA determination and approved the Master Site Plan and Site Plan subject to ten (10) conditions. Both Applicant and Appellant then filed respective motions for reconsideration. Appellant also submitted a request to include new evidence, to wit,the "Second Declaration of Joel Massman" their expert witness. Applicant filed a Motion to Strike this declaration. On 10/19/2009 the Hearing Examiner issued the reconsideration affirming his original decision with a small modification to 368 December 7, 2009 Renton City Council Minutes Page 368 condition#10 of the Master Site Plan/Site Plan ruling, as it pertains to street trees and landscaping on the remainder of the project site. He also granted the Motion to Strike, denying Appellants' request to have the Second Declaration included in the record. Both parties timely appealed both the SEPA and the Master Site Plan/Site Plan ruling to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION DECISION Having considered the comments made by the respective parties, and having reviewed the submissions,files and evidence in this matter,the Committee recommends that the Hearing Examiner's ruling to grant the Motion to Strike be affirmed, and that the Hearing Examiner's decision regarding the SEPA appeal be affirmed. The Committee further recommends that the Council finds that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial error of law in that the Hearing Examiner erroneously required "best available science" as a standard for stormwater treatment. Accordingly,the Committee recommends that the following modifications be made to the September 10, 2009 Report and Decision, but otherwise affirm the approval of the Master Site Plan/Site Plan and conditions. Conclusion 5: ...Those water should be handled with respect and appropriately treated by whatever water retention, detention, or"rain garden"feature is used. The applicant must comply with the City of Renton's standards regarding stormwater(the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual).

While the applicant is trying to confine its footprint, the spare nature of the remaining site will detract from what appears to be a quality image. Therofnro the r rh. ,I,d ho ; rato,d at lea;-rt . al-ly. The Master Plan cannot escape that there is a much larger site that suffers from old, deteriorating buildings that will reflect on the current proposal. This office believes that the applicant and staff can work on a plan that accommodates additional landscaping, even temporary landscaping in planter boxes with some larger trees to screen or breakup the view of the background unsightly portions of the site east and west of the parking areas.

She County Library System also remarked that library employees have been told not to comment about or answer questions regarding the potential annexation or they could face legal repercussions. Ms. Avery stated that Renton taxpayers would lose the opportunity to choose what library they want to use,the items in the Renton library would no longer be readily available, and wait times for most items would increase if annexed. She also commented that Renton residents would lose local control, as not a single KCLS board member lives in Renton. Chief Administrative Officer Covington clarified that the information booklet was approved by the State Public Disclosure Commission. Citizen Comment: Osborn - Nancy Osborn (Renton) expressed concern over the lack of available Potential Annexation to King information regarding the potential annexation of the Renton libraries to the County Library System King County Library System.

PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Library: Potential Annexation accordance with local and state laws, Mayor Law opened the public meeting to to the King County Library consider potential annexation to the King County Library System (KCLS). System Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Marty Wine explained that this public meeting had been set in order to receive public comments and to provide residents with information about the potential impacts of Proposition 1 regarding annexation to KCLS, which will appear on the 2/9/2010 ballot. Ms.Wine stated that the City embarked on a Library Master Plan in its effort to provide citizens quality library services. She explained that the plan found that there were large gaps in the City's services relative to those offered by other ,..., libraries in Washington State and nationwide. Ms. Wine remarked that Renton is below standards in terms of revenue and operating expenditures per capita, print and video materials per capita, January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 16 programs, circulation per person,and the number of computer databases offered. Ms. Wine noted that the plan recommended that the City's library system remain independent, and to maintain the reciprocal borrowing agreement with KCLS. She explained that the reciprocal agreement allows residents use of the libraries in both systems and cost the City approximately $278,000 in 2009. She also remarked that the plan found that if maintaining the current system was not feasible,annexing to KCLS was another option. Ms. Wine clarified that Renton is one of three King County cities not part of KCLS, and KCLS is not part of King County government, but is a separate entity with the sole purpose of providing library services. Continuing, Ms. Wine outlined the potential impacts if Proposition 1 were rejected as follows: Renton libraries would remain a function of the City of Renton resulting in reduced branch hours, budget, and staff. Additionally, she stated that the costs to Renton residents to use the libraries will likely increase over time, and the reciprocal agreement with KCLS