AGENDA ITEM #6. a)
November 18, 2019 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
PUBLIC HEARING
a) Designating Parcel No. 7227802041 as Public Alley: This being the date set and proper
notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law
opened the public hearing to consider designating Parcel No. 7227802041 as a public alley.
Current Planning Manager Vanessa Dolbee reported the parcel is bounded by NE 16th St. to
the north, Jefferson Ave NE to the east, NE 12th St. to the south, and Index Ave NE to the
west. She noted that the alleyway is about 85% gravel and 15% unimproved, and the width
ranges between 14 feet and 88 feet with the average width just over 16 feet. Ms. Dolbee
reported that abutting property owners use the alleyway for rear vehicular access to their
properties, and noted that one lot has no access other than the alleyway parcel.
Concluding, Ms. Dolbee reviewed the parcel’s history, and noted that the parcel was
identified as an alley and green connection in the Sunset Area Community Plan adopted in
2011. She reported that the staff recommendation is for Council to formally memorialize this
public use area as a public alley via the adoption of a resolution. She noted this would allow
the City to eventually bring it up to current alley standards and allow future developments
that abut the parcel to be alley accessed.
Public comment was invited.
Howard McOmber, Renton, expressed support for the public alley designation.
Amir Fakharzadeh, Kent, noted he owned rental properties in the area and also
expressed support for the public alley designation.

not have to fund the full list as recommended by the LTAC and can choose to make
awards in the recommended amounts to all, some, or none of the candidates on this
list.
The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met on September 30, 2019, to approve and set a
timeline for the 2020 Lodging Tax application process. Applications were due on
October 25, 2019, and 16 applications were received.
The Committee heard presentations from qualified applicants on November 7, 2019,
and conducted a debriefing following the interviews to finalize its recommendations.
The Committee has elected to establish set aside funds in the amount of $22,500 to
support community events hosted by non-profit entities with limited budgets that will
help support the potential growth of activities/events in the future. All sponsorship
recipients will feature the Renton marketing logo and web address (visitrentonwa.com).
The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee recommends Renton City Council approve 2020
expenditures from the Lodging Tax Fund as follows:
Renton Chamber of Commerce, Operation of Visitor Center operations: $150,000

These expenditures are recommended at a level less than anticipated in the 2019-2020
Renton City Budget as adopted by Council.

finds their recommendations are consistent with the goals of the City’s Business Plan
and Economic Development Strategic Plan.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City is updating its 2011 Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan. The 2011 Plan established a 20-year
vision for Renton’s park system and identified the community’s priorities. In the past eight years, the City has
worked with partners to build new features like the Meadow Crest Playground and the bridge at Riverview
Park, make key land acquisitions, and explore new neighborhood-focused programming. Since 2011, Renton
has grown to be more diverse and dynamic than ever. The updated Plan will: carry forward the community’s
vision; re-evaluate needs and priorities; gauge interest in existing events and programs; and identify
partnership opportunities.
The Plan Update kicked off in January 2019 and will conclude in early 2020, to ensure that the City meets the
deadline required by the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office to be eligible for grant funding over
the next six years. The plan has been guided by staff, partners, and community members, including the City’s
Inclusion Task Force. The Plan provides a framework to guide the city in establishing priorities, making
decisions and funding improvements, and operations. The city strives to update the Plan approximately every
six years.
Staff anticipates the draft will be finalized in the near term and would like to present the draft to the public for
additional comment at a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The Administration is recommending
that a work program to complete this work be initiated.

Parks Planning and Natural Resources staff identified six consulting firms from the MRSC
(Municipal Research and Services Center) Professional Consultant Roster that met the
project qualifications to provide professional design and construction administrative
support for parks and recreational facilities. From the initial list of six qualified firms,
three firms were invited for an interview. Hough Beck & Baird, Inc. was selected to enter
into negotiations based upon their innovative design solutions, understanding of the
scope, team coordination and response, similar project experience, and previous
experience with the City of Renton.
Total consultant costs to complete the work identified in the Scope of Services is
$392,828.67 and includes design through construction contract administration . The
project will be funded from bond proceeds in the Capital Improvement Program Fund.
Currently, $1,436,957.70 is available in 316.332058.020.594.76.63.000.
CONCLUSION:
The site improvements to Philip Arnold Park is an investment into one of Renton’s
greatest assets, a jewel in the Renton Park system. As the park has reached an age of
over 50 years, major maintenance improvements are required to continue to retain this
asset and meet the public’s changing needs. Approval of the consultant agreement with
Hough Beck & Baird, Inc. moves the City forward in fulfilling the needs to maintain
quality recreational and park facilities. Once approved, design for the improvements
will occur throughout 2020, with construction anticipated to occur mid-2021 through
mid-2022.

RE: Philip Arnold Park: Scope & Fee
Renton, Washington
Dear Alan:
Hough Beck & Baird Inc. (HBB) is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare design and
construction documents for Philip Arnold Park. Attached is Exhibit 1 illustrating the scoped area for
the project. We are confident that our office, with the support of PND, Harbor Power (HPe), BRH,
and ZipperGeo can provide the professional services required to make design renovations at Philip
Arnold Park a success.
The proposed park improvements and design considerations include:
Site demolition including the existing community/restroom building, play area, tire swing, and
gazebo structure.
Rough and final grading.
Cap sanitary sewer and water lines that have been abandoned.
Adjust and revise stormwater drainage for final build out including for parking, subsurface
drainage for play area, and stormwater flow control and quality improvements to meet current
stormwater code requirements.
The internal pathway system throughout the park will meet ADA standards, provide “loop”
connections/options, and extend to the tennis courts in the south.
Parking lot improvements at the main parking lot area and the auxiliary parking lot. These
improvements will not include parking lot lighting.
One ‘Portland Loo’ will be installed with water, sewer, and electrical connections.
Potentially an off-the-shelf, pedestrian bridge structure to span the “valley/swale” to provide
accessible access from the auxiliary parking lot to the main park elements.
Design of a playground area (ages 2 to 5 and ages 6 to12) that provides a unique play
experience not found at other playgrounds in the City of Renton park system.
Picnic pad areas along the walkways that are ADA accessible and include picnic tables, litter
receptacles, and benches.
Two gazebos will be provided. A “south gazebo” will replace the existing gazebo located to the
northwest of the ballfield and will be generally located in the same area. A “north gazebo” will be
integrated into the future playground area.
Parent plaza will be designed adjacent to the playground areas and integrate with the location of
the Portland Loo and the north gazebo.
Gazebos will be off-the-shelf structures with roofs and columns that may have custom elements,
such as rock masonry plinths at the base of columns or something similar in scale.
The basketball court will be renovated to repair cracks in the surfacing coat, replace the posts
and post footings, and provide new backboards and nets.
The topography around the basketball court will be designed as a park amenity in the form of
terraced structures/amphitheater type seating, integrated and connected with the park walkway
system.

Attention: Mr. Dean Koonts, ASLA, Principal
Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services
Proposed Philip Arnold Park Improvements
Renton, Washington
Dear Dean:
Zipper Geo Associates, LLC (ZGA) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal for providing
geotechnical engineering services for the above-referenced project. This proposal outlines our
understanding and assumptions about the project, as well as our proposed scope of services and
associated fee. Our proposal is based on information provided by you in an email dated 18 September
2019, our site observations and preliminary records review, and our familiarity with other projects of a
similar nature.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The project site is the existing public Philip Arnold Park located at 720 Jones Avenue South. The park is a
triangular 10-acre parcel that includes extensive lawn, a baseball/softball field, picnic facilities, and asphalt
paved parking. The park includes underground storm sewer, water, and electrical utilities. The park includes
both level and undulating topography. According to City of Renton mapping, the site is classified as a
moderate coal mine hazard area and contains some small isolated areas that meet the criteria for regulated
steep slopes and landslide hazards. Ground surface elevations range from approximately 434 feet at the
southeast, 399 feet at the southwest, and 372 feet at the north. Published geologic mapping indicates that
the site is likely mantled by Vashon lodgement glacial till soils at the north and granular recessional outwash
soils at the south. The site is underlain at depth by sedimentary bedrock which has been historically mined
for coal.
We understand that proposed park improvements under consideration include removal of the existing
community/restroom building; parking and walkway improvements which will include new asphalt,
concrete, and pervious pavements; a simple pedestrian bridge; a Portland loo; updating the stormwater
management facilities to meet current standards; a new gazebo structure and refurbishment of the existing
gazebo; and some grading changes. We anticipate that stormwater management will rely on guidance in
the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (Manual) which has been adopted by the City.

