EDNSP: Marketing Campaign
Godat, Travelers Inn General Manager, and Renton Lodging Association
member. Ms. Godat explained that Renton hotel representatives make up the
membership of the Renton Lodging Association, and they work on a number of
projects to market the hotels and the City.
Ken Saunderson and Michael Hamilton with Hamilton/Saunderson Marketing
Partnership, reported that the Renton Lodging Association's tourism
promotional program, whose 2003 budget is approximately $80,000 to
$100,000, is designed to promote Renton as a destination and to promote
economic activity. Mr. Saunderson described the marketing tools used by the
Renton Lodging Association to promote Renton, and noted that one of the goals
in 2003 is to bring in additional marketing partners such as the Spirit of
Washington Dinner Train, Maplewood Golf Course, and Valley Medical
Center. Mr. Pietsch noted that the program is funded by hotel/motel tax
collections.
Continuing, Mr. Pietsch stated that hotel/motel tax collections are also used to
fund the Renton Community Marketing Campaign, which is a consortium of the
City of Renton, Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, Valley Medical Center,
Renton Technical College, and Renton School District to collectively market
the Renton community. Mr. Saunderson and Mr. Hamilton gave a briefing on
the marketing campaign, noting that this year's theme is "delivering on the
promise." Mr. Hamilton stated that in 2003, in addition to the ongoing
marketing efforts, the campaign will market the Renton community through a
summer of events. These events include: highlighting facility openings such as
the IKEA Performing Arts Center, Pavilion Building, Renton Municipal
Parking Garage, and Renton Technical College Technology Resource Center;
the Ahead of the Curve Festival; Cinema at the Piazza Festival; and the Renton
Barbecue & Blues Festival.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Vuong, Anacortes accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
Ave NE & NE 10th St to consider the resolution authorizing an annexation election and consideration
of R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre) prezoning for
the City -initiated Vuong Annexation; an approximately 2.70 acre site located
east of Anacortes Ave. NE and north of NE loth St
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, reported that the subject area was previously
reviewed and approved by the King County Boundary Review Board prior to
the invalidation of the petition process of annexation by the State Supreme
January 27, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 32
Court in March, 2002. The City purchased 1.125 acres of the annexation site as
a future location for a surface water detention pond for the purpose of relieving
existing surface water problems in the area.
Stating that the proposed annexation area contains one single-family home, Mr.
Erickson noted that there is no new private development proposed at this time.
Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Residential Single Family,
and R-8 zoning is proposed to replace the existing King County R-6 zoning. In
regards to public services, he indicated that the subject area is within Water
District 90, within the Renton sewer service area, and that fire protection is
provided by Fire District 25; however, there is a shortfall of parks.
Mr. Erickson detailed the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation assuming
an increase to eight single-family homes at full development, and a new home
value of $250,000. The City will realize a deficit of $392 at current
development, and a deficit of $107 at full development. Reporting an estimated
one-time expense of $2,932 for the acquisition and development of parks, Mr.
Erickson pointed out that a revenue deficit at current and full development is
typical for residential annexations.
In conclusion, Mr. Erickson stated that the proposed annexation is consistent
with City policies for annexation, will further City business goals, and will
result in no significant cost or service issues for the City. He recommended
that Council adopt a resolution authorizing an annexation election, for which
the City will bear the election costs, and authorize the Administration to draft a
prezone ordinance for R-8 zoning for the subject site.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
CARRIED.
MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CORMAN,
COUNCIL ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND ARRANGING
FOR AN ANNEXATION ELECTION TO CONSIDER ANNEXING THE
VUONG SITE AND ADJACENT STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY TO THE CITY;
REQUIRE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE ANNEXATION AREA TO
ASSUME THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THE CITY'S OUTSTANDING BONDED
INDEBTEDNESS; AND SUPPORT R-8 ZONING FOR THE ANNEXATION
BECAUSE IT IS CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND
USE DESIGNATION, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY, FOR THIS AREA.
CARRIED. (See page 41 for resolution.)
Annexation: Falk, S 47th St & This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
102nd Ave SE accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
to consider the resolution authorizing an annexation election and consideration
of R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per net acre) prezoning
for the Falk Annexation; 6.43 acres bounded by S. 47th St. to the north, SE
185th Pl. to the south, and 102nd Ave. SE to the east.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, pointed out that the subject annexation was part
of a larger annexation (13.66 acres) by the same name initiated on March 4,
2002. Since the State Supreme Court invalidated the petition method of
annexation on March 14, 2002, adoption of a resolution authorizing an
annexation election is recommended. The applicant, Stephen Beck, has agreed
to reimburse the City for the cost of the election. Mr. Erickson described the
January 27, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 33
existing conditions of the site, noting the existence of four single-family
dwellings, and a seasonal stream along the eastern property line.g
Continuing, Mr. Erickson reported that the site is served by Fire District 40, is
within the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, and roadway and stormwater
improvements are likely. Stating that current King County zoning is R-1 with a
Greenbelt[Urban Separator King County Comprehensive Plan designation, he
explained that City staff successfully negotiated the removal of this area from
the urban separator designation, and as a result the City can redesignate this site
to a more intensive zoning. Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as
Residential Single Family, for which the proposed R-8 zoning is consistent with
zoning to the west of the site and compatible with King County zoning to the
east.
Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impacts of the proposed annexation, assuming
an increase to 40 single-family homes at full development, and a new home
value of $275,000. At current development the City will realize a deficit of
$347, and at full development, the City will realize a surplus of $6,556. The
one-time parks and development expense is estimated at $21,000. He reported
that the proposed annexation meets the objectives of the King County
Boundary Review Board and is generally consistent with City policies for
annexations. In conclusion, he recommended that Council: adopt a resolution
authorizing an annexation election for this site; authorize the Administration to
draft a prezone ordinance for R-8 zoning; and authorize the submittal of the
Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board.
Audience comment was invited.
Reid McNair, 18525 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, stated that he favored the
annexation; however, his property is no longer within the annexation area now
that the area has been reduced from 13.66 to 6.43 acres. Emphasizing that he
and many of his neighbors want to be annexed to the City of Renton, Mr.
McNair asked Council to consider the original annexation.
In response to Council President Keolker-Wheeler's inquiries, Mr. Erickson
explained that Mr. Beck initiated the revised Falk Annexation, and he guessed
that the boundaries were reduced because Mr. Beck felt confident that the two
registered voters living on the site would support the annexation. In the
election process, a super majority, or 60% of the citizens residing on the site
must assume the City's bonded indebtedness. He confirmed that the Council is
not bound to accept the annexation as presented.
Mayor Tanner urged Council not to take any action tonight other than on the
proposal as presented. He stated that citizens who are not included in this
annexation, and who are still interested in annexing to the City, can apply for
annexation at a later time.
Council discussion ensued regarding whether action should be delayed until the
possibility of expanding annexation boundaries is explored. It was pointed out
that Mr. Beck might not be willing to pay the election costs if the boundaries
are expanded. Upon Mr. McNair's assertion that he was willing to absorb
election costs, Mr. Erickson pointed out that action could be delayed a week for
further exploration of the matter.
January 27, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 34
Joe MacKenzie, 18533 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, and Louis Longo,
18509 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, expressed their desire to remain in King
County.
Curtis Schuster, 12320 NE 8th St., Suite 100, Bellevue, 98005, representing
KBS Development Corporation, stated that he is in the same situation as Mr.
McNair, and wants the City to consider the original annexation.
Fred Gustafson, 18439 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, stated that he resides in
the proposed annexation area and is in favor of the annexation. He expressed
his desire to be represented by the City of Renton, rather than by King County.
Judy Richardson, 18816 102nd Ave. SE, Renton, 98055, stated that although
she is not directly impacted by the proposed annexation, she wanted to point
out that the site is on a dead end and there is no other way in and out of the
property except by 102nd Ave. SE or SE 186th St. Both of those streets are in
King County; therefore, Renton's fire and police personnel must go through
King County to get to the site. Ms. Richardson also pointed out that there is a
seasonal stream on the east side of the site, and expressed concern about future
development of that stream site.
Stephen A. Beck, 19129 SE 145th St., Renton, 98055, applicant for the Falk
Annexation, expressed his fear that a larger annexation would not be
successful; and for that reason, he chose to go forward with the annexation as
proposed.
Councilman Clawson noted that it may take some time to educate the
neighboring residents about the annexation process, and recommended that
Council take action on the annexation as proposed.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER,
SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY PERSSON,
COUNCIL: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN ANNEXATION
ELECTION TO CONSIDER THE FALK AND GUSTAFSON PROPERTIES
AND ABUTTING 102ND AVE. SE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO THE CITY;
CONDITION THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ANNEXATION ON PROPERTY
OWNERS WITHIN THE ANNEXATION AREA ASSUMING THEIR FAIR
SHARE OF THE CITY'S OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS; REQUIRE
THE APPLICANT TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH HOLDING THE ELECTION; SUPPORT R-8 PREZONING FOR THE
SITE; AND AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO SUBMIT THE
NOTICE OF INTENT PACKAGE TO THE BOUNDARY REVIEW BOARD.
(See page 41 for resolution.)
Council President Keolker-Wheeler encouraged those citizens interested in
annexing to the City of Renton to contact City staff.
Planning: Downtown Core This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Off -Street Parking accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing
Requirements to consider the proposed amendments to the Downtown Core off-street parking
requirements.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the 83-acre Downtown Core area
is currently exempt from all parking requirements and parking, when imposed,
January 27, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 35
is required as mitigation through the SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act)
process. The proposed amendments are recommended for the following
reasons: SEPA imposed parking lacks predictability or standards; minimum
off-street parking standards are needed to improve predictability and to replace
parking lost to new development; and high occupancy uses generate a
disproportionate demand for parking (dance clubs, dance halls, theaters, and
churches).
Stating that the proposed new urban (city center) standards provide for greater
flexibility and protect existing buildings from becoming non -conforming uses,
Mr. Erickson pointed out that the additional parking demand can be partially
met through better management of the on -street parking supply. He reported
that upon review of other jurisdiction's parking standards, it was determined
that parking can be reduced significantly in urban centers served by good public
transit and pedestrian friendly streets. Mr. Erickson noted that smaller sized
cities with good transit and pedestrian friendly streets found lower parking
ratios adequate.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson reviewed the City Code amendments proposed for the
Downtown Core which include residential and commercial uses, and assembly
and high occupancy uses. He noted that existing commercial and residential
uses would continue to be exempt from the City's parking provisions as long as
they do not expand in size. If an existing building's use is expanded through an
addition to the building, parking is only required for that addition. Mr.
Erickson stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed City Code
amendments to Sections 4-4-080B, 4-4-080E, and 4-4-080F.10.e of the Parking,
Loading, and Driveway Regulations.
Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY
CORMAN, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CLOSE

