SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Hearing Examiner noted that the small amount at issue in the tow appeals makes it difficult for
people to justify taking time off work or otherwise scheduling time to appear at tow hearings. As the
Police Department and tow company are able to submit testimony in writing, the Hearing Examiner’s
suggestion was to make it a process where all parties can submit their testimony in writing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Ordinance adding a new subsection 10-5-7E allowing a written statement by an owner of a
towed vehicle in lieu of an appearance at a post impoundment hearing.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Upon a recent review of Title VI, a number of weaknesses in Chapter 6-18 became apparent. In order to
address the weaknesses in Chapter 6-18, an ordinance is required to revise the chapter. Specifically,
the ordinance amends RMC 6-18-5, entitled Dangerous Weapons; Evidence, by making it more specific
and making the penalty a gross misdemeanor; it amends RMC 6-18-11, entitled Breach of the Public
Peace, by adding an offense for causing a riot, clarifying some language, eliminating potentially
unconstitutional language, making some of the penalties gross misdemeanors, and adding some
definitions; it amends RMC 6-18-19, entitled Making or Having Auto Theft Tools, by clarifying some
language; it amends RMC 6-18-20, entitled Park Rules and Regulations Violations, to make it a gross
misdemeanor to vandalize City property or engage in acts of violence; it also adds Criminal Accomplice,
Criminal Attempt, Criminal Coercion, Criminal Conspiracy, Criminal Defense of Insanity, and Criminal
Solicitation as theories of liability or as a criminal defense under the RMC; and it adds a criminal jail
alternative of Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance amending Chapter 6-18 to clarify and strengthen the penal code.

