Good Morning,
Please have the Hearing Examiner dismiss Mr. Faraj’s appeal as untimely.
Renton Municipal Code (“RMC”) Section 1-3-2E2b requires an appellant to file and serve an appeal
of a finding of violation “within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Finding of Violation” and RMC
1-3-2E2a requires the filing of the appeal within 15 days of the date of “issuance” of the Finding of
Valuation, and
Construing the “issuance” date from RMC 1-3-2E2b as three days after mailing as set by Superior
Court Civil Rule 6e for deadlines based upon mailed documents, the filing deadline for the Finding of
Violation mailed on July 15, 2021, was August 2, 2021. (August 1st would be the actual date but it is
a Sunday)
Mr. Faraj’s appeal was sent on August 6, 2021, per the USPS post mark on the envelope. This is four
days over the appeal period timeline.
The appeal was received at city hall on August 10, 2021.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Donna Locher