Development Committee report.)

AUDIENCE COMMENT
John Gasser, 315 Williams Ave. N., Renton, 98055, stated that he is co-owner
Citizen Comment: Gasser —
of The Met Coffee & Wine Bar located at 232 Burnett Ave. S., and he leases
The Met Coffee & Wine Bar,
the space for his business from the building's owner, Don Dally. Prior to
Renton Transit Center
leasing space at that location, Mr. Gasser said he was under the impression that
Espresso Stand
there were no plans for other coffee or wine shops in the immediate area. He
soon discovered that another coffee shop was to operate at the Renton Transit
Center, and that it was apparently being subsidized by the City of Renton. Mr.
Gasser claimed that this was an unfair business practice, pointing out that his
business is suffering due to construction in the area and he is trying to find
ways to survive during this hard time.
Mr. Gasser reviewed his past dealings with City staff in regards to this matter,
as well as the terms of the agreement that the City has with the owner's of the
coffee shop. He asked the City to investigate the matter, including an audit of
the coffee shop, to determine if this is an unfair business practice.
Mayor Tanner confirmed that the City has a contract with the owners of the
espresso stand, and that the owners secure and maintain the public restroom
located at the transit center. Noting that the contract was entered into prior to
the opening of The Met Coffee & Wine Bar, Mayor Tanner stated that the
Administration has no intention of invalidating the contract unless they fail to
maintain the restrooms. He said that the City will request an audit of the,
concession, and continue to look into the matter.
Citizen Comment: Maple — Chris Maple, co-owner of The Met Coffee & Wine Bar, 315 Williams Ave. N.,
The Met Coffee & Wine Bar, Renton, 98055, stated that the City did not go out to bid on this project, and
Renton Transit Center pointed out that the contract is an extension of an existing contract the City has
Espresso Stand with the coffee shop owners for operating the City Scene Cafe at City Hall.
She expressed her disappointment that no one else was given an opportunity to
be considered to operate a coffee shop at the Renton Transit Center. Ms. Maple
stated that her business is suffering, and feels that one reason for this is the
competition from the purported City -subsidized coffee shop.
Mr. Gasser added that he is also concerned about future agreements for leased
space in City -owned facilities such as the Renton Municipal Parking Garage,
and commented that had he known about the coffee shop, he might have
developed a different business plan.
Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding the duration of the
contract, Community Services Administrator Jim Shepherd stated that the five-
year contract was entered into on October 1, 2001.

Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that the City recognizes the
investments Don Dally has made in the downtown area, and emphasized that
the City never intended to undermine or undercut his ability to lease space in
that area. The City intends to lease space at the Pavilion Building and the
Renton Municipal Parking Garage in accordance with market rates. He added
that the contract provides the City with a service that was needed in that area.
Councilwoman Nelson stated that there has always been a need for public
restrooms in the downtown area, and a public restroom was included as part of
January 27, 2003 Renton City Council Minutes Page 37
the construction of the transit center. She noted that the espresso stand owners
provide a public service by taking care of the restroom.
Mr. Shepherd confirmed that King County built the Renton Transit Center, and
that the Council authorized tenant improvements in the amount of $18,000 for
the espresso stand.
Citizen Comment: Johnson — Arland "Buzz" Johnson, 334 Wells Ave. S., #221, Renton, 98055, expressed his
Puget Sound Energy frustration with Puget Sound Energy in his efforts to find out if there is a plan
in place to prevent future power outages in downtown Renton. Mayor Tanner
acknowledged Mr. Johnson's concerns regarding power outages, noting that
they do occasionally occur.
In addition, Mr. Johnson extolled the benefits of living in downtown Renton,

The Committee also recommended that the ordinance regarding the proposed
amendment be presented for first reading upon its introduction. Upon passage
of the ordinance, the Committee further recommended approval for sewer
connection outside the City limits by Mr. Williams, to connect three existing
lots that are within the City's existing SAD boundary for 80th Ave. S., but
outside of its PAA.*

provided for each five additional seats provided by the new construction, or
ten spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area without fixed seats. For
all churches making structural alterations or additions, which do not
increase the seating capacity of the auditorium, see "outdoor and indoor
sports arena, auditoriums, stadiums, places of public assembly, movie
theaters, and entertainment clubs."
8. Allow parking to be provided off -site within the Downtown Core without
distance limitations.