would also have to be funded. Alternatively, Ms.Wine stated that if Renton voters approve annexation to KCLS,they will begin operating the libraries in March, 2010. She commented that the main library would add three open hours per week, and the highlands branch would add 17 more open hours per week, including Friday hours. Ms. Wine explained that the Renton collection would be incorporated into the KCLS collection and made available throughout the system for borrowing. She also stated that all of the Renton library staff will have the option of becoming employees of KCLS. Ms.Wine pointed out that the libraries will be improved with new lighting, furniture,technology and signage. She also noted that the City will have the option of appointing a local library board that would act as a liaison to KCLS. Ms. Wine stated that the cost to homeowners is difficult to present, but for comparison purposes only, and if the libraries were funded only with property taxes, it would cost taxpayers approximately$104 per year for a $400,000 ` home. She stated that the KCLS reciprocal agreement is in addition to the property taxes paid by residents. Ms. Wine also stated that if all the City- related recommendations of the Library Master Plan were adopted, the cost to taxpayers increases to approximately$260 per year for a $400,000 home. Concluding, Ms. Wine stated that by comparison, if the City were to annex to KCLS, including paying property taxes to the library system, and rebuilding two library branches, the cost to residents is approximately$236 per year for a $400,000 home. She added that State law sets the maximum amount that KCLS can levy at 50 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation and remarked that the amount collected is currently 42 cents. She stated that KCLS has a levy lift measure on the same ballot as Proposition 1 that would raise the levy to 50 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation if approved by voters. She clarified that if Renton residents approved annexation to KCLS the collection of the additional eight cents would not begin until 2011. By mutual agreement the proponents of Proposition 1 began the discussion. Peter Hartley, past president and current trustee of the Renton Library Board, expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to present the pro position. He noted that he is primarily impacted by potential changes to the downtown library branch. He shared information about his background as a banker and January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 17 17 remarked that the Library Master Plan did not contain an analysis regarding the financial feasibility of either option. He clarified that this means the issue of feasibility was left to the City and remarked that Renton's library system is in severe financial distress. am Mr. Hartley stated that the reason the library is in its current state is due to a lack of funding for the past 30 years, which has now reached a critical level. He stated that additionally the library is saddled with the KCLS reciprocal agreement,which is essentially an uncontrolled cost. He remarked that as the City expands its borders,the cost of the agreement will continue to rise, and by joining KCLS the expense would be eliminated. He emphasized that the cost of the agreement increased by 250 percent from 2008 to 2009 and will likely grow again in 2010. Mr. Hartley opined that there are two options for the Renton Library System: 1) continue underfunding the system at a level lower than what was done in 2009,or 2)join KCLS and restore adequate library use and equitable services to all Renton citizens. He stated that a yes vote will mean increased hours at both Renton library branches, continued employment for Renton staff, an increased materials budget, new lighting,furniture, and signage, equitable library services to all City residents, and library governance by an institution whose sole mission is to provide the best library services possible. He stated that a no vote will mean a reduction in branch hours,elimination of six part-time staff positions, reduced hours for four part-time positions,a 30 percent reduction in the 2010 materials budget, a 75 percent reduction in budget for equipment repairs and maintenance, and a 75 percent reduction for certain children's programs. Concluding, Mr. Hartley pointed out that KCLS is the third busiest library system in the nation and adds more material to its collection each year than Renton has in its entire collection. Catherine Ploue-Smith, current Library Board President, shared her experience as a member of the Library Board and expressed support for Proposition 1. She stated that she supports the annexation because she supports local Renton youth. Ms. Ploue-Smith remarked that the Renton libraries lag behind KCLS technologically and commented that youth and other age groups seek to use computers to network among themselves. She emphasized that due to the Renton Library System's financial situation and the progression of technology that needs to be incorporated into the libraries, she has chosen to support annexation to KCLS. Opposition speaker Kim Thomas,a Benson Hill resident, shared his experience as a recently annexed Renton resident and volunteer. He expressed appreciation for Assistant CAO Wine's cost analysis and remarked that by joining KCLS, residents will be asked to pay 42 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation of their home. He remarked that it was doubtful that the 26 cents per$1,000 of valuation Renton residents currently pay for library services would cease to be collected. Mr.Thomas opined that the money is needed to pay for other City services. He noted that the 42 cents currently collected by KCLS will likely be raised to 50 cents and stated that Renton residents will be paying more taxes if the annexation is approved. He remarked that this is not the right time to raise taxes. 