You have requested that we provide a scope of services and fee estimate for completing a geotechnical
engineering evaluation of the site. Our proposed scope of services and fee estimate are summarized
below.
SCOPE OF DESIGN PHASE GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
Document Review
We propose to review readily available geologic and hydrogeologic reports and maps, including
documentation regarding historic coal mining, as part of efforts toward characterizing soil and
groundwater conditions at the site and vicinity.
Subsurface Exploration
We propose to evaluate subsurface conditions by completing exploratory test pits and borings. Test pits
are advantageous in that they are relatively inexpensive and allow direct visual observation of subsurface
conditions. Up to five (5) test pits will be completed at the locations of proposed park improvements
using a rubber-tracked excavator by a local contractor working under subcontract to ZGA. The test pits
will be observed and logged by an engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer from our office.
Disturbed, but representative, soil samples (including topsoil) will be collected and returned to our office
for further observation, classification, and testing. We will evaluate soil characteristics such as unconfined
compression and direct shear values using a pocket penetrometer and torvane, for example, as soil
conditions allow.
Following completion of the excavation and logging, each test pit will be backfilled and the soil will be
tamped with the excavator bucket. We will place the sod back on top of the backfill as neatly as feasible,
although it will be clear that disturbance of the turf has occurred at the test pit locations. Also, some
settlement of the backfill over time should be expected. Our proposed scope of services does not include
landscaping restoration beyond the efforts described herein. We have allotted a full working day for the
test pits (which will include setting up for the infiltration tests described subsequently).
We also propose to evaluate subsurface conditions by advancing four (4) borings at critical site
improvements such as the pedestrian bridge, the Portland loo, and at each of the two gazebos. The
borings will be advanced using a compact rubber-tracked drill rig employing hollow stem auger drilling
techniques. The borings will be advanced to a depth sufficient to characterize the soils to the degree
necessary to allow development of foundation recommendations for specific structures, and we
anticipate that the borings will be on the order of 10 to 20 feet deep, although the actual depths may vary
from this estimate. The borings will be completed by a local drilling company working under subcontract
to ZGA. Disturbed, but representative, soil samples will be obtained on a 2.5-foot to 5-foot depth intervals
in general accordance with the Standard Penetration Test method (ASTM D 1586). Soil cuttings will be
removed from the site.

Proposal P19303
6 November 2019
19019 36th Avenue West, Suite E Lynnwood, WA 98036 (425) 582-9928
Page 3
The borings will be advanced under the direction and observation of an engineering geologist or a
geotechnical engineer from our firm. Our representative will log the subsurface conditions, collect
representative samples, and place them in moisture-tight containers for return to our laboratory. The
borings will be backfilled per Washington Department of Ecology requirements upon completion of
drilling and sampling.
Please note that the while the drill rig proposed for advancing the borings is equipped with rubber tracks,
some disturbance of the turf is likely, particularly during wet weather or following irrigation. We will place
plywood around the boring work areas to reduce turf impacts, but please note that it will be clear that
some disturbance of the turf has occurred at the boring locations Our proposed scope of services does
not include landscape restoration beyond the efforts described herein.
Field Infiltration Testing
In order to evaluate the geotechnical feasibility of stormwater infiltration, we propose to complete field
infiltration tests at up to three (3) proposed infiltration feature locations. We propose to complete the
tests in general accordance with the procedures for the Small-scale Pilot Infiltration Test (PIT) described
in Reference 6A Infiltration Test Methods of the Manual. In general, the testing is expected to include:
• Excavation to the anticipated subgrade depth of the proposed stormwater facility (expected to
be no deeper than 3 feet) in association with the test pit exploration described above. We will
establish a testing surface of approximately 12 square feet in the excavations.
• Pre-soaking the soil for a minimum of 6 hours with water sourced from the park’s irrigation
system.
• Recording the time required for a 6-inch water depth in the pits to infiltrate into the subgrade
following the pre-soak period. We anticipate that this process may be completed up to three
times in order to establish a falling head infiltration rate, depending on soil type and observed
infiltration rates.
• Excavating below the test subgrade following completion of the testing in order to document
subsurface conditions, including characterizing low permeability soil horizons that may have
limited infiltration during the testing.
• Backfilling the excavations following completion of the testing.
Please note that completion of the infiltration tests will result in obvious disturbance of the park turf. Our
proposed scope of services does not include landscape restoration. We have allotted two working days
for completion of the field infiltration tests.

Underground Utility Locating
We will contact the public Utility Location Service prior to completing the field explorations in order to
have documented underground utilities and the landscaping irrigation located. By acceptance of this
proposal, HBB Landscape Architecture and the City of Renton acknowledge that there is some risk of
damage to unlocated buried utilities and landscaping irrigation as a result of the excavations associated
with the field exploration and field testing procedures, and that our firm will not be held responsible for
damage to unlocated utilities, the site property, or adjoining property in the event that an unlocated
underground utility or irrigation system component is damaged as a result of the subsurface exploration
or field testing. We request that a City representative provide us with any utility and irrigation system as-
built drawings, if available, prior to the field exploration. Our scope of services also includes time for a
private utility locator to visit the site in an attempt to locate conductible underground utilities.
Laboratory Testing
Laboratory testing is proposed to include mechanical grain size analyses and moisture content
determinations of samples retrieved from the borings and test pits. We will also complete up to five
cation exchange capacity (CEC) and organic content tests of potential receptor soils retrieved from the
infiltration test locations in order to evaluate the soils’ potential to provide a treatment function in
association with the stormwater infiltration elements.
Analysis and Report Preparation
Following completion of the field exploration, field testing, and laboratory testing, we will complete our
analysis and prepare a draft written report in pdf format that includes:
• A site plan showing the approximate exploration and infiltration test locations and pertinent site
features.
• Descriptive logs of the explorations.
• Laboratory testing results.
• A description of surface and subsurface conditions.
• Conclusions regarding the nature of geologic hazards regulated under Title IV of the Renton Municipal
Code.
• A discussion of the geotechnical feasibility of the project as proposed.
• Seismic design criteria (IBC code design).

• Recommendations for site preparation, including stripping and subgrade preparation, and temporary
drainage and erosion control recommendations.
• Structural fill placement and compaction recommendations, including a discussion regarding the
feasibility of utilizing on-site soil as structural fill.
• Recommendations for permanent cut and fill slopes.
• Shallow foundation design recommendations, including allowable bearing pressures, minimum
footing depths and widths, allowable base friction, and estimated settlements.
• Luminaire foundation recommendations.
• Recommendations for conventional cast-in-place retaining walls including lateral earth pressures,
allowable bearing pressures, base friction, seismic surcharge loads, and backfill.
• Concrete slab-on-grade subgrade recommendations.
• Subsurface drainage recommendations.
• A discussion regarding the feasibility of stormwater infiltration, including a summary of the field
infiltration testing, the observed unfactored infiltration rates, and our recommendations for design
infiltration rates.
• Recommendations for conventional porous flexible and rigid pavements. Please note that our
pavement section recommendations will be based upon published correlations between soil type and
pavement support characteristics; our proposed scope of services does not include completing
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests of site soils.
• Recommendations for further study, if warranted.
We will prepare a final written report in pdf format following receipt of draft report review comments.
Post-report Consultation
We have included eight hours of time for post-report consultation with the design team.