WONG ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ANNEXATION ELECTION
& CONSIDERATION OF R-8 PREZONING
JANUARY 27TH, 2003
The City previously supported a 60% Petition to Annex for this approximately 2.73 acre site.
The subject area includes a 2.25-acre parcel, which is contiguous with the city limits on only the
westerly side and the adjacent right-of-way directly south (SE 1161h Street/NE loth Street). This
proposed annexation was reviewed and approved by the Boundary Review Board and was on the
verge of being accepted by the City when the State Supreme Court invalidated the "petition
method" of annexation last March, leaving only the "election method". The City purchased
1.125 acres of the annexation site as a future location for a surface water detention pond.
The subject area includes 1 single family home on the southeast portion of the parcel. The full
parcel size is 2.25 acres and the westerly 1.125 acres would be developed for the detention pond.
The topography slopes gradually from the east to west. No hazard areas are shown on the City's
Sensitive Areas maps.
The area is designated Residential Single Family in the Comprehensive Plan. Consistent with
the Land Use Map, R-8 zoning is proposed to supplant the existing King County R-6 Zone with
the annexation of the subject property. Council has previously reviewed and considered the
proposed prezoning to R-8 for this site. Assuming detention facilities are constructed, expected
buildout for the remainder of the site is 7 single-family homes.
The currently application is for a City sponsored annexation. The Administration is requesting
the Council authorize and annexation election for this 2.25-acre site by resolution and hold a
public hearing on the proposed R-8 zoning.
A resolution authorizing the holding of an annexation election for the subject site is before the
City Council this evening. The Council will also hold the first of two hearings on the proposed
R-8 zoning for this site if the annexation election is successful and it comes into the City.

FALK ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ANNEXATION ELECTION
& CONSIDERATION OF R-8 PREZONING
JANUARY 271", 2003
The City is in receipt of a request from two property owners in the 18000 block of 102" Avenue
SE, seeking authorization for an Annexation Election on the 6.43-acre annexation site abutting
Renton's southeastern boundary. The subject site is within the City's Potential Annexation Area
and is designated Residential Single Family on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
Because the site currently has County R-1 zoning, it is the City's intent to prezone it R-8, 8 units
per net acre, so that City zoning can be applied at the time the site comes into the City, assuming
the election is successful. The City has been in discussions with King County about changing
their land use designation along the west side of 102nd Avenue SE from Greenbelt/Urban
Separator to Urban Residential 4-12 du/acre to better reflect the existing character of this area
and King County's zoning to the east. The east side of 102nd Avenue SE is zoned R-6, 6 units
per gross acre. This is comparable to Renton's proposed R-8 zoning. Renton's R-8 zoning
would allow 41 units on the 6.43 acre annexation site versus 39 units under the County's R-6
zoning.
The annexation site appears to have reasonable boundaries. The annexation site abuts the City
on its northern and western boundaries. South 47`s Street in the City abuts the site on the north
and 102nd Avenue SE in the County on the east. The annexation area includes the portion of
102nd Avenue SE abutting it on the east. The site slopes gently to the north east and is relatively
flat. No known wetlands or other critical areas on known to the exist on the annexation site. The
site contains two parcels and three or four detached single-family dwellings. There are no parks
in the immediate vicinity. No service issues have been identified other than parks. Sewer and
water would be provided by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
A resolution authorizing the holding of an annexation election for the subject site is before the
City Council this evening. The Council will also hold the first of two hearings on the proposed
R-8 zoning for this site if the annexation election is successful and it comes into the City.

DOWNTOWN CORE PARKING CODE AMENDMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING
JANUARY 27TH, 2003
The Administration is proposing amendments to the parking requirements to address changing
conditions in the Downtown Core. This area is exempt from the City's Parking, Loading and
Driveway Regulations (4-4-080) although parking is frequently required as mitigation through the
SEPA process.
The City conducted a study of downtown parking in the summer and fall of 2001 and identified a need
for additional parking for new developments occurring in the downtown. One of the reasons for this is
that existing at grade parking lots are often the first sites to redevelop.
The proposed recommendations suggest a minimum off-street parking standard of 1 space per each
1,000 g.s.f for most new commercial uses and 1 space per new residential unit, regardless of size.
Exceptions are provided for places of public assembly such as theaters, religious institutions, dance
halls, and dance clubs. In addition, businesses with drive through windows such as banks or take-out
food uses have requirements calling for a higher number of spaces. New dance clubs and dance hall
would be required to provide 15 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet and new drive through businesses
would be required to provide 1 space per 1,000 g.s.f plus 5 stacking spaces per window or station.
Places of public assembly such theaters would be required to meet the citywide standards of 1 space
for every four fixed seats and 1 space for each 100 square feet of assembly area not containing fixed
seats. Religious institutions and similar quasi -public facilities would be required to provide 1 space for
each 5 seats in an assembly area and 1 space for each 100 square feet without fixed seats. It should be
noted that these requirements are minimums and developers are allowed to provide whatever parking
they believe desirable over these levels, as the market often requires.
In order to ensure that existing businesses in the Downtown Core remain conforming, existing
buildings continue to be exempt from the City's parking provisions as long as they do not expand in
size. Other provisions in the proposed amendments would continue to exempt required downtown
parking from the Parking Lot Design Standards that regulate stall and aisle dimensions and
landscaping. Limitations on the distance off-street parking could be provided from the use it serves
would also not apply, as long as such parking is located in the Downtown Core area (see map,
attached). Other provisions would increase the amount of off-street parking for low-income senior
housing from 1 space for 4 units to 1 space for 3 units.