STAFF CONTACT:Angie Mathias (x6576)
SUBJECT:Annexation Notice of Intent – Windstone V
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition to annex 4.3-acres by the direct petition
method. The proposed annexation is called Windstone V. State law requires that the Council
hold a public meeting with the annexation proponent within 60 days of receipt of a 10% Notice
of Intent petition. The purpose of the meeting is for Council to decide whether to accept or reject
the proposal and whether to require the simultaneous adoption of City zoning consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, if the proposed annexation is successful.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the
10% Notice of Intent petition. If Council concurs, the Administration recommends that it take the
following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
·Accept the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition; and
·Authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition of Annex for the 4.3-acre area; and
·Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area accept City of
Renton zoning that is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan land use
designation.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The proposed 4.3-acre Windstone V Annexation is bordered by the existing City limits at its
northern, eastern, and southern boundaries and is located immediately north of Sunset Boulevard.
This area was part of the Sunset East unincorporated island annexation that was initiated by the
City in 2009, but was then repealed by voters of the area. The area did not become a part of the
City and a property owner in the area is now seeking this proposed Windstone V annexation
8g. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings for the proposed
Page 129 of 238
Proposed Annexation – Windstone V
Page 2 of 5
using the 60% Direct Petition method, which is a property owner driven annexation process.
1.Location: The Windstone V Annexation area is located south of Northeast 16th Street if
extended, west but not abutting 148th Avenue Southeast, north Northeast Sunset Boulevard,
and east of Jericho Avenue Northeast if extended.
2.Assessed value: The 2011 assessed valuation for the subject annexation site is $1,059,000.
3.Natural features: The site is generally level with the highpoint at the western portion of the
area. The topography then descends to the east with no steep slopes present. Greenes
Stream, a Class IV waterway is present at the eastern boundary of the area.
4.Existing land uses: Existing development is residential and vacant land. There are an
estimated 4 single-family homes and the estimated existing population is 11 people. There
are 2.9-acres of vacant land.
5.Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject annexation site as
Residential Low Density (RLD).
6.Existing zoning: The existing King County zoning is R-4, allowing four dwelling units per
gross acre. The area was pre-zoned R-5 as part of the May Valley Prezone in 1997,
Ordinance #4667. However, the R-5 zone is no longer in use in the City of Renton. The
zoning classification that most closely matches the density allowed in the former R-5 is R-4.
The area is designated Residential Low Density (RLD) on the City’s Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map. There are three zones that implement the RLD designation: Resource
Conservation (1 dwelling unit per 10 acres), Residential One Dwelling Unit per Acre (R-1),
and Residential Four Dwelling Units per Acre (R-4). As part of this annexation process, the
City will hold two public hearings in the matter of zoning for the area.
7.Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems. Specific comments
follow.
Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within King County Water District 90’s
service area. Any person seeking to develop or redevelop property must obtain a
certificate of water availability from Water District 90 prior to beginning development.
Because the area is within the service area of Water District #90, the annexation would
not create any need for additional City staff.
Wastewater. The annexation site is located within the Renton Sewer Service Area. The
area is relatively underdeveloped and it is expected that, if sewer lines were to be
extended in the future, the costs would be incurred by a developer. Staff indicated the
annexation is a logical extension of their services and would not require any additional
staff or costs to serve.
Surface Water Utility. The proposed annexation area is within the May Creek drainage
basin. This drainage basin has been identified as having significant erosion, water
quality, and habitat problems due to urbanization. The site contains Greenes Creek, a
8g. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings for the proposed
Page 130 of 238
Proposed Annexation – Windstone V
Page 3 of 5
tributary stream to May Creek. Staff noted that any future applications for development
in the City will need to comply with the City adopted Surface Water Design Manual
(2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual and City amendments RMC 4-6-030)
and that the flow control standard to be applied to new construction in the area is the
Flow Control Duration standard matching Forested Site Conditions. Staff noted that King
County records indicate one drainage complaint was lodged in 1996 for SR900 runoff.
The area contains no infrastructure on site and no ditch along the north side of SR900.
Runoff is conveyed via sheet flow to the seasonal stream channel. A culvert carrying
discharge from the south side of SR900 discharges to the stream as well. Staff stated that
the annexation is a logical extension of their services. There is no infrastructure or right
of way to maintain currently within the area.
Parks. King County’s May Creek Park is located approximately 400 feet east of the
annexation area. It is 54.27 acres in size and has walking trails. The City of Renton
owns Kiwanis Park located approximately 1.1 mile southwest of the annexation area.
The park has an activity building, ball fields, a basketball court, playground equipment,
restrooms, and tennis courts. Community Services staff indicated that in the long-term the
4.3-acre potential annexation area and the larger area should be served with a
neighborhood park which would require land acquisition. Staff indicated that the
annexation represents a logical extension of their services. Also, there would be no City
assumption of responsibility for facility maintenance.
Fire. Eastside Fire and Rescue currently serves the area. Upon annexation, Renton Fire
and Emergency Services will provide fire and emergency services to the area. Staff
indicated that the annexation represents a logical extension of their services and would
not require additional facilities or staff to serve.
Police. It is estimated that the area would have 3.8 calls for service per year at current
development and 11.3 at full development.
Transportation. The reviewing staff noted that the area does not have curb, gutter,
sidewalk, and street lighting along NE Sunset Boulevard (SR900). The City does not
have plans for street improvements here, but Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) has identified the need to improve State Route 900 by
widening the road and installing curb, gutter, sidewalks, and street lighting, which would
require some acquisition of right-of-way by WSDOT. A timeline for these proposed
improvements has not been developed. The costs associated with the identified
improvements of SR 900 would be paid for by WSDOT or possibly future development.
The annexation would not require any additional transportation systems staff. Energy
costs associated with new street lighting would be incurred by the City, but should not be
a financial burden. Staff noted that the annexation represents a logical extension of their
services.
Development Services. The Development Services section did not indicate any concerns
regarding the proposed annexation and reported that no additional staff would be required
to serve the annexation area. The proposed Windstone V Annexation Area is located in a
portion of the City where it is required that physical addresses be changed to the City of
8g. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department submits 10%
Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings for the proposed
Page 131 of 238
Proposed Annexation – Windstone V
Page 4 of 5
Renton addressing system upon annexation, therefore households will have their physical
address changed when the annexation becomes effective.
8.Fiscal Impact Analysis
A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. The fiscal impact analysis that
is used for annexations considers costs on a per capita basis. The fiscal analysis indicates
that to the operating budget the proposed annexation would have an initial net positive
fiscal impact of 3,120 per year. Over a 10-year buildout period if the area developed
with an additional eight new dwelling units, it is estimated that the fiscal impact to the
operating budget would become positive at $7,480 per year. The analysis for the impact
to the capital and enterprise funds is that at current levels the area would have a
positive fiscal impact of $659. If the area fully developed to its estimated residential
capacity, over the next 10-years, the fiscal impact would be positive $5,466.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
Renton’s Comprehensive Plan annexation policies generally support this proposed
annexations. The subject site is within the City’s Potential Annexation Area and has been
subject to development pressure under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning, and
subdivision regulations (Policies LU-36 and LU-37). The area would also be available
for urbanization under Renton’s Residential Low Density land use designation. Renton is
the logical provider of most urban infrastructure and services to the area (Policy LU-38).
2.Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a.Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger
community.
b.Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The subject site is bounded on its western portion by existing City limits and
uses streets or parcel lines for the other boundaries.
c.Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of this
annexation. The Windstone V Annexation Area is in the Issaquah School
District. The school district boundaries will not change, the area will remain
in the Issaquah School District. Renton will take over police service for the
4.3-acres upon annexation; the King County Sheriff’s Department currently
provides police protection to the area. Eastside Fire currently provide
service, Renton Fire would provide service if the area annexations. Pursuant
to state law, there will be no change in the garbage service provider for at
least seven years.