18 January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 18 Mr.Thomas also questioned how well KCLS is funded, noting that they continually ask for levy increases. He remarked that KCLS is a public organization and has had cost overruns, broken capital budgets, and frequent audits. He stated that KCLS has non-responsive organizational leaders, and their board of directors are appointed and not elected. Mr.Thomas also remarked that KCLS points out on their website that if the newest levy measure does not pass they will cut services and branch hours. Continuing, Mr.Thomas stated that KCLS is the third busiest library system in the nation and serves 1.2 million people. He indicated that KCLS circulates 20 million items around the region. He stated that the reason it cost so much to be a part of this system is because they cover a large region and millions of people. He questioned whether an organization that large is responsive to the needs of a small community like Renton. Using the City of Newcastle as an example, Mr.Thomas stated that the process of building a new library there began in 2005 and after five years,the new building has yet to be constructed. He noted that there will be less local control over any new library buildings in Renton if the annexation is approved. Concluding, Mr.Thomas questioned whether annexing to KCLS or not annexing and cutting library services are the only two options available for the Renton Library System. He remarked that Renton has faced difficult challenges in the past and can do so again in the future. He suggested finding alternative ways to fund the library system including receiving help from non-profit organizations and public-private partnerships. He noted that other communities have utilized these partnerships to formulate creative solutions for difficult issues. In rebuttal Mr. Hartling stated that regardless of how the City treats the 26 cents,there currently is not enough money to pay for library operations. He opined that levies will be needed in the future to sustain library services or they will continue to dwindle. He remarked that if services continue to dwindle, patrons will utilize KCLS branches which will cause the reciprocal agreement to increase. Mr. Hartley also stated that KCLS is financially stable,and that it has a$10 million cash cushion,for a $90 million operating budget. He pointed out that an entity of its size should be audited and its finances are very transparent. He stated that Mr.Thomas acknowledged that KCLS is more efficient than the Renton system. Concluding, Mr. Hartley stated that are only two options available for Renton's library system, stay independent and suffer a decrease in funding that has been put in place for 2010,or restore an equitable system so that every neighborhood in the City receives the same level of library services. Mr. Hartley also remarked that the Library Master Plan found that even if Renton increases the operating budget and rebuilds its two libraries, it will still be dependent on the reciprocal agreement with KCLS. In rebuttal Mr.Thomas outlined why the payments for the reciprocal agreement have increased. He stated that there was a large increase due to the issue between KCLS and Seattle, which is outside the City's control, and due to the City's increasing population. He remarked that having a larger population also means having a larger tax base,so as the cost of the agreement rises, so will the City's revenue. 19 January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 19 Mr.Thomas stated that the City of Seattle has negotiated a different price than Renton, and suggested that Renton should renegotiate the agreement annually. Mr.Thomas also pointed out that the Tukwila branch will be closing soon and the White Center and Skyway branches may also close. He remarked that there is no guarantee that KCLS will build any new branches near Renton and that they too have a budget to meet. He opined that if KCLS cannot meet its budget they may even have to close branches in Renton. Concluding, Mr.Thomas further stated that Mr. Hartley's point of creating an equitable system for all residents is valid, but noted that not all KCLS library branches are equal. He remarked that they have old and new buildings, and large and small libraries. Mr.Thomas emphasized that the City should not give up local control and hand over the library system to people who live outside of Renton. Public comment was invited. Ben Johnson (Renton) compared financial and statistical data between the two library systems and stated that the cost to manage one book is approximately $9.47 for Renton compared to approximately$22.50 for KCLS. He remarked that the extra money that KCLS collects is utilized for signage, computers and conference rooms. Mr.Johnson remarked that Renton does not need fancy signage, conference rooms or computers and requested that the library remain independent. Victor Eskanazi (Renton) suggested that annexation proponents are not considering how all the new items will be funded. He stated that he prefers that any money to improve local library services come directly from the citizens of Renton to the City. He requested that City officials, staff, and City residents come together to think of alternative ways to make the Renton system work and not pass the issue on to another taxing agency. Mary Fullerton (Renton) shared her experiences living in and supporting the Renton community. She expressed opposition to the potential annexation remarking that residents will be paying