Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required: $ Transfer Amendment: $ Amount Budgeted: $ Revenue Generated: $ Total Project Budget: $ City Share Total Project: $ SUMMARY OF ACTION: The recently adopted Transit Center Ordinance contains a provision that says there is a risk of being charged with criminal trespass in the event the person ignores the officer’s immediate expulsion. There is no provision subjecting a person to criminal trespass prosecution in the event the person ignores a longer expulsion. This came to light when amending the Park Expulsion Notice to include the provisions for the Transit Center expulsions. This proposed legislation would eliminate that limitation and allow the police to cite for criminal trespass when a person ignores ANY expulsion (the three or more days OR the year). Further, this legislation would bring the Transit Center Expulsion ordinance in line with the Park Expulsion ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance amending the Transit Center regulations. 5b. ‐ City Attorney Department recommends a City Code amendment regarding expulsions and criminal trespass at the Transit Center.

At the south end of Lake Washington, Renton is a hub to key transportation routes and offers high- performing schools, a green network of trails and parks, and urban amenities—making it a great place to live, work, learn, and play. Renton is home to globally recognized companies such as Boeing, PACCAR, ad IKEA. Its strong economic base and diverse marketplace have also attracted “new economy” companies such as Parallels, Microscan Systems, and Wizards of the Coast. Renton’s leaders recognize that achieving its vision of building a sustainable and prosperous community over the long term hinges on the community’s ability to compete in the economy of the future. By necessity, that future will be more resource-efficient; rely on clean and renewable energy sources; and call on governments, businesses, and citizens to minimize pollution and waste. Renton has joined with regional and national governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create compact and thriving neighborhoods, and invest in clean mobility and energy efficiency. The City is now reviewing past successes and identifying opportunities to help Renton effectively compete in a clean economy. In a clean economy, vitality, growth, and jobs derive from economic activity that is highly resource-efficient, applies renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, and minimizes the generation of waste and pollution. A clean or green economy is an element of sustainable development, which considers the needs of future generations along with those of the present and heeds the “triple bottom-line” of economy, community, and environment. Renton’s Vision Renton is the center of opportunity in the Puget Sound region, where families and businesses thrive. The City of Renton—in partnership and communication with residents, businesses, and schools is dedicated to: Providing a healthy, welcoming atmosphere where citizens choose to live, raise families, and take pride in their community. Promoting planned growth and economic vitality. Valuing our diversity of language, housing, culture, backgrounds and choices. Creating a positive work environment. Meeting service demands through innovation and commitment to excellence.

Businesses and governments alike are seeking new ways to mitigate loss of traditional manufacturing jobs, volatile energy prices, global climate change, and dependence on foreign oil. Clean economy strategies seek to attract growing industries and create high-paying jobs— while conserving resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizing waste and pollution. Renton can benefit from a clean economy. Our region brings valuable assets to help capture low-carbon, clean-energy sectors—including a prevalent green culture, supportive regional government policies, a significant natural resource base, and a strong base of manufacturing infrastructure and technical know-how. As Puget Sound moves toward a cleaner, more efficient economy, Renton can position itself to capitalize on these regional efforts and to attract clean jobs and industries, while conserving natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Prioritizing resource- efficient actions in city operations, programs, policies, and investments will help Renton lead and stay competitive, save money, mitigate risk, and leverage resources to benefit the Renton community. Renton’s clean economy strategy provides recommendations to integrate clean economy objectives into the City’s practices, policies, and investments. The strategy builds on what Renton is already doing and its place in the greater Seattle/Puget Sound region, coupled with competitive advantages that include its people and employees, green ethic, and local business leadership. Together, the recommended actions are designed to help Renton thrive in a more resource-efficient future; rely on clean and renewable energy sources; and move governments, businesses, and citizens alike to minimize pollution and waste. Renton can benefit from investments in a clean economy. Lead and stay competitive. Renton can position itself as a clean economy leader to attract clean businesses and residents seeking efficient and future- oriented communities—creating local jobs and revenue. Save money. Using less energy in homes, buildings, and vehicles means lower transportation and energy costs for residents, businesses, and governments—and more money to invest in the local economy and community. Mitigate risk. Our region’s relatively low energy prices stem from reliable hydropower. Scientists and economists predict that decreased snowpack and increased energy demand will lead to higher energy prices, especially for carbon-based fuels. Reducing energy needs will help maintain reliability, adapt to a changing climate, and use our clean energy sources efficiently. Leverage resources. Investments in energy efficiency and renewables will likely continue. Renton must compete effectively to bring federal, state, utility, and private funding for its community and economic development.

Specific goals of the project were to design a strategy to help the City: •Reduce operating costs for both the City and the community through energy- saving and resource-efficiency measures. •Understand greenhouse gas impacts and identify cost-effective steps to reduce emissions and save energy. •Capitalize on opportunities for funding and investment, including federal grants, state infrastructure funding, and other investments in the region. •Identify new initiatives for a competitive, clean local economy and fulfill Renton’s commitment to stay “ahead of the curve.” METHODOLOGY To build on Renton’s accomplishments and identify opportunities for future action, Cascadia interviewed city staff and community leaders, conducted a greenhouse gas inventory, and identified relevant regional and national trends. 1. Interviews In September 2010, Cascadia facilitated a project kick-off meeting with key staff to gather input and ideas, identify efforts already underway in the city, understand priorities, and determine how to engage staff in the effort. Sixteen staff representing six City departments participated in the meeting, and Appendix A includes the meeting materials. Cascadia also conducted phone interviews with 12 staff members from key departments to learn more about current practices, policies, and programs; potential barriers; and opportunities to increase energy efficiency, sustainability, and renewable energy in City operations and the broader community. Appendix B provides the staff interview guide. Kick-Off Attendees Alexander Pietsch Community & Economic Development Chip Vincent Community & Economic Development Eric Wallgren Fire Gregg A.

Cascadia interviewed 10 organizations: Aero-Plastics, Boeing, IKEA, PACCAR/Kenworth, the Renton Chamber of Commerce, the Renton School District, Renton Technical College, Valley Medical Center, Walmart, and Wizards of the Coast. The discussions focused on the green attitudes and culture within the interviewee’s organization, specific sustainability efforts and barriers within the organization, perceptions of City efforts, and recommendations for future consideration. Appendix C provides the employer interview guide. 2. Greenhouse gas inventory To help the City of Renton understand current energy use and impacts and identify opportunities for savings, Cascadia conducted a greenhouse gas inventory for both municipal operations and the Renton community as a whole. Cascadia worked with staff to establish 2009 as the base year (based on best available data) and calculated emissions from the activities of businesses, organizations, and people that resided within the City’s boundaries during that base year. Department staff helped assemble the necessary data. In October 2010, Cascadia conducted a greenhouse gas inventory training to outline the data collection process and establish lead contacts for data collection for the following sectors: Municipal inventory: employee commuting; business travel; vehicle fleets; golf course equipment; and energy use (building, streetlights, traffic lights, water delivery). Community inventory: energy use (residential, commercial, industrial); transportation (vehicle miles and airline); and waste and recycling. Cascadia used ICLEI’s Clean Air and Climate Protection (CACP) software in combination with established protocols and standards to prepare the inventories. Appendix D provides a detailed summary of the methodology and findings for Renton’s municipal and community greenhouse gas inventories.

These eight high-level findings provide a snapshot of where Renton is today, based on interviews with city staff as well as business and community leaders, analysis of resource use, and clean economy trends and opportunities. These observations directly inform the recommended actions to help Renton continue to lead by example, foster local engagement, communicate success, and foster green innovation. 1.Renton’s employees are highly motivated and enthusiastic about advancing clean economy goals. 2.Renton is leading by example with an impressive list of actions underway through city partnerships, practices, policies, and programs. 3.Renton’s businesses bring strong leadership and interest in fostering a clean economy in Renton. 4.The Renton community has a compelling “clean economy” story to tell. 5.The clean economy continues to offer competitive advantages and economic development opportunities. 6.The Puget Sound region is bursting with clean economy activity. 7.Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that in 2009, the community emitted approximately 1.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent, translating to approximately 20 metric tons per person. 8.Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that in 2009, the City’s municipal operations emitted more than 14,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent, about 0.2 of metric tons per resident. These eight findings are described in more detail in the pages that follow.

Renton is leading by example with an impressive list of actions underway through city partnerships, practices, policies, and programs. Renton has firmly established its clean economy leadership through national and regional efforts such as the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, the Cascade Agenda Cities program, Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition, and the C-7 New Energy Partnership. The City is advancing regional transportation solutions with strategic investments in low- emission fleet vehicles and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Renton has leveraged federal and utility funding to improve building and traffic lighting efficiencies, saving energy and money. The City is working with Puget Sound Energy to help residents reduce home energy use, and the Renton community has achieved an impressive 70% residential recycling rate. Renton recently became one of eight cities in Washington to adopt a Complete Streets ordinance to foster safe and convenient access and travel for all users including pedestrians, 1. Renton’s employees are highly motivated and enthusiastic about advancing clean economy goals. Staff from every department proudly described a host of clean economy actions and reported a prevailing green ethic across the City. Interviewees also expressed widespread interest in establishing a citywide policy to drive sustainability goals, set targets and metrics, and align department actions. Staff suggested making green actions engaging and fun through education and competitive challenges. Employee suggestions and ideas can be a key driver of efforts to improve energy efficiency.

In 2009, Renton received Tree City USA status and that same year, its Maplewood Golf Course was the twelfth in the state to be designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. 3. Renton’s businesses bring strong leadership and interest in fostering a clean economy in Renton. Most of the employers interviewed showed strong sustainability awareness and reported green innovations. Most of the larger companies, like Boeing, IKEA, Valley Medical Center, and Wizards of the Coast are currently developing or implementing leading clean technology, transportation, and efficiency initiatives. Renton’s educational institutions such as the Renton Schools District and Renton Technical College are implementing resource efficiency measures at their facilities and helping educate and train the next generation of workers for green jobs. Business leaders are eager to engage with the City on green topics, particularly transportation opportunities. 4. The Renton community has a compelling “clean economy” story to tell. Many inspiring green efforts are underway across city departments and within the business community. Taken together, the City’s clean economy leadership is remarkable. However, most of the stakeholders (city staff and employers) that we spoke with had a limited view of what others were doing to advance green initiatives. The City needs to articulate and share these stories across departments and the community as a whole to firmly embed the clean economy in the City’s brand.

The clean economy continues to offer competitive advantages and economic development opportunities. Between 1998 and 2007, green jobs grew at a faster rate than overall jobs (9.1% compared to 3.7%), and national clean technology venture capital investments totaled more than $12 billion over the past three years.1 States like California, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Texas are aggressively competing to align clean energy and regulatory policy to support clean economy development. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) brought a $90-billion investment in clean energy and transportation- related programs. President Obama reiterated this federal commitment in his 2011 State of the Union address, calling to generate 80 percent of U.S. electricity from clean energy sources by 2035, put 1 million clean vehicles on the road by 2015, reauthorize clean energy manufacturing tax credits, and expand clean energy research and development. 6. The Puget Sound region is bursting with clean economy activity. Our region is investing in growing a clean economy to create industries and jobs for the future. The state has emphasized green economy goals through its Climate Change Challenge and the Evergreen Jobs Initiative. The Governor convened a Clean Energy Leadership Council to help Washington more aggressively foster a clean economy. Several state energy measures are advancing energy efficiency in buildings and vehicles as well as renewable energy generation. Electric vehicle (EV) technology is a particular focus, supported by our region’s clean hydropower. Initiatives such as the Electric Highway Project, the EV Project, and Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition alternative fuel funding are bringing multimillion-dollar investments in EV infrastructure to our region. The Puget Sound Regional Council’s Prosperity Partnership is crafting a business plan to develop an energy efficiency export market in central Puget Sound. In addition, dozens of local governments are testing innovative clean energy programs to advance community energy savings, green jobs, and emission reductions.1 The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Clean Energy Economy: Repowering Jobs, Businesses and Investments Across America, 2009.

Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that in 2009, the community emitted approximately 1.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent, translating to approximately 20 metric tons per person. As shown to the right, transportation accounts for the largest emissions (49%), as in other Washington communities. Commercial (21%) and residential energy use (20%) are the next largest contributors, followed by industrial energy use (9%) and solid waste (.3%). Renton’s community emissions are higher than other Puget Sound cities in several categories (differences can be due to factors such as inventory year, development patterns, and inventory scope). In addition to transportation, key opportunities for reducing Renton’s carbon footprint may exist in commercial and residential energy use.

Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that in 2009, the City’s municipal operations emitted more than 14,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent, about 0.2 of metric tons per resident. As shown in the sidebar, the majority of municipal emissions come from building energy use (40%), while water delivery services (23%) and vehicle fleet (18%) contribute the second-and third-highest emissions, respectively. In comparison with other jurisdictions, Renton’s municipal emissions are slightly higher on a per-capita basis than nearby communities such as Auburn and Kirkland—though differences in inventory years, the size and type of city facilities, and the scope (e.g., whether employee commuting and material use are included) make it difficult to draw exact comparisons. Renton’s municipal inventory points to key reduction opportunities in water, fleets, and buildings. 0.00 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 Renton (2009) Bellingham (2005) Bellevue (2006) Edmonds (2006) Kirkland (2005) Vancouver (2007) Auburn (2008) m e t r i c t o n s C O 2 - e q p e r p e r s o n Municipal Government Per Capita Municipal Emissions Waste Water/Sewage Streetlights Commute Fleet Buildings Buildings, 5,664 , 40% Water Delivery Facilities, 3,274 , 23% Vehicle Fleet, 2,531 , 18% Street Lights, 1,257 , 9% Employee Commuting, 995 , 7% Traffic Lights, 185 , 2% Wastewater Facilities, 121 , 1% Business Travel, 44 .3% Refrigerants, 10 , .1% Municipal Inventory by Emissions SectorTotal Emissions: 14,081 mtCO2e Buildings Water Delivery Facilities Vehicle Fleet Street Lights Employee Commuting Traffic Lights Wastewater Facilities Business Travel Refrigerants Municipal Inventory by Emissions Sector Total Emissions: 14,081 mtCO2e Per Capita Municipal Emissions DRAFT 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 2 4 o f 7 3 1 DRAFT 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 2 5 o f 7 3 1 The 22 recommendations presented in this strategy address diverse elements of a clean economy: leadership, community engagement, resource efficiency, renewable energy, planning and growth, and economic development. Taken together, the recommendations provide initial direction to help the City advance its four goals identified at the start of this project: 1.Reduce operating costs for both the City and the community through energy- saving and resource-efficiency measures. 2.Understand greenhouse gas impacts and identify cost-effective steps to reduce emissions and save energy. 3.Capitalize on opportunities for funding and investment, including federal grants, state infrastructure funding, and other investments in the region. 4.Identify new initiatives for a competitive, clean local economy and fulfill Renton’s commitment to stay “ahead of the curve.” A snapshot of the 22 recommendations in each of the five topic areas above are highlighted in this section, with a more detailed discussion of each in subsequent sections of this strategy. In addition, five immediate action steps are recommended to get Renton started on the path to a more prosperous and clean economy. These steps integrate many of the recommendations and are designed to provide a focused way to create early momentum, build support for future efforts, achieve near-term cost-savings greenhouse gas reductions, and foster new initiatives. The five steps are described in greater detail in the Getting Started section of this strategy. •Leadership & Governance •Mobility, Land Use & De•Business & Community Engagement •Resource Use & Renewable Energy •Mobility, Land Use & Development DRAFT 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 2 6 o f 7 3 1 LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE 1-1.

This commitment should also be embedded into the City’s brand to promote these values internally and externally. Forming a Green Team is a key step for implementing clean economy investments and actions across the various departments and lines of business and demonstrating City leadership in the community. Step 2: Identify and implement additional resource conservation upgrades at City facilities and set high standards for new infrastructure (Actions 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-1) Leading by example sets the right example and can generate significant cost savings. City buildings, fleets, and other infrastructure improvements are often easy to implement in that they fall within the purview of the City. Resource conservation activities provide tangible actions with quantifiable outcomes to show immediate progress in reducing cost and greenhouse gas emissions. Step 3: Engage with employers on efforts to green their businesses and the Renton community (Actions 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 3-4) Many of Renton’s employers are national leaders in resource conservation. They expressed strong green values and corporate leadership in these areas. At the same time, smaller businesses could benefit from greater assistance. Renton can collaborate with others to support the City’s businesses community with green initiatives, help to facilitate a cross-business dialogue, and foster greater public-private partnerships to achieve the City’s climate protection and clean economy goals.

The initiative could begin small by packaging and marketing available energy rebates and financing or could involve helping the community reap clean energy benefits such as cost savings, green jobs, and healthy air. The initiative could begin small by packaging and marketing available energy rebates and financing or could involve developing new programs with community partners. Climate Solutions’ New Energy Cities program is one opportunity for leveraging outside resources to support community energy initiatives. Step 5: Launch a transportation campaign to engage the community in short-term actions and long-term advocacy for regional transportation investments in Renton (Actions 2-4, 4-1, 4-2) Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that approximately 50 percent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation activities. Given high community interest in this topic and the role Renton serves as a regional transportation hub, the City should initiate a local campaign to engage community leaders in implementing highly visible transportation actions at the local level (e.g. employee commuting) as it builds a community constituency to advocate for longer-term regional transportation investments in Renton.

These actions include establishing citywide goals and policies, promoting a strong green ethic across city departments and staff, leading by example through bold city actions, and engaging in partnerships to foster regional coordination and success. Communication enables Renton to tell its clean economy story, enhancing the Renton brand and building momentum for additional initiatives and actions. RENTON TODAY Over the last decade, Renton has established its regional sustainability leadership through commitments and partnerships to address global climate change and foster local clean energy solutions. In 2007, Renton joined hundreds of other U.S. cities in signing the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement,committing to advance climate protection policies and actions. Renton is a member of the Cascade Land Conservancy’s Cascade Agenda Cities program and joined ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability in 2010. In addition, the City has played an integral role in developing regional certification standards to improve fleet efficiency through the Evergreen Fleets Advisory Committee. Renton is a member of the Puget Sound Clean Cities Coalition, which promotes alternative fuels and vehicles, fuel blends, hybrid and electric vehicles, and idle reduction. Renton is collaborating with regional jurisdictions to secure funding and advance clean mobility, energy efficiency, and smart grid initiatives through its participation with Puget Sound New Energy Solutions and the C-7 New Energy Partnership. Renton is also playing an active role in King County’s Sustainable Cities program.

C-7 New Energy Partnership includes seven neighboring cities (Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond, Renton, and Sammamish) to capitalize on proximity, shared goals, and combined resources of the most heavily travelled corridors in the region. The Cascade Agenda “Cities” program enlists the region’s cities to improve the livability of neighborhoods—making them complete, compact, and connected. This program, sponsored by the Cascade Land Conservancy, educates partner cities about how to make smart choices about future growth and provides a framework to improve and share best practices that enable cities to make their neighborhoods better. ICLEI—Local Governments for Sustainability is an international association of local governments and national and regional organizations committed to sustainable development. ICLEI provides technical consulting, training, and information services to build capacity, share knowledge, and support local governments in the implementation of sustainable development policies and practices.

Interviewees from every department proudly described a host of green efforts currently underway. Key drivers for sustainability include an overarching green ethic in the community, mandates and requirements, cost savings, and leadership. Barriers to being more green included cost, lack of formal leadership, insufficient information, and other higher priorities. City interviewees emphasized the need to create a strong foundation to foster clean economy action across Renton’s departments and staff as well as to establish a systematic framework to measure accomplishments. For example, the City does not have a citywide sustainability vision or specific goals related to energy and climate. Multiple staff members suggested that the City establish a Green Team to coordinate and advance the efforts currently underway by specific departments and individuals. In addition, staff suggested developing a triple bottom-line tool to evaluate City investments, actions, and desired outcomes. RECOMMENDATIONS 1-1. Formalize Renton’s clean economy goals, commitments, and desired outcomes. This strategy assesses Renton’s clean energy accomplishments and opportunities and then defines an initial set of leveraged, high-return actions to move Renton toward a clean economy. The next step is to establish a vision for a clean economy—with goals, metrics, and indicators to track and report progress. As an immediate next step, we recommend that Renton take the following actions: Establish a vision and set of desired outcomes and metrics to provide a citywide focus and drive innovation. Establish a framework to evaluate city policies, programs, and investments, considering the City’s clean economy vision and the triple bottom-line of economic, social, and environmental outcomes.

Establish a Renton Green Team to shepherd the City’s clean energy goals and spur staff innovations. Sustainable approaches require coordination across lines of business and sectors. Governments and businesses alike have successfully used interdepartmental teams, training, and education to harness the creativity and motivation of employees. A Green Team can spur innovation, coordinate the development and implementation of new approaches and solutions, improve efficiencies, and provide accountability for results. A key purpose of this team would be to encourage and empower staff to make suggestions and share ideas that foster innovation and increase efficiencies. Ideally, the Green Team would create both a fun and competitive environment to seek input as well as reward new ideas and successes. 1-3. Showcase Renton’s leadership and success. Renton has already demonstrated outstanding green leadership. Now the City needs to share its story and stimulate others to take action as well. Sharing the City’s sustainability values, commitments, and activities—in both its marketing materials and its plans and policies, like the Comprehensive Plan and the Renton Business Plan—will help the broader community understand both what the City has accomplished as well as its goals and objectives. Telling this story will help to embed clean economy into the City’s brand and explain Renton’s values and benefits to potential new partners, residents, and businesses.