Page 5 of 5
Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation does not have irregular boundaries.
e.Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and
encouragement of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand
population in heavily populated urban areas;
Not applicable. No incorporations are proposed in this area.
f.Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts here.
g.Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable.
h.Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of its
location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also indicated
that it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to these
unincorporated urban areas by turning them over to cities as quickly as
possible. Because the subject annexation site is within Renton’s PAA and not
in an area under consideration for incorporation, annexation is appropriate
at this time.
i.Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted
by the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation are rural or
designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or
Renton Comprehensive Plans.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed annexation is consistent with relevant County and City annexation policies, as well
as Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation. Reviewing staff has identified no
impediments to the provision of City services in any of the areas. It is recommended that the
annexation proponent be authorized to circulate a 60% Direct Petition to Annex.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Approval of the King Conservation District Agreement would permit the City and the Friends of the
Cedar River Watershed (FCRW) to enter into a partnership for treating and eliminating the invasive
plant Japanese knotweed along the Cedar River on City-owned and private properties. Beginning in
Spring 2012, Parks and Golf Course Division crews would treat knotweed on City property from Regis
Park to the Renton Main Library; FCRW would be responsible for treating knotweed on private
property. The FCRW would organize volunteers to plant native riparian trees and shrubs in the treated
areas at City and private properties and provide follow-up monitoring for knotweed. The project is
expected to be completed by the end of 2012.
On October 21, 2011, the King Conservation District Board (KCD) approved an $89,254 grant, the
"Landowner Collaboration for Knotweed Control on the Cedar River Project." The grant is funded with
KCD Special Assessment funds allocated to the City of Renton. The City had been working with the
Friends of the Cedar River Watershed prior to the grant seeking funding for a knotweed control program
within city limits. The KCD grant will pass-through to FCRW to cover most of their costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Agreement with King Conservation District for the Landowner Collaboration for Knotweed
Control on the Cedar River Project in the amount of $89,254 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
sign the agreement.

SUBJECT:Agreement for Award Between the King Conservation District
and the City of Renton concerning Landowner Collaboration
for Knotweed Control along the Cedar River Project
Issue:
Should the Mayor and City Clerk sign the Agreement for Award with the King
Conservation District concerning the Landowner Collaboration for Knotweed Control on
the Cedar River Project?
Background:
Japanese knotweed is a prolific invasive plant species that out-competes many native
plants in the Cedar River Watershed. It displaces desirable plants and changes the
natural ecology of the land. Community Services staff has been working with the
Friends of the Cedar River Watershed, a not-for-profit conservation organization, to
partner on a grant project to eliminate knotweed growing on the banks of the Cedar
River.
A larger project conducted by the City of Seattle to control knotweed up to the Renton
city limits was completed during 2011. A grant application for the Renton Project was
submitted to the King Conservation District Board (KCD) and approved for funding on
October 21, 2011. The KCD grant will fund $89,254; the City of Renton will contribute
$79,350 of in-kind funds, and Friends of the Cedar River Watershed $6,654 of in-kind
funds. The $89,254 grant will cover other costs of the Friends of the Cedar River
Watershed such as travel, meals for volunteers, public information and training,
contracted services, and operational costs. Twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of
the grant funds will be used by the City to purchase plants. City staff will contribute
$79,350 as in-kind funds for labor, equipment and supplies.