CITY OF RENTON
MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 27, 2003
TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President
Members of the Renton City Council
FROM: Jesse Tanner, Mayor
Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Report
In addition to our day to -day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week:
ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND LEGAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• Mayor Tanner recently delivered the 2003 State of the City Address to members of the Greater Renton
Chamber of Commerce. In his address, he discussed the City's financial condition, and provided details about
upcoming capital projects and future economic development efforts. Check out his 2003 State of the City
presentation on the City's website, www.ci.renton.wa.us, and look for his presentation to be cablecast on Cable
Channel 21 in early February.
• The Renton River Days Board of Directors recently extended their gratitude and an appreciation plaque to
Councilmember Don Persson, who retired from the Board in December 2002, after 17 years of volunteer
service to the festival.
COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT
• The Renton Municipal Arts Commission will present a free public Meet the Artist reception for mixed -media
artist Steven Naccarato, on Friday, January 3 V, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Carco Theatre lobby prior to the
Valley Community Players show. Refreshments will be served.
• Valley Community Players presents Dial "M"for Murder at Carco Theatre, beginning Friday, January 31s` and
running through February 23rd. Tickets are available at 425-226-5190.
• The Renton community has again responded to those in need through the Renton Clothes Bank. There were
331 clients served in November. Due to overwhelming donations, further clothing donations will not be
accepted until early February. Thanks to coat donations. from a local Seattle radio station and John L. Scott
Realtors, a warm coat has been provided to every family member visiting the Clothes Bank. The Rotary Club
of Renton donated $1,000 to the shoe fund. School nurses identify children who need miscellaneous items and
the Clothes Bank takes the children shopping.
• The 2003 City of Renton Giving Tree Program administered by the Human Services Division was a
tremendous success, due to the generosity of the community and City employees. Five trees were on display at
different locations and 332 individuals each received several gifts. The Renton Area Youth and Family
Services, Communities In Schools of Renton, Renton Clothes Bank, Good Shepherd Homes, West Hill Family
Enrichment Center, and Aging and Disabilities helped identify individuals included in this program.
PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
• The new traffic signals along South 2nd Street are now in operation. These signals include a signal arm
extending over the intersections, thereby improving visibility of the signals and traffic safety.
Administrative Report
January 27, 2003
Page 2
• Tukwila staff has verbally informed us that the opening of South 180th Street/SW 43rd will occur in July
rather than May 2003. We have communicated to Tukwila the importance of opening the roadway as soon as
possible, particularly in light of the pending weekend closure of SR-167 by WSDOT in late July/early August
for the culvert project. Renton City Council Resolution No. 3561 provides for a 12-month closure (closure
began on April 15, 2002). Closure of SW 43rd beyond that date will require Council approval.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
• During the week of January 28-February 3, the Police Department will be conducting traffic emphasis in the
following areas:

City Council
The Met Coffee & Wine Bar
January 27, 2003
Repeated meeting with Sue Carlson and Dennis Culp with no results.
Copy of lease never provided.
Was told by Sue Carlson that she did not believe competition existed.
Was told by Sue Carlson that the espresso shop would be shut down for 6
mos, never happened.
We approached the deli operators to try to work with them and suggested that
they serve our beans rather than Seattle's Best Coffee to make the situation
beneficial for both of us. We were rejected.
Was told by Sue Carlson that the deli operators in City Hall (with whom the
lease is signed) wanted to get out of the lease in the City Hall Bldg., but retain
the espresso shop. They reconsidered after Sue told them to get out of that
lease would require them to get out of espresso lease as well.
City has paid for build -out of the shop, and does not charge rent, nor require
tenants to pay electric, water or garbage in exchange for keeping restrooms
clean.
There was never a public bid.
Due diligence was done on our part in questioning our landlord Don Dally
prior to signing our lease that there were no plans for other shops, and
requiring a no -compete clause in his buildings. He was never aware of the
City's plans for the espresso shop.
We feel that the city is subsidizing this business.
We feel that the espresso shop could not exist if they were required to pay rent and
utilities based on the $100.00 per day number that was given to Dennis Culp.
We are concerned that this could happen again with the parking garage across the
street from us and having retail space in which the City of Renton is the landlord.
We are asking for the City to calculate rent, water, electric and garbage in
addition to the initial investment of build out costs, and subsidize our
business on a monthly basis equal to that number. This would be
retroactive to our opening day of February 16, 2002.

Mt. Vernon, WA 98274
File No.: LUA01-025,SHPL-H
LOCATION: NE 20'h Place and Duvall Avenue NE