AGENDA ITEM #6. f)
AB - 2494
City Council Regular Meeting - 25 Nov 2019
SUBJECT/TITLE: 2020 State Legislative Agenda; Federal and Regional Priorities
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Executive Department
STAFF CONTACT: Preeti Shridhar, Deputy Public Affairs Administrator
EXT.: x6569
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
None
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Prior to each state legislative session, the City Council considers documents that summarize the city's position
on current state, regional and federal issues. The 2020 State Legislative Agenda and 2020 Regional-Federal
Legislative Agenda serve as guidance for city staff as it works with legislators to achieve city goals.
EXHIBITS:
A. 2020 State Legislative Agenda
B. 2020 Regional-Federal Legislative Agenda
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the 2020 State Legislative Agenda and 2020 Regional-Federal Legislative Agenda as proposed.
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Address Public Safety – Fund Critical Needs
Basic Law Enforcement Academy: Renton strongly supports
reducing the statutory wait time for training newly hired law
enforcement officers from six months to two months and will
continue to explore ways to enhance training funds for law
enforcement under Initiative 940.
The city will work to ensure that the SCORE Jail facility receives
a fair reimbursement rate from the Department of Corrections.
Enhance Quality of Life
2020 Supplemental Capital Budget request: Renton has
a time-sensitive need to ensure a new home is established
for a feeding program and cold-weather shelter that are
currently housed within the Renton Airport, but are going to
be displaced since that is a non-conforming use. The city is
seeking state capital funding assistance to acquire a site on
Rainier Avenue that can house the feeding and severe weather
shelter.
Affordable Housing—adjusted timeline for SHB 1406:
Renton strongly supports SHB 1406, which represents a
$500 million+ commitment over the next 20 years through
state sales tax credits that may be used for the construction
and rehabilitation of affordable housing units.
However, Renton will join the City of Kirkland in seeking a
2020 amendment to the SHB 1406 statute that makes the
timelines for a “qualifying local tax” more reasonable and
better ensures a robust voter turnout. The refinement
to statute would allow the ‘qualifying local tax’ to be
presented to voters on the November 2020 General
Election ballot.
Promote Fiscal Stability
Renton will continue to work with local partners to ensure
that “state-shared revenues” and other key state program
funding for cities and counties are preserved.
Renton will also actively work with area lawmakers
on legislative and administrative steps to address cyber-
security —both in terms of preventing hacks and viruses and
responding to them rapidly if they do occur.
Invest in Transportation
Preserve “Fix the Worst First” investments in Connect
Washington as Initiative 976-related cuts are made:
Voters have approved Initiative 976 on the 2019 General
Election ballot and legislators may need to make up to $500
million in immediate transportation funding cuts. Renton
respectfully asks that those reductions be achieved in a way
that protects the most time-sensitive and ‘fix the worst first’
investments on the state system. Specifically, Interstate 405
Renton-to-Bellevue investments should go forward as planned.
Local Funding Options for Cities: Renton will actively work
with the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) and other
local partners on 2020 legislation to add funding options for
cities—on the heels of a Joint Transportation Committee (JTC)
study that showed a $2 billion maintenance and operations
funding gap for municipalities across Washington State.
New revenue package/North 8th Direct Access Ramp:
The Legislature is likely to continue discussions on a
new revenue package and to further refine proposals
that surfaced during the 2019 Session. Renton strongly
supports a new revenue package for transportation,
and particularly will seek to ensure that
construction funding is included for the North
8th Direct Access Ramp on I-405. The 405 tolling
authorization bill adopted in 2019 included
$20 million to finance design and right-of-way
costs associated with North 8th and the
Legislature directed that additional funding
be secured for its ultimate construction.
KEY PRIORITIES AT A GLANCE
CITY OF RENTON 2020 Legislative Agenda
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Budget and Fiscal Matters
B&O Tax Authority: Local authority for cities that impose a B&O
tax should be preserved. The city will oppose efforts to undercut
local authority.
Marijuana Revenue Distributions: The Legislature should
adhere to previous agreements to take city and county
marijuana excise tax distributions from $30 million to $40
million a biennium. Renton will support any 2020 effort along
those lines.
Criminal Justice/Public Safety/Fire/Courts
Drug and Property Seizure and Forfeiture Laws: Renton will
join the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs
(WASPC), AWC, and others in opposing efforts to weaken
these laws.
Courts of Limited Jurisdiction Case Management System
Upgrades: Renton will support legislative efforts to add needed
funds for Municipal and District Court upgrades.
Use of “Facial Recognition” Technology by Local Law
Enforcement: Renton understands and appreciates the
necessity of rules and regulations for use of ‘facial recognition’
in our society, but would oppose legislation that undermines
the ability of local law enforcement to use this important tool
for criminal-investigative and crime-solving purposes such as
missing persons cases.
Economic Development/Infrastructure/
Affordable Housing/Homelessness
Tax-Increment Financing/Local Revitalization Financing:
Renton will strongly support 2020 legislation to establish a
robust “TIF” program in Washington State law—or at the very
least, to re-establish funding for the LRF program. The city will
also work to ensure that TIF/LRF legislation allows brownfield site
restoration as an eligible use.
Public Works Assistance Account: Renton supports efforts
to rebuild the PWAA and recapture funding streams previously
diverted into the Education Legacy Account.
Affordable Housing: Renton will support efforts to add more
tools and resources for addressing the affordable housing crisis
in our state.
Homelessness “Bill of Rights”: Renton is a city that believes
in treating those experiencing homelessness with compassion
and understanding. However, the city opposes legislation that
is over-reaching and could subject law enforcement officers to
‘harassment’ charges simply for contacting individuals or helping
them find appropriate services, treatment, or other assistance.
Funding and tools to perform seismic retrofits on historic
buildings: Renton is prepared to support legislative efforts and
proposals on this front.
City of Renton
2020 Legislative Agenda
Support/Oppose and Track/Monitor Issues
Land Use/Growth Management Act (GMA)
Update timelines for GMA, Shoreline, Critical Area Plans:
Renton strongly supports legislative initiatives to put the update
schedules on a 10-year cycle so that they are in sync with the
10-year census population updates.
Local authority over how to add Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs): Renton is a major proponent of adding ADUs into local
communities. However, the city opposes legislation that would
mandate specific development standards and regulations. Such
decisions are best left to elected officials at the local level.
Local Government in General
Updates to the “No-Dig Law”: Renton is participating in a 2019
interim task force to build consensus around needed changes
and updates to the “No-Dig Law” and is prepared to support
legislation coming forward in 2020.
Parks and Recreation/Arts and Culture
Local funding options for parks and recreation agencies:
Renton will support legislation that provides new funding
options for parks and recreation agencies run by cities, counties,
Metropolitan Park Districts, and Park Districts.
Cultural Access Authorities: Renton will support 2020
legislation to make changes in the Cultural Access laws so
that King County is under the same requirements as all
other counties.
Personnel, Pensions, Other Human Resources
Issues
Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) for PERS 1 Retirees:
Renton is very supportive of the men and women who are in
the Public Employees’ Retirement System Plan 1 (PERS 1) and
seek COLAs to offset a 2011 freeze to their pension contributions.
However, the city joins AWC in opposing legislation that would
require employers and employee groups across all PERS systems
to pay higher pension-contribution rates to achieve the PERS 1
COLA. The city joins AWC in hoping the Legislature looks at more
targeted ways of achieving PERS 1 COLAs.
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
2020 CITY OF RENTON
Regional & Federal
Affairs Agenda
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Transportation/Transit
KING COUNTY METRO: Renton will actively seek needed
funding and prioritization for enhanced transit service,
particularly through the “Metro Connects,” the regional
mobility framework, and transit-equity processes underway.
SOUND TRANSIT: Renton will actively seek to ensure that
Interstate 405 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stays fully funded
and on a 2024 delivery schedule. The City also will look to
expedite a study of Light Rail Transit extension options into
the City. Renton will also seek to ensure a City elected official
fills the next Eastside Subarea seat that comes open on the
Sound Transit Board.
PUGET SOUND REGIONAL COUNCIL: Renton will take
an active role in pursuing PSRC federal pass-through funding
that is made available within the region.
EASTSIDE RAIL CORRIDOR (“EASTRAIL”): Renton will
work to ensure that funding and right-of-way easements are
put in place to ensure Eastrail extends to the area including
Southport, The Landing, and Boeing-Renton (including Cedar
River and future Lake-to-Sound trail connections). Renton also
will work hard to include and find funding for missing links
such as the one between 44th Street and Ripley Lane.
PILOT WATER TAXI SERVICE: Renton will work closely
with SECO Development, King County, and other parties to
ensure that pilot water-taxi service planned for Renton-to-
South Lake Union as early as 2021 includes an achievable
plan for transferring riders from the Southport stop to other
locations via public transit and other non-single-occupancy-
vehicle options.
Affordable Housing/Homelessness
SUNSET AREA: Renton will partner with the Renton
Housing Authority, the South King Housing and
Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP), and other community
partners to put significant investment into quality affordable
housing projects and to enhance funding where possible,
including evaluating the potential of a Renton Housing Levy
in 2020.
HOMELESS SHELTERS, FEEDING PROGRAM: The City
will continue with a strategy of facilitating efforts that allow
non-profit and faith-based organizations to supplement
existing shelter space for the homeless. Additionally, the City
will work to find a permanent site for the feeding program
and cold-weather shelter services that are being displaced
from the old Chamber Building within the Renton Airport.
Parks, Trails, Youth Services, and Open Space
FAMILY FIRST COMMUNITY CENTER: Renton will
continue to explore all possible funding options to close
a remaining $4.78 million gap in needed capital to begin
construction of the FFCC sometime in 2020.
COUNTYWIDE PARKS LEVY: Renton will work to ensure
that investments included within the successful August 2019
levy are implemented —and will also pursue grant funding
through programs such as the “Penny for Pools” component
of the levy.
EASTSIDE RAIL CORRIDOR (“EASTRAIL”):
See above under “Transportation/Transit.”
Flood Control
PROJECT NEEDS: Renton will continue to pursue future
funds through the Flood Control Zone District (FCZD) for
next-phase projects identified in the Cedar River Capital
Investment Strategy, Renton Levee Certification, the
Lower Cedar River Feasibility Study, and Lower Cedar River
Maintenance Dredging. Additionally, the City will work with
area County Councilmembers to ensure the expenditure
of planned funding for the Black River Pump Station
replacement project, which would result in significant flood-
prevention benefits to South Renton.
REGIONAL AFFAIRS AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM #6. g)
Public Safety–including Mental Health
Services
REGIONAL INITIATIVES, TASK FORCES, ETC: Renton
will be a regular and active participant in regional efforts
involving mental health, drug enforcement, intervention to
address opioid addiction, gang prevention, natural disaster
response, and more.
Human Services
POTENTIAL FUNDING: The City will work closely with
non-profit organizations, faith-based entities, and others
to pursue human services funding that benefits the Renton
community, including ways to access Veterans, Seniors
& Human Services Levy, Best Starts for Kids, and other
available funding streams.
Arts and Culture
BUILD 4CULTURE: Renton will establish an inventory
of projects throughout the community to ensure that the
City’s arts and cultural organizations are regularly and
assertively seeking funds through Build 4Culture and other
available pots of funding.
Solid Waste
RENTON TRANSFER STATION: In the updated King
County Solid Waste Management Plan, Renton will seek
to ensure that other transfer stations being built for East
King County serve as the major location for regional
waste disposal, and that the Renton Transfer Station be
maintained only for more locally based disposal needs.
FEDERAL AFFAIRS
AGENDA
TRANSPORTATION/TRANSIT: Renton will seek to
ensure that the next update to the Federal Transportation
Act includes needed increases in funding for Washington
State —and that Congress preserves funding streams for
public transit providers and for Sound Transit, including
Federal Full Funding Agreements (FFAs).
RENTON AIRPORT: Renton will work to access Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) funds for Renton Airport
infrastructure needs —and will seek FEMA Pre-Disaster
Mitigation funds for a new air traffic control tower.
Additionally, the City strongly supports federal actions to
better ensure that “by-contract” air traffic control towers
are adequately funded and can hire and retain well-
trained controllers.
SUNSET AREA TRANSFORMATION: Renton will work
closely with the Renton Housing Authority and other
community partners to evaluate —and pursue where
appropriate —federal funding opportunities to enhance
the stock of quality affordable housing in the Sunset Area.
FAMILY FIRST COMMUNITY CENTER: Renton will
actively pursue federal sources of funding to help with
both short-term capital costs and long-term operating
costs of the FFCC.
QUENDALL TERMINALS: Renton will work with its
Congressional Delegation and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency to ensure that the cleanup plan for
the 23-acre Quendall Terminals site stays on track so
that a “Record of Decision” can be issued and potential
redevelopment proposals can occur.
GRANT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES: Renton will work
with its congressional delegation, community partners,
and other local and regional agencies to consistently seek
out and evaluate potential federal grant opportunities
that could be value-added for the City.