Continue to collaborate on regional clean economy initiatives and develop key partnerships for Renton-specific actions. Renton should continue to work with regional groups such as the C-7 New Energy Partnership, King County Sustainable Cities, and Eastside Sustainable Business Alliance to share best practices and leverage outcomes, especially when pursuing federal funding. Renton also should establish new partnerships to implement Renton-specific actions. For example, Puget Sound Energy is interested in expanding community and business efficiency programs and Seattle City Light is expanding its Powerful Neighborhoods direct-install program to West Hill/Skyway. Another opportunity is Climate Solutions’ New Energy Cities program (see sidebar). Renton’s local employers will be important allies to engage in advancing clean economy goals. Potential partners and initiatives for advancing clean economy actions Climate Solutions works to accelerate practical and profitable solutions to global warming by galvanizing leadership, growing investment and bridging divides. Its New Energy Cities program is catalyzing pioneering communities to take charge of their energy future and drive investment toward a clean, renewable, super- efficient energy system that generates significant local economic development. To become a Pioneer City, a community must have the following: Bold, innovative political leaders Local utilities willing to collaborate Business community that sees the value of investing in clean energy An engaged citizenry that wants to embrace a clean energy future Built Green is an environmental building program of the Master Builders Association, developed in partnership with local agencies.

Together, they fuel the local economy with jobs, products, services, and revenue—as well as add to the City’s footprint of resource use and pollution. RENTON TODAY Cascadia interviewed leading Renton businesses and institutions to learn about their perspectives and actions related to the clean economy and identify future partnership opportunities. Businesses and institutions interviewed included Aero-Plastics, Boeing, IKEA, PACCAR, the Renton Chamber of Commerce, the Renton School District, Renton Technical College, Valley Medical Center, Walmart, and Wizards of the Coast. These organizations represent a sample of the tremendous assets within the Renton community that appear eager to work with the City to advance a cleaner and more sustainable community. Interviews with these key employers indicate a strong interest in and commitment to being “green.” Several organizations are leading the way with cutting-edge sustainability actions, including clean fuel development at Boeing, green information technology solutions at Wizards of the Coast, energy efficiency training programs at Renton Technical Collage, and energy upgrades to equipment and buildings at most of the larger establishments (see highlights of Renton Business Leadership on page 33). Conversations with interviewees revealed the following findings: All organizations expressed a genuine appreciation for outreach from the City related to clean energy and sustainability. Uniformly, they were interested in additional dialogue on these topics. All interviewees responded positively to the contact initiated through this project and were eager to continue a broader community dialogue. Most organizations had a positive perception of the City, but many were unaware of Renton’s sustainability efforts. Green efforts are underway in Renton’s business community Energy and water efficiency.Most larger organizations have worked with PSE to implement energy efficiency measures targeting buildings, lighting, and equipment. Examples of innovative approaches to water-use efficiency and re-use include PACCAR, Renton School District, and Boeing. Water efficiency appears to be an area ripe for further improvements (e.g. low-flow sinks and toilets). Waste and materials use. With few exceptions, interviewees reported that they had established recycling programs at their workplaces. Interviewees highlighted composting and waste reduction as key opportunities. Companies such as Boeing and PACCAR are undertaking innovative waste prevention and reduction efforts and sharing these successes throughout the community could be valuable. Most organizations do not include sustainability factors in their procurement decisions, but Wizards of the Coast is one example of a firm examining the lifecycle and sustainability of its product lines.

However, larger organizations generally had more resources available to improve efficiencies and address broader initiatives and had a greater awareness of clean economy opportunities. The larger organizations all had instituted innovative sustainability projects, while smaller organizations were more constrained by short-term bottom-line financial considerations. Larger organizations also emphasized financial feasibility but had a longer time horizon to evaluate return on investment. Renewable energy Renewable energy appears to be the least developed area of the clean energy economy in Renton. Few examples existed of renewable energy investments, and interviewees had little awareness of information on the business case to support solar, wind, and other renewables at an institutional level. However, a few organizations were exploring small-scale wind generation. Interviewees are relying on Puget Sound Energy to make positive strides.

Having a staff champion helped, but organizations with CEO or other executive team commitment appeared more advanced. Most organizations expressed interest in a community or business roundtable to share best practices, coordinate and support broader outreach efforts, and help the City establish priorities. Support for a green recognition program was also strong. Business & Community Engagement Transportation & fleets Renton employers stressed transportation solutions as critical: the need for clean and efficient transportation to address congestion, bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and gaps in public transit service. Fleet fuel efficiency is one future opportunity. Only a few organizations (Valley Medical Center and Boeing) had made targeted investments in high-efficiency, hybrid, or zero emissions vehicles. Employers cited electric vehicles (EVs) as an exciting opportunity and expressed awareness of EV efforts in the region, due in part to the City outreach. A few were planning to install EV infrastructure in parking stalls. All interviewees wanted more information on the region’s EV Project.

Over the last three years, Boeing has reduced its waste by 30 percent. The company is now looking to reduce waste upstream from its suppliers, increase recycling, and compost to achieve a 75 percent recycling and reduction target by 2012. Boeing also has saved energy through its lighting management system and invested in cleaner vehicles. PACCAR offers a number of hybrid engines for its trucks. The company has installed rain sensors to decrease water use for irrigation in the summer and has implemented changes in chemicals to reduce rinse requirements. PACCAR recently incorporated non-heat cure paints, motion-control lighting in offices, and energy metering. The company has been composting and recycling extensively in the process of implementing a Zero Waste to Landfill program. Wizards of the Coast is leading a study on energy efficiency improvements in information technology. The company is assessing the lifecycle and sustainability of its products. Wizards recently decided to abolish all wire ties and is striving to integrate environmentally friendly and recyclable content in its product lines. Before moving into its current building, Wizards worked with its property manager to upgrade building energy efficiency. . IKEA gave every U.S. employee a bicycle as a holiday bonus in 2010 to encourage bike commuting, and the Renton store is considering measures to encourage alternative commutes based on a recent employee survey.

The company has worked with textile mills to build schools and healthcare clinics for workers and their families in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Walmart has established three overarching sustainability goals: 1) utilizing 100 percent renewable energy, 2) creating zero waste, and 3) selling products that sustain people and resources. Between February 2008 and January 2009, U.S. Walmart stores diverted more than 57 percent of the waste generated by stores and facilities. Commitments to renewable energy and sustainable products are reflected in such actions as the addition of solar panels to store rooftops in the U.S. and the recent decision to source local produce. At the Renton Walmart, great strides have been made with the reuse of freight boxes and the recycling of all in-store lighting.

The District recently received $2.4 million in state funds to pay for improved HVAC, water conservation measures, inefficient lighting, new boilers, and other building improvements. Renton Technical College is working on a regional community college collaborative, the Sound Energy Efficiency Development (SEED) Program, to develop training and certifications for energy efficiency and weatherization audits. The college has implemented energy upgrades throughout its campus, saving energy and allowing the college to monitor energy costs. The college is interested in offering hybrid vehicle training in its automotive classes but needs hybrid vehicle donations. Renton Technical College has the skills and interest to work with property managers on energy efficiency and could be a valuable partner with the City on commercial energy initiatives. Institutional LeadershipValley Medical Center has overhauled a central utility plant to be more energy efficient, including installing more efficient boilers and chillers. The medical center partnered with a local car dealer to help employees purchase hybrid vehicles, resulting in an estimated doubling of hybrid cars in the employee lot, and it plans to install 16 electric vehicle charging stations. Valley Medical Center has also made significant efforts to support local businesses, such as purchasing patient furniture manufactured in Kent.

Engage Renton’s leading employers in a dialogue on the clean economy and sustainability. Several organizations suggested that city staff visit companies to “get to know them.” One-on- one meetings with Renton’s major employers provide an opportunity for sharing the City’s accomplishments and goals and for establishing a dialogue with the business community. This outreach can help advance both clean energy efforts and broader economic development goals to retain and support a thriving business base. 2-2. Organize and facilitate roundtables with Renton’s business leaders. Interviews with Renton employers indicate a strong interest in learning from and sharing success with others. Many business leaders responded positively to the idea of a roundtable or similar forum. Seattle has been successful in engaging its business leaders in climate protection goals through the Seattle Climate Partnership. Similarly, Puget Sound Energy is working closely with Eastside business and government leaders to provide a similar forum on clean energy and sustainability. The City should either actively promote the Eastside group to Renton leaders or partner with local leaders to establish a Renton-specific business group focused on clean economy and sustainability topics.

Develop a green guide for Renton’s business leaders. The City should consider developing a simple resource guide in both hard copy and online to support local business actions on resource efficiency, alternative transportation, and greenhouse gas reductions. Partnerships with relevant City departments, Puget Sound Energy (PSE), and King County’s Commute Trip Reduction programs could provide resources and support. PSE in particular is interested in how to work with local governments and smaller businesses to achieve energy efficiency goals. 2-4. Support the business community in facilitating local and regional transportation solutions. Interviews with Renton employers highlight widespread interest in moving forward with community transportation solutions. Congestion, bottlenecks, and limited access to public and alternative transportation hinder business success and employee satisfaction. The transportation issue arose in every business interview. We recommend that the City quickly develop a strategy to engage the business community around transportation with the twin goals of implementing tools to address immediate problems as well as forming a durable partnership to advocate for longer-term solutions through policies and infrastructure investments. Business & Community Engagement Tools for engaging and supporting the business community As part of its business retention strategy, Seattle’s Office of Economic Development established a 2011 goal to visit 700 medium-sized businesses in Seattle. Working in partnership with a number of community organizations, the City meets one-on-one with major employers to learn about needs and identify opportunities to help these businesses to expand and grow. Seattle Climate Partnership is a voluntary pact among Seattle-area employers to take action to reduce their own emissions, and to work together to help meet the community-wide goal. Members make greenhouse gas reduction commitments and benefit from a suite of tools, services, recognition, and networking opportunities. The Eastside Sustainable Business Alliance is a fusion of regional businesses, local governments, and utilities dedicated to advancing sustainable operations and positive community impacts. The partnership provides a plethora of benefits to its members, including technical tools, idea-sharing, marketing opportunities, events, roundtables, expert advice, and best practices. Northwest Energy Angels can help connect clean technology entrepreneurs with experienced clean tech investors.

Consider developing a green recognition program for Renton’s community leaders. Similar to Kirkland’s Green Business Program and Seattle’s Resource Venture program, Renton could recognize local employers for their environmentally friendly practices. Such a program could take many forms including building on Renton’s Shop Renton, Buy Ahead of the Curve campaign, leveraging the C-7 New Energy Partnership, or aligning with broader countywide efforts such as King County’s Sustainable Cities, EnviroStars, and Master Builders programs. One ripe opportunity is for Renton to engage its business community in a new initiative involving ICLEI, the Eastside Sustainable Business Alliance, and Seattle Climate Partnership to spur an East-West Green Business Challenge to reduce emissions and increase efficiencies.

King County Solid Waste Division’s LinkUp Program has been working closely with Seattle Public Utilities to expand local carpet recycling and divert this material from landfills. Now, through a partnership with the Washington State Department of Commerce and the Kent Office of Economic Development, the collaboration is helping to identify appropriate sites in Kent for national companies looking to establish facilities to process used carpet for recycling. In Auburn, officials and staff have been working to establishing public- private partnerships to attract and incubate clean tech businesses to Auburn’s Environmental Park District (EPD). One biotech firm is located in the EPD and a group of nanotech scientists is moving into the EPD. Auburn’s future plans include establishing a “green” incubator building in the EPD. Kirkland’s Green Business Program is an incentive program created in partnership between the City of Kirkland, the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, and Puget Sound Energy to recognize licensed Kirkland- based businesses for their environmentally-friendly practices across 7 lines of business: Green building, waste reduction and recycling, water conservation, energy efficiency, transportation, pollution prevention, and green power. Business & Community Engagement 2-6. Continue to develop and market tools and incentives to attract new businesses—particularly clean technology companies. Renton already offers key benefits and services to businesses considering locating in the city. Renton businesses can benefit from low taxes, affordability, access to key transportation corridors, streamlined permitting, and personalized assistance by competent city staff. Accordingly, Renton is well-positioned to effectively to capture clean economy jobs and industries. With the region’s focus on clean technology, Renton can identify its own local assets and strengths to spur development of its own clean economy. Clean tech industries continue to grow and offer community benefits such as living wage jobs, reduced waste and pollution, and new technology innovations. As indicated in the sidebar, a number of local governments are putting partnerships in place to attract and support local businesses and industry clusters.

Spur local green jobs. Connecting working families to the clean economy creates good jobs, restores communities, and improves our environment. Renton is fortunate to have a world-class employer base, Renton Technical College, and other local institutions working to ensure that residents have access to training and skill- building and employers have access to a capable local workforce. The City should provide leadership for delivering tangible green economy benefits to workers and employers in Renton. In addition, City-led efforts to create demand energy efficiency services will spur real opportunities for graduates of Renton Technical College’s energy training programs. ICLEI, Green for All, and several regional partnerships are key resources for the City as it engages in these efforts. 2-8. Provide green resources for residents on Renton’s website. To establish Renton’s leadership and facilitate community action, the City could provide information on actions community members can take to support a clean energy economy. Currently, Renton’s Neighborhood Program provides a connection between the City and its residents. Renton should use this program or a similar structure to help residents identify clean energy strategies for their homes or small businesses, understand their concerns in implementing these strategies, and provide feedback on government programs.

Facilitate a community dialogue around a broader “Clean Economy Agenda” for Renton. As the City defines its clean economy goals, it will be helpful to facilitate a broader conversation about the community’s vision, goals, and actions related to the clean economy, sustainability, and “green” initiatives. For example, other local initiatives include the City of Shoreline’s forevergreen initiative, Issaquah’s Sustainable City Indicators, and Edmonds’ partnership with Climate Solutions to build a clean energy community. Each of these efforts involved broad community engagement to define goals and develop a framework to achieve outcomes. For example, as part of Climate Solutions’ New Energy Cities, over 60 Edmonds community leaders, including the Mayor, the City Council President, the General Manager of Snohomish PUD, and other business leaders and citizens recently convened to explore how the City can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions levels to 25 percent below 1995 levels by 2035. Participants are helping to creating a roadmap that charts implementation steps for Edmond’s new energy future.

Using resources wisely and selecting environmentally preferably products conserves natural resources, protects human and ecosystem health, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and saves money. Generating renewable energy—from the sun, wind, water, earth, and waste materials—also saves resources, reduces emissions and waste, and supports community resilience and autonomy. This chapter first addresses the City’s procurement policies and procedures, which affect resource use throughout its operations. It then offers resource efficiency findings specific to energy, water, materials, and waste, followed by recommendations. RENTON TODAY Procurement Renton’s current procurement policies are decentralized and do not include specifications for green products or environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP). Interviewed staff members mentioned the value of a long lifespan for products (durability), and some staff referred to a prevailing opinion that recycled products have shorter life spans. Interviewees shared several examples of environmentally preferable procurement efforts including the following efforts: The municipal golf course uses driving range mats made from recycled tires, and its restaurant offers local food. Contractors on Renton’s road construction jobs recycled asphalt and concrete. The print shop recently started purchasing recycled content paper. Cooperative Solar Energy in Edmonds The City of Edmonds recently established a cooperative solar power program. This cooperative is leasing space on the rooftop of the Parks and Recreation Department to install solar panels. This installation should provide a significant share of the department’s electricity and save more than $30,000 over the next two decades. Investors in the co-op include local residents and businesses, which buy shares managed by a local business called Tangerine Power. Key steps in this process included the City Council’s endorsement of using city-owned rooftops to capture solar electricity, state incentives for participants in community solar projects, and the efforts of a community group, Sustainable Edmonds.

Staff members are exploring relationships with energy service companies (ESCOs) to undertake additional building efficiency projects. The greenhouse gas inventory shows that commercial and residential energy use per person in Renton is higher than in several local comparison cities, suggesting opportunities for significant savings. Renton has leveraged federal funding and utility rebates to implement energy efficiency measures, including the following efforts: Renton updated the heating and cooling system at the former City Hall (200 Mill Building), increasing its Energy Star Score from 18 to 66 and saving the City $50,000 annually. PSE’s Building Energy Optimization Program, along with other utility programs and rebates, helped fund the new HVAC system as well as lighting and plumbing motor upgrades. The City is using federal funding to upgrade more than half of Renton’s 121 signalized intersections to more efficient LED lighting. Information technology staff are increasing energy efficiency. Examples include buying more efficient Energy Star equipment, setting computers to save energy (sleep) when not in use, using duplex printing, and investing in server virtualization and a more efficient phone system. Renton is providing residents with Home Energy Reports that highlight energy use compared to their neighbors. These reports—provided in partnership with C-7 cities, Puget Sound Energy, and OPOWER— have been shown to yield energy savings elsewhere.

The county treatment plant also participated in a demonstration project to recover energy from methane gas. Renton is actively promoting water conservation and habitat protection efforts, as a member of the Partnership for Water Conservation. The City helps residents reduce water consumption by identifying leaks and changing landscaping materials and practices. The award-winning municipal golf course uses recycled water to clean golf balls and is considering using reclaimed water to irrigate the course. Materials, waste, and recycling Renton is undertaking waste reduction and recycling efforts in both its operations and its community programs and services, including the following examples: With an impressive single-family residential recycling rate of 70 percent,Renton is a regional leader in actions and policies to reduce waste, recycle, and compost. Renton collects residential food waste weekly and offers recycling to all sectors, which enabled the City to decrease garbage collection to every other week. The City’s contracted hauler, Waste Management, is switching to cleaner compressed natural gas-fueled vehicles, and all collection vehicles are using a biodiesel blend.

Renton Parks uses green clippings as mulch and redistributes aeration cores at the golf course. The new Tiffany Park facility was constructed using recycled materials, including wood from the previous building and recycled concrete. The Public Works department reuses backfill from rebuilding lift stations and installing pipes. Road sweepers reuse sand from the road and use leaves collected to produce compost for city projects or area landscapers. With far lower recycling rates for the multifamily and commercial waste streams, many opportunities remain to reduce waste and divert materials from the landfill. The commercial sector is particularly ripe for improvement. Cascadia conducted additional analysis to identify key commercial recycling opportunities and found that the food service industry presents one of the biggest diversion opportunity. Other potential sectors include business services, medical/health, and other professional and general service sectors. Specific recommendations for diverting commercial waste appear in Recommendation 3-4.

Streamline procurement and incorporate environmental guidelines into purchasing policies and contracts. As a facility manager and consumer, the City has a tremendous opportunity to create local demand for greener, more energy-efficient products. Some criteria or categories to consider when developing a green purchasing strategy include: Energy –embodied and end-use energy Hazardous Substances –the production and use of toxic substances in both indoor and outdoor environments and disposal Air Quality –indoor and outdoor air quality impacts from production, transport, and use. Water –consumption and pollution of water End-of-Life Management –design for recyclability, remanufacture, and disposal issues Social Responsibility –corporate social responsibility considerations throughout a product’s lifecycle, including labor rights, human rights, and community involvement 3-2. Establish energy performance standards and reporting for city buildings and pursue additional energy efficiency opportunities. Renton can lead by example by establishing incentives or mandates to require high- performing public buildings as well as energy performance disclosure using free energy management tools such as Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager. The state energy code requires that nonresidential buildings greater than 50,000 square feet (SF) disclose energy performance and the threshold will decrease to 10,000 SF in 2012.

Additional energy efficiency opportunities for the City to pursue include following: Partner with PSE or an energy service company (ESCO) to identify cost-effective retrofit opportunities in targeted buildings, including lighting upgrades. The greenhouse gas inventory highlights the Henry Moses Aquatic Center, Cedar Trail Park Restroom, Phillip Arnold Park Restroom, and Liberty Park Community Building as opportunities for energy efficiency upgrades. Due to generous rebates, lighting upgrades tend to be the most cost-effective investment. Rebates may end this year for replacing T12 fluorescent tubes with more efficient T8 lamps, so the time is ripe to work with PSE to upgrade these fixtures now. Pursue continued improvements in green computing and information technology (IT). Green IT solutions is a key business topic. As the City implements its own efforts, they should reach out to Wizards of the Coast to benefit from its work and share this information with the broader community. This could be a featured topic of a business roundtable (see Recommendation 2-2). Implement additional energy-saving measures in traffic and street lighting. Renton is upgrading nearly half of its traffic signals to efficient LED lighting, and additional investments could yield further savings. The City of Portland’s traffic signal upgrade investments paid for themselves in less than three years. Renton should further evaluate public lighting levels, new street light technologies, and public safety needs to assess energy-saving opportunities associated with street lighting levels, which currently go beyond federal safety requirements. Consider opportunities for district energy approaches in planning new infrastructure. In developing large parcels (such as Boeing’s excess capacity), opportunities may exist to gain efficiencies through district heating and cooling. The City may be able to promote or facilitate such efforts.

Team with PSE and other partners to implement weatherization and energy efficiency efforts throughout the Renton community. Renton could build off current efforts to work with PSE on the Home Energy Audit Program and launch more comprehensive energy efficiency services to Renton’s residents and businesses. A number of new community energy pilots are underway in our region and could inform such an effort (see following page). Examples include direct-install of energy saving devices, subsidized home and business energy audits, and affordable loans to finance energy upgrades. Implementing such efforts in Renton could bring additional energy savings and support local demand for the graduates of Renton Technical College’s energy efficiency programs.

