Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 7-12-1965
COMMUNICATIONS: (cont.)
A letter was read from City Attorney Shellan reporting regarding Petition
for vacation of alley adjoining Tracts 2 and 3, Sem nd ; upplemental Plat of Renton
Shorelands, that a letter from Mr. M. E. Bowler, Supervisor, Civil Engineering
Division, Dept. of Natural Resources advised that it will not be necessary in
this case to enter into the State vacation procedure but •that the City may proceed
through its regular vacation procedure, by reason of the Shorelands Plat. If found ;_
to be in the best interest of the public any vacation ordinance will need to be i
furnished to the State.
Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the Law and
Ordinance Committee for a date for hearing.
Moved by Trimm, seconded by Perry, to amend the motion to add the date of
August 16, 1965 for the hearing. The amendment to the motion carried and subse-
quently the original motion as amended. Carried.
A letter read from the Housing and Home Finance Agency, L. R. Durkee, Director
for Northwest Operations, reported determination upon review of Mayor Custer's letter,
that there is no similarity in the design between the library facility planned with
the $11,200 advance and the facility now being constructed and that little if any,
of the original planning was of value in the re-design. Accordingly necessary steps
Were being taken to relieve the City of the liability for repayment of the advance.
Councilman Schellert expressed thanks to the Mayor for pursuance of this matter
and Mayor Custer advised that this was official notification that the debt is now
cancelled.
A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported that pursuant to, various telephone
conversations with the attorney for the Boeing Company the Boeing Board of Directors
has approved purchase in the ,amount of $55,000.00,as previously approved by the Council,
of the Renton Sewage Treatment Plant site. The City Attorney advised that the necessary
instrument of conveyance and Ordinance are now being prepared.
A letter from Mr. Charles F. Shane advised of interest in purchasing the sewage
treatment plant site and requested that the disposition of the site be handled by
sale at public auction which he feels is a method fair to all persons interested and
which, as a result of competitive bidding,will realize the highest price for the City.
A bid of $75,000.00 was submitted and a Cashier's Check in the sum of $2,500.00 was
attached as a good faith deposit, balance of $72,500.00 to be paid within ten days
of notice of acceptance of this offer. The City shall have the right to remove shrubs
fencing and equipment within a reasonable time. The law firm of Dobson, Houser and
Dobson, had been retained to represent Mr. Shane and Mr. Dobson was present in the
audience.
Councilman Garrett inquired of City Attorney Shellan as to course of action the
Council might follow. City Attorney Shellan advised that the City has the right or
option under the law, whenever it has declared property to be surplus, to either
negotiate a sale or advertise for bids. In this particular case the City Council,
sometime in April, voted this property to be surplus and no longer needed for public
use and authorized it to be disposed of on the appraised terms. The City had
negotiated with Boeing and morally both parties have committed themselves to the
sale. Legally the sale is not consumated until the instrument of conveyance is properly
executed. Now the City has received a tentative offer by Charles Shane for $75,000
which is higher than the City appraisal. The Council has several options it may con-
sider. 1. It, has the right to defer any action on the matter. An ordinance has
now been prepared on the sale but the Council does have the right to defer. 2. The
Council has the right, if it so desires, to request Mr. Shane to secure a letter of
credit from the bank to show that they are holding a sum of money for him to apply on
the purchase. 3. In considering which route to take the Council may consider what
the property is going to be used for and what effect it will have on the city generally
aside from the difference in money. In other words the Council should consider whether
Boeing Company will make a more beneficial contribution to the City in general and
support it better taxwise and on the other hand whether Mr. Shane wishes to use it for
industrial purposes, for investment or possible resale and make a decision accordingly
in the manner it feels is of over all benefit and best for the city. The Council ;._ay
negotiate and does not have to call for bids. The property may also be leased with
economic return and renegotiating the lease every five years or so. It is up to the
Council to decide which way it wants to go.
Councilman Perry inquired of Mr. Dobson whether he knew the purpose for which Mr.
Shane intended to use the property. Mr. Dobson replied that he did not know but that
the good faith deposit evidenced Mr. Shanes interest in the property and it was felt
that the City should realize as much money as possible and if the Boeing offer for less
is to be considered the people should know that Boeing is being subsidized.

Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting June 28, 1965
,COMMUNICATIONS:(cont.)
A letter from City Attorney Shellan reported on Petition to vacate alley
ad-oining Tracts 2 and 3, Second Supplemental Plat of Renton Shorelands, that the
plat filed with the Commissioner of Public Lands on May 10, 1963, stated in the
certification that the streets shown thereon were dedicated to the public forever
and for all purposes not inconsistent with the use thereof for public highway pur-
., poses. It was therefore assumed from the foregoing language that any vacation would
' terminate the use of said right-of-way for a highway purpose and a reversion would
undoubtedly occur to the State unless the State is willing to release and waive such
I/ reversion. It was suggested that no hearing date be set on the matter and the J
Attorneys will write to the Commissioner of Public Lands in Olympia inquiring whether'
the State would release its reversionary interest so that the vacation petition could
\ be processed.
Letters read from the Mayor and City Engineer,submitted ' an Agreement between
the State Highway Commission and the City of Renton concerning the North Renton Inter-
change. Basic changes were made regarding financial participation of the City in
Part II, paragraph (b) which states that"The City shall pay to the State at the time
of the contract award, a sum of $400,000 less the amount the City has actually expended
in acquiring the rights of way. . . .", to satisfaction of the Mayor and City Engineer.
A second change indicates that the State will design the bridge which is an
integral part of the western approach to the Interchange. It was recommended, subject
to final approval by the City Attorney,that the Council authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the City.
Moved by Hulse, seconded by Poll, to concur in the recommendations of the Mayor
and City Engineer. Carried.
A letter from Mayor Custer submitted Quit Claim Deed from the Pacific Coast
Railway Company conveying unto the City an easement for street, utility and related
purposes concerning dedication of a portion of Houser Way from 4th Avenue North to
8th Avenue North. It was recommended that acceptance of the Deed be withheld pending
removal by Puget Power Com. of two poles from the roadway and the City Engineer has
questioned the condition of the asphalt paving in the area.
Moved by Trimm, seconded Poll., to concur with the recommendations of the Mayor.
The motion carried.
A letter from City Engineer Wilson by Assistant Engineer Del Bennett, reported
on a referral of letter of intent to annex property in vicinity of South 180th Street
and Springbrook Road, that a real estate transaction is in process and upon completion ,
further report will be made as to validity of the letter. (UGN Property)
A letter from Richard Haag Associates, Landscape Architects, requested the
Council to consider their interest in providing professional services in regard to
landscape development of the new library site. , -
Moved by Pedersen, seconded by Perry, to refer t enLibrary Board and Architects.
The motion carried.
A letter read from Jack Wilson, City Engineer requested authorization to call
for bids for installation of storm sewers in Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 3rd Avenue
and 2nd Avenue from Main Street East to the Cedar River, and in Mill Street from Fire
Station North to 2nd Avenue. July 19th was suggested for opening of the bids.
Moved by Morris, seconded by Hulse, to concur in the recommendations of the
City Engineer. Carried.
A letter from Chuck Jensen, Chairman, Renton Jr. Chamber of Commerce, Donkey
Baseball game extended invitation to the Mayor and Council to attend the game on
Tuesday, June 29th at 7:30 p.m. in the Renton High School Stadium. Mayor Custer
was requested to lead the Flag Salute at opening of the game.
A letter from Mr. Orrin Madison advised of destruction of 20 trees of cherries
by birds and expressed his displeasure at not being able to destroy them inasmuch as
City Ordinance prohibits noise and firearm discharge. Mr. Madison requested to
withdraw his properties from the City.
Moved by Garrett, seconded by Perry, that the City Clerk advise Mr. Madison
that upon proper application the City will consider his request. Carried.

Re: Petition to vacate alley adjoining

Gentlemen and Mrs. Dahlquist:
You requested an opinion as to whether the City of Renton can vacate a
portion of the above described alley. The City Engineer has furnished '
us with the plat entitled "Second Supplemental. Maps of Renton Shorelands"
which was filed with the Commissioner of Public Lands on May 10, 1963.
• According to the certification on the plat the streets shown thereon were
dedicated to the public forever and "for all purposes not inconsistent '
with the use thereof for public highway purposes". We would therefore - :
assume from the foregoing language that any vacation would terminate
the use of said right of way for a highway purpose and a reversion un-
doubtedly would occur to the- State unless the State is willing to release,
and waive such reversion. •
• Inci.dentally;..we; should mention that we gave you the same opinion in • -
writing under date of October 22, 1964 when some property owners sought
to vacate a portion of the right of way located between Second and Third
Avenues. We would therefore . suggest that no hearing date be set ` in, ttis
matter.
However, we shall write to the Commissioner of Public Lands in Olympia
• explaining the;. situation and inquiring whether the State would release
its reversionary interest. so that the vacation petition could be processed.
If you have any further questions in this matter, please lot: us know. , .
We remain

Honorable Donald W;Custer, Mayor
Members of the City Council
Re:. Petition to Vacate Alley adjoining Tracts 2 and 3
Second Supplemental Plat of Renton Shorelands
Gentlemen:
The petition to vacate alley adjoining Tract 2 and 3, Second
Supplemental Plat of Renton Shorelands was signed by 100% of the
owners of property abutting on said alley.
Since this alley was platted by the State and turned over to
the City of Renton, it is felt that if the City does not want this
property or decides to vacate said property it then reverts back
to the State. The State will then probably offer to sell the prop-
erty to the abutting property owners; however there should be a
legal opinion from the City Attorney.
Very truly yours,
Wilson
City Engineer

A letter from M. C. Walls, Fire Chief recalled transfer of funds made late in
19'64 from the Firemen's Pension Fund into the General Fund in the sum of $4,103.00 which
constituted reimbursement for salaries of firemen during service-connected disability
periods in 1964. The money was excess revenue not included in the estimate of available
surplus in the budget and the transfer date did not allow enough time to submit extimates
and requests for expenditure of the funds. Concurrence in transfer of revenue into
Fire Department 2200 account 606, Capital Outlay, $3,500.00 and 417, Maintenance and
Operation, $500.00 was requested which money would be used to replace worn out furniture

be replaced in any event and will require funding. The pending motion carried with one
no vote which was cast by Dahlquist.
Moved by Schellert, seconded by Delaurenti, that the two previous items be referred
to the Law and Ordinance Committee for proper Resolutions. Carried. Dahlquist voted no.