The Agency shall provide all the work, labor, materials, and services necessary to perform the project which is described and set
forth in detail in the “Project Description” and “Type of Work.”
When the State acts for and on behalf of the Agency, the State shall be deemed an agent of the Agency and shall perform the
services described and indicated in “Type of Work” on the face of this agreement, in accordance with plans and specifications as
proposed by the Agency and approved by the State and the Federal Highway Administration.
When the State acts for the Agency but is not subject to the right of control by the Agency, the State shall have the right to perform
the work subject to the ordinary procedures of the State and Federal Highway Administration.
II. Delegation of Authority
The State is willing to fulfill the responsibilities to the Federal Government by the administration of this project. The Agency agrees
that the State shall have the full authority to carry out this administration. The State shall review, process, and approve documents
required for federal aid reimbursement in accordance with federal requirements. If the State advertises and awards the contract, the
State will further act for the Agency in all matters concerning the project as requested by the Agency. If the Local Agency advertises and
awards the project, the State shall review the work to ensure conformity with the approved plans and specifications.
III. Project Administration
Certain types of work and services shall be provided by the State on this project as requested by the Agency and described in the
Type of Work above. In addition, the State will furnish qualified personnel for the supervision and inspection of the work in progress. On
Local Agency advertised and awarded projects, the supervision and inspection shall be limited to ensuring all work is in conformance
with approved plans, specifications, and federal aid requirements. The salary of such engineer or other supervisor and all other salaries
and costs incurred by State forces upon the project will be considered a cost thereof. All costs related to this project incurred by
employees of the State in the customary manner on highway payrolls and vouchers shall be charged as costs of the project.
IV. Availability of Records
All project records in support of all costs incurred and actual expenditures kept by the Agency are to be maintained in accordance
with local government accounting procedures prescribed by the Washington State Auditor’s Office, the U.S. Department of
Transportation, and the Washington State Department of Transportation. The records shall be open to inspection by the State and
Federal Government at all reasonable times and shall be retained and made available for such inspection for a period of not less than
three years from the final payment of any federal aid funds to the Agency. Copies of said records shall be furnished to the State and/or
Federal Government upon request.
V. Compliance with Provisions
The Agency shall not incur any federal aid participation costs on any classification of work on this project until authorized in writing
by the State for each classification. The classifications of work for projects are:
1. Preliminary engineering.
2. Right of way acquisition.
3. Project construction.
Once written authorization is given, the Agency agrees to show continuous progress through monthly billings. Failure to show
continuous progress may result the Agency’s project becoming inactive, as described in 23 CFR 630, and subject to de-obligation of
federal aid funds and/or agreement closure.
If right of way acquisition, or actual construction of the road for which preliminary engineering is undertaken is not started by the
close of the tenth fiscal year following the fiscal year in which preliminary engineering phase was authorized, the Agency will repay to
the State the sum or sums of federal funds paid to the Agency under the terms of this agreement (see Section IX).
If actual construction of the road for which right of way has been purchased is not started by the close of the tenth fiscal year
following the fiscal year in which the right of way phase was authorized, the Agency will repay to the State the sum or sums of federal
funds paid to the Agency under the terms of this agreement (see Section IX).
AGENDA ITEM #6. h)
DOT Form 140-039 Page 3
Revised 03/2019
The Agency agrees that all stages of construction necessary to provide the initially planned complete facility within the limits of this
project will conform to at least the minimum values set by approved statewide design standards applicable to this class of highways,
even though such additional work is financed without federal aid participation.
The Agency agrees that on federal aid highway construction projects, the current federal aid regulations which apply to liquidated
damages relative to the basis of federal participation in the project cost shall be applicable in the event the contractor fails to complete
the contract within the contract time.
VI. Payment and Partial Reimbursement
The total cost of the project, including all review and engineering costs and other expenses of the State, is to be paid by the Agency
and by the Federal Government. Federal funding shall be in accordance with the Federal Transportation Act, as amended, 2 CFR Part
200. The State shall not be ultimately responsible for any of the costs of the project. The Agency shall be ultimately responsible for all
costs associated with the project which are not reimbursed by the Federal Government. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed as
a promise by the State as to the amount or nature of federal participation in this project.
The Agency shall bill the state for federal aid project costs incurred in conformity with applicable federal and state laws. The agency
shall minimize the time elapsed between receipt of federal aid funds and subsequent payment of incurred costs. Expenditures by the
Local Agency for maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead shall not be eligible for federal participation
unless a current indirect cost plan has been prepared in accordance with the regulations outlined in 2 CFR Part 200 - Uniform Admin
Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and retained for audit.
The State will pay for State incurred costs on the project. Following payment, the State shall bill the Federal Government for
reimbursement of those costs eligible for federal participation to the extent that such costs are attributable and properly allocable to
this project. The State shall bill the Agency for that portion of State costs which were not reimbursed by the Federal Government (see
Section IX).
1. Project Construction Costs
Project construction financing will be accomplished by one of the three methods as indicated in this agreement.
Method A – The Agency will place with the State, within (20) days after the execution of the construction contract, an advance in the
amount of the Agency’s share of the total construction cost based on the contract award. The State will notify the Agency of the exact
amount to be deposited with the State. The State will pay all costs incurred under the contract upon presentation of progress billings
from the contractor. Following such payments, the State will submit a billing to the Federal Government for the federal aid participation
share of the cost. When the project is substantially completed and final actual costs of the project can be determined, the State will
present the Agency with a final billing showing the amount due the State or the amount due the Agency. This billing will be cleared by
either a payment from the Agency to the State or by a refund from the State to the Agency.
Method B – The Agency’s share of the total construction cost as shown on the face of this agreement shall be withheld from its
monthly fuel tax allotments. The face of this agreement establishes the months in which the withholding shall take place and the exact
amount to be withheld each month. The extent of withholding will be confirmed by letter from the State at the time of contract award.
Upon receipt of progress billings from the contractor, the State will submit such billings to the Federal Government for payment of its
participating portion of such billings.
Method C – The Agency may submit vouchers to the State in the format prescribed by the State, in duplicate, not more than once
per month for those costs eligible for Federal participation to the extent that such costs are directly attributable and properly allocable
to this project. Expenditures by the Local Agency for maintenance, general administration, supervision, and other overhead shall not be
eligible for Federal participation unless claimed under a previously approved indirect cost plan.
The State shall reimburse the Agency for the Federal share of eligible project costs up to the amount shown on the face of this
agreement. At the time of audit, the Agency will provide documentation of all costs incurred on the project. The State shall bill the
Agency for all costs incurred by the State relative to the project. The State shall also bill the Agency for the federal funds paid by the
State to the Agency for project costs which are subsequently determined to be ineligible for federal participation (see Section IX).
VII. Audit of Federal Consultant Contracts
The Agency, if services of a consultant are required, shall be responsible for audit of the consultant’s records to determine eligible
federal aid costs on the project. The report of said audit shall be in the Agency’s files and made available to the State and the Federal
Government.
An audit shall be conducted by the WSDOT Internal Audit Office in accordance with generally accepted governmental auditing
standards as issued by the United States General Accounting Office by the Comptroller General of the United States; WSDOT Manual
M 27-50, Consultant Authorization, Selection, and Agreement Administration; memoranda of understanding between WSDOT and
FHWA; and 2 CFR Part 200.501 - Audit Requirements.
If upon audit it is found that overpayment or participation of federal money in ineligible items of cost has occurred, the Agency shall
reimburse the State for the amount of such overpayment or excess participation (see Section IX).
VIII. Single Audit Act
The Agency, as a subrecipient of federal funds, shall adhere to the federal regulations outlined in 2 CFR Part 200.501 as well as all
applicable federal and state statutes and regulations. A subrecipient who expends $750,000 or more in federal awards from all sources
during a given fiscal year shall have a single or program-specific audit performed for that year in accordance with the provisions of 2
CFR Part 200.501. Upon conclusion of the audit, the Agency shall be responsible for ensuring that a copy of the report is transmitted
promptly to the State.

