Public Works: Cedar River At the request of Council President Keolker-Wheeler, Planning/Building/Public
Sockeye Hatchery Project, Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman gave a status report on the City of
City of Seattle Seattle's Cedar River sockeye hatchery project. He explained that Seattle wants
to place the brood stock facility close to the mouth of the Cedar River in order
to trap a more diverse population of salmon, which will be used to stock the
hatchery. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the various locations for the brood
stock facility proposed by Seattle were determined to be inappropriate by the
City of Renton, especially their preferred alternative of locating it under I-405
within a major recreation area. He noted that the City asked Seattle to locate
the facility further upriver, outside of the City limits.
Continuing, Mr. Zimmerman stated that a series of meetings were.held, and the
Mayor of Seattle asked Renton to reconsider its decision regarding the I405
site. Mr. Zimmerman concluded that the City still maintains the position that
placement of the brood stock facility at that location is an incompatible use..
Council President Keolker-Wheeler expressed her agreement with the City's
position, and asked if the facility could be placed there even if the Renton
disapproves of the location. Mr. Zimmerman stated that the City has the
authority to decide what its property is going to be used for.
Councilman Clawson acknowledged the importance of working with other
jurisdictions on salmon restoration, and indicated. that he does not have enough
information on the matter to make a decision.
Expressing his agreement with the City's position, Councilman Corman noted
that the Utilities Committee received a briefing on this matter last year.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
I appointed Alex Pietsch as the acting Administrator for the EDNSP Department subsequent to
Sue Carlson's official resignation in December 2002. For the past 90 days I have observed
Alex's performance dealing with critical issues facing the city, his legislative analysis and
communication with our State and Federal delegation, as well as the performance of the routine
but no less significant work efforts. I have come to the conclusion that Alex is very capable of
serving as the permanent Administrator of the EDNSP Department. Alex will be placed at Step
A of Grade M49, effective March 1, 2003.
MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
While it is not required, I would like the City Council to confirm this appointment to reinforce
our unified commitment to the work program and approach currently underway with respect to
key work items noted in the attached issue paper and to provide Alex with your vote of
confidence.

Appointment of Alex Pietsch as EDNSP Administrator
Mayor Tanner requests City Council confirmation in the permanent appointment of Alex Pietsch
as Administrator of the Department of Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic
Planning.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Council confirm the appointment of Alex Pietsch as Economic Development, Neighborhoods
and Strategic Planning Administrator, effective March 1, 2003, at Step A of Grade M49.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
On December 1, 2002, Sue Carlson officially resigned her position with the City of Renton as the
Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Administrator. At that time, I
appointed Alex Pietsch, the City's Economic Development Director, as the acting Administrator
for the department.
For the past 90 days I have been able to observe Alex's performance dealing with critical issues
facing the City, as well as the more routine workload. During his term as interim Administrator,
Alex:
• led the effort to place a development moratorium on property zoned for Heavy Industrial
uses, and then coordinated the efforts of his staff with that of the City Attorney's office and
the Development Services Division to lift the moratorium where possible.
• led the work effort to rezone key property (Lot Six) to allow the potential siting of a big box
retailer there.
• worked diligently with representatives from The Boeing Company to amend the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning associated with property owned by The Boeing Company
to accommodate higher and better uses when The Company decides to surplus their property
in the future.
March 5, 2003
Page 2
• processed four annexation requests, along with a proposal to lend more structure and
guidelines to future requests.
• represents the City on the Explore Life Working Group as this regional effort continues to
gain momentum.
• held discussions with Cirque du Soleil and The Boeing Company that may result in the
troupe's return to Renton in the summer of 2003.
• initiated potential code changes that will facilitate redevelopment of the Hilands Shopping
Center and the proposed Harrington Square multi -family project, and actively worked with
prospective developers for this site.
• worked with Councilmember Nelson to coordinate the efforts of the Renton Farmers Market
Committee as the second annual market is planned for this summer.
• currently is our lead for all legislative analysis and communication with our State and
Federal delegation. The City has already been recognized this year for its timely and salient
points made regarding potential legislation.
In addition to the above efforts, Alex and his department have continued to keep abreast of more
routine but no less significant work efforts such as:
• initiating another round of the neighborhood grant process, and coordinating the first
meeting of the newly formed Renton Alliance of Neighborhoods.
• processing our annual Comprehensive Plan amendments.
• completing work on our Endangered Species Act compliance.