conditions
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on May 1, 2001.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The proposed project is located in
northeast Renton, east of Duvall Avenue NE, and north of NE Sunset Boulevard. The project is located west of
the Summerwind development. The applicant has proposed subdividing, by means of the short plat process, a
41,073.5 square foot (0.943 acre) property into six lots suitable for single family residential development. The
lot sizes are proposed at between 6,152 and 8,230 square feet. The property is currently vacant.
The project would be accessed from Duvall Avenue NE by a new public street, NE 201h Place, and a new private
road. Duvall runs north/south just west of the proposed project. NE 20th Place is currently a private driveway
that serves the abutting property and a half -acre property to the east. Lots 1, 2, 5 and 6 would have access from
the private street. Lots 3 and 4 would be accessed by a shared driveway along the southern boundary of those
lots, which would connect to the hammerhead of the new private road. A 26 foot wide easement would be
required on lots 1, 2, 5 and 6 for the private road and the hammerhead turnaround. A 20 foot wide easement for
utilities and access would be required to benefit lots 3 and 4. The private road would have a 20 foot wide drive
lane in the twenty-six foot easement and would terminate in a hammerhead turnaround that would meet
standards for emergency vehicle access. The applicant would provide a 28 foot paved drive lane, curb, gutter
and six foot sidewalks on NE 20th Place for the property frontage only within the 35 feet of dedicated public
right-of-way. On the remainder of NE 20th Place from the southwest corner of the property to Duvall, the
applicant would provide a 28 foot drive lane in a 30 foot public right-of-way. The private road would be posted,
"Fire Lane, No On -Street Parking."
The property is covered with vegetation at the present time. Sixty-four existing deciduous trees and 13
evergreens would be removed because of the necessity for putting fill on the property, but would be replaced by
landscaping when the property is developed. The property is nearly level, with the exception of the northeast
corner, which slopes up to the abutting subdivision at a grade of approximately 12 to 15 percent. This slope,
however, is not regulated under the Critical Areas Ordinance of the City. The average lot size is 6,845 square
feet. The lots range from a little over 6,000 square feet to a little over 8,000 square feet. There being no areas
subject to regulation by the City of Renton Critical Areas Ordinance on or in the vicinity of the property, this
project is exempt from environmental review and no environmental mitigation measures were placed on the
project.
Ms. Higgins reviewed the project's consistency with Plat Criteria. It is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
designation of Residential Single Family. It is particularly appropriate in meeting the objective of LU-J by
providing a subdivision of a property that would result in six new family homes. The potential increase in
transit rider ship would improve opportunities for public transportation in the area. The concentration of homes
would make more efficient use of urban services and infrastructure. The proposed density of the project would
be 7.13 dwelling units per acre, which is within the range of the R-8 Zone. This would be an infill project in an
area that has been undergoing redevelopment in recent years. It would meet the minimum density requirement
of the area and be appropriate to the lot sizes of newly subdivided properties in the area. The project complies
with lot arrangement requirements of the Street Improvement Ordinance. The lot size, shape and orientation
meet the minimum requirements of 4,500 square feet, the minimum width of 50 feet for interior lots. There are
no corner lots proposed. The radius of the corners at NE 20`h Place would be 15 feet, as required.
The proposed project would generate up to 57.4 new average weekday vehicle trips (9.57 trips per day per lot).
Duvall has recently been widened and is able to handle the additional volume of traffic. A Traffic Mitigation
Fee of $75 per each new trip would be required before recording the final short plat. The Police, Fire and
Recreation Departments have indicated they can provide service to the proposed new development. A Fire
Mitigation Fee of $488 per lot would be required prior to recording the final short plat. A Parks Mitigation Fee
of $530.76 per lot would also be required prior to the recording of the final short plat. The project is within the
Kendall Court Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-025,SHPL
May 22, 2001
Page 3
Renton School District. Approximately three children would be generated by the project. Students would
attend Sierra Heights Elementary, McKnight Middle School or Hazen High School.
The project would utilize existing storm water facilities that are located to the south in the Briar plat and
facilities at Summerwind. An advisory note to the applicant will be added to request that the technical
information report be supplemented with information that demonstrates these downstream systems are sized
adequately to accommodate additional runoff from this project. The site would be served from an existing
sewer main in Duvall Avenue NE and at the Summerwind development to the east.
Staff recommends approval of the Kendall County Short Plat, subject to the conditions outlined in the Staff
Report.
Jim Hanson, Hanson Consulting, 17446 Mallard Cove Lane, Mt. Vernon, WA 98274 stated that the applicant
agrees with the recommendation and staff conditions. Tile fill will be primarily located on Lots 2 and 6, which
have to be raised slightly in order to access the sanitary sewer on the adjacent parcel. The property drains
through an existing culvert across NE 20"' Place and goes to the south into the drainage swale being used by
Summerwind and the Briar development. The applicant is proposing to install full curb, gutter, sidewalk and
street paving abutting the applicant's property on NE 20°i Place. A 20 foot wide access road from there to
Duvall Avenue is being proposed. The City is asking that this access road be widened to 28 feet with curb. The
applicant intends to comply with whatever the Street Standards require. Trees would only be removed in the
area of the private road, the fill area, and the utility connection area between lots 2 and 6.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 clarified the issue of storm
drainage. The applicant's engineer did a good analysis of what was downstream from the site in that he located
the sizing and made that fairly clear. The only statement missing was that the system was adequate to handle
the runoff. The Duvall system is right on the edge of a drainage basin. It most likely flows south at this
location. The City has asked for verification that the downstream flows south on Duvall, not north. If it flows
north, the more stringent 1998 King County Manual standards will be used.
The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and
no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:20 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Jim Hanson, filed a request for approval of a 6-lot Short Plat.
2. The yellow file containing the staff report, the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) documentation
and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
3. The Environmental Review Committee (F,RC), the City's responsible official, determined this proposed
short plat is exempt from SEPA review.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
5. The subject site is located along NE 20th Place east of Duvall Avenue NE. The eastern property line
would correspond with Field Avenue NE if it were extended.
Kendall Cpurt Shprt Plat
File No.: LUA01-025,SHPL
May 22, 2001
Page 4
6. The subject site is approximately 0.94 acres in area. The subject site is an "L-shaped" parcel. The
subject site is approximately 302.34 feet long (east to west) by approximately 179.84 feet deep. These
dimensions include the dogleg extension.
7. The subject site is generally level, although it has a noticeable 12 to 15 percent rise in the northeast
corner of the site. The applicant proposes regrading that area as well as the entire site to create a more
level plat.
The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 3972 enacted in January 1986.
10. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 (Single Family - 8 dwelling units/acre).
11. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single family uses.
12. The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into 6 parcels. Access to the proposed parcel would be
via a hammerhead turnaround and private road and easement scheme off of NE 20th Place.
13. Proposed Lots 1 and 2 would both front on NE 20th Place with Proposed Lot 1 west of the access
roadway and Proposed Lot 2 east of it. A second tier of four lots would be north of Lots 1 and 2.
Proposed Lot 3 would be the westernmost lot and Proposed Lot 6 would be the easternmost.
14. The proposed lots would range in size from approximately 6,152 square feet to 8,230 square feet.
15. The net density of the short plat would be 7.13 dwelling units per acre.
16. In order to provide sufficient emergency access to the subject site, the applicant will be required to do
offsite improvements to NE 20th Place between Duvall and the western boundary of the subject site.
The roadway is no more than an unpaved narrow path and it would be widened to 28 feet of pavement
with curbs, gutters and sidewalk in a 30 foot public right-of-way.
17. In front of the subject site, along the site's south boundary, the applicant will have to create a 35 foot
public right-of-way with the same 28 feet of pavement, curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
18. The private road and hammerhead would be 26 feet wide with 20 feet of paving while the easement to
serve Proposed Lots 3 and 4 would be 20 feet.
19. Development of 6 single family homes will generate approximately 58 vehicle trips per day (based on
approximately 9.57 trips per dwelling). Approximately 10% of the traffic trips will occur at each of the
morning and evening peak hours.
20. The development of the subject site will generate approximately 3 school age children. These students
would be spread among the different grades.
21. Tile City will provide domestic water and sanitary sewer service.
22. The City needs more information to determine which drainage basin serves the subject site. Depending
on which basin the site is in would determine which King County Manual applies to the subject site.
Kendall Court Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-025,SHPL
May 22, 2001

23. The subject site is not located near any developed recreational parks.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed short plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The short plat, like many, is
creating an interior tier of lots that create a landlocked, though private, compound where there is no
open street setback and front yard. Instead, these interior houses all look at the rear yard and wall of
their neighbors.
2. The short plat will have an impact on emergency services, streets and parks. Therefore, in order to
provide for the public welfare, the applicant will be required to pay the fire, traffic and parks mitigation
fees that the City has established to offset those impacts.
3. For some reason, there was a bit of uncertainly about which drainage basin surrounds the subject site.
In order to make sure that the proper retention and detention methods are employed, the applicant will
be subject to meet the requirements of the Public Works Department up to and including the 1998 King
County Manual, if that is necessary.
4. The proposed plat will provide additional housing choices in an area in which urban services can
reasonably be provided. The development of the subject site will increase the tax base and should not
overly tax the City's infrastructure, particularly with the payment of the offsetting mitigation fees.
5. The applicant will be providing the needed roadway connections to this somewhat isolated parcel by
extending improvements from Duvall to the subject site, and along the subject site's south property line.
There will be the needed hammerhead for emergency access.
6. Development of the site will introduce additional noise and population.
7. The proposed density of 7.13 dwelling units per acre meets the demands of both the Comprehensive
Plan and the Zoning Code. The lots are all reasonably rectangular.
8. In conclusion, the proposed short appears to be a reasonable subdivision of land.
DECISION:
The Short Plat is approved subject to the following conditions:
1. The acquisition of the public right-of-way for NE 20th Place shall be completed and recorded as a
condition of approval of the short plat. Such recording shall take place prior to recording the short plat.
2. The applicant shall either draft and record a Homeowners' Association or a maintenance agreement for
the maintenance of all common improvements, including private storm water facilities, utility and other
easements, the private road, and other common areas. A draft of the document shall be submitted to the
City of Renton Development Services Division for review and approval by the City Attorney prior to
the recording of the final plat.
The private road, shared driveway, and hammerhead turnaround shall all be signed "Fire lane, No On -
Street Parking."
4. A Fire Mitigation Fee of $488 for each new lot will be required prior to recording the final short plat.