Volunteers will be used to bend the knotweed to the ground prior to treatment, to plant
native species in place of the knotweed, to perform monitoring, and to re-treat
knotweed that returns following initial treatment. Upon project completion, knotweed
would be well-controlled from approximately Cedar Falls near North Bend, WA (part of
the previous City of Seattle project) down to the Renton Main Library. Planning for the
Renton Project begins January of 2012 with Community Services Staff and Friends of the
Cedar River Watershed. Field work begins in late Spring 2012 with planting in late Fall of
2012.
A separate agreement for services will be executed between the City of Renton and the
Friends of the Cedar River Watershed in January of 2012. That agreement will define
the provisions the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed will provide for the Project.
Staff Recommendation:
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Agreement for Award with the King

SUBJECT:Lease Amendment Five with King County METRO
Issue:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign Lease Amendment Five
with King County METRO (METRO) for 200 parking spaces at the City Center Parking
Garage (CCPG)?
Recommendation:
Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign Lease Amendment Five.
Background:
·King County METRO has leased parking spaces at the CCPG since 2004.
·Lease Amendment Four (2010) provided for a fixed number of spaces, 200, for a
fixed price of $3,000.00 per month.
·The Lease expired year end 2011.
·METRO wishes to extend the terms and conditions of Lease Amendment Four for an
additional year. These included an option to lease up to an additional 50 spaces for
an amount to be negotiated if that option is exercised.
·There is sufficient additional space available. The total number of spaces available is
580 and there are 30+ monthly lease customers.
·The business points of the proposed Lease Addendum are as follows:
o The rate remains at $15 per space per month.
o Lease payments remain at $3,000.00 per month.
o The Lease Amendment term will be one year.
Conclusion:
Extending the current lease terms for an additional year provides the City with ongoing
revenue to help offset the cost of garage operation.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Administration has determined not to fill the vacant Assistant Chief Administrative Officer (ACAO)
position at this point pending the outcome of the 2013/14 budget. Many of the duties and
responsibilities of the ACAO have been assumed by staff in the Mayor’s office, but it is necessary to
transfer some duties to other departments as outlined in the attached memorandum.
One such change is to combine the Office of the City Clerk with Finance and Information Technology to
form a new Administrative Services Department under Iwen Wang, Administrative Services
Administrator. The proposal will also increase a Record Management Specialist (RMS) position in the
Office of the City Clerk from half time to full time in order to provide overall record management and
administrative support to the increasingly complex public records requests and contracted Hearing
Examiner. These changes are proposed to take effect on January 1, 2012. If approved by the City
Council, the corresponding budget adjustment for the RMS position will be incorporated in the first
quarter budget amendment of 2012.
The attached ordinance will revise the Renton Municipal Code to reflect the proposed organizational
change.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Department name change and increase of a half time to full time position and adopt the

follows:
I.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
All Project details, technical specifications, and deliverable descriptions will
appear in the Statement of Work (SOW) to be developed for inclusion in the Invitation to
Bid (ITB). Bid submittals will be reviewed, including reference checks. Any bid failing to
meet all requirements of the SOW will be rejected. All other bids will be considered
accepted and will be ranked based on price. The lowest priced, accepted bid that fully
meets all requirements of the SOW will constitute the contract between King County (as
representative of the signatories of this Agreement), and the Vendor. The primary Project
goal (Standard Deliverables) is 3-inch, 6-inch, and 12-inch resolution orthoimagery, both
natural color and near infrared, as well as stereo models, and supporting data. Project
costs are shared where Areas of Interest (AOIs) overlap, in turn reducing each Party’s
financial commitment. A secondary Project goal (Supplemental Deliverables) is ancillary
datasets such as transportation impervious, structure rooflines, other impervious surfaces,
and detailed contours derived from the Standard Deliverables. These costs will be paid
solely by those Parties providing an AOI for these products, discounted for any savings
from overlap among the AOIs.