IX. Payment of Billing
The Agency agrees that if payment or arrangement for payment of any of the State’s billing relative to the project (e.g., State force
work, project cancellation, overpayment, cost ineligible for federal participation, etc.) is not made to the State within 45 days after
the Agency has been billed, the State shall effect reimbursement of the total sum due from the regular monthly fuel tax allotments to
the Agency from the Motor Vehicle Fund. No additional Federal project funding will be approved until full payment is received unless
otherwise directed by the Director, Local Programs.
Project Agreement End Date - This date is based on your projects Period of Performance (2 CFR Part 200.309).
Any costs incurred after the Project Agreement End Date are NOT eligible for federal reimbursement. All eligible costs incurred prior
to the Project Agreement End Date must be submitted for reimbursement within 60 days after the Project Agreement End Date or they
become ineligible for federal reimbursement.
X. Traffic Control, Signing, Marking, and Roadway Maintenance
The Agency will not permit any changes to be made in the provisions for parking regulations and traffic control on this project
without prior approval of the State and Federal Highway Administration. The Agency will not install or permit to be installed any signs,
signals, or markings not in conformance with the standards approved by the Federal Highway Administration and MUTCD. The Agency
will, at its own expense, maintain the improvement covered by this agreement.
XI. Indemnity
The Agency shall hold the Federal Government and the State harmless from and shall process and defend at its own expense
all claims, demands, or suits, whether at law or equity brought against the Agency, State, or Federal Government, arising from the
Agency’s execution, performance, or failure to perform any of the provisions of this agreement, or of any other agreement or contract
connected with this agreement, or arising by reason of the participation of the State or Federal Government in the project, PROVIDED,
nothing herein shall require the Agency to reimburse the State or the Federal Government for damages arising out of bodily injury to
persons or damage to property caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Federal Government or the State.
XII. Nondiscrimination Provision
No liability shall attach to the State or Federal Government except as expressly provided herein.
The Agency shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any USDOT-
assisted contract and/or agreement or in the administration of its DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The Agency
shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of
USDOT-assisted contracts and agreements. The WSDOT’s DBE program, as required by 49 CFR Part 26 and as approved by USDOT,
is incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of this program is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms
shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the Agency of its failure to carry out its approved program, the
Department may impose sanctions as provided for under Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under
18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S. C. 3801 et seq.).
The Agency hereby agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work, or modification
thereof, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Secretary of Labor in 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is paid for in whole or in part with
funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the Federal Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan,
insurance, or guarantee or understanding pursuant to any federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee,
the required contract provisions for Federal-Aid Contracts (FHWA 1273), located in Chapter 44 of the Local Agency Guidelines.
The Agency further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment
practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, that if the applicant so participating is a State or Local
Government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality, or subdivision of such government
which does not participate in work on or under the contract.