A Parks Mitigation Fee of $530.76 will be required for each new lot prior to recording the final short
plat.
Traffic mitigation fees of $75 per net new average daily trip will be required prior to recording the final

7. The City in its sole discretion will determine what King County Storm Water Manual applies after
determining the drainage basin that serves the subject site.

An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 110, which requires that such appeal
be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of $75.00 and meeting other specified requirements.
Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City

If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants, the
executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You
may contact this office for information on formatting covenants.
The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte (private one-on-one) communications may occur
concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in
private with any decision -maker concerning the proposal. Decision -makers in the land use process include both
the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council.
All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all
interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the
evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court.
The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as
Appeals to the City Council.

SUMMARY OFACTION:
The purpose of this agenda bill is to recommend a modification in the compensation for the management
positions of Deputy Fire Chief. This proposal, if approved, will move the Deputy Fire Chiefs into the same
salary grade as Deputy Police Chief.
The new labor agreement with Local 864 has resulted in salary increases for Fire Battalion Chiefs, which has
created salary compression with the position of Deputy Chief, (i.e. the difference in salary between the positions
is currently less than 4%). The proposal, if approved, will also result in achieving internal equity between the
Deputy Chief of the Police and Fire departments.
Effective January 1, 2003, it is recommended to place the Fire Deputy Chief position in salary grade m45 with a
monthly salary range of $7,315 - $8,913. It is recommended that current incumbents, Glen Gordon, and Arthur
Larson be placed at step E.
Funds for the proposed salary increase are available in the current budget.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) affiliate Into -Light performed a company -wide audit to establish ownership
of all street lights. PSE discovered that many of the street lights in service have never been billed.
Therefore, PSE can back bill the customer up to a maximum of three (3) years, in order to make it fair
and amicable to all rate payers within their jurisdiction. In Renton the audit found 179 street lights that
had not been billed. The amount owing is $42,682, based on the audit and concurrence by City
Transportation staff, that the number of lights and time in service is correct. The funding will come
from a non -departmental fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City pay the entire PSE street lighting back bill at one time using non -
departmental funds.

SUBJECT: PSE Back Billing for New City Street Lights
ISSUE:
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) affiliate Into -Light performed a company -wide audit to establish
ownership of all street lights. PSE discovered that many of the street lights in service have never
been billed. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) does not allow cross
subsidation of rates. Therefore, PSE can back bill the customer up to a maximum of three years in
order to make it fair and amicable to all rate payers within their jurisdiction. In Renton the audit
identified 179 street lights that have never been billed. PSE has now back billed the City in the
amount of $42,682, based on the audit and concurrence by City Transportation staff that the number
of lights and time in service is correct.
RECOMMENDATION:
Pay the entire PSE street light back bill at one time using non -departmental funds.
BACKGROUND:
On July 30, 2002 the Transportation Maintenance Shops were notified by PSE affiliate Into -Light
that they had conducted an audit of all PSE street lighting in the PSE service area. The audit
identified 155 City -owned street lights and 24 PSE owned lights that had never been billed.
Transportation Operations and Maintenance staff assessed the PSE back bill for street lights installed
in the City of Renton. The billing documents and "U maps" which show the location of each street
light in question were verified and the locations of the street lights were field checked. Areas
annexed within the last three years were checked to assess how long the City was actually responsible
for paying the lighting bill in those areas. PSE was notified and corrected the billing to reflect the
actual time those areas were under City jurisdiction. The current bill of $42,682 is accurate and has
been substantiated by the submitted information and verified by City staff.
Issue Papgr: PSE j3ack Billing for New City Street Lights
January 8, 2003
Page 2
The WUTC does not allow cross subsidation of rates. Therefore, PSE can back bill the customer up
to a maximum of three years in order to make it fair and equitable to all rate payers within their
jurisdiction.
PSE has referred to RCW 80.28.080 along with an attached letter from the Office of the Attorney
General for clarification as it relates to retroactive billing for errors. PSE also provided a copy of
Electric Tariff G, Schedule 54, which is the schedule for customer -owned flat rate street lighting.
Electric Tariff G, Schedule 54, only allows PSE to back bill for three years. Many of these street
lights were in operation for longer than three years, and some for more than six years.
In the past PSE had no specific criteria for tracking street light installation requests from installation
to billing. Consequently, street light/s would be installed by a PSE construction crew or private
contractor and energized (sometimes several months later) by a PSE serviceman when authorization
was provided by the City, or in some cases by the developer or private contractor. Because PSE had
no single department or tracking system to ensure the billing was set up, lights could by installed and
eventually energized without the billing structure ever being established. Fortunately, only a small
percentage of the lights were missed, but over the years the numbers have compounded. In the City's
case it has resulted in 179 street lights out of a total of 4,243 flat rated street lights that have never
been billed.
The PSE back bill for the 179 street lights is $42,682. PSE has stated that they would allow the
$42,682 back bill to be paid interest free over six years. After discussing the issue with the Finance
Administrator, it was suggested that it would be better to pay the bill at one time using non -
departmental funds from fund 000.000000.005.5190.0090.49.000089.
All new street lighting is now metered. This eliminates the problem of a street light/s being added to
an existing circuit. Any additional light/s added to an existing circuit simply increases the watt hour
reading of the meter and requires no notification to PSE. For new service requests Transportation
Operations and Maintenance, in conjunction with Development Services, has come to agreement with
PSE that new street light services will be energized only upon receipt of written authorization by the
Transportation Operations Manager. For their part, PSE has consolidated all street light installations
under one outside service provider, Into -Light, which they feel will eliminate the problem of internal
communication about street light installation and billing.

(Continued)
Notification of Inoperable Lights: Where the Customer has determined that a lighting system is out due to
maintenance of Company owned equipment, such as secondary service lines or fuses located in Company
owned_ vaults or handholes, the Company will restore service as soon as reasonably possible subject to the
Company's operating schedules and requirements. All repairs and maintenance work will be performed by
the Company during the regularly scheduled working hours of the Company. There will not be any credit
given for lights that are out where the Company is not responsible for the required maintenance or when the
Company is not notified of necessary maintenance that is the responsibility of the Company.
4. Hours of Service: Service under this schedule is for dusk -to -dawn lighting, or lighting service for the
average number of hours of darkness per month (approximately 4,200 hours per year).
5. Point Of Delivery: The Point Of Delivery shall be that point at which the Company's and Customer's
systems interconnect, usually at a secondary handhole or transformer.
6. Removal of Lights: The Customer shall notify the Company of all removals of Customer owned lights on a
timely basis. This notification shall include lights to be removed from the Customer's billing due to
annexation or transfer to another Customer.
7. Other Loads on Lighting System: Where unmetered lighting circuits include provisions for other or
additional usage, such as electric outlets (festoon outlets), the Company may require that service be metered
and billed under the appropriate general service schedule.
8. Audit: The Company may from time to time, at its discretion, audit the Customer's installations. In the event
discrepancies are discovered in the audited sample, the Company may audit the entire Customer system. If
the audit shows that the Customer has unduly added lights or other lighting facilities without the Company's
consent, the audit will be at the expense of the Customer and all lights and lighting facilities not included or
included at an incorrect size or type will be billed effective from the fast date of connection, if ascertainable,
or for the last 3 years, whichever is less. If the audit shows that the Customer has reduced the number of
lights or lighting facilities in use, the audit will be at the expense of the Company, and the Customer will get
a credit effective from the first date of removal from service.
9. Billing Information to Be Provided by the Company: For each type and wattage of light the Company shall
provide the total number of lights billed and the total dollar amount for the month by lamp size and type.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The contractor, B & L Utility, Inc., started construction of the project on November 7, 2002,
and completed the project on January 8, 2003. The original contract amount is $189,877.76
and the final contract amount is $195,273.03. The $5,395.27 or (3%) increase in cost is
mainly due to more trench patching than anticipated. There are sufficient funds in the Water
Utility project budget to cover this small increase in cost.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Utility Systems Division of the Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends
that the project be accepted, the final pay estimate be approved, and the retention of $8,973.94
be released after sixty (60) days, subject to receipt of all required authorizations.

