Subject:RE: TracFone v. City of Renton - KCSC No. 21-2-08552-7 KNT -- Question for Tracfone
Date:Wednesday, July 07, 2021 1:26:00 PM
RMC 5-26-19 provides that the “the decision of the hearing examiner is final subject to review by
either party under the provisions of RCW 7.16.040 … within twenty (20) days of the date of issuance
of the hearing examiner’s decision.” Consistent with the code’s exclusion of final decisions from the
list of decisions subject to reconsideration, the ordinance does not toll the time to appeal.
Consequently, TracFone has already filed its appeal of the final decision by filing and serving a
petition for writ of review under Ch. 7.16 RCW as required by ordinance. There is nothing further to
consider.
Moreover, as discussed in TracFone’s opposition to the City’s motion for reconsideration, even if
reconsideration were permitted, it is limited to the record before the Hearing Examiner, which
record reflects that the City reviewed and agreed with the calculations on which the final decision
was based. Not only did the City’s motion improperly present new evidence outside the record , but
its reply was not limited to TracFone’s response raising new arguments. The final decision has been
entered and appealed, it is time for the parties to move to the next stage.

Question for Tracfone -- If I rule that there is a right of reconsideration to the Final Decision of this
appeal, does Tracfone want an opportunity to contest Renton's assertion of error?