approximately$168 per year, possibly as much as$200 per year in addition to the $104 the City currently collects in property taxes to join KCLS. She requested that the City let residents know what will be done with the$104 it now collects prior to the election. Ms. Fullerton also pointed out that in addition to property taxes, residents will have to pay for any new libraries that are constructed in Renton. Laurie Finlayson (King County) stated that she is a Fairwood resident and works at the Renton Library. She opined that the Renton Library System meets the needs of the community in ways that KCLS cannot. She explained that when a resident needs a book, or DVD, or similar materials, which is not on the shelf or in the system, it can be ordered immediately. She stated that if the item is available in the warehouse, it can be in the hands of the patron within a week. Ms. Finlayson remarked that a similar process with KCLS takes months. She noted that the Renton library has a high success rate in filling inter-library and in-library material requests 20 January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 20 Beth Asher(Renton)expressed opposition to the annexation and any new taxes that may be a result of the annexation. She stated that because the land and construction costs of new buildings is required regardless of whether the annexation is approved or not, she would rather pay taxes to Renton and keep local control over the money. She remarked that she has reviewed the KCLS audits and stated that they have had continual cost overruns and have documented cases of illegal bidding procedures. Ms.Asher also noted that just as the Renton Lutheran Church was rebuilt,the City and its residents can rebuild and revitalize the Renton libraries. Bruce Myka (Renton)voiced concern over the calculation used for the reciprocal agreement with KCLS. He stated that the City pays for KCLS use, but does not charge KCLS users for utilizing Renton libraries. He remarked that this could be used in negotiations to help lower the cost of the agreement. Mr. Myka also opined that if the Fairwood annexation is approved, KCLS will take all of the circulation materials from the Renton libraries and leave Renton with empty buildings. He remarked that the City is not negotiating from a position of strength. Chief Administrative Officer Covington clarified that in the reciprocal agreement there is a calculation of the services that Renton provides to King County residents,as well as for services that KCLS provides to Renton residents. He stated that it is in fact a net-cost agreement. Mike Koura (Renton) stated that he believes there are many positives to annexing to KCLS. However, he expressed reservation regarding paying both the 26 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation and the additional 42 cents required if annexed. Mr. Koura remarked that Renton residents can currently utilize both the KCLS and Renton systems. He questioned whether the City could negotiate a better agreement. Mr. Koura also remarked that annexing to KCLS will mean that local tax dollars will be sent to other parts of King County and prefers that his tax money remain in Renton. He also noted that the Library Master Plan recommended that Renton libraries remain independent. John Webley(Auburn),former City of Renton Community Services Administrator, remarked that library services in the Renton community resonate with residents and that every survey conducted over the past 40 years has listed the Renton library as one of the top two or three City amenities. He expressed appreciation for Mr.Thomas' remarks and noted that regardless of the outcome of the election,the costs of modernizing the libraries will be passed on to Renton citizens. Mr.Webley remarked that it is up to Council to decide how much the libraries and maintaining local control are valued. Dave McCammon (Renton) remarked that the library system has done an outstanding job of providing library services in the past. He commented that Renton has grown in size and stature over the years while the library system declined. He remarked that KCLS has the sole purpose of providing library services and opined that Renton cannot provide the desired and needed level of service for the community. He requested that Council pass a resolution supporting annexation to KCLS. Jerri Wood (King County)stated that she is speaking on behalf of citizens who will not be able to vote on the issue yet utilize Renton's library services. She remarked that Renton schools have a 50 percent or higher free or reduced lunch rate and believes that not all of those children's homes have access to January 11, 201021 Renton City Council Minutes Page 21 books, nearby libraries, or computers to help research their homework assignments. She noted that the Renton School Board cut librarians and library services last year and stated that these children are now in need of local library services. Ms.Wood shared her experiences utilizing KCLS branches and stated r.. that she prefers Renton branches because they generally had the materials her children needed. Nicole Wicks(Renton) remarked that three of the five current Renton Library Board trustees are in support of annexing to KCLS. Additionally, she stated that numerous community leaders, local elected representatives, a former superintendent of the Renton School District, Renton Firefighters Local 864, and the Renton Police Officers'Guild support the annexation. Ms. Wicks remarked that this is a group of people who have dedicated their careers and their lives to maximizing the quality of life for Renton residents and their endorsements should be taken into serious consideration when voting on proposition 1. Lynne Shioyama (Renton) shared her experience as a life-long library user and former Library Board member. She expressed appreciation for the Renton library staff and commented that they are an asset to the community. She explained that most of the library staff will be able to remain employed but will lose benefits for their spouses and children. She remarked that they may also lose seniority,sick time,vacation time, and contributions to their deferred retirement plans. She pointed out that this will happen even as property taxes are increased. Ms. Shioyama expressed opposition to the practice of clustering that occurs at KCLS where their library staff are assigned to three or four libraries within the region and work at these different branches at different times during the week. She stated that patrons will lose the familiarity of having someone remember their names and needs. She opined that if the City of Renton really cares about its taxpayers,employees, businesses, and its future as a community it cannot support annexing to KCLS. Ron Hanson (Renton) remarked that like KCLS, he believes now is a good time to raise taxes for the proper cause. He urged Council to place an emergency operations levy on the 2/9/2010 ballot to provide citizens a chance to vote to increase the Renton Library System's operating budget. He remarked that this would also give the City the opportunity to choose the location and design of new library buildings. Mr. Hanson also suggested working with KCLS to ensure that any new libraries that are built meet KCLS needs as well in the off-chance that the City will annex to KCLS in the future. He stated that the reciprocal agreement should be renegotiated and explained that the City pays$1.50 for every book that they provide,and KCLS pays$1.00 for every book the City provides. He remarked that that is an admission that their system is 50 percent less efficient than the Renton system. Julie Medzegian (Renton) remarked that everyone will have the opportunity to vote on the issue in February. She also remarked that Council is not taking a vote on the issue and is listening to public comment in order to present a position either supporting or opposing the annexation. Judy Milligan (Renton)expressed appreciation for Renton's library staff and +�••• noted that she has had dissimilar service at the Fairwood library. She opined that there is nothing wrong with the signage or lighting at the Renton library. Ms. Milligan also remarked that the design of the library has been featured on magazine covers, and that the Northwest history collection is outstanding. 22 January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 22 Concluding, she stated that she is proud of the two Renton libraries and believes that the City should not be in the business of providing everyone with a personal computer. Howard McOmber(Renton) remarked that he believes it has been clearly shown that voting for annexation will mean an increase in taxes. He stated that residents have shown they are willing to approve the tax increases and should be given an opportunity to keep their money in Renton. He suggested that residents may say no to annexation and yes to a future bond measure that equates to the same amount of money that directly supports Renton's library system. Michael Halloran (Renton) suggested looking at this issue as if it were a bus or transit program. He remarked that in dollar terms it would not make sense for the county and Renton to have two transit systems. He recommended annexation to KCLS in order to use their expertise and large budgets to the City's advantage. He predicted that a new library will be built within downtown Renton that is as good as the libraries in Burien, Bellevue,or Fairwood. Teresa Rogerson (Renton)shared her experiences living in and supporting the City of Renton. She stated that she prefers utilizing the downtown Renton library over Seattle and KCLS branches. She explained that this issue will garner community support for the Renton libraries and believes a vote for annexation is a vote of no confidence for the City's leadership and citizens. Councilmember Corman stated that he remains an advocate for having placed this issue on the ballot. He remarked that he believes Renton citizens should decide if the library system remains independent or joins the regional system. Mr. Corman acknowledged the forum as a success and suggested that the election move forward with no further Council input. Councilmember Parker stated that as elected officials the Council has a responsibility to the citizens to make important decisions regarding priorities of government. He expressed appreciation for the library and its employees and remarked that the City cannot maintain the highest level of service that Renton citizens expect and deserve. Mr. Parker remarked that even if a levy supporting the Renton system passed,the City would be back in five years asking for more money. He commented that the City has an opportunity to build a new library system that will make the citizens proud. Mr. Parker urged citizens to exercise their right to vote for the betterment of the City. Councilmember Palmer stated that she opposes annexation. She remarked that she believes Renton provides better services for the money than KCLS and Renton library patrons are satisfied with the services they receive. She shared her experiences interacting with citizens at the libraries and commented that residents currently are able to utilize both library systems. She stated that from the beginning voters should have been asked if they are willing to pay for the revitalization of the Renton libraries instead of annexing to KCLS. Ms. Palmer pointed out that this will affect all property owners. She also suggested