XIII. Liquidated Damages
The Agency hereby agrees that the liquidated damages provisions of 23 CFR Part 635, Subpart 127, as supplemented, relative to
the amount of Federal participation in the project cost, shall be applicable in the event the contractor fails to complete the contract within
the contract time. Failure to include liquidated damages provision will not relieve the Agency from reduction of federal participation in
accordance with this paragraph.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Project Acceptance: CAG-17-174 with Laser Underground &
Earthworks, Inc. for the Renton Hill Utility Replacement Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Utility Systems Division
STAFF CONTACT: John Hobson, Civil Engineer III
EXT.: 7279
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
The original contract amount was $5,048,703.20 and the final amount is $7,058,246.62. An increase of
$2,009,543.42 is due to additional sewer main replacement, construction conflicts with unknown utilities
during pipeline replacement and overlaying or rebuilding all streets within the project area which were
originally scheduled for completion during the 2019 and/or 2020 overlay project. The con tract was fully
funded through the Water, Wastewater, and Surface Water utilities’ Capital Improvement Program budgets
for the Renton Hill Utility Replacement Project (425.455170, 426.465475, 427.475509). There is sufficient
funding in the budgets to cover the project costs.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Renton Hill Utility Replacement Project contract was awarded to Laser Underground &
Earthworks, Inc. November 20, 2017. The contractor began construction December 14, 2017 and
completed construction September 30, 2019.
The original intent of this contract was to replace and/or install storm sewers, sanitary sewers and
water mains within the streets of the Renton Hill neighborhood with the resulting utility trenches
receiving permanent asphalt patches.Following this utility replacement project, all affected streets
would be overlayed as part of the Transportation Systems Division’s 2020 overlay program.The three
utilities (storm, sewer and water) would contribute funds toward the overlay project to cover the
cost of overlaying the streets that were impacted by this utility project.
Following the utility installations on Cedar Avenue South (the first road to undergo construction), it
became clear that attempting to install so many permanent trench patches and then waiting a year
for the overlay project would not result in the best possible restoration product.Therefore, the Utility
Systems Division decided to completely remove and rebuild Cedar Avenue South under Change
Order No. 1.The excellent finished product that was achieved on Cedar Avenue South convinced the
Utility Systems Division that removing and rebuilding most of the roadways and overlaying the
remaining areas would result in a better final road restoration product.An additional benefit of
having the roads completely restored as part of this utility project would be the elimination of a third
summer of construction in the neighborhood.
Change Order No. 5 was executed to allow the removal and rebuilding of most of the remaining
roads.Change order No. 5 also provided for the overlay of portions of Grant Avenue South that,
although did not undergo any utility replacement, was scheduled be part of the Transportation
AGENDA ITEM #6. i)
Division’s upcoming overlay project.The Transportation Division contributed $187,586.00 t o Change
Order No. 5 to cover these costs.Change Order No. 6 was created to cover the costs of removing and
rebuilding that portion of South 7th Street between Cedar Avenue South and Renton Avenue South
which had to be done using concrete rather than aspha lt due to the steep grade.
Of the $2,009,543.42 increase over the original contract amount, $1,448,881.10 was entirely related
to final road restoration (change orders 1, 5 & 6). All three of the road restoration change orders (1,
5 & 6) were approved by the City Council.
Under the original plan, the total road restoration costs for the Utility Systems Division would be a
combination of permanent asphalt trench patching ($609,000.00, included in this contract) plus
asphalt overlay (Utility Systems would contribute an estimated $1,062,658.00 to include this work in
Transportation Division’s 2020 Overlay Project) for an estimated total of $1,671,658.00. All road
restoration was completed as part of this project and the actual final road restoration costs i ncluded
$234,850 (asphalt trench patching) plus $1,448,881.10 (change orders 1,5 & 6) for a total of
$1,683,731.10. This resulted in a cost increase of $12,073.10 over the original estimated cost.
The completed project resulted in:
• Replacement and/or new installation of 5,278 linear feet of storm sewer.
• Replacement and/or new installation of 4,308 linear feet of sanitary sewer.
• Replacement and/or new installation of 8,893 linear feet of water mains.
• Reconstruction or overlay of approximately 90% of the roadways on historic Renton Hill.
During project construction the following change orders were issued:
• Change Order No. 1: $302,406.79 for rebuild of Cedar Avenue South (Council approved).
• Change Order No. 2: ($15,988.78) for additional work related to sanitary sewer and the
deletion of one bid item related to sanitary sewer work.
• Change Order No. 3: $98,868.00 for Department of Ecology stormwater permit monitoring
requirements.
• Change Order No. 4: $33,401.57 for additional sanitary sewer work from June 21-September
13, 2018.
• Change Order No. 5: $1,031,259.85 for rebuild or asphalt overlay of several streets (Council
approved).
• Change Order No. 6: $115,214.46 for construction of new concrete road on South 7th Street
(Council approved).
• Change Order No. 7: $45,132.24 for additional sanitary sewer work from September 14, 2018
to project end.
• Change Order No. 8: $88,923.20 for additional work related to storm sewer installation.
• Change Order No. 9: $94,275.03 for additional work related to Puget Sound Energy utility
conflicts.
• Change Order No. 10: $216,051.04 for additional work related to water main installation
(Council approved).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
SUBSECTION 4‐1‐190.G OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE, AMENDING IMPACT
FEE REGULATIONS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, new growth and development in the City create additional demand and need
for public facilities and the City has adopted impact fees in order to keep pace with such growth;
and
WHEREAS, the City charges impact fees for changes in use or tenancy that create more
impact than the previous use; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable to consider a new use in a building that has been vacant for a
long period of time as not a change of use, but as a new use that will have new impacts on the
City’s parks, transportation infrastructure, and fire facilities, for which it is reasonable to charge
impact fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the impacts of establishing a new use in a vacant
building increase over the length of vacancy such that it is reasonable to amortize any impact fee
credit over the length of vacancy; and
WHEREAS, this matter was duly referred to the Planning Commission for investigation
and study, and the matter was considered by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, on July 23, 2019, the City notified the State of

SECTION I. All portions of the Renton Municipal Code in this ordinance not shown in
strikethrough and underline edits remain in effect and unchanged.
SECTION II. Subsection 4‐1‐190.G of the Renton Municipal Code is amended as shown
below. All other provisions in 4‐9‐190 remain in effect and unchanged.
G. COLLECTION OF IMPACT FEES:
1. Transportation, Parks, and Fire Impact Fees:
a. Applicability: The City shall collect impact fees, based on the rates
in the City of Renton Fee Schedule, from any applicant seeking development
approval from the City for any development activity within the City, when such
development activity requires the issuance of a building permit or a permit for a
change in use, and creates a demand for additional public facilities.

impact fees for transportation and parks are established by the applicable Rate
Study. The rates to be charged by the City are listed in the City of Renton Fee
Schedule.
c. Fire Impact Fee Basis and Amount: The maximum allowable fees

AGENDA ITEM # 8. b)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

the RRFA, approved by its Board, and adopted by the City as part of the capital
facilities element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and as a fire impact fee Rate
Study. The rates to be charged are listed in the City of Renton Fee Schedule.
2. School Impact Fees:
a. Applicability: The City shall collect impact fees, based on the rates
in the City of Renton Fee Schedule, from all applicants seeking development
approval from the City for any residential development activity in that portion of
the City located within each respective school district’s boundaries.
b. Basis and Amount: The maximum allowable fees shall be based on
a school capital facilities plan developed by the appropriate school district and
approved by the School Board, and adopted by reference by the City as part of the
capital facilities element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The rates to be charged
are listed in the City of Renton Fee Schedule.
c. Adjustment by Council: The City Council may adjust the fees, as it
sees fit, to take into account local conditions such as, but not limited to, price
differentials throughout each respective school district in the cost of new housing,
school occupancy levels, and the percent of each school district’s capital facilities
budget, which will be expended locally.
d. Classification by Dwelling Type: Separate fees shall be calculated for
single family and multi‐family dwellings, and separate student generation rates
must be determined by each school district for each type of dwelling. For purposes

of this Section, mobile homes shall be treated as single family dwellings; duplexes
and accessory dwelling units shall be treated as multi‐family dwellings.
e. Credit for Tax Contributions: The formula in Attachment A to
Ordinance 4808 provides a credit for the anticipated tax contributions that would
be made by the development based on historical levels of voter support for bond
issues in a school district.
3. Changes in Use or Tenancy: When an impact fee applies to a change of
use permit, the impact fee shall be the applicable impact fee for the land use
category of the new use, less any impact fee previously paid for the land use
category of the prior use. If the prior use paid impact fees based on an
Independent Fee Calculation that was approved by the City, the new use shall pay
based on the new land use category, less the impact fee paid by the prior use
identified in the Independent Fee Calculation. For purposes of this provision, a
change of use should be reviewed based on the land use category provided in the
Rate Study that best captures the broader use of the property under development.
Changes in use or tenancy, if consistent with the general character of the building
or building aggregations (i.e., “industrial park,” or “specialty retail”) should not be
considered a change in use that is subject to an impact fee. Further, minor changes
in tenancies that are consistent with the general character of the included
structure, building, or previous use should not be considered changes in use
subject to an impact fee. If no impact fee was paid for the prior use, the impact
fee for the new use shall be reduced by an amount equal to the current impact

The purpose of these landscape requirements is to establish consistent and
comprehensive landscape provisions to preserve and enhance the landscape
character of the City; to improve the aesthetic quality of the built environment; to
minimize erosion and reduce the impacts of development on natural areas within
the City and on storm drainage systems and water resources in particular; to
protect existing street trees; to provide shade, reduce noise and glare, and
establish a healthier environment by producing oxygen, removing particulates
from the air and improving a sense of well‐being; to provide transitions between
various land uses; improve and soften the appearance of parking areas; to ensure
plant establishment and survival; to increase privacy and protection from visual or
physical intrusion; and to maintain, improve, and protect property values, and
generally enhance the overall image and appearance of the City and quality of life
for its citizens.
It is not the intent of these regulations that rigid and inflexible design
standards be imposed, but rather that minimum standards be set. It is expected