First piloted in Seattle, Powerful Neighborhoods now moving south to additional Seattle City Light communities. The Community Energy Challenge is a one-stop shop for achieving energy efficiency from start to finish in Bellingham Whatcom County. Coordinated by a partnership involving non- profits, utilities, local governments, and lenders, the program offers residents and businesses energy assessments, assistance with utility and tax rebates, accessible financing opportunities and top quality contractors with 100 percent quality control. SustainableWorks is a community-based non-profit that provides reduced cost energy audits and retrofits in various communities. The program uses utility incentives and stimulus funds to provide customers with greatly reduced cost audits and home energy efficiency improvements and low-interest financing is available. RePower Bainbridge is a three- year community wide energy efficiency campaign designed to help Island homeowners and businesses reduce energy-and costs-through energy efficiency to become more energy independent and sustainable. Thurston Energy strives to be a pathway to savings by identifying energy efficiency opportunities, prioritizing them in order of effectiveness, recommending local contractors, and helping line up rebates, tax incentives, discounts and financing to pay for improvements. Thurston Energy is a federally-funded program of the nonprofit groups Thurston Climate Action Team and Thurston Economic Development Council. Community Power Works is a neighborhood- based program that helps central and southeast Seattle residents make energy- efficient improvements to their homes. Fair, affordable loans and a variety of utility and government rebates are available to qualifying homeowners.

Facilitate private-sector and institutional investments in renewable energy generation, such as through incentives, supportive codes, and expedited permitting. 3-5. Advance waste prevention and diversion of materials in the City’s own operations, with haulers, and through targeted efforts in specific sectors. Key opportunities to improve recycling rates and save money include the following: Conduct a City “paper cut” challenge to reduce paper use and save money, resources, and emissions. The City uses an estimated 2 million sheets of paper annually (see breakdown by department in sidebar). A fun interdepartmental contest could help motivate employee action to reduce paper use.

Waste generation data from City facilities were not collected as part of the greenhouse gas inventory because the City does not have this data. Renton should explore ways to monitor solid waste generation at its own City facilities for future inventories and tracking. In addition, the City should build on the successful residential organics recycling program and look to implement composting programs at City facilities as well as public venues such as the Farmer’s Market and Renton River Days. Provide outreach and assistance to targeted sectors to increase commercial recycling rates. Based on estimates of commercial disposal2, the five sectors with the highest potential for solid waste diversion collectively account for nearly half (44%) of the total tons disposed from all of Renton’s businesses (Food Service-Sit Down, Medical Health Services, Other Professional, Business Services, and Other Miscellaneous Services). Estimated diversion potential of these five sectors sums to 6,986 tons, representing 61 percent of these sectors’ solid waste and 27 percent of all waste from Renton’s businesses (see sidebar). Renton could target the largest businesses in these “low-hanging fruit” sectors to maximize diversion.

Work with haulers and composting facilities to identify composting opportunities for Renton food establishments. Renton’s 250+food establishments are among Renton’s five most waste producing sectors, with 2,309 tons of solid waste disposed annually. Much of this sector’s solid waste could be diverted: the food establishment sector holds the highest diversion potential in Renton, both in absolute tons and by percent of sector’s total disposed waste. Of the 2,309 tons of solid waste disposed annually by Renton’s food establishments, 1,919 tons, or 83%, of disposed solid waste could be recycled (391 tons) or composted (1,527 tons). Renton should explore opportunities to implement a commercial food scrap and organics collection and processing program for this sector.

Several local jurisdictions such as Seattle and Issaquah have recently implemented such bans to reduce litter and protect water quality. EPS Ban: Recommended Steps If Renton considers banning expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam used for food packaging, the City can learn from recent experiences in Seattle and Issaquah. Recommended steps for assessing the benefits and costs of a foam ban include the following efforts: Assess available budget for implementation, education, enforcement, and administration. Unlike a tax or fee, a ban on single-use foam food- service packaging will not generate revenue for the City, and resources are needed for outreach, implementation, and enforcement. Gauge public support. Community interest may influence the City’s desire to pursue a foam ban. Public support could be measured through a basic online survey or public meetings. Build business community support.Renton has about 260 sit-down and quick-serve restaurants, approximately 8 percent of all the City’s businesses. Foam bans tend to increase packaging costs for businesses, with alternatives being more expensive. Education on the ordinance should highlight potential cost savings on waste disposal by reducing waste. The City could also consider providing financial incentives and assistance to affected businesses, such as free indoor compost and recycling collection containers and bags; discounts on waste, compost, and recycling services; customer education materials; and access to a purchasing cooperative. Mandate compostable or recyclable alternatives and collection along with a foam ban. To increase waste diversion, legislation around a foam ban should include a directive to use recyclable or compostable alternatives and to provide for collection of these materials in all restaurants.

Compact development with access to services and amenities, walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, greener infrastructure, and natural systems promotes public health, greater efficiency, thriving communities, and less waste and pollution. Infrastructure requirements, building operations, and transportation needs associated with low-density development patterns result in roughly 2.5 times the annual greenhouse gas emissions and double the energy use per person compared to higher-density development patterns.3 Low- density development also costs more for families and households with significant monthly income going towards transportation costs. RENTON TODAY With Renton’s location near key regional transportation routes, residents and business benefit from easy access to major state highways and interstate freeways. At the same time, drivers often face slowdowns and choke points that hinder mobility and increase commute times. Just under half of Renton’s greenhouse gas emissions come from vehicle miles traveled in the city (by residents and others). Through low and zero tailpipe emission vehicles, green fleet maintenance, commute trip reduction strategies, and a coordinated multimodal transportation system, Renton can reduce its carbon footprint, improve local air quality, and offer employees and employers more predictable and pleasant commutes. Sustainable Development in Renton’s 2009 Comprehensive Plan Relevant goals and strategies include: Provide for a mix of land uses, housing types, and densities (Policy CP-8). Emphasize the use of low impact development and stormwater management techniques (Policy EN- 10). Acquire sensitive lands such as wetlands and floodplains for conversion to parks and greenbelts (Policy EN-11). Carefully manage land uses in areas subject to geologic hazards. Preserve and enhance existing vegetation and tree canopy coverage (Policy EN-18). Promote air quality through reduction in emissions from industry, traffic, commercial, and residential uses (Policy EN-22). Establish canopy cover goals and promote urban forestry programs in order to maintain healthy atmospheric conditions (Policy EN-23). 3 “Comparing High and Low Residential Density,” Journal of Urban Planning and Development (March 2006).

As part of the Clean Cities grant and the EV Project, the City will install 15 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Landing and City Center garage, the Renton Community Center, City Hall and city fleet maintenance shops to help spur public and private use of electric vehicles. In its own fleet operations, the City has been increasing fuel efficiency through vehicle replacements. For example, the Public Works department recently purchased a hybrid truck and is purchasing two additional hybrid vehicles. The municipal greenhouse gas inventory showed that the City’s fleet contributed 18 percent of Renton’s municipal greenhouse gas emissions in 2009, with police patrol representing the single largest share. City employee commuting Renton’s 2009 Commute Trip Reduction Survey showed that 83 percent of the City’s 375 employees drive alone to work, with the average one-way commute distance approaching 12 miles. Approximately 20 percent of City employees indicated interest in the opportunity to work at home (telework) rather than commute. The City has taken steps to promote more efficient commuting to and from work, winning awards for its commute trip reduction program and recognition on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Best Workplaces for Commuters” list (2006). To reduce drive-alone commutes, Renton provides free FlexPasses to some employees, which cover unlimited rides on Sounder commuter rail, King County Metro Transit, Pierce Transit, and Sound Transit buses and subsidize King County Metro VanPool and VanShare fares. Alternatives to commuting In the Washington State Commute Trip Reduction survey, Renton employees indicated preferences for: 20%--work at home (telework). 11%--a financial incentive (allowance/subsidy). 10%--an immediate ride home in case of emergency. 9%--transportation during lunch or breaks for personal errands. 9%--more frequent bus service at the worksite.

The Renton Urban Shuttle (RUSH) transports commuters from downtown Renton to major employment sites, though cuts in funding have reduced frequency. In 1996, Renton became the first city in King County to participate in Metro’s suburban, hub-based transit system. A downtown transit center completed in 2001 provides a central hub for bus activity, with an associated park-and-ride lot and apartment and condominium complexes. This transit-oriented development hub is supported by local shopping and is the future destination of a new library. As part of the STEP AWAY from the car program, the Renton is working with King County Metro and the Cities of Kent, Renton, and Tukwila to offer area employers five economical ways to help employees get out of their cars and into healthier, cheaper and greener commuting options (see sidebar). In 2010, the Cascade Bicycle Club ranked Renton second highest in the region for “bikeability,” outscoring Everett, Tacoma, Bellevue, Auburn, Kent, Federal Way, and Shoreline. Major bicycle facilities include the Cedar River Trail and Lake Washington Boulevard and Renton recently adopted a Trails and Bicycle Master Plan (2009) which provides recommendations for addressing such issues as limited crossing points of the Cedar River, I-405, and Sunset Boulevard/SR-900 as well as the lack of connections between downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. The City is working to enhance the overall safety of its bike trails, through centerline stripes and education and outreach on trail etiquette. Renton’s bicycle parking ordinance mandates that residential developments with more than five units include parking spaces for bikes. STEP AWAY from the car Five economical options for Renton employers to help their employees get out of their cars: 1.Create a transit-friendly workplace with a 50% rebate on annual transit passes 2.Create a walk-friendly workplace with free consultation and services from Feet First 3.Create a bike-friendly workplace with free consultation and services from Cascade Bicycle Club 4.Appoint an employee ambassador who can provide commute assistance in a language other than English and receive free commute training 5.Learn about affordable telework solutions and new opportunities it could provide to your business Mobility, Land Use & DevelopmentDRAFT 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 6 2 o f 7 3 1 Findings & Recommendations Land Use, Development & Stormwater Stormwater management Renton adopted a modified version of the King County Surface Water Manual, which provides guidance on using low impact development (LID) rather than conventional stormwater management. The City has made various related code revisions, including allowing LID techniques where feasible, setting impervious coverage limits in all zones, reducing residential street widths, and requiring street trees and vegetation. Several private developments in Renton have applied LID techniques. The City is moving forward on two proposals to incorporate LID into public developments at King County Libraries and in the Sunset area of the Highlands. The City’s Complete Streets ordinance includes wide (usually 8-foot) vegetated strips in the right-of-way for newly constructed roads as well as for retrofitted roads. These planting strips provide sufficient space to allow bioswales and rain gardens and significant tree growth for larger species. Renton currently has an interdepartmental team examining different LID options appropriate for use in rights-of- way. Green infrastructure Renton’s municipal golf course has earned recognition for its sustainable land management practices. The golf course received the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Certification at the Gold Level, recognizing its chemical use reduction, wildlife and habitat management, water use efficiency, and sustainable management practices. Renton is taking steps to manage its tree resources and recently valued its public property trees at more than $22 million, in terms of replacement and real estate values, according to its canopy cover assessment. In 2009, the City Council approved the Urban Community Forestry Development Plan to guide Renton’s urban forestry efforts over the next decade. Renton implements a 30% tree retention policy for single- family development, and tree cutting requires permits and replacement trees. Renton was designated a Tree City USA Community in 2009 and it has a city forester on staff.

Waste Management supports quarterly neighborhood workshops on natural yard care, where participants can learn about soil health, pesticide use reduction, and worm bins. Compact, smart growth Through King County’s Growth Management Planning Council, Renton works collaboratively with other jurisdictions to plan for economic and population growth. The GMPC has developed and adopted Countywide Planning Policies, which serve as a framework for each jurisdiction to develop its own comprehensive plan. Renton has received financing and community direction to implement smart growth land use policies in selected areas. The Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy—developed with the Renton Housing Authority, the Renton School District, and the community—includes such strategies as use of underutilized land, redevelopment of existing public housing, upgrade of public infrastructure, improvement of pedestrian linkages, and enhancement of community services and amenities. Renton’s housing growth targets are significantly higher than any of the “core cities” in the Puget Sound region. The City is creating a new community plan for the City Center and central Renton neighborhoods to provide guidance for the area’s future development with a focus on enhancing public realms with green space and trees and improving multi-modal transportation options into and within the area.

These efforts will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote public health, and minimize waste and pollution. 4-1. Renton should continue to promote clean vehicle incentives and programs. Clean vehicles are one important element of transportation solutions, specifically in reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and reducing dependence on petroleum. Most Renton employers interviewed as part of this strategy indicated serious interest in learning more about electric vehicles for their fleets and employees. Renton should continue to upgrade its own fleets and engage the community on new opportunities to adopt EVs and other high-mileage and alternative-fuel vehicles. Prioritize fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles when upgrading Renton’s fleet. The City’s fleet fuel economy currently averages only 14 miles per gallon, far below the state’s 2015 standard of 36 mpg. Renton should carefully consider fuel efficiency when replacing older vehicles and target high- emission, high-use vehicles for upgrades.

Work with King County Metro, Sound Transit, and local businesses to reduce single- occupancy vehicle (SOV) commute trips. SOVs represent a major share of Renton’s employee commute trips. Interviews with Renton employers indicate that addressing commute trip reduction and congestion are top business priorities. The City should work with transit agencies and employers to provide the right mix of incentives and tools to reduce SOV trips in Renton. Redmond’s R-TRIP program (see sidebar) offers an innovative model for designing transportation incentives to spur behavior change and support local businesses. Engage Renton’s leaders and transportation advocates in a Keeping Renton Moving dialog about how to leverage transit and other transportation investments for Renton. Interviews with Renton’s employers highlighted transportation as a leading business issue. IKEA management described Renton’s transit system as the “biggest limiting factor” in attaining sustainability and employee satisfaction, and numerous other interviewees underscored the need for additional public transit opportunities for their employees. 4-3. Foster smart growth and compact, walkable communities through policies, plans, and incentives. To support attractive, walkable centers and non- vehicular connections between neighborhoods and shopping districts, Renton should create and maintain public amenities as resources allow and leverage private resources to create additional benefits. Elements of the City Center and Sunset Area plans such as common spaces, district level stormwater and green connections, and “third place” opportunities should be applied in Renton’s secondary mixed-use growth centers and corridors. Improve the pedestrian realm and linkages to goods and services.Recognize all users of the public right of way, and improve non-vehicular travel options and safety between primarily residential areas and shopping. Provide the choice of starting a car or leaving it home. R-TRIP, the Redmond Trip Resource & Incentive Program offers commute calendaring, ridematching, incentives, and tracking. Users receive instant, dynamic feedback on key metrics (vehicle trips reduced, gallons of gas saved, CO2 reduced) to make them aware of their progress toward personal, individual, employer, citywide and regional goals. R-TRIP encourages local economic development by providing behavior reward certificates to local businesses. https://www.gortrip.com Hybrid Police Vehicles The police fleet of the City of Mountlake Terrace currently includes hybrid vehicles. Other cities around the country have also purchased hybrid vehicles for police use, including cities in New York, Hawaii, North Carolina, New Jersey, Utah, Texas, and California. The City of Mercer Island estimates that replacing two Crown Victoria models with hybrid Toyota Highlanders will save $4,000 a year and reduce emissions by 13 mtCO2e annually. www.ci.mountlake- terrace.wa.us/.../090320_GreenFleet4H ybridsInService.pdf www.mercergov.org/files/05%20Sustai nability.pdf Mobility, Land Use & DevelopmentDRAFT 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 6 6 o f 7 3 1 Findings & Recommendations Promote the transition of strip-malls to main streets in neighborhood centers. Suburban style, car dependent development is prevalent in commercial areas outside of Renton’s City Center. Building off the Sunset Area example along NE Sunset Boulevard, key nodes along corridors should be designed with main street amenities in mind to create inviting, vibrant public spaces as well as distinct identities for these centers. Invest in and encourage green infrastructure in the public and private realms.Renton should use its recent canopy cover assessment to help inform green space needs. Green space and canopy cover provide recreational activities for residents, as well as a more hospitable landscape. Trees and vegetation raise property values and increase rents and spending by consumers in shopping districts. 4-4. Model low impact development (LID) practices on high-profile parcels and public right- of-ways and incorporate green elements into public and private developments through investments, policies, and incentives. Incorporate LID into highly visible public projects, building on Renton’s current efforts at King County Libraries and in the Sunset area of the Highlands. The City should review projects for their potential to incorporate LID, including modifications in rights-of-way, the Complete Streets ordinance, and relevant capital improvement projects. Features may include bioswales or rain gardens in rights-of-way, pervious paving on multi-use paths, and traffic- calming features that double as rain gardens. Promote the use of LID in private projects.The City could use incentives to encourage use of LID in private properties, (see sidebar with LID incentives). Depending on the volume of applications received, the City may need to devote resources to training permit review staff to review LID proposals. Possible Renton low impact development (LID) Incentives For developers who use LID: •Allow greater residential densities. •Allow greater building heights and floor area ratios as well as reduced setbacks. •Reduce parking requirements for new developments. •Wave all or a portion of the submittal fees on LID projects. •Lower stormwater system development fees or lower monthly billings. •Allow to account for stormwater treated on-site, when calculating the amount of conventional stormwater management required. For property owners: •Assess surface water utility fees based on impervious surface. •Reduce water utility fees contingent on proper on-site infiltration or use.

Some actions require partnerships and longer-term investments, while others are easy to implement by City staff alone. Taken together, the recommendations provide initial direction to help the City advance its four goals identified at the start of this project: 1.Reduce operating costs for both the City and the community through energy-saving and resource- efficiency measures. 2.Understand greenhouse gas impacts and identify cost- effective steps to reduce emissions and save energy. 3.Capitalize on opportunities for funding and investment, including federal grants, state infrastructure funding, and other regional investments. 4.Identify new initiatives for a competitive, clean local economy and fulfill Renton’s commitment to stay “ahead of the curve.” However, with 22 recommendations, it can be daunting to determine where to begin! Starting with a few strategic actions can help focus the effort and achieve early wins, contributing to overall sustainability of the program. Therefore, five immediate steps are recommended below to firmly put Renton on the path to developing a more prosperous and clean economy over time. Step 1. Formalize the commitment and establish a Green Team Step 2. Identify and implement additional resource conservation upgrades at City facilities and set high standards for new infrastructure Step 3. Engage with employers on efforts to green their businesses and the Renton community Step 4.

Launch a transportation campaign in Renton to engage the community in both short- term actions and long-term advocacy for regional transportation investments in Renton These steps integrate across many of the recommendations and are designed to create early momentum, build support for future efforts, achieve near-term cost-savings greenhouse gas reductions, and lay the groundwork for bolder initiatives. These five steps rose to the surface in reviewing the findings and opportunities as well as considering ways to build a foundation for long-term success. They will help establish leadership and coordination to focus and sustain actions. They directly align with the needs and interests of stakeholders. Finally, most are relatively easy to implement, at least in increments, and build on existing activities to leverage additional resources and partnerships.

Once in place, this commitment should be embedded into the City’s brand to strongly promote these values internally and externally. The Renton Business Plan and other formal City documents do articulate a number of green values, but could benefit from a more direct statement about the intention to drive toward a clean and green economy. Forming a Green Team is a key step for implementing clean economy investments and actions across the various departments and lines of business and demonstrating City leadership in the community. In addition, engaging staff will help to generate innovation and new ideas as well as put in place systems for monitoring and communicating progress over time. Step 2: Identify and implement additional resource conservation upgrades at City facilities and set high standards for new infrastructure (Actions 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-1) Leading by example through infrastructure investments sets the right example and can generate significant cost savings to benefit City operations. City buildings, fleets, and other infrastructure improvements are often easy to implement in that they fall within the purview of the City. There are a number of utility rebates, energy, and waste management companies available to help implement and deliver positive returns on these investments relatively quickly. Resource conservation activities provide tangible actions with quantifiable outcomes to show immediate progress in reducing cost and greenhouse gas emissions. The municipal greenhouse gas inventory provides a wealth of data and information to help drive greater efficiencies in specific buildings, fleets, and infrastructure.

Step 3: Engage with employers on efforts to green their businesses and the Renton community (Actions 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 3-4) Interviews with Renton employers indicate a high level of excitement and interest in the business community for sustainability and clean economy initiatives. Many of Renton’s employers are national leaders in resource conservation. They expressed strong green values and corporate leadership in these areas. At the same time, smaller businesses could benefit from greater assistance. Business leaders are interested in learning from one another as well as supporting efforts to create a clean economy. Partnership with utilities and waste management companies can enable the City to better support Renton’s business community to green operations and thrive through greater efficiency and cost savings. Through Renton’s participation with regional green business efforts such as the Eastside Sustainable Business Alliance as well as strategic partnerships with local institutions such as the Renton Chamber of Commerce and Renton Technical College, the City can foster greater public-private partnerships to achieve the City’s climate protection and clean economy goals. Step 4: Partner with utilities, institutions, employers, and others to implement a community energy program (Action 2-7, 2-8, 2-9, 3-2) Utilities such as Puget Sound Energy and Seattle City Light are looking for opportunities to partner with local governments to deliver community energy services, especially to underserved customers such as small businesses and lower income households.