Renton, WA 98055
Subject: Belated Input on Fence Code Requirements
Reference: Minutes of Renton City Council Meeting Held 6 January 2003
Renton City Council Members:
My review of pages 6 & 7 of the referenced Minutes made me wonder how in the world I
could have missed your consideration of a subject of so much interest to me. Although I was
out of the country for ten weeks beginning in September and ending in the middle of
November 2002, I read that a Public Hearing was held as long ago as early May 2002. I just
hope it is not too late for you to at least consider the points I will try to make.
I too have noticed so many solid board fences in Renton (many of them apparently new) that
are six -feet in height along front and side yards adjacent to streets that I believed were
nonconforming. While I understand the yearning for privacy, this objective often causes
home owners to overlook today's need for security. For this reason, I prefer a chain link
fence - neighbors and police have much more opportunity to observe threats to a resident's
security and, even when tall, they are neighbor friendly. A balance between privacy and
security of course can be achieved with a four -foot solid board fence or a six-foot fence with
spaces between the pickets. I feel sure that the Renton Police Department must have been
consulted and took the opportunity to contribute to code revisions.
So far as screening is concerned, I would hope that none is required for a chain link fence
or for board fences with spaces between the boards, because this would negate the security
provided by such fences. Tall solid board fences are sufficiently ugly to require screening
without security degradation. You should see the picture of the view out our kitchen window
imposed upon us by the Homeowners Declaration. The Homeowners Association first
provided incorrect definition for fence location, encouraged early construction of side yard
fences, and then refused to consider other types of side yard fences even though the
Declarations allowed such consideration.
My preference is, of course, for hard and fast rules for all requirements for anything, if it is
at all possible to define alternatives that may be applied to achieve the result intended.
Unique handling of requirements by using such things as a "Special Administrative Fence
Permit" can too easily become tools for special privilege, granted to some but not others.
They can also allow those who disregarded requirements to have pre-existing conditions
approved that others coming later cannot duplicate, which is obviously inequitable.
Ages ago, I missed the opportunity to comment on rolled curbs. Although I don't know
whether or not you approved them, I should add that they are a convenience for Contractors
during construction, but encourage sloppy driving habits that forever -after endanger
children playing on sidewalks.
Sincerely,
Sanford E. Webb

Dear Mayor Tanner, RECEIVED
CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
This letter is intended to confirm our wishes in regards to the temporary closing of
highway 167, as expressed to the representatives from the Washington State Department
of Transportation and Gary Zimmerman at the informal meeting subsequent to the
council presentation on January 13a'.
Given the fact that we distribute nearly 900,000 of our annual catalogs in the first weeks
of August starting July 29th, 2003 makes the month of August our strongest selling month
of the year and the worst possible time for such a major initrruption on the access to our
store. As you can see by the enclosed sale and visitor figures for last year the August
weekend sales and visitor counts are almost 50% higher than in July.
Our strong preference is to do this closing during any of the weekends in July and it
appears July.26 - 27 is the weekend that could work for all parties (weather permitting).
If no weekend in July would work due to the weather we would like to see if done at the
earliest weekend possible in August or postponed to mid/late September.
The worst weekends for us would be August 16 —17, August 23 — 24, or August 30 — 31,
2003.
We would appreciate anything you, the council members or the staff can do to put
pressure on the DOT to ensure it does not happen during any of the above three weekends'`"
in August.