ORDINANCE NO. ________
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTION
4‐4‐140 OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE, ADDING TEMPORARY WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES STANDARDS, ADDING A DEFINITION OF
“WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY, TEMPORARY,” CLEANING UP
FORMATTING, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, AND ESTABLISHING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, this matter was duly referred to the Planning Commission for investigation
and study, and the matter was considered by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 36.70A.106, on May 10, 2019, the City notified the State of
Washington of its intent to adopt amendments to its development regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 19, 2019, considered
all relevant matters, and heard all parties in support or opposition, and subsequently forwarded
a recommendation to the City Council;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, DO
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. All portions of the Renton Municipal Code in this ordinance not shown in
strikethrough and underline edits remain in effect and unchanged.
SECTION II. Section 4‐4‐140 of the Renton Municipal Code is amended as follows:
4‐4‐140 WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES:
A. PURPOSE:
The purposes of this Section are to:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
2
1. Provide a variety of locations and options for wireless communication
providers while minimizing the visual impacts associated with wireless
communication facilities;
2. Encourage creative approaches in locating and designing wireless
communication facilities that blend in with the surroundings of such facilities;
3. Provide standards that comply with the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(“the Telecommunications Act”); the provisions of this Section are not intended
to and shall not be interpreted to prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting
personal wireless services as defined in the Telecommunications Act; and
4. Administer the provisions of this Section in such a manner as to not
unreasonably discriminate between providers of functionally equivalent personal
wireless services, as defined in the Telecommunications Act.
B. GOALS:
1. Commercial Wireless Facilities:
a. Encourage the location of towers in nonresidential areas and
minimize the total number of towers throughout the community;
b. Encourage the joint‐use of new and existing towers;
c. Encourage users of towers and antennas to locate them, to the
extent feasible, in areas where the visual impact on the community is significantly
minimized;
d. Encourage users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way
that minimizes the visual impact of the towers and antennas; and
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
3
e. Enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services
to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively, and efficiently.
2. Amateur Radio Antennas: The goals of this Section are to ensure the
interests of neighboring property owners are considered while reasonably
accommodating amateur radio communications so as to comply with applicable
Federal law. These regulations are not intended to preclude amateur radio
communications.
C. APPLICABILITY AND AUTHORITY:
No person shall place, construct, reconstruct or modify a wireless
communication facility within the City without an Administrator issued permit,
except as provided by this Title or chapter 5‐19 RMC, and a Building Official issued
permit. The Administrator shall have discretion to approve or deny elements of a
WCF where standards provide flexibility or subjectivity; the same discretion is
given to the Hearing Examiner for applications requiring a public hearing.
D. COLLOCATION REQUIRED:
1. Evaluation of Existing Support Structures: With the exception of
support structures to facilitate the deployment of small cell facilities, no new
support structure shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates to the
Administrator’s satisfaction that no existing tower or support structure can
accommodate the applicant’s proposed WCF. Evidence submitted to demonstrate
that an existing tower or structure cannot accommodate the applicant’s proposed
antenna may consist of any of the following:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
4
a. No existing towers or structures are located within the geographic
area required to meet the applicant’s engineering requirements.
b. Existing towers or structures are not of sufficient height to meet the
applicant’s engineering requirements.
c. Existing towers or structures do not have sufficient structural
strength to support the applicant’s proposed antenna and related equipment.
d. The applicant’s proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic
interference with the antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna
on the existing towers or structures would cause interference with the applicant’s
proposed antenna.
e. The fees, costs, or contractual provisions required by the owner in
order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing tower or
structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new tower development
are presumed to be unreasonable.
f. The applicant demonstrates that there are other limiting factors that
render existing towers and structures unsuitable.
2. Cooperation of Providers in Collocation Efforts: With the exception of
support structures deploying small cell facilities, a permittee shall cooperate with
other providers in collocating additional antennas on support structures, provided
the proposed collocators have received a building permit for such use at the site
from the City. A permittee shall exercise good faith in collocating with other
providers and sharing the permitted site, provided such shared use does not give
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
5
rise to a substantial technical level of impairment of the ability to provide the
permitted use (i.e., a significant interference in broadcast or reception capabilities
as opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden). Such good faith shall
include sharing technical information to evaluate the feasibility of collocation. In
the event a dispute arises as to whether a permittee has exercised good faith in
accommodating other users, the City may require a third‐party technical study at
the expense of either or both the applicant and permittee.
3. Reasonable Efforts: All applicants shall demonstrate reasonable efforts
in developing a collocation alternative for their proposal.
E. ALTERATION OF EXISTING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY (WCF)
SUPPORT STRUCTURES:
1. Minor Alteration: A proposed collocation and/or modification to a
lawfully existing WCF support structure that does not substantially change the
physical dimensions of the WCF shall be a minor alteration and exempt from
conditional use permit requirements. A minor alteration is an eligible facilities
request as that term is used pursuant to Section 6409(a) of the Spectrum Act and
its implementing regulations. A modification substantially changes the physical
dimensions of an eligible support structure if it meets any of the following criteria:
a. Height: For towers other than towers in the public rights‐of‐way, it
increases the height of the tower by more than ten percent (10%), or by the height
of one (1) additional antenna array with separation from the nearest existing
antenna not to exceed twenty feet (20'), whichever is greater; for other eligible
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
6
support structures, it increases the height of the structure by more than ten
percent (10%) or more than ten feet (10'), whichever is greater;
b. Width: For towers other than towers in the public rights‐of‐way, it
involves adding an appurtenance to the body of the tower that would protrude
from the edge of the tower more than twenty feet (20'), or more than the width
of the tower structure at the level of the appurtenance, whichever is greater; for
other eligible support structures, it involves adding an appurtenance to the body
of the structure that would protrude from the edge of the structure by more than
six feet (6').
c. Equipment Cabinets:
i. For any eligible support structure, it involves installation of more
than the standard number of new equipment cabinets for the technology
involved, but not to exceed four (4) cabinets; and
ii. For towers in the public rights‐of‐way and base stations, it
involves installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground if there are no
preexisting ground cabinets associated with the structure; or involves installation
of ground cabinets that are more than ten percent (10%) larger in height or overall
volume than any other ground cabinets associated with the structure;
d. Excavation: It entails any excavation or deployment outside the
current site;
e. Concealment: It would defeat the concealment elements of the
eligible support structure; or
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
7
f. Entitlement: It does not comply with conditions associated with the
siting approval of the construction or modification of the eligible support structure
or base station equipment; provided, however, that this limitation does not apply
to any modification that is noncompliant only in a manner that would not exceed
the thresholds identified in subsections E1a through d of this Section.
2. Major Alteration: Any change that is not a minor alteration is a major
alteration.
3. Original Dimensions: An increase in height and/or width of a WCF due
to a collocation and/or modification shall be measured against the dimensions of
the original support structure in cases where deployments are or will be separated
horizontally, such as on buildings’ rooftops; in other circumstances, changes in
height should be measured from the dimensions of the tower or base station,
inclusive of originally approved appurtenances and any modifications that were
approved prior to the passage of the Spectrum Act.
4. Review Time Period: Requests for minor alterations, as described in this
subsection, shall be reviewed for completeness and approval or denial within sixty
(60) days.
F. STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL TYPES OF WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES:
1. Equipment Shelters/Cabinets:
a. Location: Except for equipment related to small cell facilities and
temporary wireless communication facilities, equipment shelters and cabinets
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

used to house related equipment should be located within buildings or placed
underground, unless it is infeasible. However, in those cases where it can be
demonstrated by the applicant that the equipment cannot be located in buildings
or underground, equipment shelters or cabinets shall be screened to the
Administrator’s satisfaction.
b. Screening: Equipment shelters and cabinets for all facilities other
than small cell facilities and temporary wireless communication facilities, shall be
surrounded by a fifteen‐foot (15') wide sight‐obscuring landscape buffer along the
outside perimeter of required security fencing with a minimum height that is no
less than the height of the compound fence at any point; however, existing
topography, vegetation and other site characteristics may provide relief from the
screening requirement. The required landscaped areas shall include an automated
irrigation system, unless the applicant is able to justify an exception to this
requirement to the Administrator’s satisfaction. Related equipment facilities
located on the roof of any building need not be landscaped but shall be screened
on all sides in a manner that complements and blends with the surroundings so as
to be shielded from view. Related equipment facilities shall not be enclosed with
exposed metal surfaces. Equipment shelters and cabinets for small cell facilities
shall be concealed in accordance with subsection J of this Section.
c. Size: Except for equipment related to temporary wireless
communication facilities, Tthe applicant shall provide documentation that the size
of any equipment shelters or cabinets is the minimum necessary to meet the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
9
provider’s service needs, and meets any size requirements of this Code. The area
of the compound may be greater than is necessary in order to accommodate
future collocations, but the area reserved for future equipment shelters/cabinets
shall be the minimum necessary for the documented WCF capacity.
d. Generators: Except for temporary wireless facilities, the following
standards apply to generators powering all types of wireless communication
facilities:
i. Architectural integration is required (if applicable).
ii. To the extent feasible, generators shall be enclosed along with
the related equipment. Similar to equipment shelters, the screening for the
generator shall utilize similar building materials, colors, accents, and textures as
the primary building; if no buildings exist on site, ensure that the building is
designed to blend in with the environment.
iii. A screening wall and/or landscaping material shall be required
to mitigate visual impacts.
iv. Fences shall be constructed of materials that complement and
blend in with the surroundings.
v. Anti‐graffiti finish shall be applied to all solid fences, walls, and
gates.
vi. A noise analysis shall be required to demonstrate that the
generator will operate within allowed noise limits if the generator is the sole
power source.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

