INTENSIFICATION SHELTER
I, Nate Malone, declare as follows:

facts stated herein.
2.I am employed by the City of Renton. I serve as the Tax & Licensing Program

manage is the City’s business licensing program.

3. I am familiar with the de-intensification shelter that is operating at the site of the
former Red Lion Inn & Conference Center, at 1 South Grady Way, Washington (the “Property”).
4. No one applied for a City of Renton business license to operate the de-
intensification shelter. This includes the Downtown Emergency Service Center (“DESC”), King
County, and Renton Hotel Investors, LLC – none of them even inquired about applying for a City
of Renton business license.
5. I searched Seattle and state licensing records and discovered that DESC has
multiple state and Seattle licensed locations; however, a separate business license is still
required for business conducted in the City of Renton.
6. Renton Hotel Investors, LLC obtained a City business license for the former hotel
use as the Red Lion Inn & Conference Center. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct
copy of that business license.
7. City business licenses are non-transferable pursuant to RMC 5-5-3.A.1. Renton
Hotel Investors, LLC’s business license for the Red Lion Inn & Conference Center cannot be
transferred to a different primary operator (DESC) for a different business (de-intensification
shelter).
8. In accordance with RMC 5-5-3.E.5, the City requires all businesses engaging in
business within the City to apply for a business license before operating. And see generally
RMC 5-5-3. Registration applications are required even if the business may be exempt from
taxation or application fees.

9.Business licenses and registrations are used by the City for many purposes. One
purpose is to allow the City to know what businesses are operating within the City and to assist
in determining whether such businesses are subject to the City’s business and occupation tax.
One of the regulatory purposes of this requirement is to allow the City to check to see if the
business’ planned use of property complies with City zoning and building regulations.
Signed at ___________, Washington this ____ day of August, 2020, under penalty of
perjury under the laws of the State of Washington.