The initiative could begin small by packaging and marketing available energy rebates and financing, or could involve developing new programs with utilities, Renton Technical College, and others to foster green jobs and economic development in the area of energy efficiency. Sustainable Works is a Tukwila-based non-profit delivering full service energy upgrades in select communities (currently working Spokane, Lynnwood-Edmonds, Seattle, and Shoreline). Climate Solutions’ New Energy Cities program is one opportunity for leveraging outside resources to support community energy initiatives. Federal grants and utility conservation dollars are other ideas for funding such an effort. Step 5: Launch a transportation campaign in Renton to engage the community in both short-term actions and long-term advocacy for regional transportation investments in Renton (Actions 2-4, 4-1, 4-2) Renton’s greenhouse gas inventory shows that approximately 50 percent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation activities. Interviews with Renton employers and staff indicate a high interest to tackle the city’s transportation challenges. Through planning and development, the City staff members are prioritizing compact and walkable neighborhoods and infrastructure to support multimodal transportation through investments in Complete Streets, public transit, trails and bike paths and participation in the STEP AWAY from the car effort.

Public Works has purchased some hybrids and are especially focused on converting to hybrids for their larger vehicles. They will be purchasing three more hybrids with grant money which pays for the delta between the cost of a conventi onal vehicle and a hybrid vehicle. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.Public Works is installing EV charging stations in city facilities. LED street lights.An LED street lights project is in the planning stages. Waste reduction.Renton’s garbage and recycling hauler, Waste Management, has been educating residents and businesses about reducing waste, including an annual business outreach collection program.Currently, there is a 72 percent residential recycling rate and there was a 20 percent reduction in paper use at the city level last year.Recycling bins are provided at all city-sponsored community events. Waste Management also uses natural gas to power their trucks. Surface water treatment.Renton recently adopted surface water policies developed by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Water conservation rebates.Public Works offers rebates for water-saving appliances. Bike Master Plan.In 2009, the Renton bike master plan was completed. On the horizon. Public Works is also exploring wastewater heat recovery (currently done by Boeing), water meter programs, and water reuse opportunities.

Low impact maintenance practices for golf course.The Parks Division maintains the golf course using an automated irrigation system and integrated pest management. Water is also recycled from the golf course and there are bioswales on site. Urban forestry program. The Parks Department just completed their urban forestry strategic plan. Renton also was recognized as a Tree City USA Community in 2008. Planning Renton adopted Complete Streets policy. As part of adopting Complete Streets, the use of impervious pavement will be reduced and the city will increase the use of low impact development techniques and pedestrian-focused, mixed-use street infrastructure. Information Technology Environmentally conscious product purchase, maintenance, and disposal practices . The Information Technology Division attempts to purchase Energy Star products when possible and recycles all e-waste. They also have consolidated servers to increase energy efficiency. Converting to electronic.More city documents are being stored electronically and video conferencing is now available. Some city of Renton staff members have the option of telecommuting, however this policy is not formally documented.

We are currently conducting a municipal and community greenhouse gas and energy inventory to quantify current energy use and impacts. We will be supplementing the inventory with external stakeholder interviews, staff interviews, community input, and extensive desktop research. This project is helping cross-educate different departments on what city divisions have been or are working on now in the energy & sustainability area. The Clean Economy Strategy will help the Renton community position itself to: Reduce operating costs for both the City and the community Meet state mandates, qualify for funding opportunities, and be ready for greenhouse gas regulations and markets Capitalize on opportunities for funding and investment Identify new initiatives for a competitive, clean local economy DRAFT Renton Clean Economy Staff Interview Guide The purpose of this interview is to glean your perspective about energy efficiency and conservation, sustainability, and renewable energy opportunities in Renton. We’re interested in learning more about current practices, policies, and programs; potential barriers; and key opportunities to increase energy efficiency, sustainability, and renewable energy in city operations and in the broader community.

We’d like to hear if these areas are a priority for your organization and what strides you may be already taking. We’d also like to hear about any ideas you might have for how the City can be a leader as well as support your organization in these areas. You may be aware that Renton is already engaging in a number of efforts to move towards a more efficient and cleaner economy. For example, the city is upgrading to more efficiency LED traffic signals, retrofitting buildings, piloting electric vehicle charging stations throughout the city, and partnering with Puget Sound Energy to help residents improve the efficiency of their homes.

The purpose of the inventory is to help Renton better understand its current impacts and provide a baseline from which to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy use, and costs. Inventories help cities identify and quantify their current emissions and activities, set appropriate and meaningful reduction targets and strategies, and measure progress toward meeting emission reduction goals. This first inventory provides a valuable framework that Renton can use to conduct future inventories, benchmark progress, realize energy cost savings, and reduce its environmental impacts. Cascadia worked closely with City staff at Renton to develop this inventory of GHG emissions from both the City’s municipal operations and the Renton community as a whole. We used this inventory of GHG emissions from both the City’s municipal operations and the Renton community as a whole. We used ICLEI’s Clean Air and Climate Protection software to conduct the inventory. Based on input and available data from the City of Renton, the inventory establishes 2009 as the baseline year for conducting measurements, setting targets, and monitoring future progress. As detailed in the greenhouse gas inventory that follows, the City of Renton’s municipal operations generated slightly more than 14,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (mtCO2e) in the base year 2009. Emissions sources included electricity consumption; natural gas, gasoline, and diesel combustion; and refrigerant gases. DRAFT The municipal inventory covered the following sectors: •Building energy use. •Fleet fuel consumption. •Water and wastewater pump stations (electricity use). •Refrigerants. •Traffic and street lights. •Business travel. •Employee commuting. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 1 5 o f 7 3 1 At the municipal level, building energy use generated the most emissions, accounting for 40% of the total municipal emissions. In 2009, the Renton community generated approximately 1.2 million mtCO2e. The community inventory included the following sectors: •Transportation (vehicle and air miles traveled). •Solid waste. •Residential, commercial, and industrial energy use. For the community inventory, transportation was the largest contributor, accounting for almost 50% of emissions. As Renton moves forward by setting emissions reduction goals, both nearby municipalities and existing frameworks can offer guidance. Adopted in 1997, the Kyoto Protocol is the prevailing framework for emissions reductions that many nations and a number of cities in the U.S. and around the world have adopted. More than 1,000 cities, including Renton, have signed on to the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, striving to meet the Kyoto targets in their own communities. The Kyoto Protocol stipulates a 7% reduction of emissions below 1990 levels by 2012. Washington State has adopted longer-term goals, including returning to 1990 levels by DRAFT Introduction2020. A number of local governments in the region have adopted targets using more recent base years, such as King County (2007 base year), Anacortes (2000), Bellingham (2000), Kirkland (2005), and Spokane (2005). In consideration of the detailed data available for Renton for 2009, Cascadia recommended and the City decided to use 2009 as Renton’s baseline year. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 1 6 o f 7 3 1 Analysis of Renton’s municipal and community inventories revealed opportunities for Renton to achieve its energy use and emissions reduction targets through straightforward actions. The most direct way for Renton to reduce its carbon footprint is by taking actions to lower emissions within its own municipal operations. Opportunities to reduce emissions from Renton’s highest-emitting sectors— transportation, water delivery, and vehicle fleet—include implementing energy efficiency management and performance monitoring systems for all City buildings, targeting cost- effective efficiency upgrades in the City’s most energy-intensive buildings, encouraging low impact development techniques to reduce wastewater, and creating policies for employees to use the most fuel-efficient vehicles whenever possible. Though emissions outside the City’s direct control may be more difficult to address, Renton could seek to reduce community emissions through such efforts as expanding educational campaigns about utility rebates and energy conservation measures, improving access to public transportation, and supporting the development of electric vehicle infrastructure in Renton. The following sections describe the methodology Cascadia used to develop the inventory, presents a detailed overview of municipal and community greenhouse gas emissions by sector, identifies opportunities and targets informed by the inventory, and suggests actions the City can take to facilitate future measurement. DRAFT IntroductionWe divided the inventory into two broad categories of emissions sources: 1) municipal emissions and 2) community emissions. Distinguishing these categories allows the City to understand and target emissions within both the direct and indirect scopes of its control. We took the following steps to conduct the inventory: 1.Define the Scope 2.Collect the Data 3.Calculate Emissions The following sections describe these steps in detail. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 1 7 o f 7 3 1 1. DEFINE THE SCOPE The first step in conducting a city greenhouse gas inventory is to define the scope, or determine which activities to include. The scope of the inventory has a large influence on the calculated GHG emissions, and changing the scope of future inventories makes it difficult to track progress over time. Using a standard methodology for defining inventory boundaries enables comparison of inventory results with other entities conducting similar inventories. Accordingly, Cascadia, in consultation with Renton staff, applied the widely used Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard to define the scope of Renton’s baseline inventory. Defining the scope of the inventory involved setting boundaries in the following areas: Emission sources scope: which emissions sources to include. Time scope: which time frame or year to include. Geographic scope: what geographic boundaries to include. Emission Sources Scope The Greenhouse Gas Protocol delineates scopes that define the boundaries within which greenhouse gas accounting should be conducted, as shown in Figure 1.1 The scopes describe the relative level of control or responsibility the entity (in this case, Renton) maintains for each of its emission sources. DRAFT Scope 1 emissions are those that the city has most direct control over, while Scope 2 and 3 emissions are more indirectly attributed to the city. Specifically, Scope 1 emissions include all direct sources of greenhouse gas emissions that originate from equipment and facilities owned or operated by the city. 1 The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Version), World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Figure 3. “Overview of scopes and emissions across a value chain.” Available online at http://www.ghgprotocol.org/files/ghg-protocol-revised.pdf Figure 1.

Scope 3 emissions include all other indirect sources of greenhouse gas emissions that may result from the activities of the city, but that occur from sources owned or controlled by another company or entity. Scope 3 includes such as emissions from leased spaces, business travel, and employee commuting (when not conducted in the city’s own fleet); embodied emissions in material goods purchased by the city; emissions from solid waste disposal; and emissions from vendor services such as shipping or catering. The World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), authors of the Protocol, suggest conducting accounting for Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned equipment and operations) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy use) at a minimum. This inventory accounts for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 sources. Time Scope In conducting a greenhouse gas inventory, establishment of a base year allows for a meaningful and consistent comparison of emissions over time. In choosing a base year, we considered which year offered a complete and accurate data set and will be representative of the general level of annual emissions. Due to the abundant data availability, we established the inventory base year as the 2009 calendar year. This inventory assesses greenhouse gas emissions for this base year. Geographic Scope We calculated emissions based on the activities of businesses, organizations, and people that resided within the formal city boundaries for Renton during the base year (2009). Future inventories should account for any changes in city boundaries between the base year and future inventory years. DRAFT Municipal Inventory We used the Local Government Operations Protocol (LGOP) to conduct the municipal inventory. 2 Although this protocol generally adheres to the principles and methods outlined in The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, the LGOP is specifically tailored for use by local governments and takes an “operational control approach” that targets emissions that local municipalities can most easily and directly influence. Using this protocol better enables Renton to compare its greenhouse gas inventory with other municipalities that have drawn similar boundaries by following the LGOP, although no two inventories are exactly alike.3 2 Local Government Operations Protocol: For the Quantification and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories, Version 1.1, September 2008, p. 14.

Available online at http://www.icleiusa.org/actioncenter/tools/lgo-protocol-1. 3 In particular, emissions inventories may look very different depending on what community service operations a city provides. These operations include water conveyance, wastewater treatment, public transit operation, solid waste collection, and landfilling. Of these services, Renton is only responsible for water conveyance. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 1 9 o f 7 3 1 Figure 2 shows the emissions sectors, sources, and scopes included in the municipal inventory.

The community emissions are from a variety of sources and are not categorized into Scope 1, 2, and 3. The community emissions are organized into five primary categories: 1) Residential, 2) Commercial, 3) Industrial, 4) Transportation, and 5) Solid Waste, as shown in Figure 3. DRAFT Figure 3.

COLLECT THE DATA Collecting data is often the most time- intensive step of conducting a greenhouse gas inventory. To streamline the process and ensure accurate data collection, Cascadia trained all relevant Renton staff on the greenhouse gas inventory process. The trained staff then collaborated with Cascadia to obtain data from a variety of local and regional sources, as shown in Table 1. Specifically, City staff contributors included Tracy Schuld (Finance Department); David Hohn and Linda Knight (Public Works Department); Greg Stroh, Peter Renner, and Kelly Beymer (Community Services Department). Kris Sorensen in the Community and Economic Development Department also helped coordinate the data collection process. Due to time and data availability limitations, we also made some assumptions and special considerations in conducting this inventory, listed in Table 1. DRAFT Table 1.

CALCULATE EMISSIONS In consultation with Cascadia, the City of Renton chose to use the widely accepted ICLEI Clean Air and Climate Protection (CACP) software for the Renton inventory. In 2001, ICLEI developed the CACP tool in partnership with the National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The original CACP has been updated to more closely follow the methods, standards, and data requirements specified by the LGOP. The CACP software, which is used by over a dozen municipalities in Washington and many more throughout the U.S., offered the most standard and comparable methodology for the City of Renton. As an ICELI member, Renton will have continued technical assistance and access to CACP updates for future inventories. The CACP tool requires specific forms of inventory data. Although these data provisions can help ensure a thorough and accurate inventory, the demands of the CACP tool can also complicate the data collection process. For example, the CACP tool requires community transportation data to be, at a minimum, classified by vehicle type. We obtained data for Renton’s total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) but did not have the vehicle type information for those VMT. Accordingly, we assumed that Renton has a DRAFT similar vehicle composition to Auburn, a nearby city for which vehicle type information was established in 2010. Tables 1 and 2 show other data requirements and assumptions for this inventory. Table 2.

This information allows calculation of emissions per square foot, a comparable metric the City can use to target needed efficiency upgrades in City- owned buildings. Once we entered all data into the CACP tool, municipal and community greenhouse gas emissions were calculated. We reported emissions in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mtCO2e), the standard unit used in LGOP and other greenhouse gas reporting standards.

The findings are intended to assist the City in planning future climate actions and tracking progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. MUNICIPAL EMISSIONS Conducting a municipal emissions inventory can help Renton identify inefficiencies in municipal operations, prioritize opportunities for cost and energy savings, and gauge the City’s progress toward leading its community in sustainability and environmental stewardship. Renton’s municipal inventory is a measure of all greenhouse gas emissions produced by the City of Renton’s municipal facilities and operations in a given year. In 2009, the City’s operations generated an estimated 14,081 mtCO2e, as shown in Figure 6.4 Building operations, which includes both natural gas and electricity use, is the largest emissions sector for municipal operations, accounting for 40% of total calculated emissions. Water delivery services (23%) and vehicle fleet (18%) contribute the next highest emissions.5 Although Renton’s municipal emissions are small compared to its community emissions, understanding its municipal emissions enables the City to take steps to lower greenhouse gas emissions in areas where it has more direct control and to lead by example. DRAFT 4 Although emissions tonnages are presented in tables and graphs as exact figures, all reported emissions in this report are estimates. 5 The use of pie charts to represent emissions is not intended to indicate that 100% of emissions are accounted for. This is an estimate of emissions, and while Scope 1 and 2 emissions are as complete as possible, only a few key Scope 3 emissions sources are included in this inventory. Each pie chart in this document is meant to represent only the emissions measured in this inventory based on the boundaries recommended by the LGOP.

By understanding Renton’s emissions by scope, the City can make more accurate comparisons with nearby jurisdictions as well as identify those emissions the City can most directly influence within its municipal operations. Figure 7 and Table 3 show emissions by scope and sector for Renton’s 2009 municipal emissions. Electricity use for City-owned and operated facilities (Scope 2 emissions) is the largest source of emissions at an estimated 9,318 mtCO2e, or 66% of total emissions. These are emissions that Renton “purchased” from utilities and so can be influenced through efficiency measures and working with energy providers. Scope 1 emissions, which include emissions from Renton’s vehicle fleet, refrigerant losses, and natural gas usage at City-owned and operated buildings, account for roughly 3,724 mtCO2e, or 27% of all emissions. The City can most directly influence these emissions, such as through purchasing more efficient products, reduced use of materials, and other efficient practices. Scope 3 emissions—which include emissions from employee commuting, business travel, leased spaces, and solid waste—account for an estimated 1,039 DRAFT Key FindingsmtCO2e, or 7% of total emissions.

Table 6 shows the electricity use per square foot of the 10 buildings with the highest emissions per unit area. (We were unable to analyze total building energy use, including Scope 1 emissions from fuels combusted on-site for heating and hot water, because many natural gas accounts were combined such that energy use could not be allocated to individual buildings.)

One program, Neighborhood Communities (within the Department of Community and Economic Development), stands out among Renton’s fleet vehicles with a fuel efficiency average of 46 miles per gallon (mpg). This outstanding efficiency can be attributed to its single vehicle: a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid.

Table 7 shows the 10 least efficient passenger vehicles in Renton’s fleet.9 DRAFT Key Findings 7 In 2008, the Washington State Legislature directed the Department of Ecology to establish a mandatory reporting system for emissions of greenhouse gases. Initially, the Department of Ecology proposal stipulated that owners of fleets emitting 2,500 or more metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually from on-road vehicles must report emissions. During the 2009-2010 legislative session (House Bill 2545), the Department of Ecology attempted to amend its rule to align with new federal greenhouse gas reporting requirements, but the amendment did not pass. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=2545&year=2009. 8 Washington RCW 43.41.130 states “(3) State agencies shall phase in fuel economy standards for motor pools and leased petroleum-based fuel vehicles to achieve an average fuel economy standard of thirty-six miles per gallon for passenger vehicle fleets by 2015.” 9 Passenger vehicles include pickup trucks (1-ton or smaller), sport utility vehicles, and sedans.

These comparisons should only be used as a rough indicator of Renton’s progress, however, as no two inventories are exactly comparable. For example, Renton did not include municipal solid waste in its emissions calculations, whereas Auburn included municipal solid waste. Figures 12 and 13 show Renton’s per-capita municipal emissions as compared to nearby municipalities. On a per-capita basis, Renton’s overall municipal emissions (0.22 mtCO2e per person) in 2009 were comparable to those recorded in other nearby municipalities’ inventories, as shown in Figure 12.10 Specifically, Renton’s commuting and streetlight emissions are DRAFT Key Findingscomparable to those of other municipalities, while the emissions from buildings, vehicle fleet, and water delivery are somewhat higher. These results suggest that the most significant opportunities for emissions reductions within Renton’s municipal operations may be found in buildings, vehicle fleet, and water delivery services. 10 Because the compared municipalities did not include business travel, this figure (0.22 mtCO2e per person) does not include business travel. With business travel included, Renton’s 2009 per-capita municipal emissions were 0.23 mtCO2e per person. Figure 12.

In 2009, the Renton community generated an estimated 1,216,258 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (mtCO2e). Figure 4 shows the breakdown of community emissions by sector.11 Transportation contributed the largest share—nearly half—of emissions (49%), followed by commercial (21%) and residential energy use (20%). Solid waste accounted for a small portion (0.3%) of total community emissions. Renton’s substantial community transportation emissions are on par with estimations in other regional and statewide inventories. The State of Washington estimates that transportation makes up 47% of emissions statewide.12 Solid waste, as calculated by the ICLEI CACP software, accounts for less than 1% of the total community inventory. As discussed DRAFT Key Findings 11 Although emissions tonnages are presented in tables and graphs as exact figures, all reported emissions in this report are estimates. 12 Washington State Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development, Washington State Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Reference Case Projections, 1990-2020 (December 2007), http://www.ecy.wa.gov/climatechange/docs/WA_GHGInvent oryReferenceCaseProjections_1990-2020.pdf Figure 4.

The solid waste section of the CACP tool has several inputs. First, a user specifies the total waste production in tons. In this inventory, the community of Renton generated roughly 42,739 tons of solid waste during 2009. Second, the user determines which “waste disposal technology” is used for solid waste management. Options included Uncollected, Open Dump, Open Burning, Managed Landfill, Controlled Incineration, and Compost. Renton’s municipal solid waste goes to King County’s Cedar Hills Landfill, a managed landfill. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 3 4 o f 7 3 1 Then, the user specifies the waste composition mix by percentage of the following: Paper Products, Food Waste, Plant Debris, Wood or Textiles, and All Other Waste. Data for the City of Renton came from the King County Waste Monitoring Program, 2007 Waste Characterization Study, published in 2008. Lastly, the CACP tool requires a methane recovery rate for the managed landfill. King County reports that Cedar Hills attains a 90% methane capture rate.13 A 2009 U.S. EPA report notes that material production and waste management are responsible for 42% of U.S. emissions.14 The CACP tool’s emissions from waste do not account for any upstream processing or embodied emissions of products or for the energy used for waste collection or processing. The emissions shown in this inventory are only from decomposition of waste in a landfill. A more thorough review of the emissions associated with materials consumed in the City of Renton was beyond the scope of this inventory.

Relative to the compared municipalities, Renton’s per-capita community transportation emissions contribute a large share of the city’s overall emissions. Renton’s position as a transportation hub and the inclusion of community air travel emissions contribute to this figure. Transportation in the community inventory typically includes all emissions from vehicle miles traveled on roads within city boundaries. These emissions are not limited to vehicle miles traveled by Renton residents, although residents are certainly responsible for a portion of the total. Renton is a major transportation hub for the region, as many vehicles travel through Renton on Interstate 405 on their way to other areas of the Puget Sound. The contribution of these I- 405 vehicles to Renton’s emissions may account for a portion of Renton’s substantial transportation emissions. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 3 6 o f 7 3 1 DRAFT Key FindingsFurthermore, community transportation emissions for municipalities typically only consider vehicle travel. Renton’s decision to include air travel in addition to vehicle travel contributed an additional 53,688 mtCO2e (9%) to Renton’s estimated transportation emissions, thus further increasing its calculated per-capita carbon footprint. (Other jurisdictions likely still generate emissions from air travel, even though these emissions were omitted from calculation in their greenhouse gas inventories.)