RegionalImagery2012_Funding_20111103.docx
1.By executing Counterparts, Section XIX of this Agreement, each Party agrees
to pay its required monetary contribution, as stated on the signature page, for
all Standard and Supplemental Deliverables for its AOI.
2.The actual contribution for each Party (exclusive of grant funds) shall be
calculated once the Vendor contract price is set, using the cost allocation
model set forth below, which will include a contingency percentage to be
determined by the PSC. Cost allocation model for Standard Deliverables
(imagery and supporting data): Each Party’s funding commitment will be
factored as the cost per full 3000-ft x 3000-ft tile (Tile) that intersects its AOI,
discounting for significant areas of water. For Tiles where AOIs overlap, the
cost will be prorated equally among the affected Parties. Cost allocation model
for Supplemental Deliverables: Each Party’s commitment will be factored as
the deliverable unit cost times the area of the Party’s AOI for that deliverable.
Where AOIs overlap for the same deliverable, the cost will be prorated equally
among the affected Parties. It is the sole responsibility of any affected Party to
define the SOW requirements for its Supplemental Deliverables and to pay
full costs, if not prorated with another Party.
3.By signing this Agreement, each Party commits to paying its full contribution
to the King County Imagery Reserve Fund by 4 p.m., January 31, 2012. Any
qualifications to this commitment will be stated in Counterparts, Section XIX,
for that Party. An invoice will be generated for each Party.
4.All payments to the King County Imagery Reserve Fund shall be made by
check payable to King County Finance, and sent to King County GIS, 201 S
Jackson St, Suite 706, Seattle, WA 98104, Attn: Katy Cressey.
5.By signing this Agreement each Party is committing to license the primary
Standard Deliverables (orthoimagery and supporting data) for its AOI
resulting from this Project. Default licensing terms will apply unless
Party-specific licensing terms are included in the SOW. Each Party requiring
licensing language different than the default will provide such language for
inclusion in the SOW. In contrast, Supplemental Deliverables will be
purchased (owned outright) by each Party committing to this Agreement.
6.Except for a contingency amount, as determined by the PSC, King County
shall not collect funds in excess of the Vendor contract price unless the
contract price has been amended with a PSC-approved change order. All
funds collected by King County shall be used solely to pay the Vendor for
work completed under the Vendor contract. King County shall not collect,
receive or retain any of these funds for project management, administrative
fees, or other actions it performs under this Agreement. Should there be an
excess of funds, King County will refund any excess if greater than $10, and if
the affected Party specifically requests the refund. Any excess not refunded
shall remain in the Imagery Reserve Fund for use in subsequent regional

time all remaining funds will be refunded to the affected Parties.
7.If a Party’s contribution is made up in whole or in part of grant funds, the
Party agrees to provide King County with a copy of the contract between itself
and the grant funding agency in order to assist King County and the PSC in
complying with the requirements of any such grant. The grant contract shall
be provided as soon as possible after committing to this Agreement, and no
later than when the Party deposits its funds with King County.

and optional Supplemental Deliverables, Parties may, but are not required to,
contribute as follows:
a.Participate as a member or alternate to the PSC.

include assisting in establishing ground control, developing
specifications for Supplemental Deliverables required by the Party, and
developing QC/QA procedures for Standard and Supplemental
Deliverables required by the Party.
c.Perform all detailed QC/QA of Standard and Supplemental
Deliverables (if any) for its AOI using a TWG-defined plan and

STAFF CONTACT: Cathryn Laird, HR Manager
Brian Sandler, Senior HR Analyst
SUBJECT: Executive Summary, 2012 Reclassification Requests
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this document is to provide an executive summary of the reclassification
request process outlined in both the AFSCME collective bargaining agreement and City policy
320-05. Nine requests were submitted to HRRM by the August 1, 2011, deadline. Staff reviewed
seven of the requests and two were withdrawn.
Staff is recommending that four of the remaining requests be approved for a reclassification. If
approved, the recommended four salary adjustments accompanying the reclassifications would
be effective on January 1, 2012. The cost of implementation during FY 2012 is approximately
$16,572, excluding salary related benefits. Each department has the ability to absorb the
increased cost in its current budget allocation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Community and Economic Development
Planning Technician II (Local 2170, grade a15): The GIS Analyst classification was created earlier
this year when looking at positions in the Information Technology Division. An analysis of the
incumbent’s responsibilities shows that her duties are in line with those of the GIS Analyst I
classification and not with her current classification of Planning Tech II. It is our
recommendation that the incumbent be reclassified to the GIS Analyst I position, grade a21.