that the issue be presented to the voters without further input from Council. Council President Persson remarked that the decision to allow this issue to go to the ballot was a difficult. He stated that after hearing and reading all of the facts about the costs of sustaining and revitalizing the libraries, and taking direction from the library surveys that were conducted, he decided to agree to allow the issue to go the ballot. Mr. Persson remarked that the impression he 23 January 11, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 23 received from the survey was that residents wanted more from their libraries than just the ability to checkout books. He stated that after reviewing the financial information it was clear that the City would continually be asking residents for more money to operate the libraries. Mr. Persson stated that having the issue go to the ballot allows the citizens of Renton to decide what the future will be for the Renton libraries. He also suggested that the issue be presented to the voters without further input from Council. Councilmember Briere stated that she did not originally believe that she would be in support of this issue. She shared her experiences growing up in Renton and utilizing the local libraries. Ms. Briere remarked that she reviewed the data and research from the survey and found that KCLS provides many of the services that residents indicated they desired from their library system. She stated that the City's diverse community is need of access to computers and information in other languages. She also noted that even if the City passed a bond levy for new buildings and materials, it would have a difficult time providing the same services that KCLS can offer. She acknowledged that there are strong feeling on both sides of the issue and remarked that she was very much in favor of putting the question to a vote of the people. Ms. Briere also suggested that the issue be presented to the voters without further input from Council. Councilmember Taylor expressed appreciation to the citizens who participated in the forum and to the Renton library staff. He shared that his daughter and family utilize both the Renton and KCLS libraries and remarked that after reviewing the issue his thoughts turned to how the City could provide the highest level of service to its citizens. He pointed out how households have �r changed over the years and that information technology is a vital element to everyday life. Mr.Taylor remarked that the City's population is very diverse and many residents do not have access to the technology that will help them communicate, interact, and educate themselves. He also noted that KCLS offers mobile services, buses, and programs to help citizens improve their quality of life. Concluding, Mr.Taylor remarked that there are consequences if the measure fails and noted that he believes KCLS can provide the library services that citizens desire. Mr.Taylor also suggested that the issue be presented to the voters without further input from Council. Councilmember Zwicker remarked that Council reviewed the Library Master Plan and made the decision to enhance library services. He noted that the plan found that annexing to KCLS was one option for addressing the library issues. Mr.Zwicker remarked that Council made the decision to implement the Library Master Plan and stated that he is on record for being in support of annexation to KCLS. He also stated that the decision from Council as leaders was to enhance library services and it is only with the voters'approval that Council can achieve this goal. Mr.Zwicker also mentioned that library services will be reduced if the annexation measure fails.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Arland "Buzz"Johnson (Renton) remarked that he voted against the annexation Citizen Comment:Johnson- of the Renton Library System to the King County Library System (KCLS). He Potential Annexation to King explained that he is not comfortable moving the library leadership away from County Library System the effectiveness of the City Council. Mr.Johnson also questioned the ability of KCLS to handle the additional patrons. Citizen Comment: Lane- Robert Lane (Renton) requested that City officials and staff partner with the Lindbergh Pool Closure citizens of Renton and the Renton School Board to find a way to keep the Lindbergh Pool open. He remarked that he is aware that the pool is owned by the school district, but that it is also a community asset that enhances everyone's quality of life. Citizen Comment: Kotuis- John Kotuis (Edmonds), a Renton School District teacher and swim coach, Lindbergh Pool Closure remarked that he has heard talk of a quality-of-life tax and that he would support it if maintenance and operations of the Lindbergh Pool were included. Mr. Kotuis pointed out that even if a quality of life tax was approved by voters in the November election,the revenue would not be collected until April, necessitating a short-term solution to keep the pool open until then. Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry, Mr. Kotuis explained that he heard the idea of the quality of life tax from the Renton School District, and thought that there may have been discussions held between the school board and the City. Citizen Comment:Thomas- Kim Thomas (Renton) remarked that he has been researching the City's budget Potential Annexation to the and tax code and requested that the City explain what will happen to the$1.8 King County Library System to $2 million currently expended on library services if the library annexation to KCLS proposal is approved by voters. He also requested that the public be invited to comment on that budget process. Mayor Law stated that a decision has not been made regarding library budget savings because the issue has not been decided by voters. He explained that if the library annexation proposal is approved, part of that funding could be used to build new libraries. He also remarked that if the proposal does not pass, and it is decided that voters will need to approve a bond issue to pay for the libraries, some or all of the funds currently assessed for library operations could January 25, 2010 Renton City Council Minutes Page 31 31 be rebated back, or reduced from the tax burden. Mayor Law stated that these are things that Council would have to decide over a period of time,once the election has been completed. He also stated that the City welcomes all public input throughout the budget process. Um Councilmember Parker emphasized that public input is always welcome. He stated that two new libraries will have to be built and suggested that portions of the money currently assessed could be used to resume customer service programs that were cut from the budget last year. As examples, he remarked that a new lavatory could be built at Ron Regis Park, or cuts could be restored at the community center and senior center. Citizen Comment:Johnson- Ben Johnson (Renton)stated that he believes the following items are the Potential Annexation to King tangible benefits forjoining the King County Library System: New lighting, County Library System furniture, signs,technology and increased hours. He remarked that this opportunity, however,will cost City taxpayers$4.6 million in new taxes. Mr. Johnson stated that the City, if annexed,will lose its traditions and independence, and that library employees will lose benefits, seniority, and stability. Responding to Councilmember Corman's inquiry, Mr.Johnson stated that after reviewing the City's budget he believes that the information published in the City's frequently asked questions booklet is incorrect. Citizen Comment: Eskenazi- Victor Eskenazi (Renton)stated that he favors working with the City in order to Potential Annexation to King have an opportunity to help find a solution to retain independent library County Library System services in Renton. Mr. Eskenazi remarked that taxpayers are currently supporting public libraries within the Renton School District and Renton Technical College and the funds could possibly be pooled together to support all library services in the City. He also stated that there may be opportunities for the libraries to generate revenue, noting that KCLS has snack bars in their libraries. Council President Persson remarked that one of the reasons Renton is a great place to live is because of the easy process citizens have to come and voice their opinions. He remarked that the library issue is now in the hands of the voters and Council will make the appropriate decisions after the election. Citizen Comment: Mankowski Mannie Mankowski(King County) remarked that he lives in the Fairwood area - Lindbergh Pool Closure and utilizes the Lindbergh Pool. He acknowledged that the pool is owned by the Renton School District, but stated that he feels the City has an obligation to help keep the pool operating if they expect to receive Fairwood's tax money in the future. Mr. Mankowski stated that the$175,000 short-fall to keep the pool open is a small sum compared to the City's total budget. He urged Council to form an alliance with the Renton School District to find opportunities to keep the pool open. Councilmember Corman remarked that the Council is listening to all of the concerns expressed by tonight's speakers regarding the Lindbergh Pool. He stated that the school district is short approximately$175,000 and because the pool is owned by the school district there is no easy process for Council to prioritize the issue to find a way to keep the pool open. He remarked that he �• would be in support of a small levy for the maintenance and operation of the pool. 32 Renton Cit Council Minutes Page 32 January 25, 2010 Y Mayor Law acknowledged that the Lindbergh pool is a community asset and pointed out that the$175,000 does not begin to fund the pool and its operations. He remarked that the sum is closer to the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He commented that the school district, like the City and its residents, is struggling with its budget, and that it is unfortunate that these valued community assets are being impacted because of these budget crises. Mayor Law remarked that finding solutions will not be easy, but the City along with the school district and others, are happy to work together to find funding mechanisms that will allow these assets to remain open to the public.

Ms. Henning stated that an appropriate legislative response will be developed to mitigate or diminish any impacts. Council President Persson clarified that 25 years ago legislation was passed that removed these types of businesses from the City's downtown core. He remarked that the City was sued and the case was eventually seen by the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Persson noted that although the City won the case, it could not ban adult entertainment businesses outright, and therefore used zoning as way to relocate them to the valley area. He commented that the new club has met all the proper requirements and has been issued a business license. City Attorney Warren remarked that the City's case is the leading case in the United States on the zoning of adult entertainment. He stated that the Supreme Court determined that nude dancing is an expression that is protected by the first amendment,and the City is reviewing zoning regulations that will ultimately limit or mitigate any potential negative secondary effects from these types of businesses.