This section describes how results from this inventory may inform these next steps for the City of Renton. TAKING ACTION TO REDUCE EMISSIONS Renton’s municipal and community greenhouse gas inventories offer solid foundations for taking action. In addition to direct actions Renton can take to reduce emissions within its own municipal operations, the City can take transformative actions to encourage the Renton community to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Municipal Inventory As a relatively small contributor to Renton’s total emissions, the City itself cannot greatly reduce Renton’s overall emissions through municipal actions alone. Municipal action has strong symbolic value, however, and demonstrates leadership that extends far DRAFT beyond the magnitude of emissions actually reduced. The highest source of emissions within Renton’s municipal operations is from the energy used to power and heat the City’s buildings, accounting for 40% of municipal emissions. Actions Renton could take to reduce building emissions include conducting energy audits on all City buildings, implementing energy efficiency management and performance monitoring systems, targeting efficiency upgrades on energy-intensive buildings, and installing motion sensor-controlled lighting in all municipal building spaces. Electricity used to pump water and wastewater represents 23% of Renton’s municipal emissions, the second highest emitting sector. The City can work toward reducing these emissions by decreasing the amount of water that needs to be treated (such as through low impact development techniques); by minimizing water demand through conservation measures; and by increasing the efficiency of equipment to treat, store, and transport water. Renton’s third highest emitting sector was its vehicle fleet, contributing 18% of Renton’s total municipal emissions. Renton can reduce fleet emissions by purchasing the most fuel-efficient City vehicles and creating policies for employees to limit idling and use the most fuel-efficient vehicles whenever possible. Community Inventory The main sources of emissions in the community of Renton as a whole are transportation (49%) and energy use from commercial (21%), residential (20%), and industrial (9%) sources. Transportation is the single largest emissions source, but building energy use is the largest contributor (50%) when taken as a whole, instead of divided into residential, commercial, and industrial categories. While the City can encourage Renton residents and businesses to reduce energy consumption and reduce vehicle miles, the City does not have direct control over most of the emissions in the community inventory. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 3 8 o f 7 3 1 Despite these limitations, initiatives to encourage energy conservation include educational campaigns to publicize utility rebates and changing city code to support energy efficiency in new and existing buildings. Commute trip reduction campaigns, improving and increasing bike lanes, increasing the number of park-and-ride spaces, and improving access to public transportation are examples of ways to help reduce vehicle miles traveled. Setting Targets Although outside the scope of this inventory, establishing emission reduction targets and monitoring progress provides a clear way for the city to solidify commitments, promote action, and ensure results. Given Renton’s different levels of control over its community and municipal inventories, Renton should DRAFT Next Stepsconsider setting separate emissions reduction targets for its municipal and community operations. Regional and local examples of other jurisdictions’ emission reduction targets can help inform Renton’s targets and goals. Table 8 shows emissions reduction goals for other jurisdictions. Renton is a signatory to the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, which commits Renton to strive to meet the Kyoto Protocol targets (7% below 1990 levels by 2012) and to urge Washington State government and the federal government to enact emission reduction policies and programs. Given the short time frame for meeting the 2012 target, many other signatories of the Climate Protection Agreement have followed up on their commitment with longer-term goals, often linked to more recent base years (post- 1990). In addition, many of these cities specify separate goals for community and municipal operations, which the Climate Protection Agreement does not distinguish. Thus, in setting emissions reduction targets, Renton can look to many examples that use the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement as a starting point but set longer- term emission reduction targets (beyond 2012). Like other cities, Renton can develop separate targets for municipal and community emissions reductions. Because actual data exist in the baseline inventory, 2009 appears a logical base year from which City can set emissions reduction targets. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 3 9 o f 7 3 1 DRAFT Next StepsTable 8.

Future population growth in the region will likely further increase Renton’s community greenhouse gas emissions. This lack of control combined with these anticipated population trends may mean that feasible community emission reduction goals may need to be less aggressive than those for its municipal operations. Setting a Municipal Emissions Target Many opportunities for emissions reduction in Renton’s municipal operations are likely to yield significant cost savings and other benefits. Accordingly, setting an aggressive reduction target makes sense for Renton’s municipal emissions. The City should consider setting an emissions reduction goal close to Washington State’s goals for its own agencies: 15% below 2005 emission levels by 2020, and 36% below 2005 levels by 2035, using the City’s own baseline year of 2009. DRAFT Next StepsFuture Inventories Having completed a baseline inventory, the City is well positioned to update its greenhouse gas inventories on an annual basis. Table 9 on the following page identifies steps City staff can take to facilitate and improve the data collection process for future inventories. Furthermore, incorporating energy costs into the inventory can facilitate identification of cost savings opportunities within an emissions reduction framework. Incorporation of energy costs was outside the scope of this inventory; however, Renton may benefit from incorporating cost data in future inventories. Conducting a municipal and community-wide greenhouse gas inventory serves as an integral first step for Renton. Achieving substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will involve future inventories, sustained effort over time, and a portfolio of aggressive actions and initiatives by Renton and its citizens. 5 c . ‐ C o m m u n i t y a n d E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t D e p a r t m e n t r e c o m m e n d s a p p r o v a l o f t h e " C r e a t i n g a C l e a n E c o n o m y i n R e n t o n " s t r a t e g y ; a n d P a g e 1 4 1 o f 7 3 1 DRAFT Next StepsTable 9.

The current regulations were instituted over 20 years ago and since that time additional case law has been instituted creating the need for the City to re-evaluate its Adult Retail Entertainment ordinance. Currently RMC 4-3-010.A prohibits Adult Retail and Entertainment within 1,000 feet of any residential zone, residential use, school daycare, church, or park; due to recognized secondary effects. There is an exception for those parcels located within the Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation, which could possibly create a concentration of these establishments within this area. The proposed amendment primarily seeks to provide separation between Adult Retail and Entertainment establishments in order to address compounded adverse secondary effects caused by the concentration of these establishments in a single area. Specifically Adult Retail and Entertainment establishments: l Would be required to maintain at least a 1,000 foot separation; l Would not be able to share the same street frontage of any other Adult Retail and Entertainment establishment; l Limited along major transportation corridors; and l Limited where school age uses are anticipated. A resolution containing findings of fact has been drafted, by the City Attorney, in support of the proposed amendments. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Set a public hearing for April 25, 2011 in order to consider the adoption of an ordinance amending the Adult Retail Entertainment regulations and the adoption of a Findings of Fact resolution in support of the ordinance. 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 144 of 731 DRAFT DRAFT 1 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. ________ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTION 4-3-010, ADULT RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT REGULATIONS, OF CHAPTER 3, ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND OVERLAY DISTRICTS, OF TITLE IV, (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS), OF ORDINANCE NO. 4260 ENTITLED “CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON”, TO AMEND THE REGULATIONS REGARDING ADULT RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I. OBJECTIVES WHEREAS, the City of Renton (hereinafter “the City”) and its representatives are committed to protecting the general welfare, public health, safety, peace, property values, reputation and tranquility of Renton, its residents, and its guests, through the promulgation and enforcement of laws regulating a sexually-oriented business (hereinafter “SOB”), obscenity, public indecency, and criminal and sexual offenses while not impermissibly encroaching on freedom of speech under the federal and state constitutions; and WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes that the regulation of SOBs is necessary because in the absence of regulations, significant criminal activity has historically and regularly occurred locally, statewide, nationally and internationally. A small part of this history is identified in the court decisions, articles, reports and studies noted throughout this resolution and as listed in the appendices. This history of criminal activity in, around and/or near SOBs has included, but is not limited to, rapes, assaults, sexual assaults, prostitution, serving alcohol to minors, physical and sexual contact between patrons and between entertainers and patrons, public indecency, narcotics and liquor law violations, harassment and stalking, breaches of the peace, disorderly conduct, organized crime, and the presence within the SOB industry of individuals with hidden ownership interests and outstanding arrest warrants; and WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes that the activities described above occur, in the absence of regulation or with insufficient regulation, regardless of whether the SOBs sell 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 149 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 2 alcoholic beverages; and WHEREAS, due to the information noted and/or referred to in the materials in the appendices regarding the connection of prostitution with adult entertainment businesses, criminal conduct and sexual conduct involving entertainers and patrons, there is a public health concern over sexually-transmitted diseases, entertainer safety, criminal enterprises and other undesirable negative secondary effects of SOBs. These concerns require regulation of SOBs in order to protect the health, safety and well-being of the City, its neighborhoods, the public and the entertainers; and II. AUTHORITY WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., has recognized that a municipality’s “interest in preserving the quality of urban life is one that must be accorded high respect”; and WHEREAS, the Supreme Court in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., also explained that the First Amendment did not require the City or any other municipality to conduct new studies or produce evidence independent of that already generated in other cities as long as the city reasonably believes that the studies and/or evidence that it relies on is relevant to the problem being addressed; and WHEREAS, consistent with City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., the Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., decision and other court decisions, the City has reviewed and relies on a variety of Washington state and the federal court decisions, various Washington state, national and international SOB studies, and the studies that those studies relied on, concerning SOBs; and WHEREAS, the City has both utilized and submitted a number of studies and reports to the Secondary Effects resource website (secondaryeffectsresearch.com). Some of the materials 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 150 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 3 that the City has reviewed were graciously shared by the City of Bothell and other materials were simply found on the Internet or requested from specific jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, some of the studies and court decisions, including but not limited to United States v. O’Brien, City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., and O’Day v. King County, establish that municipalities may promulgate and enforce special regulatory treatment that relate to “time, place and manner” regulations as long as the municipality can demonstrate that it has a substantial governmental interest in regulating SOBs and the regulations permit reasonable alternative means of communication; and WHEREAS, the City, in an effort to comply with or meet the “content neutral” time, place and manner test of United States v. O’Brien, attempts to 1) regulate in a manner consistent with the power of the government; 2) further an important or significant governmental interest; and 3) ensure that interest is unrelated to suppressing speech; and 4) ensure that any incidental restrictions on speech are no greater than required to further that interest. Therefore, as noted below, there are sufficient important and substantial government interests to provide a constitutional basis for reasonable time, place, and manner regulations under which SOBs can operate; and WHEREAS, the City, attempts to comply with or meet the ordinance validity test of City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., 1) by not banning SOBs altogether, but rather limiting their distance from other SOBs and sensitive places; 2) by not focusing on the alleged message of the SOB performances or conduct, but rather focusing on and addressing the negative secondary effects of SOBs; and 3) by designing the ordinance to serve a plethora of substantial governmental interests, including but not limited to reducing crime, protecting the patrons, the entertainers, families, and minors, and maintaining property values; and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 151 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 4 WHEREAS, the City seeks to overcome the “shoddy data or reasoning” test of City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, by acknowledging preliminarily the bases for the City’s ordinance and by relying on the court decisions, the referenced studies in those court decisions and the court decisions, specific studies, reports and articles noted in the Appendices; and WHEREAS, the New York State Court of Appeals, the highest court in New York State, in For the People’s Theater v. City of New York found that “Alameda Books confirms that the reasonable discretion accorded most local legislative actions extends to adult use zoning. A local government implementing zoning that affects adult businesses must have a legislative record that establishes a substantial governmental interest in the subject matter of the regulation to justify restrictions on protected speech; however, the local government retains discretion to make its findings from studies or other supportive information before it, and to draw reasonable conclusions about which regulatory techniques will be most beneficial in addressing the findings.” WHEREAS, the City in this resolution considers the experiences, studies and conclusions of various Washington state municipalities of the specific adverse impacts of SOBs including nude and seminude dancing, as permitted by the United States and the Washington State Supreme Courts, as well as the experiences, studies and conclusions of various cities and/or towns throughout the United States; and WHEREAS, the decisions in Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton, Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., and Seattle v. Marshall, as well as other court decisions, state that governmental bodies have a right to enact laws to maintain a decent society; and WHEREAS, as stated in Center for Fair Public Policy v. Maricopa County, and other court decisions, it is axiomatic that a community’s interest in curbing negative secondary effects 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 152 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 5 associated with SOBs is substantial; and that anecdotal evidence and reported experience can be as telling as statistical data and can serve as a legitimate basis for finding negative secondary effects; and WHEREAS, the Washington State Supreme Court stated in Seattle v. Buchanan that courts lack the constitutional authority to decide the wisdom and necessity of an ordinance; the Court cited the United States Supreme Court in Goesaert v. Cleary, to note that “[t]he Constitution does not require legislatures to reflect sociological insight, or shifting social standards, any more than it requires them to keep abreast of the latest scientific standards”; and other cases support Seattle v. Buchanan including but not limited to City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books, G.M. Enterprises, Inc. v. Town of St. Joseph, WI, and Imaginary Images, Inc. v. Evans; and WHEREAS, this resolution in intended to be reliable evidence for the City Council identifying the adverse or negative secondary impacts of SOBs providing adult entertainment undertaken by the City prior to its adoption of an ordinance regulating the location of SOBs; such evidence resulted in findings of fact adopted by the City Council and approved by the United States Supreme Court in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres; and WHEREAS, the City seeks to regulate only the negative secondary effects of SOBs, and does not intend to regulate the content of the entertainment, unless that content is obscene consistent with court decisions including but not limited to 44 Liquormart v. Rhode Island; and WHEREAS, for purposes of any future ordinances regulating SOBs, they are hereby defined as: 1.Adult media, arcades, theaters and video stores; 2.So-called gentleman’s club/strip clubs, adult cabarets; 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 153 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 6 3.Video peep booth business, or adult entertainment establishments; and/or 4.Any other business or sexual encounter establishment that features persons appearing in a state of nudity or live performances or photographic reproductions depicting or describing “specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas;” and III. CRIMINAL CONDUCT AND/OR CONTACT WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes, based on its experiences with criminal sexual activity in or around SOBs, including some alleged “spas” and “massage parlors”, the court decisions, studies, and articles listed in the appendices, and by browsing internet blogs, that improper and illegal contact occurs in SOBs purporting to be engaged in a lawful business enterprise; and WHEREAS, the City, like King County in O’Day v. King County, Indiana in Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Pennsylvania in City of Erie v. Pap’s A.M., SOB, Inc. v. County of Benton, World Wide Video of Washington, Inc. v. City of Spokane, and legions of cities and counties throughout the United States, has a legitimate interest in preventing contact between nude entertainers and patrons thereby preventing otherwise-possible illegal public sexual contact and from the other types of criminal activity historically linked to the SOBs, thereby regulating conduct not expression; and WHEREAS, in Barnes v. Glen Theatre, a plurality found that an Indiana statute that prevented nudity was justified under Indiana law and the United States Constitution by the state’s traditional interest in regulating conduct to promote order and morality; and WHEREAS, in City of Erie v. Pap’s A.M., the Court found that the ordinance regulated negative secondary effects, that any impact on erotic “speech” was de minimis, and the court 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 154 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 7 refused to second-guess the motive for the legislation; and WHEREAS, in SOB, Inc. v. County of Benton, the Eighth Circuit surmised that live nude dancing restrictions may address negative secondary effects, such as drug use, prostitution, tax evasion, and fraud. A. Criminal conduct to be eliminated or mitigated. WHEREAS, by browsing recent Internet blogs the City has learned that public and openly discussed sexual and criminal occurrences in the Seattle metropolitan area SOBs occur: One SOB patron stated “[a] month ago, this place had possibility: the owner has apparently proven he doesn't grasp the basics of a strip club ecology. So unless I start hearing that all my old Rick’s (referring to a now-closed strip club) favorites still under the age of 35 are sucking and fucking in the VIP with wild abandon at cut-rate prices, I'll not be going back”; Another SOB patron stated “[a]nd apparently when I told my story of how I first got started at Rick's with Candy Cotton bursting my strip club VIP cherry way back when, she shocked me by saying CC was still working in the area”; Another SOB patron boasted that “within 2 minutes of walking in I was having sex with a stunner named Candy in the VIP lounge. $115 was the damage. It doesn't get that easy even in Thailand”; Finally, another SOB patron explained that his tour of a SOB revealed that there was “$20 ‘VIP’ couches with they’re [sic] own little stages so the girls can either get naked for you personally or come grind on you on the couch” and “it was hinted that things would get more raunchy with better tips”; and WHEREAS, in O’Day v. King County, entertainers were charged with crimes for exposing 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 155 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 8 their breasts below the areola, exposing public hair, rubbing breasts or buttocks or touching the genital area of customers and simulating acts of sex; the state supreme court noted that while nude dancer communication and expression are constitutionally protected, public nudity is not; obscenity is measured against community standards; the stage distance requirement served the lawful purpose of preventing potentially sexual contact between entertainers and patrons; and that “license requirements and sanctions have not been shown to infringe on any fundamental interest for the purpose of equal protection analysis”; and WHEREAS, in World Wide Video of Washington, Inc. v. City of Spokane, Spokane had relied on citizen testimony linking off-site businesses with pornographic litter and public lewdness, and this evidence, standing alone, was sufficient to meet the “very little” evidence standard of Alameda Books; and WHEREAS, A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Use Businesses in the City of Denver noted that in addition to traffic, noise, and littering, residents complained that they saw people urinating, masturbating, and soliciting for prostitution in areas adjacent to SOBs; the most frequent crimes reported included disturbing the peace, public indecency, prostitution, drug-related violations, loitering, robbery, larceny, theft from motor vehicles, and public drinking or urinating; and WHEREAS, a vivid and graphic example of the type of activity sought to be prohibited was noted in California v. LaRue. In LaRue, the record contained evidence that “in licensed establishments where ‘topless’ and ‘bottomless’ dancers, nude entertainers, and films displaying sexual acts were shown, numerous incidents of legitimate concern to the Department had occurred. Customers were found engaging in oral copulation with women entertainers; customers engaged in public masturbation; and customers placed rolled currency 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 156 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 9 either directly into the vagina of a female entertainer, or on the bar in order that she might pick it up herself. Numerous other forms of contact between the mouths of male customers and the vaginal areas of female performers were reported to have occurred. Prostitution occurred in and around such licensed premises, and involved some of the female dancers. Indecent exposure to young girls, attempted rape, rape itself, and assaults on police officers took place on or immediately adjacent to such premises”; and WHEREAS, as illustrated in the 2002 Survey, Findings and Recommendations of Sexually Oriented Businesses, Toledo, Ohio, some dancers were wrapping their breasts around the faces of tipping patrons and picking up tips from tippers’ laps with their lips, and to prevent or eliminate the need for patrons to make physical contact with the entertainers as illustrated in various studies including the 2003 Kentucky Site Visit Analysis: Sexually Oriented Entertainment & Related Businesses study, any tips that the patron would like to leave for an entertainer must be placed in a container and not on or in the entertainer or his/her clothing, strings, orifice, hand or anything connected to the entertainer; and WHEREAS, in Daytona Grand, Inc. v. City of Daytona Beach, Florida the record contains statements that during an inspection, entertainers performed lap dances that simulated intercourse placing their buttocks in the lap of the patrons and began to manipulate their hips back and forth and up and down, while rubbing their bare breasts in the faces of the patrons and allowing the patrons to lick and suck their breasts; it was also established through studies by University of Washington Department of Psychology Professor Dr. William H. George that alcohol consumption and exposure to erotica resulted in, among other things, greater sexual arousal in the male patrons; and WHEREAS, as illustrated in Profitable Exploits: Lap Dancing in the U.K., these 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 157 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 10 allegations of sexual services being offered at some SOBs, extends well beyond our nation’s borders. Additionally, none of the SOBs visited during the study adhered to the terms and conditions of their business license. There was evidence that not only were patrons and entertainers making physical contact, there was evidence that sexual services were being offered and/or requested in the SOBs; and WHEREAS, it was noted in Profitable Exploits: Lap Dancing in the U.K., that dancers had allowed customers to touch them, sometimes intimately, in contravention of the club’s entertainment license; undercover officers had been offered sex in a private room by two dancers for £500; and that plainclothes police officers observed women dancing in a sexually suggestive manner, and offering the officers sex at a venue outside the club on the condition that they purchased two bottles of champagne at £80 per bottle; and WHEREAS, a Seattle P-I article entitled “Prostitution Charges Filed”, October 15, 2008, reported that three women and a man where charged with running massage businesses as brothels in Renton and Kirkland; that the eight-month investigation was initiated after an ad on Craigslist and online reviews critiqued the prostitutes; additionally, the business manager was a 35-year old registered sex offender who had previously been convicted of raping a child; and WHEREAS, another Seattle P-I article entitled “Salons Were Brothels, Feds say: Two-year investigation brings five arrests at homes, businesses, boat”, November 18, 2008, reported that two men were charged with conspiring to transport women for prostitution and to launder proceeds from brothels including one in Renton; women offered undercover officers sex for cash; the managers advertised with catch lines such as “sexy Asians”, “hot Asian girls”, and “adult entertainment”; and at the time of the arrests one neighbor, like many noted in this resolution stated that prostitution is rampant in the neighborhood, she has been propositioned 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 158 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 11 while walking her dog, and that she was tired of seeing condoms while she walked in her neighborhood; and B.