H:\CLASSIFICATION\RECLASSIFICATION\2011 Reclassifications (effec Jan 2012)\Executive Summary final_2011.doc
Finance and Information Technology Department
Accounting Supervisor (Local 2170, grade a19): As part of the 2010 budget process, the Finance
and Information Technology Department reduced the hierarchal structure of the division and
eliminated the Accounting Supervisor responsibilities. In the restructure, the incumbent was
assigned new duties and responsibilities that are in line with those of a Senior Finance Analyst.
In accordance with City Policy, the incumbent has been performing the duties for more than six
months and should be reclassified to the Senior Finance Analyst classification, grade m25.
Human Resources and Risk Management Department
Senior Benefits Analyst (Non-Represented, grade m22): In late 2010 and early 2011, the HRRM
Department went through a major organizational change. The restructuring of duties was
based on a loss of three positions over the past two years. As a result, the incumbent has
taken on new duties and responsibilities, some of which were previously performed by the
HRRM Administrator. These include ADA Coordinator for injured workers, strategic planning
for the City’s 457 plan, reorganization of the FMLA program, etc. Benefits is a major division
within the Department, and it is appropriate to staff the division with a Benefits Program
Manager. The difference between this Manager and others in the HRRM Department is the
fact that, while it supervises many programs, it does not supervise subordinates. Therefore, we
looked externally to find market value. Looking at Kent, Bellevue, Redmond and Tacoma,
analysis showed that the position should be placed at range m27.
Public Works Department
Traffic Sign and Paint Supervisor Position (Local 2170, grade a17): The Traffic Sign and Paint
Supervisor position has not been reviewed since 1993. Over the last two decades, the position
responsibilities have changed greatly, and now require the incumbent to utilize computer-aided
drafting (CAD) software and to take on many responsibilities that were previously contracted
out. Due to a significant change in duties, the job description has been updated. Internal
positions that utilize the City’s CAD system are in the Engineering Specialist series. The analysis
included comparing the position’s salary grade to that of other Public Maintenance Supervisors ,
which are at grades a21 and a23. To provide for internal equity, Human Resources staff
recommend adjusting the salary to grade a21.

ISSUE:
Should Council approve an engineering consultant agreement with RH2 Engineering,
Inc., in the amount of $169,082.93, for the design, services during bidding, and services
during construction of the improvements to provide primary disinfection to the City’s
drinking water supply from Well 8, Well 9, Well EW-3 and Springbrook Springs?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the engineering consultant agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute the contract with RH2 Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $169,082.93, for
the design, services during bidding, and services during construction of the
improvements to provide primary disinfection of the City’s drinking water supply
sources.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated the Ground Water Rule to
protect the public from pathogen contamination in public water systems that use
groundwater as their drinking water source. The rule, which became effective
December 1, 2009, requires the City of Renton to perform triggered source water
monitoring if the City detects a total coliform positive sample during routine water
quality sampling of the distribution system. If the City finds an E. coli positive sample
during triggered source water monitoring, the City must notify the public within 24
hours with this information through radio and TV announcements and issue a “boil
water notice” to its customers.
In order to avoid the triggered source water monitoring requirement and the potential
negative impact to the public confidence in the City’s water quality if we have a coliform

positive water sample in our water source, and in anticipation of future and stricter
water treatment standards, the Water Utility wants to install primary disinfection
improvements at Wells PW-8, PW-9, EW-3 and Springbrook Springs. Primary
disinfection is currently in place at Wells RW-1, 2 and 3. If the City provides primary
disinfection and performs continuous monitoring of the disinfection process, the City
will be exempt from the triggered source water monitoring requirement.
The Water Utility selected RH2 Engineering, Inc. from the approved 2012 Utility Systems
Annual Consultant Roster, to perform the design, services during bidding, and services
during construction for the project, which includes the following:
·Design a primary disinfection system for Wells PW-8 and PW-9 (combined
system).
·Design a primary disinfection system for Well EW-3.
·Design a primary disinfection system for Springbrook Springs.
·Provide technical services during bidding of the project.
·Provide technical services during construction of the project including review of
submittals, responses to contractors’ questions, change orders and pay submittal
reviews, and inspection services.
The Water Utility has budgeted sufficient funding in our 2012 Capital Improvement
Program budget (account #425/455405) with $200,000 in 2012 to cover the design cost
of this contract and $1,200,000 in 2012 to cover the construction cost of the
improvements anticipated in 2012-2013.
CONCLUSION:
The design and future construction of primary disinfection improvements for Wells
PW-8, PW-9, EW-3 and Springbrook Springs will provide the Water Utility with greater
leverage in complying with the federal Ground Water Rule. It will also provide a greater
degree of protection of our water supply from contamination resulting in better
protection of public health.
Council’s approval of the contract with RH2 Engineering, Inc., is needed to ensure that
the project can be designed and ready for construction in 2012 and 2013.