• updating the capital facilities, utilities, environment, capital facilities and economic
development elements of the Comprehensive Plan, which will formally be adopted along
with the remaining elements in conjunction with the state -mandated update to the
Comprehensive Plan.
• planning a series of exciting events in downtown Renton that will showcase the City's
successes in the area this summer. If corporate sponsorships can be secured, the potential
exists to bring thousands of people to our downtown.
• staffing council committees and annual planning workshops, and other duties.
I have come to the conclusion that Alex is very capable of serving as the permanent
Administrator of the Department of Economic Development, Neighborhoods and Strategic
Planning. By making his appointment permanent, there will be no loss of momentum were we
to hire someone from outside the City. And making this appointment now will allow Alex to
immediately begin the process of determining the specific skills he needs for the position he
will vacate.
While it is not required, I would like the City Council to confirm this appointment to reinforce
our unified commitment to the work program and approach currently underway with respect to
the key work items listed above, and to provide Alex with your vote of confidence.
Alex will be placed at the Step A of Grade M49, effective March 1, 2003. There are sufficient
funds within the department budget as the previous incumbent, Sue Carlson, was at Step E.

existing park in his honor. After considerable debate, the Board voted to
recommend to the council that the yet to be built trail linking the Cedar River Trail
with Southport, and ultimately with Coulon Park, be named in Sam's memory.
The council approved funding for the design of this project in two phases. The
original appropriation was included in the 2001 budget with additional funding
added in 2003 to design the remainder of the connection. The total budget for
design is $200,000. The complexity of the project and length of the permit
process will delay the start of construction until at least 2004 or 2005.
Sam began working for the City in 1966 as a recreation specialist. He returned
to the city in 1985 as park superintendent and eventually became the head of the
Community Services Department. He served in this position until his retirement
in 1998. During his tenure here, he was instrumental in numerous significant
improvements and additions to Renton's park system. The trail connection
between Coulon and the Cedar River Trail is a project he dedicated much time
and energy to and one that was always among his top priorities. His family also
agreed that naming this section of trail after Sam would be a very fitting tribute to
his many contributions to the city's parks and its' citizens. Sam passed away in
2001.

OLD BUSINESS
Leslie Betlach reviewed the Veterans Park Conceptual Plan and updated
everyone on the proposed timeline. We anticipate ground breaking in November
and dedication on Memorial Day.
Mike Toll, Golf Pro, reported on the golf course revenues, which were down by
9% this year from last year. He reported also on the high school leagues and a
potential program recruiting participants as volunteers at the course. These
volunteers would assist at large tournaments, pick up range balls, etc.
Sam Chastain Memorial
There was further discussion regarding the naming of a park/facility in memory of
Sam Chastain after Jim Shepherd discussed the issue with Sandy Chastain. Jim
reported Sandy indicated either the trail connection, or the entire trail, or if North
Highlands Neighborhood Center were rebuilt would be a fitting tribute to Sam.
Ron Regis felt the entire trail system within the city limits should be named after
Sam, while other members felt the trail connection would be a beautiful spot and
more appropriate. There were concerns about the length of time to acquire and
complete the trail connection. Cynthia Burns made a motion seconded by Ralph
Evans to propose to Council to name the trail connection in memory of Sam
Chastain, and to post signage as soon as practical. Ron Regis was opposed, all
others were in favor, motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS
Council requested the park board to review the park rules and regulations to see
if any changes were warranted with the development of Southport. Staff will
return next month with a recommendation.

OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF RENTON
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
APPLICANT: Greg Quinn
Pacific Huts & Castles, Inc.
1420 NW Gilman Blvd., Suite 2272
Issaquah, WA 98027
File No.: LUA01-016,Shpl-H
LOCATION: The project is located at 5001 NE 4`h Street
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Subdivide an approximately 0.93 acre site into 8 lots suitable
for the development of detached, single family homes
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve with
conditions
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on April 3, 2001.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Development Services Report, examining
available information on file with the application, field
checking the property and surrounding area; the Examiner
conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
MINUTES
The following minutes are a summary of the April 10, 2001 hearing.
The legal record is recorded on tape.
The hearing opened on Tuesday, March 20, 2001, at 9:50 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of
the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were entered into the record:
Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original
application, proof of posting, proof of publication and
other documentation pertinent to this request.