WHEREAS, the study An Analysis of the Effects of SOBs on The Surrounding Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas explained that not only do SOBs have an actual negative secondary impact on the surrounding properties, but also that the higher the concentration of SOBs in one locale, the greater their impact on the neighborhood. The study identified that the two primary ways in which SOBs affect the neighborhood are 1) by their presence in the neighborhood, including signage and advertising, and 2) by the hours of operation and the type of people who they attract. Specifically, the “presence” of SOBs cause “dead zones” in commercial areas where shoppers do not want to be associated and where they do not want their children to walk, and the “hours and clientele” of SOBs result in more crime, loitering, unsavory people including prostitutes, and noise based on traffic and disturbances; and WHEREAS, the City also relies on a number of the listed studies including, but not limited to, the 1991 Final Report to the City of Garden Grove: The Relationship Between Crime and Adult Business Operations on Garden Grove Boulevard, and Seattle’s 1989 Director’s Report, Proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment, Adult Cabarets, to reasonably believe that crime rises whenever an adult business opens or expands its operation and the change is statistically significant. Those increases are found in the serious crimes such as assault, robbery, burglary and theft and in so-called “victimless” drug, alcohol and sex-related offenses. Additionally, to quote the final report, “when an adult business opens within 1,000 feet of a tavern (or vice versa) the impact of the adult business on crime is aggravated substantially and significantly.” As a result, some of the conclusions of the report are that no SOB should operate 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 159 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 12 within 1,000 feet of a residence, and no tavern should be allowed to operate within 1,000 feet of a SOB and vice versa, which is consistent with cases including Daytona Grand, Inc. v. City of Daytona Beach, Florida, and G.M. Enterprises, Inc. v. Town of St. Joseph, WI; and WHEREAS, the 1989 Minnesota Report of the Attorney General’s Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses, noted that there was a close association between SOBs and high crime rates; neighbors noted that SOBs resulted in used condoms on their lawns and sidewalks, sex acts with prostitutes occurred in plain view of children and families, school-age girls and boys and young women were propositioned for sex, and one person even reported that he recovered 50 pieces of pornographic material from a church lot near an SOB. This report also explained how “organized crime” controlled and/or derived substantial profits from almost all of the pornography in the United States, from the top of the business down to the “independent smut peddler”. In fact, referring to a 1980 Pennsylvania report, the Minnesota report noted that most pornography stores were “affiliated or owned by one of three men who had ties with ‘nationally known pornography figures who are members or associates of organized crime families’”; and WHEREAS, the 1986 Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin, noted, among other things, that sex-related crime rates were found to be 66% higher in areas with two SOBs rather than only one SOB. As a result, the City finds it necessary to keep the SOBs as far from other SOBs as is constitutionally permissible; and WHEREAS, the Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin relied on several studies from other states such as: 1.The 1977 Study of Effects of the Concentration of Adult Entertainment Establishments in the City of Los Angeles, revealed among other things that prostitution in the 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 160 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 13 study area, Hollywood, was 15 times greater than the city average; 2.The 1978 Staff Report, Amendment to Zoning Regulations, Adult Businesses in C-2 Zone with Conditional Use Permit, also for Los Angeles, found higher sex-related crimes, thefts, assaults, public intoxication and disturbing the peace near SOBs than non-SOB areas; 3.The Phoenix, Arizona, 1979 Adult Business Study, discovered among other things that SOB study areas had 43% more crime and over 500% more sex-related crimes; 4.The Minneapolis, Minnesota’s 1978 Effects on Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment Businesses, uncovered that there was a statistically significant correlation between diminished housing values, crime rates and neighborhood deterioration and the location of SOBs; 5.It also referred to the Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis: An Analysis, Department of Metropolitan Development, Division of Planning, Indianapolis, IN, p.85 (1984); and WHEREAS, the 2009 An Assessment of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Texas, illustrated that sex-related complaints such as public lewdness, sexual contact, obscenity, prostitution and solicitation occurred 14 times more in and around SOBs than in or around a bar; drug-related complaints such as permitting sale, sale or possession of drugs were three times more frequent in SOBs than in or around a bar; and administrative violations of sex offenses and drug offenses were eight and 19 times more frequent, respectively, in SOBs than bars; and criminal drug- and sex-related offenses occurred far more frequently in SOBs than in bars and could include both employees and customers, while criminal violations involving minors were more likely to occur in bars. To highlight the point, there were 54 criminal lewd conduct offenses in SOBs and none in a bar according to this study; and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 161 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 14 WHEREAS, Talking Points: HB 2144 – Kansas Community Defense Act provides testimony from Carolyn McKenzie, a counselor to SOB entertainers, that 18% of the women were underage when they started stripping at clubs, 90% of them were single mothers supporting children, 75% of them had at least one sexually transmitted disease, 41% of them had a criminal history and 95% of them were using alcohol or [illegal] drugs; and WHEREAS, Talking Points: HB 2144 – Kansas Community Defense Act also presents testimony from David Sherman, a former SOB manager for Déjà vu strip bars, some of which are in Washington State, that 80% of the people involved in SOBs were involved in tax evasion and/or fraud; 90% of the SOB entertainers were using or dealing drugs; 35% of the girls were involved in prostitution; underage entertainers were frequently employed at SOBs; entertainers conspired with patrons to commit crimes such as dealing drugs, prostitution, credit card fraud and even computer theft; SOBs were used to launder counterfeit money for such things as drug dealing; and approximately 80% of all SOB owners are convicted felons; and C. Local jurisdictions similar to Renton suffer significant negative secondary effects. WHEREAS, according to the US Census, the City of Federal Way and the City, between 2006 and 2008, had roughly the same value for housing; percentage-wise, nearly identical demographics in terms of minority and non-minority population; and nearly identical demographics based on gender. According to the Washington State Office of Financial Management, in 2010, the City of Federal Way has a similar population in size to Renton at slightly less than 90,000 residents. As a result, the City views the City of Federal Way as a city with potentially similar concerns and therefore also relies on some of the data considered by the City of Federal Way; and WHEREAS, the City notes that the City of Federal Way in its 1995 Adult Entertainment 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 162 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 15 Legislative Record memorandum remarked “that there has never been an instance when an undercover officer has entered an adult entertainment establishment in the City [of Federal Way] when a criminal act was not occurring.” Additionally, Federal Way conceded that it “has insufficient police resources to continue ongoing undercover investigations at these establishments.” The City of Federal Way also observed at a SOB in that city there were approximately 24 criminal complaints in five months; and WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way in its study considered that: 1.In 1987 the City of Bellevue, which is immediately north of Renton, had “a high incident of criminal activity related to primarily prostitution and violations of [its] adult entertainment ordinance”; 2.In the summer of 1994 the City of Tukwila, which is immediately east of Renton, conducted SOB investigations that resulted in over 500 criminal convictions related primarily to sex crimes including 70 specifically for prostitution; 3.In the summer of 1981 the City of Kent, which is immediately south of Renton, used 57 hours of on-premises SOB investigations to initiate 162 criminal charges against 21 persons which amounted to there being a criminal charge every 20 minutes. The offenses were primarily prostitution and drug related offenses; 4.The City of Bothell found that a SOB can be a regional attraction based on its findings that of the 321 vehicles parked at the SOB, only eight were registered in the City of Bothell. In fact, some of the vehicle registrations were from other states; and 5.The cities of Detroit, MI, and Cleveland, OH, noted that the proliferation of SOBs added to the appearance of blight and appeared to reflect that crimes such as robbery and rape doubled; and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 163 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 16 WHEREAS, the City of Federal Way concluded its consideration of negative secondary uses or impacts by noting other studies conducted revealed that SOBs resulted in “a reduction in property values of surrounding properties. These studies also conclude that adult uses are incompatible with residential, educational and religious uses. Finally, the City of Federal Way has experienced the negative secondary effect of the drain on municipal resources by having to allocate disproportionate police resources to” SOBs. D. Conclusions about the negative secondary effect of criminal contact or conduct. WHEREAS, the City has a significant interest in curtailing public sexual offenses consistent with the findings in the Fantasyland v. County of San Diego decision; and WHEREAS, SOBs that allow entertainers to mingle with customers foster an environment that pressures entertainers into acts of prostitution and other sexual contact with customers as illustrated by the 2003 Kentucky study Site Visit Analysis: Sexually Oriented Entertainment & Related Businesses. Regulations that require entertainers to maintain a certain distance from customers are difficult to enforce and are frequently violated. Restricting entertainers to a performance area affords the entertainers their constitutional right to express themselves, while discouraging prostitution and other sexual contact with customers; and WHEREAS, the City, in an effort to only restrict conduct and unprotected obscene expression, will prohibit physical contact, require a minimum distance between entertainers and patrons, and prohibit the exposure of certain body parts to public view except as provided for by a stage requirement and by an exception for non-obscene dances and exhibitions; and WHEREAS, as in Buzzetti v. City of New York, any performance, dance or show that emphasizes or regularly features the following will be prohibited in any Renton SOB-related ordinance: 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 164 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 17 “Specified sexual activities” are: (i) human genitals in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal; (ii) actual or simulated acts of human masturbation, sexual intercourse or sodomy; or (iii) fondling or other erotic touching of human genitals, pubic region, buttock, anus or female breast. “Specified anatomical areas” are: (i) less than completely and opaquely concealed: (a) human genitals, pubic region, (b) human buttock, anus, or (c) female breast below a point immediately above the top of the areola; or (ii) human male genitals in a discernibly turgid state, even if completely and opaquely concealed; and WHEREAS, it was noted in Survey of Texas Appraisers: Secondary Effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses on Market Values, “some massage parlors serve as fronts for sexual activity of various types. There is no Constitutional right to a massage.” “There is thus no Constitutional protection afforded such businesses beyond general Constitutional rights such as the right to due process. There are, however, legitimate massage therapists who have professional training, abide by professional codes of ethics and offer non-sexual services that are beneficial to many people”; and WHEREAS, as a result of the City’s reoccurring and long-standing problem with prostitution occurring in alleged massage, massage alternative and related spas or parlors, undercover operations that involved “massages therapists” disrobing, climbing on top of undercover officers, touching the officers’ genitalia, and/or offering a variety of sexual encounters; and that these operations have resulted in a number of successful criminal prosecutions; and the fact that some of these “spas” or “parlors” advertise based on the appearance of the “girls”, that some of the massage therapists have long 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 165 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 18 fingernails that seem to suggest that they would have a difficult time massaging anyone; and consistent with the findings in Minnesota’s Report of the Attorney General’s Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses, and Survey of Texas Appraisers: Secondary Effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses on Market Values , in addition to each masseuse, massage therapist, or alternative treatment therapist having to be licensed with the City and the State of Washington, these people shall be prohibited from administering massages or “treatments” to persons of the opposite sex; and WHEREAS, Renton will ban massage establishments except those operated by licensed massage therapists or as parts of clinics operated and supervised by licensed medical professionals; and WHEREAS, even if these conclusions from those intimately involved in or close to SOBs are exaggerated, talking half of the numbers or percentages would still leave significant problems that cannot be ignored. Each of the foregoing negative secondary effects constitutes a harm which the City has a substantial governmental interest in preventing and/or abating. This substantial governmental interest in preventing the negative secondary effects, which is the City’s rationale, exists independent of any comparative analysis between SOBs and non-SOBs. That said, the 2009 study An Assessment of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Texas did compare and demonstrate an increase in sex-related offenses at SOBs as compared to non-SOBs. Additionally, the City’s interest in regulating SOBs extends to preventing future negative secondary effects of either current or future SOBs that may seek to operate in the City of Renton; and WHEREAS, in an effort to follow and comply with O’Day v. King County, the City will 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 166 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 19 enforce a distance requirement thereby regulating conduct and not speech; and WHEREAS, as recommended in the 1989 Minnesota Report of the Attorney General’s Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses, in addition to traditional prosecution, RICO prosecution at the state (RCW 9A.82, Criminal Profiteering Act) or federal level, forfeiture of property, revocation of a business license and related penalties may be warranted; and IV. PROPERTY VALUES AND SOB IMPACT ON NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes that SOBs have a significant and well-documented history of actual negative secondary effects on neighborhoods and surrounding properties; and WHEREAS, numerous studies, including but not limited to An Analysis of the Effects of SOBs on The Surrounding Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas, note that SOBs have an actual negative secondary impact on the surrounding properties in part by their presence in the neighborhood, including signage and advertising and specifically, because SOBs cause “dead zones” in commercial areas where shoppers do not want to be associated and where they do not want their children to walk, and the “hours and clientele” of SOBs result in more crime, loitering, unsavory people including prostitutes, and noise based on traffic and disturbances; and WHEREAS, the 2008 Pennsylvania State Resolution No. 245, noted that the landmark New York City Adult Entertainment Study concluded that the presence of SOBs tend to produce negative secondary effects such as increased crime, decreased property values and reduced shopping and commercial activities. Specifically, the Pennsylvania resolution referred to the 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 167 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 20 following studies: 1.The 1984 Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis: An Analysis, which found that the average annual rate for major crimes in areas with adult uses was 23% higher than the corresponding rate for control areas, and the rate for sex-related crimes was 77% higher in the study area than the control area; 2.The 1986 Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin (which was not referred to by name in the Pennsylvania resolution), which found that areas with SOBs had sex-related crimes two to five times the citywide average and 66% higher in study areas than control areas; 3.The resolution refers to the studies of Cleveland, Los Angeles and elsewhere that note that crime rates rise between 15% to 77% in areas with SOBs from areas without SOBs; and 4.A report by the American Planning Association which found that real estate professionals believe that SOBs have a significant negative impact on both residential and commercial properties; and WHEREAS, real estate appraisers have testified that the presence of SOBs in an area depresses property and rental values. The Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis: An Analysis reveals that at the time when the Indianapolis residential housing market saw a decrease of 50% in listings, listings within the study areas increased thereby resulting in twice as many houses being placed on the market at substantially lower prices than would have been expected. Indiana’s national survey of certified real estate appraisers revealed that of those asked, 75% of the real estate appraisers felt that even an adult bookstore (generally perceived as less offensive than a strip club), located within one block would have a negative effect on the property values; specifically, 80% of appraisers believed that there would be a negative impact 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 168 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 21 on residential property values within one block of an SOB, and 72% of appraisers felt that commercial property values would be negatively impacted by having a SOB within one block; and WHEREAS, of those same real estate appraisers, 64% for residential properties and 77% for commercial properties, believed that those respective neighborhoods would be negatively impacted by the presence of an adult bookstore located three blocks from the neighborhood; and while recognizing that the statistics do not absolutely prove the negative secondary impacts listed, they concluded that it was reasonable and prudent for a municipality to exercise its zoning power to regulate SOBs and to mitigate those secondary impacts. These findings are consistent with the general findings related to property value in 1991 Final Report to the City of Garden Grove: The Relationship Between Crime and Adult Business Operations on Garden Grove Boulevard; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin’s 1986 Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin revealed that real estate and lending firms generally noted that SOBs make homes less attractive to families, thus lowering demand and property values, and others stated that SOBs lead mortgage underwriters to believe that the neighborhood is in decline, this making 90-95% of financing more difficult. Austin’s report also noted that Amarillo, Texas found in addition to higher crime rates near SOBs, the late operating hours of most SOBs created special problems to surrounding neighborhoods in the form of noise, glare and traffic. Beaumont, Texas’s study revealed that the concentration of SOBs drove away neighborhood commercial stores and contributed to an increase in crimes such as prostitution, drug offenses and muggings; and WHEREAS, these findings are corroborated by the 2008 Survey of Texas Appraisers: Secondary Effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses on Market Values, which remarks that the 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 169 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 22 businesses or uses with the greatest negative impact on market value of a single-family home if located within 500 feet are Adult Media & Video Store, retail sales only (97%), the so-called Gentleman’s Club/Strip Club (96%), Video Peep Booth Business (96%), followed by a landfill (96%) and a homeless shelter (95%). The study also notes that these same businesses or uses only begin to have no measureable impact at a distance of more than a half-mile (2,640 feet) from a single-family home; and WHEREAS, A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Use Businesses in the City of Denver, revealed that the most frequently mentioned negative secondary impacts were neighborhood appearance, litter, traffic and decreased property values; and WHEREAS, the 1989 Minnesota Report of the Attorney General’s Working Group on the Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses, suggests that communities should adopt zoning ordinances which set distances between SOBs, SOBs and liquor establishments, restrict use to one building, and set distance requirements between SOBs and sensitive areas or uses, including but not limited to residential areas, schools, child care facilities, churches and parks. Minnesota’s studies noted that there was a close association between SOBs, and low housing values in a neighborhood; and WHEREAS, the City of Des Moines, WA, conducted Des Moines Adult Use Study in 1984 and found, in addition to the typical perceived or anticipated concerns about SOBs, that public perception of SOBs in Des Moines resulted in numerous business failures in commercial areas near the Des Moines SOB. This was evidenced by the fact that business turnover around the SOB was approximately four times the average in other comparable areas in downtown Des Moines; and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 170 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 23 WHEREAS, the Des Moines’ study also revealed that SOBs do in fact, and did in fact, deter people from shopping in the vicinity of the SOB causing serious negative economic impact, people perceived that the downtown business area was severely deteriorated to some degree because of the SOB, and the SOB thwarted or was anticipated to thwart revitalization efforts in Des Moines; and WHEREAS, as noted in Seattle’s 1989 Director’s Report, Proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment, Adult Cabarets, and 2006 Adult Cabarets in Seattle, in addition to fear about a variety of crime, citizens also had concerns about declining property values and increasing insurance rates; and WHEREAS, according to Adult Business Study, Town and Village of Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County, New York, even locations, such as Ellicottville, NY, which at the time of their study had no SOBs found that residential properties, historic business districts, churches, child care facilities, parks, playgrounds and civic facilities were “most sensitive to the adverse effects of adult uses”; and WHEREAS, the Supreme Court in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc., concluded that “reasonable alternative avenues” for erotic conduct existed when the City left approximately 520 acres, or more than five percent of the entire city, available to potential adult theater sites, despite that fact that most of the acreage might not be “commercially viable”. Additionally, the Court stated that SOB owners like other commercial business owners “must fend for themselves in the real estate market, on an equal footing with other prospective purchasers and lessees, does not give rise to a First Amendment violation”; and WHEREAS, in furtherance of and in a justified use of the City’s police powers, for the purpose of protecting the general welfare, public health, safety, peace, property values, 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 171 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 24 reputation and tranquility of Renton, its residents, and its guests, any ordinance regulating SOBs shall prohibit SOBs from being within 1,000 feet of the listed sensitive areas: 1.A residential zone; 2.A family dwelling; 3.A church, synagogue, temple or other recognized house of worship; 4.A park or playground; 5.A school; 6.A day care center or community center; 7.A youth-oriented business 8.A public library; 9.Another SOB; 10.An alcohol serving tavern, bar, dance hall, restaurant or similar business, or 11.A motel or hotel that offer rooms for an less than a full evening or night; and V. NO ALCOHOL MAY BE SERVED AT SOBs WHEREAS, consistent with the finding of the New York State Court of Appeals in New York State Liquor Authority v. Bellanca, the City reasonably believes that money, nudity and liquor or alcohol all too often result in undesirable conduct in public and/or unlawful transactions in private; and WHEREAS, it has been established in court decisions, including but not limited to Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc.; City of Erie v. Pap’s A.M.; California v. LaRue; Daytona Grand, Inc. v. City of Daytona Beach, Florida; New York State Liquor Authority v. Bellanca; For the People’s Theater v.

Finally the analysis on the frequency of rape (23%), threats of rape (48%), in a SOB and general allegations of sexual contact, underage girls working, young women being trafficked into a SOB was startling; and WHEREAS, for the purpose of mitigating the negative secondary effects noted in various studies including but not limited to the 1991 Final Report to the City of Garden Grove: The Relationship Between Crime and Adult Business Operations on Garden Grove Boulevard, and the 1998 A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Use Businesses in the City of Denver, and cases including but not limited to Daytona Grand, Inc. v.