ii. Utility poles used for the siting of wireless communication
facilities other than small cells on residentially zoned private property shall be no
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
11
taller than forty‐five feet (45'), unless those poles are transmission utility poles, in
which case the proposed replacement utility pole cannot be more than twenty
feet (20') taller than the existing pole;
iii. Small cell facility deployments on existing and replacement
utility poles shall be regulated in accordance with subsection J of this Section.
3. Visual Impact: Site location and development shall preserve the pre‐
existing character of the surrounding buildings and landscape to the extent
consistent with the function of the communications equipment. Towers shall be
integrated through location and design to blend in with the existing characteristics
of the site to the extent practical. Existing on‐site vegetation shall be preserved or
improved, and disturbance of the existing topography shall be minimized, unless
such disturbance would result in less adverse visual impact to the surrounding
area. Towers, antennas and related equipment shall be uniformly painted a
nonreflective neutral color that best matches the colors within the immediately
surrounding built and natural landscape in order to reduce the contrast between
the WCF and the landscape.
4. Setbacks: Towers shall be set back from each property line by a distance
equal to the tower height, unless an engineering analysis concludes that a reduced
setback is safe for abutting properties and the Administrator determines that a
reduced setback is appropriate for the site.
5. Maximum Noise Levels: No equipment shall be operated so as to
produce noise in levels above forty‐five (45) decibels as measured from the
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

Operation of a back‐up power generator in the event of power failure or the
testing of a back‐up generator between eight o’clock (8:00) a.m. and nine o’clock
(9:00) p.m. are exempt from this standard. No testing of back‐up generators shall
occur between the hours of nine o’clock (9:00) p.m. and eight o’clock (8:00) a.m.
6. Fencing: Security fencing shall be required and shall be painted or
coated with a nonreflective neutral color. Fencing shall comply with the
requirements listed in RMC 4‐4‐040, Fences, Hedges, and Retaining Walls.
7. Lighting: Towers or antennas shall not be artificially lighted, unless
required by the FAA or other applicable authority. If lighting is required, the
Administrator may review the available lighting alternatives and approve the
design that would cause the least disturbance to the surrounding views. Security
lighting for the equipment shelters or cabinets and other on‐the‐ground ancillary
equipment is also permitted, as long as it is appropriately down shielded to keep
light within the boundaries of the compound.
8. Advertising Prohibited: No lettering, symbols, images, or trademarks
large enough to be legible to occupants of vehicular traffic on any abutting
roadway shall be placed on or affixed to any part of a WCF tower, antenna array
or antenna, other than as required by FCC regulations regarding tower registration
or other applicable law. Antenna arrays designed and approved to be located on
or within signs or billboards as a stealth tower, small cell, or a concealed or
camouflaged WCF, shall not be construed to be in violation of this prohibition.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________

9. Building Standards: Support structures shall be constructed so as to
meet or exceed the most recent Electronic Industries Association
/Telecommunications Industries Association (EIA/TIA) 222 Revision G Standard
entitled: “Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting
Structures” (or equivalent), as it may be updated or amended. Prior to issuance of
a building permit the Building Official shall be provided with an engineer’s
certification that the support structure’s design meets or exceeds those standards.
10. Radio Frequency Standards: The applicant shall ensure that the
wireless communication facility (WCF) will not cause localized interference with
the reception of area television or radio broadcasts. If the City finds that the WCF
interferes with such reception, and if such interference is not remedied within
thirty (30) calendar days, the City may revoke or modify a Building and/or
Conditional Use Permit.
G. CONCEALED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY STANDARDS:
Additions or modifications to buildings shall complement the existing design,
bulk, scale, and symmetry of the building, and minimize the addition of bulk and
clutter. Except as otherwise provided in subsection J of this Section for small cell
facilities, concealed WCFs shall adhere to the following standards:
1. Building Addition: All antennas shall be fully concealed within a
structure that is architecturally compatible with the existing building. Roof top
additions shall be concealed on all sides.
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
14
2. Related Equipment: The related equipment shall be completely
concealed inside a structure or inside an underground vault. Concrete masonry
unit (CMU) walls and prefabricated facilities do not meet the intent of a concealed
WCF. Equipment enclosures shall be designed to be compatible with the existing
building/structure.
3. Materials: Fiberglass reinforced plastic or radio frequency transparent
materials may be used to screen and integrate a WCF with an existing building.
Visible transition lines between the old and new surfaces are prohibited.
4. Architectural Elements: New architectural features such as columns,
pilasters, corbels, or other ornamentation that conceal antennas may be used if it
complements the architecture of the existing building.
5. Residential Buildings: Wireless communication facilities shall not be
located on residential buildings except for multi‐family structures constructed
pursuant to the International Building Code as an occupancy group R‐2, which may
serve as a support structure if the interior wall or ceiling immediately abutting the
facility is an unoccupied residential space (e.g., stairwells, elevator shafts,
mechanical rooms, etc.).
H. CAMOUFLAGED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY STANDARDS:
Additions or modifications to buildings shall complement the existing design,
bulk, scale, and symmetry of the building, and minimize the addition of bulk and
clutter. Except as otherwise provided in subsection J of this Section for small cell
facilities, camouflaged WCFs shall adhere to the following standards:
AGENDA ITEM # 8. e)
ORDINANCE NO. ________
15
1. Architectural Integration: Antennas may be mounted to a building if the
antennas do not interrupt the building’s architectural theme.
a. When feasible, camouflaged WCFs shall employ a symmetrical,
balanced design for all facade‐mounted antennas. For multiple deployments on
one structure, subsequent applications will be required to provide for consistent
design, architectural treatment and symmetry in placing antennas on the
structure’s exterior with any existing WCFs on the same side of the structure.
b. When feasible, interruption of architectural lines or horizontal or
vertical reveals is prohibited.
2. Materials:
a. Mounting Hardware: Utilize the smallest mounting brackets
necessary in order to provide the smallest offset from the building.
b. Concealment: Utilize skirts or shrouds on the sides and bottoms of
antennas in order to conceal mounting hardware, create a cleaner appearance,
and minimize the visual impact of the antennas. Exposed cabling is prohibited.
c. Paint: Paint and texture antennas to match the adjacent building
surfaces.
3. Antennas:
a. Antennas shall be no longer or wider than the facade on which they
are proposed.
b. When panel antennas are unscreened, they shall be mounted no
more than twelve inches (12") from the building facade.

c. No exposed mounting apparatus shall remain on a building facade
without the associated antennas.
4. Residential Buildings: Wireless communication facilities shall not be
located on residential buildings except for multi‐family structures constructed
pursuant to the International Building Code as an occupancy group R‐2, which may
serve as a support structure if the interior wall or ceiling immediately abutting the
facility is an unoccupied residential space (e.g., stairwells, elevator shafts,
mechanical rooms, etc.).
I. STEALTH TOWER STANDARDS:
The following standards for each type of stealth tower are the minimum
necessary to meet the intent of effectively disguising the tower. Standards for
types of stealth towers not identified within this subsection will be determined on
a case‐by‐case basis by the Administrator through the Conditional Use Permit
criteria pursuant to RMC 4‐9‐030E, Decision Criteria – Wireless Communication
Facilities.
1. Faux Trees:
a. Location: Faux trees shall be located within one hundred feet (100')
of existing trees, unless photo simulations show, to the Administrator’s
satisfaction, that the proposed faux tree would be appropriate for the site.

10‐11 OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE, BY ADDING A NEW SECTION 10‐11‐2

maximum speed limit of twenty miles per hour on a nonarterial highway,
or part of a nonarterial highway, that is within a residence district or
business district.
(b) A speed limit established under this subsection by a city or town does
not need to be determined on the basis of an engineering and traffic
investigation if the city or town has developed procedures regarding
establishing a maximum speed limit under this subsection. Any speed limit
established under this subsection may be canceled within one year of its
establishment, and the previous speed limit reestablished, without an

shall consult the manual on uniform traffic control devices as adopted by
the Washington state department of transportation.”