Meeting Notes for Council Workshop 1/21/2003
The entire Renton City Council met on January 21, 2003 for a. four-hour
workshop. The Council has met annually in sessions called "Council only"
during the course of two-day retreats with City staff. This year, at the first
Committee of the Whole meeting in January, the Council decided to try a
different format. The goal was to work through some of the issues that
required a lot of discussion by the Council in advance of the Council/Staff
Retreat. This would allow time for staff to prepare responses to Council issues
for discussion at the larger group retreat and time for Council to work through
the process -oriented issues. It appears that there may have been some
misinformation being circulated about this meeting. Like all meetings of the
City Council, this meeting was open to the public and in fact attended by two
citizens, two reporters and two members of the Mayor's staff. No public
comment was taken because this was a workshop session and the intent was
for Council -only discussions.
In preparation for this workshop, the Council President compiled a list of
issues or concerns expressed by all the Councilmembers and wrote those
general topics on a flip chart. Then the Council prioritized the items for
discussion as follows:
• E-mail and other Internal Communications Issues
• Historic Issues
• Leasing Policies - Pavilion and Golf Course
• Boeing Update
• Roles and Responsibilities
• Budget
• Temporary Signage Issues
• West Hill Issues
• Channel2l
• Property Taxes and Community Marketing Campaign - quick briefing
only
Council also decided that the Business Plan would be, discussed at the
Council/ Staff Retreat.
At the end of the workshop, the Council President re -capped the afternoon's
discussion as follows and all Councilmembers agreed that the following
summary is an accurate description of each issue.
Email
Council wants all e-mails that are sent to the full Council forwarded to
Councilmembers individually as soon as they are received by the Council
Liaison or City Clerk.
Council agreed to consider recommending a new correspondence consent
agenda for e-mail similar to our current consent agenda. The agenda would
state the name of the person sending it, the general topic and a
recommendation for the disposition of the correspondence such as: info only,
refer to a specific committee, refer to administration, etc.
Council agreed that the City website should have a notice advising the public
about our new process.
Council agreed that internal processing could remain the same unless the City
Clerk and Council Liaison wish to change something for efficiency reasons.
Council agreed to look into the idea of having some type of checklists on the
website for tracking purposes.
Council agreed that we would like to explore getting new e-mail addresses that
we can access from home or work sites that would be on the City server and
would comply with the need for keeping public records.
Finally, Council agreed that there were more complexities in this issue that
needed further study and three members volunteered to continue working on
the issue. In accordance with policy 800-05, section 4.4, which authorizes the
Council President to recommend to the full Council the establishment of
special, temporary or ad hoc committees, a written recommendation will follow
this report.
Communications
Council requests agenda cover sheets be discussed at the Council/ Staff
Retreat. The concern is that the information needs to be as accurate as
possible and truly reflect the total project budget including what has already
been spent as well as what has been committed.
Council requests that the minutes of the previous week's meeting be included
in the packet that is distributed on Thursday afternoon. There will be further
discussion of this and other observations about the minutes at the
Council/ Staff retreat.
Council wants its mail to go to the Council Liaison since she is in the best
position to know whether there is something critical that an individual
member needs to know about.
Council wants to respond to its own mail and recognizes that some changes to
existing correspondence policies will be necessary to facilitate this change.
This item will also be worked on by the sub -committee referenced under e-
mail policies.
Historic Issues
There is a disconnect between the current comprehensive plan policies and
the proposed new policies and the issue must be resolved due to state
deadlines for comprehensive plan revisions. This item will be discussed at the
Council/ Staff retreat. The item is currently in Planning and Development
Committee and Committee of the Whole. The goal is to move slowly and
deliberately toward a recommended position.
Leasing
Council wants the Administration to know that our goal is to lease the Pavilion
building as soon as possible. Our leasing policy needs to be discussed and
perhaps refined with regard to this site as well as the Golf Course Restaurant.
Council requests briefing and status report at the Council/Staff retreat.
Clarity is needed.
Boeing and Explore Life
Council's intent is to negotiate moratorium issues as soon as possible and
requests that the Administration work quickly to resolve the issues so the
moratorium can be lifted.
Refer to Council/Staff retreat.
Roles and Responsibilities
Most of this discussion took place under correspondence and e-mail. The
Council wants to be cheerleaders and advocates for Renton and Renton
issues. In order to be effective, we need to know what is going on in the
community and we would like to be aware of opportunities where we can
promote Renton.
Council affirmed that the Council President should represent the Council at
all functions. If the Council President is not available, Council President Pro-
tem should be the spokesperson. If that person is not available, the next
choice is Past Council President, then Chair of the appropriate Council
Committee, then whoever is available. Council President has the authority to
designate another Councilmember if there is a special interest in the
particular issue.
Council President agreed to review all Council Policies and to recommend
necessary changes to accomplish goals of the Council. Council President also
agreed to maintain open lines of communication with the Administration and
to notify Council as needed.
Budget
Refer to Council/ Staff retreat
Temporary Signage
Council was concerned about lack of notification on temporary sign permits in
the downtown area. Since Councilmembers receive complaint calls from
citizens and businesspeople, we need to know when these administrative
decisions are made so we can have the information when we are asked.
Refer to Council/ Staff retreat
West Hill
Council discussed whether to review the issues concerning the decision to
take West Hill out of Renton's potential annexation area. Currently there are
some issues regarding sewer service that the Utilities Committee is working
on. Three of the current Councilmembers were not on the Council when these
discussions and the decision took place. In order that the full Council has the
benefit of understanding the history of policies and decisions made regarding
West Hill, the Council recommends referral of this item to Committee of the
Whole for further discussion.
Channel 21
Council is interested in tracking the experience of the Municipal Court with
their new digital recording system to see if that application would work in the
Council chambers.
Council also wants to explore the cost of clip -on microphones for presenters
and speakers and developing some guidelines to assist speakers in making
their presentations.
Council would like to explore the cost of broadcasting Planning Commission
meetings and Hearing Examiner hearings and would like to review the general
policies for the Municipal channel at the retreat or at a Committee of the
Whole meeting.
r
Property Taxes
Council is interested in having a briefing on the history of our City's property
taxes and how they are calculated in a workshop setting with the Finance
Director.
Update on Marketing Campaign
There will be a full presentation on January 27 during the regular meeting.
Refer to Council/Staff Retreat
There are several things that Council would like to communicate to the staff
and will do so in more depth during the Council/ Staff retreat. Following is a
summary of those items.
Items for Council's red file should be emergent issues only. Councilmembers
want to have time to read and understand an issue before voting on it.
Council wants to get our own a -mails and correspondence and be able to
respond to our constituents in a legal and timely manner.
Councilmembers ask questions because we are interested in knowing what's
happening, not because we have a hidden agenda.
We want to make sure we all understand how Council is supposed to interact
with staff and how to get answers to questions citizens ask us. We also want
to clarify staffs role when an item is in Committee.
We want to know about things before we read about it in the paper.
We want the earliest possible notification of meetings and special events even
if the dates and times are tentative so we can get them on our calendars.
We want to talk about the name of the new Aquatics Center.
We want to know more about the sculpture garden that was referenced in the
Municipal Arts Commission meeting minutes.

Council Member Clawson
i-ax aoo3
I'm preparing some information for you regarding commercial and residential burglaries in the Highlands,
specifically the Highlands Shopping Center. I will be making contact at the Highlands Barber Shop on
Friday to discuss the information with them, as well..
There have been a total of 4 commercial Burglaries in, and around the shopping center since October 1 st.
If there have been more, we are not aware of them. There have been a total of about 25 commercial
burglaries in all of the Highlands and Kennydale areas since October 1st. They include Renton Technical
College (4), Little Peking Restaurant, Jacks Restaurant (2), Souru Teriyaki, Nikko Teriyaki, Gourmet Wok,
CandR Custom Det., Hancock Fabric, Duvall Arco, NW Windshield, ACE Hardware, Blockbuster, Radio
Shack, Mandarin Place, Springtree condo (laundry room - 2 times), Farwest Furniture (storage
shed),Cortina Apts (laundry room).
We investigated 14 residential burglaries and 0 commercial burglaries in the Highlands (including
Kennydale) during October; 32 residential burglaries and 9 commercial burglaries in November. ( Arrest
were made that cleared most of these residential burglaries - the suspects were involved in Identity theft
and pawning stolen property at local pawn shops). We investigated 13 residential burglaries and 11
commercial burglaries in all of the highlands in December (school was out!), and so far in January, we
have investigated 14 residential burglaries and 6 commercial burglaries in all of the Highland's and
Kennydale districts.
Most of. the burglaries are committed by suspects who steal cash or other small items they can put in their
pocket. Forcing the front door is the most common means of entry. Some are thefts from construction
shacks and apartment complex laundry rooms - but we still have to consider them burglaries. We identify
some suspects utilizing our fingerprint technology through AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification
System). We have our most success (least amount of burglaries) in Block Watch neighborhoods.
This is one of the areas that I anticipate our new Crime Analyst will be able to help us out significantly.
The information we have clearly indicates a very few number of people are committing most of these
crimes. We need to be better at putting together those common denominators so we can most effectively
deploy our resources.
We currently provide Business Watch crime prevention efforts and a newsletter. We also provide
commercial "security checks" on request - to determine the most effective crime prevention alternatives,
mostly through environmental design and facility enhancements.

Dan,
I have had contact with the owner of the Hilands Barber Shop who reports an marked increase in
break-ins in the greater Highlands shopping area. She reports that most of the business owners have
been broken into in their center including their own business and many across the street. I also read in the
paper recently about a break in at the Technical College.
I spoke with Chief Anderson yesterday. He had also been contacted by the barber shop and he was
checking into the reports.
I believe the topic of break-in's in the Highlands should be referred to Public Safety. Perhaps the
businesses need to meet with the department or the committee and have the opportunity to voice
concerns and issues. I know they are also concerned that the methodone treatment facility in the shopping
center may be part of the problem. They also feel there should be more frequent patrols of the area. Since
the shops are closed at night they feel that there should be no one walking or parked in the area at night.
Let me know if you would like me to refer this topic.