Failure to permit the inspection shall be a basis to close the SOB and review its business license and all licenses or permits related to the business. Such inspections, in the absence of any recent violation, should be conducted no more than five times a month. That representative or designee shall have authority to view any area open to the public or available to patrons consistent with Annex Books, Inc. v. City of Indianapolis. Considering the potential, and frequently present, violations of law and risks to the public health and sanitation, the representative or designee shall have the power to determine if such areas open to the public or available to patrons of the SOB are in a sanitary condition, and no warrant is necessary as: 1. There is a substantial governmental interest that informs the regulatory scheme pursuant to which the inspection is made; 2. The warrantless inspection is necessary to further the regulatory scheme; and 3. The ordinance’s inspection program, in terms of the certainty and regularity of its application, provides a constitutionally adequate substitute for a warrant; and WHEREAS, under various sources including but not limited to the 2002 Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View report, there is a likelihood that persons who violate adult entertainment regulations are repeat offenders, and to deter unlawful behavior the SOB regulations shall include provisions to deny or revoke a license to perform, manage or be employed at an SOB if that person is shown to have violated SOB laws in the past; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to have a licensed manager on the premises of any and all 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 177 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 30 SOBs at all times of operation so that the manager(s) will be responsible for the conduct of or in the establishment, including the actions of entertainers, other employees, and patrons. This person will be required to have cleared a criminal and tax background check and affirm that he is not working with and/or for, officially or unofficially, any person who has been convicted or pled nolo contendere for prostitution, sexual offenses, obscenity, organized crime, conspiracy, tax or financial crimes within the prior 10 years to ensure that persons with that history do not engage and do not have an opportunity to engage in that conduct at the SOB or in the City of Renton based on various studies, including but not limited to the 2003 Kentucky Site Visit Analysis: Sexually Oriented Entertainment & Related Businesses, Talking Points: HB 2144 – Kansas Community Defense Act, Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View reports from 2002 and 2004, Strip Club Testimony, from 1997, and anecdotal incidents of money laundering, tax evasion, prostitution, thefts and conspiracy to do the same; and WHEREAS, consistent with the United States Supreme Court decision in Arcara v. Cloud Books, Inc., and because this is not a prior restraint on the dissemination of materials and because the closure has nothing to do with expressive conduct, the City may close any SOB for one year if a licensee, owner or manager permits masturbation, fellatio, solicitation for prostitution, sexual offenses, obscenity, organized crime, conspiracy, tax or financial crimes to occur on the premises or on SOB property; and WHEREAS, a license to operate a SOB shall be revoked after a hearing before the appropriate City designee if: 1) the license had been suspended within the past year; 2) the licensee gave false information to the licensing officer or City; 3) the licensee or an employee had knowingly permitted the use or sale of a controlled substance; or 4) had knowingly allowed prostitution; or 5) had knowingly operated during a period when the license was suspended; 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 178 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 31 and 6) excepting private rooms in motels, had knowingly allowed a variety of sexual conduct to occur; and WHEREAS, businesses alleging that they are private social clubs will be analyzed under the standard set forth in Hendricks v. Commonwealth. In Hendricks, the Kentucky Supreme Court, in order to determine the legitimacy of the “members-only” organization considered a variety of factors from various other state court decisions and the United States v. Lansdowne Swim Club decision. The factors that the City will consider are: 1. The substantiality of membership dues; 2. The lack of a numerical limit on club membership; 3. The membership’s control over the selection of new members; 4. The formality or lack of formality of the admission procedures; 5. The standard for admission; 6. The membership’s control or lack of control over the operation of the club; 7. The purpose of the club’s existence; 8. The use of the facility by non-members; and 9. The history of the organization; and VII. ENTERTAINERS MUST BE EMPLOYEES WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes, as it was noted in Profitable Exploits: Lap Dancing in the U.K., entertainers were not employees and as a result they had no employment rights. They paid to work at the SOB, thereby resulting in a feeling of pressure to secure private dances to generate revenue, especially if they were in debt to the SOB; they had no dedicated dressing rooms; they endured threats of physical violence and demands for sex; and private “dances” were the only legitimate way for entertainers to make money; and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 179 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 32 WHEREAS, to address the problem of no Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), health care, sick days or state or federal benefits or protections for entertainers, the City requires that SOBs hire entertainers as employees rather than independent contractors. Based on the 2002 An Inside Look: The Life of the Exotic Dancer Profitable Exploits: Lap Dancing in the U.K., 2002 An Inside Look: The Life of the Exotic Dancer, the 2002 and 2004 Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View reports, the 1997 Strip Club Testimony, and other reports and/or court decisions, the City reasonably believes that this is appropriate and necessary since many SOBs control when entertainers will work, the amount of hours they work, the amount of nudity, the number of songs or dances, the order in which the entertainers perform, and the length and/or nature of employment, including whether an entertainers may perform at a different SOB; and WHEREAS, based on various studies including but not limited to the 2002 An Inside Look: The Life of the Exotic Dancer, 2002 Survey, Findings and Recommendations of Sexually Oriented Businesses, Toledo, Ohio, the 2010 Talking Points: HB 2144 – Kansas Community Defense Act, the 2002 and 2004 Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View reports, the 1997 Strip Club Testimony, and anecdotal incidents of money laundering, tax evasion and related offenses by requiring entertainers to be employees, SOBs can keep more detailed records for licensing, tax and related reasons. The City, the State of Washington, and the federal government can reasonably expect to receive a more accurate accounting of the income generated and more revenues; and VIII. SAFETY AND HOURS OF BUSINESS WHEREAS, the City reasonably believes that late hours, insufficient lighting, and inadequate measures to ensure the safety of entertainers leaving their employment creates an unreasonable risk for assault, rape, or inappropriate conduct on and/or near public streets and 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 180 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 33 sidewalks; and WHEREAS, as noted above, the study An Analysis of the Effects of SOBs on The Surrounding Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas noted that not only do SOBs have an actual negative secondary impact on the surrounding properties, but also that the higher the concentration of SOBs in one locale, the greater their impact on the neighborhood. The study identified that the two primary ways in which SOBs affect the neighborhood is 1) by their presence in the neighborhood, including signage and advertising and 2) by the hours of operation and the type of people who they attract. Specifically, the “presence” of SOBs cause “dead zones” in commercial areas where shoppers do not want to be associated and where they do not want their children to walk, and the “hours and clientele” of SOBs result in more crime, loitering, unsavory people including prostitutes, and noise based on traffic and disturbances; and WHEREAS, the 2009 An Assessment of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Texas, considered the regulation measures of other jurisdictions, including but not limited to Ohio, which in 2007 set statewide standards prohibiting touching of nude dancers and required some SOBs to end most activity at midnight and suggested among other things, prohibiting closed and private rooms, implementing drug testing, and considering outdoor lighting and indoor video surveillance; and WHEREAS, A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Use Businesses in the City of Denver, noted that the SOBs with the greatest negative impact are adult theaters or bookstores, which generally operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and WHEREAS, the City, for the purpose of avoiding crime incidental to all-night or late night 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 181 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 34 SOBs, and because crimes rise steadily after sundown as noted in the 2010 Secondary Effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses, Testimony on Missouri House Bill 1551, requires that SOBs in Renton operate no earlier than dawn and no later than dusk and not on Sundays as permitted in Center for Fair Public Policy v. Maricopa County (as the City’s objectives would be achieved less effectively without these regulations). And the City notes, by way of example and to show that SOBs are being treated at least as well as other regulated alcohol related enterprises, that in some jurisdictions, Washington winery tasting rooms may only operate 8 hours a day; and WHEREAS, based on various studies including but not limited to the 2002 and 2004 Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View reports, the 1997 Strip Club Testimony, the 2002 Survey, Findings and Recommendations of Sexually Oriented Businesses, Toledo, Ohio, the 2009 An Assessment of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Texas, and anecdotal incidents of assaults, stalking, harassment and stripper rapes, including but not limited to “Stripper foils rape attempt in phony livery cab”, New York Daily News, February 19, 2008; “Man found guilty in abduction, rape of woman in Gwynn Oak”, Baltimore Sun, January 15, 2010, the City requires outdoor lighting, parking lot surveillance cameras (with police viewing access), and that SOB entertainers be escorted to their vehicles to ensure their safety; and WHEREAS, based on various court decisions and studies including but not limited to Fantasyland v. County of San Diego, the 2009 An Assessment of the Adult Entertainment Industry in Texas, the 2003 Kentucky Site Visit Analysis: Sexually Oriented Entertainment & Related Businesses, Talking Points: HB 2144 – Kansas Community Defense Act, Sexually Oriented Businesses, An Insider’s View reports from 2004 and 2006, Strip Club Testimony, from 1997, and anecdotal incidents of stripper rapes, unlawful sexual contact, groping and prostitution, in order for the licensed manager(s) and law enforcement to enforce SOB 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 182 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 35 regulations, it is necessary to maintain a certain level of visibility upon the premises of SOBs providing adult live entertainment. Maintaining adequate lighting facilitates detection by managers and law enforcement of unlawful conduct. This visibility is related not only to lighting but also to an “openness” requirement so that there are no private, closed or VIP rooms, booths, or enclosures; this “openness”, in addition to aiding in the detection of unlawful conduct, also addresses potential health concerns with a hope that it decreases the likelihood of illicit sexual contact or activity and reduces the possible spread of HIV, AIDS or any other social or communicable disease; and IX. CONCLUSION WHEREAS, any incidental restrictions on First Amendment freedom is no greater than is essential to the furtherance of the City’s governmental interests. Since the statutory prohibition is not a means to some greater end, but an end itself, it is without cavil that the City believes that its efforts are a proper exercise of its legislative and police powers; that they serve a legitimate and substantial governmental interest to protect the general welfare, public health, safety, peace, property values, reputation and tranquility of Renton, its residents, and its guests; it regulates but does not prohibit this expressive conduct that is within the outer perimeters of the First Amendment; and it is narrowly tailored and prohibits only what the City seeks to regulate which is conduct and the time, place, and manner of that conduct; and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION I.The above findings are true and correct in all respects. SECTION II.The above findings accurately identify some but not necessarily all of the authority relied on by the City of Renton and will serve as the basis for the adoption of an 5d. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends setting a public hearing on 4/25/2011 to consider City Page 183 of 731 DRAFT RESOLUTION NO. ________ DRAFT 36 ordinance regulating and licensing SOB businesses, managers, and employees that provide adult entertainment in the City of Renton; providing for the safety of those businesses, their employees, potential patrons, and the community; preventing or at least mitigating the typical criminal secondary effects of SOBs; and preventing or at least mitigating the frequent negative effects that SOBs have on property values.

The manufacturer of the current software system, Accela, has reported that this software is at the end of its life-cycle and they will no longer be supporting any updates in the very near future. After conducting the RFP process in 2009 spearheaded by members of the eCityGov Alliance to regionally replace their aging permitting software solutions, EnerGov Solutions was selected as the software of choice. Funding for this system was included in the 2011-2012 Budget. If approved by the City Council, the implementation process will start in April 2011 and last for 14 to 18 months with the projected go-live date for the new system in July 2012. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement with EnerGov Solutions for the purchase of a permit and licensing software system not to exceed $637,451. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 188 of 731 FINANCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY M E M O R A N D U M DATE:March 28, 2011 TO:Terri Briere, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Iwen Wang, FIT Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Mehdi Sadri, IT Director Neil R Watts, Development Services Director SUBJECT:EnerGov Solutions Permitting and Licensing Software System ISSUE Should the City purchase a new permit and licensing software system from EnerGov Solutions? RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council authorize the purchase of EnerGov Solutions software system for an amount not to exceed $637,451 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND Since 2001, the City of Renton has used Permits Plus software system to electronically record permit and inspection activities. Permits Plus’ manufacturer, Accela, has told its customers that Permits Plus is at the end of its life cycle and that they will no longer be supporting it with updates in the very near future. The City joined an effort spearheaded by members of the eCityGov Alliance to regionally replace their aging permitting software solutions. In 2009, the Alliance sent out an RFP and the Renton’s core team and the Alliance members chose EnerGov Solutions as the software vendor of choice.

Project Introduction: EnerGov Solutions is proposing to provide application software and associated professional services to the City of Renton, Washington (referenced herein as “City of Renton, WA”, “Renton, Washington” or the “eCityGov Alliance”) to deliver an enterprise level, comprehensive solution that meets multiple business needs including, but not limited to: Planning Building, Code Compliance, Business and Pet Licensing, and Inspections. To this end, a Statement of Work (SOW) is provided to clearly frame and define all software, services, tasks, roles, responsibilities, assumptions, expectations etc. germane to the successful implementation and deployment of the EnerGov .NET land management system. To the extent possible, it is the intent of both parties to limit custom programming requirements and leverage the specific functionality inherent to the EnerGov .NET application and “best practices” of other cities to accomplish similar functions. EnerGov Solutions implementation team shall assist in business process analysis and workflow consulting in order to accomplish this; however it will be expected that the City of Renton, WA mirror these accepted processes every chance possible. This Statement of Work (SOW) is to provide a thorough and accurate description of the following metrics: • What software and services will be delivered; • How will the software and services be delivered; • Who will deliver which software and services; • When will the software and services be delivered; • Where will the software be delivered and where will the services be performed to successfully deliver the requisite business processes as defined by the City of Renton **EnerGov shall have the right to assign personnel to the consulting agreement but the City shall have the right to review the EnerGov personnel assigned to the project. This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to require a suitable and qualified replacement in a timely manner. EnerGov warrants that each person assigned to the job will be for the duration of the project with full-time efforts except as specified by Customer or due to the following exceptions: illness, death, termination, or resignation from EnerGov. No subcontractor shall be used on the project without the express written approval of the City. 2. Project Timeline: The implementation of the project will be the responsibility of a joint City and EnerGov Implementation Team. It is understood and acknowledged by both parties that a definitive project plan will be drafted and presented as an early deliverable upon completion of the Assess Milestone (a preliminary project timeline by phase is included herein for reference purposes only). The project will subsequently be guided and implemented based upon this mutually agreed project plan. Project Timeliness & Access The Implementation estimated project timeline is 14 months from the agreed Kickoff date, and both parties shall work diligently to deliver the comprehensive solution within that timeframe. It‘s understood between both parties that a project plan will be drafted as an early deliverable in the “Assess” milestone and all Pre-Assessment Tasks will need to be completed before this project plan can be finalized. This statement of work allows for minimal delays caused by either EnerGov or the City (e.g., creation of technical environments, availability of personnel, timing of business decisions, etc.) as adherence to the project schedule and maintaining the defined scope is a cornerstone of the Statement of Work. As such, requests to increase the scope and/or timeframe, such as additional configuration 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 210 of 731 EnerGov .NET Systems Implementation / Statement of Work [3] assistance, changes, or previously undisclosed information, which has a direct, material impact (increase or decrease) on the services documented in this contract, will be discouraged. Nevertheless, as an outcome of any change, EnerGov and/or the City may amend the timeline, costs and/or tasks provided in the document as additional detailed information is obtained relative to the City’s functional and technical business requirements. • The City and EnerGov will put forth their best efforts to meet all required deliverable dates outlined and agreed as part of this project. • EnerGov and the City will provide appropriate “process experts” who will be available for interview with reasonable notice and will have adequate knowledge of the process to provide definitive answers regarding the process and associated business rules. • Process owners (department heads, managers, supervisors) will be available with reasonable notice to confirm and validate the results of the process interviews. In the event questions arise regarding the correct policy or process, the question will be resolved within 2-normal business days with a definitive answer from an appropriate “authority” within the City’s project team. If the City’s staff is unavailable for extended periods, a designated signatory should be identified to meet the required 2 business day requirement. • The City and EnerGov personnel will attend and be on time for all scheduled process interviews, technical “side bars,” question resolution sessions and ‘sign-off’ meetings. The City’s personnel will remain available throughout the scheduled time period. • The City of Renton will designate personnel that are authorized to approve and accept the various process documents and final set ups that will be completed by EnerGov. The authorized City agent will be available for signoff meetings with reasonable notice of at least 5 normal business days. If and when City staff is unavailable for extended time periods, a designated signatory should be identified to meet the required 5 business day requirement. • Requested information, documents, sample files, and other materials relevant to the process will be readily available and accurate and will be kept and maintained on a sharepoint site/ftp site, etc. EnerGov will provide a Microsoft Sharepoint Site and a FTP site for this communication. • EnerGov personnel will have necessary access to city servers and computers being utilized to host the EnerGov .NET application. EnerGov and City personnel will work together to determine appropriate rights and roles associated with this access. In addition, EnerGov personnel will be required to submit a background check prior to obtaining access from the City. Energov Employee access to City servers, computers, software, network and other technologies will be in compliance with the City’s security and technology policies. 3.

All Implementation Teams will document and coordinate their activities through the Project Manager thus assigned using the Task Plan. Progress will be reported to both party’s Project Director(s) and published on a bi-weekly basis by both the City’s Project Manager and the EnerGov Project Manager. Slipped Tasks of the Task Plan can be identified by either the City of Renton or the EnerGov Project Team. In the event of a slipped task, it will be the responsibility of the both parties to determine a process to resolve the task and agree upon the resolution date of the slipped task. If a schedule change is a result of slipped task a change order must be completed and agreed upon by both party’s Project Directors. 4.2 Hardware Expectations / Software Installation Any and all hardware required for this project is to be purchased by the City and must be installed and operable before the Configuration Milestone begins; all EnerGov software (test, development, and training instances) will be installed by EnerGov personnel during this phase. In conjunction with the City’s Project Technical Lead, EnerGov will facilitate the installation of each software component delineated under Section 3 - Components to be provided by EnerGov Solutions. The EnerGov Project technical team member will work with the City’s project lead to complete an installation journal documenting the entire installation process and acceptance criteria. Please find below an overview of EnerGov recommended server / client / mobile resources assuming eReviews technology will be implemented on the Application Server, specifications can be adjusted based upon different configurations: Database Server Specifications: Dell PowerEdge R710 Series or HP equivalent / Quad Core Xeon Processor (5500/5600 Series) 2 GHz+ or better/ 12 GB 133 MHz, Dual Ranked RDIMMs / 73GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI HotPlug HardDrive(s) / Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 1/RAID 5 / Additional Drive Space Provided by SAN / Microsoft Windows Server 2008 / Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Application Server Specifications: Dell PowerEdge R710 Series or HP equivalent / Quad Core Xeon Processor (5500/5600 Series) 2 GHz+ or better/ 12 GB 133 MHz, Dual Ranked RDIMMs / 73GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI HotPlug HardDrive(s) / Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 1/RAID 5 / Additional Drive Space Provided by SAN / Microsoft Windows Server 2008 / IIS 7.0 External Application Server Specifications: VM Ware virtual server or HP Physical server equivalent Web Server Specifications: VM Ware virtual server or HP Physical server equivalent Client Specifications: Windows XP Professional SP 2 or Windows 7 / 2.0 GB RAM / 5 GB Free Space Recommended Mobile Units: Panasonic Toughbook 19 /1 GB RAM / 2 GB Free Space or comparable standard laptop with similar specifications *EnerGov is capable of running in a virtualized environment utilizing VM Ware and fully supports Windows 7 operating system. **The City will be responsible ensuring the stability of ESRI ArcGIS Server Advanced prior to the EnerGov .NET implementation. 4.3 Business Process Assessment and Analysis 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 219 of 731 EnerGov .NET Systems Implementation / Statement of Work [12] The City of Renton, in conjunction with the EnerGov Implementation Team will utilize standard “Best Practice” EnerGov business process flow documentation as a starting point for identifying the requirements for the implementation of EnerGov .NET. EnerGov will perform full business workflow/process analysis of all existing and documented processes and make appropriate system configurations and/or recommend appropriate process changes to best accommodate and promote a successful implementation and deployment the EnerGov .NET system. All business process workflows will be reviewed by City personnel familiar with each respective process and enhanced by the incorporation of site-specific reporting assembled for the City as part of this project. EnerGov will share all project specific workflow - business process design and analysis documentation to the City of Renton. 4.4 Design and Build The purpose of the design step is to identify the hierarchy of each business process discovered in the Assess Milestone and document all specifications and requirements needed to configure the EnerGov .NET system. EnerGov will be responsible for producing documents that outline the complete configuration of each business process. These documents, which may include (but are not limited to) configuration reports, Visio workflow diagrams, data conversion spreadsheets, excel fee structures, etc. will be submitted for review, approval and sign-off by the City’s Project Manager. The business analysis and design documents will be the basis for creating test scenarios for each of the business processes. These documents will be defined by the City with the assistance of the EnerGov project team. The Implementation Team will utilize a server with appropriate database licenses established by the City. The data instance will be protected from non-implementation team members and backed up in accordance with the normal IT procedures utilized by the City. It’s understood that non-implementation, “qualified technology staff”, members may routinely have access to this data instance but the City will be fully responsible for their actions, etc. EnerGov configuration specialists will train the Implementation Teams on the proper use and set up of custom tabs and menus. 4.5 Acceptance Testing: The purpose of the Acceptance Test is to execute and provide validation of all functions deemed mandatory for sign off and cut over to the production system. The criteria for signoff will be developed as part of the test plan development and solution design documentation. This shall include testing and validation of the City’s annual fee increase process. Software will not be moved into production until signoff on the testing milestone has been received. The City will provide qualified personnel for testing process set ups within EnerGov .NET when requested. Issues or problems that are identified during testing will be documented in an EnerGov approved incident log. During the project (i.e. after the business process review and setup) test procedures will be developed to lead to a formal acceptance of the system. Participation will be required of the City’s Implementation Team to specify and run testing in order to gain the right level of acceptance. The principal intent of the test plan is to provide a realistic exposure of the EnerGov .NET system to real-world business-case scenarios. Testing Stages: Configuration Testing EnerGov and the City will perform configuration testing to validate that each business process is configured to the design specifications as approved by the City in Section 4.4. Any changes required to meet the design specification as approved by the City in Section 4.4 will be the responsibility of EnerGov. A sign-off sheet will be provided to allow City personnel to approve that each business process matches the design specification. Business Process Testing Selected City end user(s) staff will perform business process testing with assistance from EnerGov. This will test the configured business process to validate that the business process flow is appropriate and efficient in a database 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 220 of 731 EnerGov .NET Systems Implementation / Statement of Work [13] environment. Any possible changes identified during this testing will be documented and presented to the EnerGov Implementation Team. EnerGov will review and make recommendations as to how to modify the business process. If applicable, EnerGov will make configuration modifications. All business process modifications will be the responsibility of the City, with support from EnerGov Staff. All business process testing will occur after configuration testing. Acceptance Process Testing The ability to complete processes accurately for each module presented in Section 3 - Components to be provided by EnerGov Solutions will be part of the functional testing of deliverables. The acceptance process will be based on project deliverables that will be documented on a mutually agreed upon form. Knowledge transfer to City staff to the point of independent performance shall be a standard item on each acceptance form. Moreover, each defined deliverable will include a standard acceptance form. Within the testing timeframe, the Implementation Team will utilize a range of severity levels in order to prioritize the impact of test scenario failure. These being: • Level 1 – Show Stopper. Cannot continue due to severity of error • Level 2 – Critical Issue. Testing can continue but error will hinder ability to go live • Level 3 – Major Problem. Testing can continue but business process will be impacted if put into a live setting • Level 4 – Medium Problem. Testing can continue and system can go live with minimal revision to business process • Level 5 – Minor Problem. Testing can continue and system can go live. Problem needs correction but does not impact business process. Response times and classification of issues into a severity level will be agreed upon by the City Implementation Team and EnerGov as part of the User Acceptance Test Plan. The City will complete testing in a reasonable amount of time (as per the estimated effort) and correctly identify and document all problems present during that ‘round’ of testing. Selected staff will be identified to test the system according to the agreed criteria from the Project User Acceptance Test Plan to ensure that the system’s implementation at their site is successful. The staff will address the areas of the EnerGov software that are relevant to their business. The solution will be tested under normal / usual conditions of operation, as well as some exceptions that may occur in the business process. This will ensure that any problems are identified during the testing and an appropriate solution is found while the Implementation Team is still deployed in order to address such issues. Early detection of problems will also lower the tendency for people in various areas to find their own workarounds, thereby eroding the benefits of a consistent approach to financial management and associated benefits. 4.6 Business Process Documentation & Training Documentation EnerGov shall provide step-by-step documentation for all core training provided in an editable format such that the City may enhance the information with specific processes and workflow information. The City may choose to provide step-by-step documentation for each business process. 4.7 Comprehensive Staff Training EnerGov will provide comprehensive, on-site turn-key training and Go Live Support to City staff as delineated the software purchase proposal. Training for this project will be conducted on-site by the EnerGov Implementation team and will consist of a combination of One-on-One training & Classroom training. EnerGov’s Project Manag er will coordinate the training sessions in conjunction with the City’s Project Manager. The City will be responsible for providing adequate space and equipment to conduct the training sessions unless otherwise noted (i.e. EnerGov 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 221 of 731 EnerGov .NET Systems Implementation / Statement of Work [14] provides the option for specialized training sessions @ its headquarters in Atlanta, GA for districts choosing to utilize this resource).

PURPOSE 2.1 The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to assist the eCityGov Alliance (“Alliance”) members and subscribers (“Stakeholders”) in identifying qualified vendors that can offer permitting software that can integrate bi-directionally with the Alliance’s www.MyBuildingPermit.com portal and/or with an individual city’s own Web portal. The portal(s) will provide citizens and other stakeholders (such as architects and developers) the ability to apply for permits online, submit electronic plans, pay related fees, schedule inspections, check status, and other related functions. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 243 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 8 10/09/09 3. BACKGROUND 3.1 The Alliance is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide options for regional permitting software for the Alliance, six (6) participating cities and future jurisdictions which may decide to participate as part of an intra-local agreement or by subscribing to hosted services provided by the Alliance, one of the participating cities, or a vendor or 3rd party provider. Vendors are invited to submit a proposal outlining their experience and qualifications in performing work directly related to the scope required; their understanding of what the Alliance and the participating cities are doing and intend to do, and how the Vendor will help them meet their goals and objectives; their ability to meet the functional and other requirements as identified in this Request for Proposal (RFP); their proposed pricing as requested in this RFP; any other proposed alternatives or options to help the Alliance and the participating cities accomplish their goals and objectives; and their ability to meet the technology, contract terms and conditions, award and contracting options and timing, and payment terms of this RFP. 3.2 The current participating entities in this RFP are shown below: City of Bothell City of Issaquah City of Kirkland City of Redmond City of Renton City of Sammamish eCityGov Alliance 3.3 Not all Stakeholders will adopt a new permitting system at the same time. Stakeholders are also not bound to electronic plan submittal and review through participation in this phase of the project, nor to participation in the Alliance’s Web portal, www.MyBuildingPermit.com. 3.4 The jurisdictions within the Alliance are committed to finding a common solution that will integrate bi-directionally with the Alliance’s award winning MyBuildingPermit.com on-line permit portal, although in the case of the City of Redmond which has its own portal, Redmond would either utilize the vendor’s portal (this is Redmond’s first choice) or would require that the vendor allow Redmond’s portal to bi-directionally integrate with the vendor’s software. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 244 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 9 10/09/09 The goal of this procurement is to find a qualified vendor that will help us achieve our vision of: • Developing and maintaining consistent practices between participation jurisdictions • Becoming the most valued development services web portal in the nation • Delivering web-based, wireless, and paperless permitting and review processes and setting the benchmark for best practices • Offering consistent core services that meet the needs of our land development and contraction customers and citizens • Incorporating sustainability as a component of our practices Because the participating cities vary in size, requirements and project funding/budget, as will future subscribers and participating cities, it is possible that more than one vendor may be selected. Even if this should happen, there is a very strong preference to minimize the number of vendors selected. 3.5 BACKGROUND: ECITYGOV ALLIANCE AND MYBUILDINGPERMIT.COM This Regional Permit System RFP is being coordinated by the eCityGov Alliance, an inter-local government agency. The Alliance provides a number of cross-boundary Web service portals including MyBuildingPermit.com (“MBP.com”). The primary driver for the development and implementation of MBP.com and other Alliance services is to improve service to constituents by making services and information available online through cross-boundary, service oriented portals. The Alliance shared service model also significantly reduces member cost for providing these service channels. The Alliance project committees further enhance service delivery by simplifying and aligning business practices. The current iteration of MBP.com provides: • Online application, payment and issuance of over-the-counter permits • Permit status (all permits) • Online inspection scheduling • Construction tip sheets and inspection checklists • Training opportunities This year the Alliance began work on expanding the functionality of MBP.com to be able to accept all types of development permits, including those permit types which require plan review. Implementation of the expanded MBP.com functionality is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2010. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 245 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 10 10/09/09 It is important that responders to this RFP understand the relationship between the MBP.com member jurisdictions1 and that these jurisdictions do not plan to replace MBP.com with vendor proposed portal solutions. MBP.com member jurisdictions are seeking permit system solutions which can be easily interfaced to MBP.com and other systems. More information regarding the eCityGov Alliance is available online at www.eCityGov.net. 1 The City of Redmond is not an MBP.com member 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 246 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 11 10/09/09 3.6 BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPATING CITIES Background information about the participating Cities is shown below.

SCOPE OF SERVICES 4.1 LICENSE AND HOSTING OPTIONS TO MEET BUSINESS MODEL AND OBJECTIVES The Alliance is looking for a vendor that can provide permitting software for its Stakeholders which may take the form of a licensed solution for each individual City, a licensed solution for the Alliance to host for its various jurisdictional subscribers, some other subscription or hosted service, or some hybrid thereof. The Alliance and its Stakeholders are interested in a vendor that understands the business model and objectives of the Alliance and this project, and can deliver a cost effective and flexible solution that can meet the needs of the Alliance, the Participating Cities and future Stakeholders. The Alliance is also interested in any other creative solutions or options that a vendor may propose to meet its needs. ALTERNATIVE/OPTION FOR THE ALLIANCE, INDEPENDENT OF THE PARTICIPATING CITIES The Participating Cities are interested in a proposal that includes the total cost for an individual city to contract directly with the vendor for its own software license or to subscribe to the vendor’s hosted solution. As an alternative to this traditional self-hosted permit system model, the eCityGov Alliance is interested in exploring the possibility of providing a hosted solution for Alliance member jurisdictions, independent of the Participating Cities in this proposal. Over the past several years the Alliance has received a number of inquiries regarding a hosted permit system provided by (or through) the Alliance. The Alliance does not have a preconceived model of how such a hosted solution would be provided. The following are some initial thoughts that may help guide responses to this alternative. Alliance Hosted Solution option: • Could be hosted by the Alliance or vendor • Application business and IT support could be provided by the Alliance and/or vendor • Annual licensing and on-going support costs which can be readily pre-determined to create budget certainty for the jurisdiction of the hosted service. Ideally the hosted solution would offer opportunities to lower the cost of individual jurisdiction implementations. • At this point, the Alliance does not have any subscribers or users for this Alternative, so the proposing vendor will need to include in its proposal a pricing model that will give the Alliance the ability to do proposals (and pricing) to prospective jurisdictions. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 249 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 14 10/09/09 • The model proposed to the Alliance must also have the flexibility to handle unlimited growth in subscribers, preferably with a discount structure as incremental subscribers are added. Benefits of working with the Alliance: • Potential development of a best business practice model • Operational and strategic program management governance in place • Regional shared funding mechanisms in place • The Alliance has direct access to resources ranging from IT, line of business to executive leadership Responding to the Alliance Hosting alternative Proposing vendors are not required to respond to the self-hosted portion (pricing for Participating Cities) of the RFP if they are only responding to this Alternative. However, the applicant must complete responses to the functional requirements section in this RFP that are applicable to the City of Sammamish (which is serving as our “model requirements”), as well as the rest of the forms regarding company information, qualifications, exceptions to the RFP (including terms and conditions), technical information, references, non-collusion certificate, insurance requirements and equal opportunity requirements. The proposer should outline a Hosting proposal based on the considerations outlined above. The proposer is free to add other considerations and solutions to the proposal. The proposer shall also complete the pricing form for the eCityGov Alliance contained in this RFP. Alliance Hosting Alternative Proposal is Non-Binding Because there are so many unknowns at this time with the Alliance Hosting Alternative model (subscribers from multiple jurisdictions), further discussions and options may need to be explored with the vendor. Therefore, the Alliance Hosting Alternative proposal, and the materials contained therein, shall be considered a non-binding proposal by the proposer and the Alliance. Evaluation of Alternative Alliance Hosting Proposals The eCityGov Alliance is willing to consider a hosted (or cloud-based) alternative if the solution can show cost savings over a self-hosted solution. Any cost comparisons should be provided on the basis of full cost of ownership over a defined period of time. The solution should not compromise an individual jurisdiction’s ability to define business parameters such as permit types and fee schedules, manage system interfaces and provide business level support (such as report writing). 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 250 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 15 10/09/09 Vendors who would like to propose a hosted solution may do so as a stand-alone option or in conjunction with self-hosted solutions…in other words, two copies of the costing and technical sections of this RFP may be turned in if one offers a hosted model and the other offers a self- hosted model for the Participating Cities. 4.2 KEY MODULES/FUNCTIONALTY FOR PARTICIPATING CITIES The main functionality/modules for the permitting software for the Alliance and the Participating Cities is shown below. “R” means that this is a required module/functionality, “I” is important, “N” means that it is nice-to-have, “E” means that although it is not a requirement, that City is interested in exploring the vendor’s capabilities in this area.

This includes but is not limited to the ability of citizens to use the Alliance or Redmond’s portal to access the software to fill out a permit application, pay fees, submit plans, create a new permit case in the vendor’s software and receive the new assigned permit case number from the software, get permit status, request an inspection and retrieve scheduling confirmation, and view payment and deposit status. This means that the vendor must be able to “expose” its software so that the Alliance can push data and transactions from its portal into the vendor’s software. • Guarantee pricing under this RFP for the Alliance, the Participating Cities and future Stakeholders for a minimum of three years from the first executed contract under this RFP. • Provide a guaranteed group discount for future Stakeholders/Subscribers. • Flexibility to allow the Alliance or a Participating City to host the software for other jurisdictions with no cap on the number of jurisdictions that can be supported. • The functional ability to meet the functional requirements identified in Attachment A – Functional Requirements • In the event that one instance of the software is used to support multiple jurisdictions, the software must be able to partition the data, case types, rules, configuration, etc. for each jurisdiction so that they are independent of each other, including how security and administration is handled for each jurisdiction. • The proposing party shall include with its proposal an implementation timeline showing the expected major milestones and completion dates for a Participating City. 4.3 FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR REGIONAL PERMIT SYSTEM Proposing parties must complete the form in Attachment A – Functional Requirements and submit it in the appropriate section of the proposal as described in Section 6 (Submittal Requirements) of this proposal. 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 252 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 17 10/09/09 4.4 REQUIREMENTS FOR PRICE PROPOSAL Proposing parties must complete the form in Attachment B – Price Proposal and submit it in the appropriate section of the proposal as described in Section 6 (Submittal Requirements) of this proposal. 5.

However, because of differences in requirements for the Participating Cities, evaluation points from a City may be different from the Alliance Selection 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 262 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 27 10/09/09 Committee. So, while it is the goal of the Committee to select one vendor, it may be possible that another vendor may be selected by a City because it is a better fit for its requirements. 9.2 Scoring and Evaluation Factors The evaluation factors reflect a wide range of considerations. While cost is important, other factors are also significant. Consequently, the Committee may select other than the lowest cost proposal. The objective is to choose the Vendor capable of providing quality software and professional services that will help the Alliance achieve the goals and objectives of the requested software and services within a reasonable budget. Evaluations of submittal packets will be based on criteria as below. All proposals will be evaluated using the same criteria and possible points. Evaluation Criteria Possible Points Responsiveness/Completeness of Proposal (i.e., Were all the forms completed and everything included that was required by the RFP? Were explanations in Comments or Additional Information areas adequate?) 10 Experience/Qualifications (i.e., does the proposing party have experience working within the requested services arena; experience working with municipalities; ability to successfully deliver/implement the scope of services; vendor’s ability to successfully work with the Alliance; proposing party’s references) 30 Scope of Services (i.e., how well does the solution meet our requirements and will it help the Alliance and/or the Participating Cities to successfully achieve the MBP.com vision and/or an individual City’s vision; did the Vendor propose any revisions and/or changes to the draft Scope of Services that would better serve the Alliance; and is the Vendor able to meet the Alliance’s and/or Participating Cities’ terms and conditions.) 40 Budget (i.e., does the budget seem reasonable for the scope of services proposed; does the budget provide the Alliance good value; and does the budget maximize total return on investment.) 20 Total Points Possible 100 5e. ‐ Finance and Information Technology Department recommends approval of a contract in the amount of $637,451 with EnerGov Solutions Page 263 of 731 Request For Proposal # 09-003 Regional Permit System Issue Date: 10-09-2009 Page 28 10/09/09 9.3 Vendor Scripted Demo and Presentation, Committee Interview and/or Additional Information or Reviews After the proposals are evaluated, the Selection Committee will determine whether formal presentations, scripted software demonstrations and interviews are necessary, and if so, which proposing parties may be invited to make a formal presentation, scripted demo and/or sit for a panel interview with the Selection Committee.

Of the 48 separate parcels involved, we have been successful in obtaining 8 signed purchase agreements, of which two have closed. In addition we have obtained two possession and use agreements. In order for the project to go forward, it is necessary to proceed with condemnation on those properties for which we do not have signed purchase and sale agreements. The properties with possession and use agreements must also be included in the condemnation action so the value of the taking can be determined by the court in the event negotiations on price fail. Pursuant to RCW 8.12.005 and 8.25.290 the City is required to provide notification to all holders of interest in property affected by a condemnation action at least 15 days prior to final action by the Council adopting the condemnation ordinance. Therefore, the Council must set the date for such action so that notice can be sent to those holders of interest in such properties. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Set the Council meeting on May 2, 2011, for first and second reading and adoption of an ordinance condemning certain properties on Rainier Avenue South between South Grady Way and 200 feet north of South 2nd Street, as described in exhibits A and B of the attached ordinance. 5f. ‐ Transportation Systems Division requests authorization to set 5/2/2011 as the date for first and second reading and adoption of an Page 433 of 731 5f. ‐ Transportation Systems Division requests authorization to set 5/2/2011 as the date for first and second reading and adoption of an Page 434 of 731 5f. ‐ Transportation Systems Division requests authorization to set 5/2/2011 as the date for first and second reading and adoption of an Page 435 of 731 5f. ‐ Transportation Systems Division requests authorization to set 5/2/2011 as the date for first and second reading and adoption of an Page 436 of 731 5f. ‐ Transportation Systems Division requests authorization to set 5/2/2011 as the date for first and second reading and adoption of an Page 437 of 731 CITY OF RENTON COUNCIL AGENDA BILL Subject/Title: Automated Meter Reading System Contract with United Pipe and Supply, Inc.

The City’s evaluation team reviewed all submitted technical and cost proposals and selected United Pipe and Supply, Inc. as the best and most advantageous proposal to the City considering functionality, compatibility with the City’s existing metering and billing systems, and life cycle costs. The Water Utility has budgeted $2,500,000 for the AMR project in the 2011 and 2012 Capital Improvement Program budget (account #425/55591) to cover all anticipated expenses in 2011 and 2012 related to the acquisition of the AMR system. To reduce impact to the annual budgets for capital improvement projects, the AMR project will be phased in over a 6-year period (2011-2016) and the total budget is $4,600,000. Of this amount, $2,388,861.08 million is for the proposed contract and $2,211,138.92 is for City staff time and materials to be purchased for the installation of the end-point radios, replacing meter bodies, and registers as needed for about 17,000 water meters.

with Seattle Public Utilities Meeting: Regular Council - 11 Apr 2011 Exhibits: Issue Paper Partial Requirements Contract Resolution Submitting Data: Dept/Div/Board: Public Works Staff Contact: Abdoul Gafour, x7210 Recommended Action: Refer to Utilities Committee Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required: $ 49,000 (2011), 151,000 (estimate for 2012) Transfer Amendment: $NA Amount Budgeted: $ 50,000 (2011 contract expenditures)Revenue Generated: $NA Total Project Budget: $ 100,000 (2011 budget #425.455200) City Share Total Project: $ 100% SUMMARY OF ACTION: The Water Utility requests Council’s approval of the Partial Requirements Contract, a 50-year (2012- 2062) water supply contract, with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to provide the City of Renton with long- term water supply to meet the City’s future needs. The City of Renton needs to plan for and secure adequate water supply to meet future growth within its water service area. Based on projected water demand forecast, the City anticipates needing additional water for peak demand within the next two years and reaching its total annual supply capacity around 2028. The Water Utility has budgeted sufficient funds in the six-year (2011-2016) Capital Improvement Program budget to cover the City’s cost for our participation in SPU’s regional conservation program and for future water purchases. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Partial Requirements Contract, a 50-year (2012-2062) water supply contract with Seattle Public Utilities to provide the City of Renton with long-term water to meet the City’s future needs. 5h. ‐ Utility Systems Division recommends approval of a 50‐year partial requirements water supply contract with Seattle Public Utilities, with an Page 644 of 731 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:March 23, 2011 TO:Terri Briere, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator STAFF CONTACT:Abdoul Gafour, Water Utility Supervisor, x7210 SUBJECT:Partial Requirements Contract, A 50-year Water Supply Contract with Seattle Public Utilities ISSUE: Should Council approve the Partial Requirements Contract, a 50-year water supply contract, with Seattle Public Utilities to provide the City of Renton with long-term water to meet the City’s future needs? RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Partial Requirements Contract, a 50-year (2012-2062) water supply contract, with Seattle Public Utilities to provide the City of Renton with long-term water to meet the City’s future needs. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The City of Renton needs to plan and secure adequate water supply to meet future growth within its water service area. Based on projected water demand forecast, the City anticipates needing additional water for peak demand within the next two years and reaching its total annual supply capacity around 2028. Water Utility staff has evaluated and performed cost-benefit analyses on several water supply options, which included: the construction of water quality improvements for the City’s Well 5A; the potential to obtain future supply from Cascade Water Alliance; and through the renewal of an existing water supply contract with Seattle Public Utilities. We determined that the best and most economical option for the City would be to renew and replace the existing contract with SPU with a new 50-year partial requirements water supply contract. The new contract will be the same as SPU’s contracts with its 19 existing purveyors. Subject to Council’s approval, the new contract will be effective on January 1, 2012 and will expire on January 1, 2062. Under the new contract, SPU will provide the City with a reliable source of water supply and in sufficient 5h. ‐ Utility Systems Division recommends approval of a 50‐year partial requirements water supply contract with Seattle Public Utilities, with an Page 645 of 731 Ms. Terri Briere, Council President Page 2 of 2 March 23, 2011 H:\File Sys\WTR - Drinking Water Utility\WTR-11 - Interagency Cooperation\WTR-11-0012 - Seattle Public Utilities\New 2012-2062 Contract\Issue-paper.doc/AGtp quantity to meet the City’s long-term needs. The main elements of the contract include: ·No limit of quantity of water purchased by the City ·Full participation in SPU’s regional water conservation program ·Additional water system interties allowed when needed ·Reasonable wholesale water rates ·No SPU facilities charges for new connections ·City’s representation on SPU operating board for decision making In order to participate in SPU’s regional water conservation program and to qualify for financial incentives and rebates, the City will need to pay a one-time program start-up cost of $15,000 and a one-time program buy-in cost of $34,000. The annual City’s cost for participation in the regional water conservation program will be based on a percentage of SPU’s program cost, using the ratio of Renton’s total annual retail flows over SPU’s annual retail and wholesale flows. The estimated City’s cost for 2012, using the 2009 respective retail water sale flows, would be about $151,000 based on a 5% ratio of Renton’s annual retail flow divided by SPU’s annual retail and wholesale flows. The Water Utility has budgeted sufficient funds in the six-year (2011-2016) Capital Improvement Program budget to cover the City’s cost for our participation in SPU’s regional conservation program and for future water purchases. The $49,000 for the regional program initial set-up and buy-in costs will be paid from the Water Utility 2011 Capital Improvement Program budget (#425.455200). CONCLUSION: The City needs to obtain additional water supply to meet future growth demand. Council’s approval of the wholesale water supply contract with SPU will allow the City to secure a reliable source of water supply and in sufficient quantity to meet the City’s needs to year 2062. The City and its customers will benefit from the nationally recognized regional water conservation program and be able to conserve natural resources and become more sustainable. cc: Lys Hornsby,