Exhibit No. 2: Proposed Plat Plan
Exhibit No. 3: Vicinity Map
Exhibit No. 4: Zoning Map
The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Lesley Nishihira, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The proposal is located in the
eastern portion of the City limits. The site is designated R-10 on the City's Zoning Map and is surrounded by R-
8, single family zoning, and Center Suburban Commercial zoning, as well as other R-10 properties to the north.
The proposal is to subdivide a 0.93-acre site into 8 lots intended for the construction of single family homes.
The lot sizes would range from 3,581 square feet to 4,266 square feet in size. After the deduction of the public
Lauri's Meadow Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-016,Shpl-H
April 23, 2001
Page 2
ti
roadway from the gross area of the property, the proposal for 8 lots arrives at a net density of 11.45 dwelling
units per acre. Access to the site would be provided by a public street on the north side of the site developed
with half street improvements along the west side of the property.
Except when located on lands covered by water or sensitive areas, short plats are exempt from SEPA
Environmental Review.
Ms. Nishihira reviewed the proposal's consistency with Preliminary Plat Criteria. The site is designated
Residential Options (RO) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The objective established by the RO
designation is to incorporate both single family and multi -family developments, and to support cost efficient
housing, infill development, transit service, and the efficient use of urban services and infrastructure. The
proposal is consistent with the RO designation. The project is located within the R-10 zoning designation. The
R-10 Zone requires a minimum density of 7 to a maximum of 10 dwelling units per acre. However, when
detached units are proposed, the density may be increased to 13 dwelling units per acre. After deducting the
area of the right-of-way, the net density would arrive at 11.45 dwelling units per acre, which complies with the
density bonus of the zone when all detached structures are proposed. The proposal complies with the required
lot dimensions and setbacks for the zone. Side lot lines are proposed at right angles to street lines. Five of the
proposed lots would have direct frontage to a public road. Lots 2, 4, 6 and 8 would receive access via private
driveway easements of 20 feet in width across the lots fronting Graham Avenue. All lots comply with
arrangement and access requirements of the subdivision regulations. The plot plan includes setback lines for
each lot showing potential building envelopes. The setback lines include the appropriate setbacks required in
the zone. When considering the setback areas, the proposed lots appear to have sufficient building area for the
development of suitable detached single family homes.
A thirty-five foot width right-of-way is required to be dedicated (these are half street improvements). Twenty-
eight feet of pavement, curbs, gutters, 6-foot sidewalks, street paving and street lighting on the project side of
the street will be required. Dead-end roadways exceeding 150 feet in length require a Fire Department approved
turn -around. The plans will need to be revised to include a hammer head turn -around within the access
easement designed to serve lots 6 and 8.
The establishment of a Homeowners' Association or maintenance agreement for the private driveways as well
as shared utilities will be recommended as a condition of the short plat approval. The proposed subdivision is
expected to generate additional traffic on the City's street system, therefore a Traffic Mitigation Fee based on
$75 per average daily trip generated by the project is recommended as a condition of approval. The proposed 7
new lots are expected to generate approximately 66.99 new average weekday trips, this would result in an
estimated fee of $5,024.25.
The site slopes from east to west at an average grade of approximately 8%. Soils on the property are underlain
by Alderwood Gravelly Sandy Loam, which is considered a moderately well drained soil. There are no
sensitive or geologically hazardous areas on the property. The existing vegetation consists of coniferous and
deciduous trees, and a variety of shrubs and plants. There are two rows of substantial fir trees along the
northeast and northwest boundaries of the property. The trees range in size from 8 inches to 18 inches in
diameter. The southern portion of the parcel contains primarily underbrush. Construction of the site will
require removal of most of the existing on -site vegetation, including the trees on the west side of the site due to
the necessary roadway. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the row of trees on the east side of the
property be retained and protected throughout project construction.
Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate sufficient resources to furnish services to the property provided a Fire
Mitigation Fee of $488.00 per single family home be required in order to mitigate potential impacts to
emergency services. The fee is estimated at $3,416.00. The applicant will also be required to pay a Parks
Lauri's Meadow Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-016,Shpl-H
April 23, 2001
Page 3
Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single family home, fora total of $3,715.32. The site is located within
the boundaries of the Renton School District. The proposal is estimated to generate approximately 3.08 new
students. Renton School District has indicated that Maplewood Heights Elementary School, McKnight Middle
School and Hazen High School can accommodate the increased student enrollment that may result from the
proposed plat.
A Drainage Report, prepared by Core Design has been submitted. Storm water generated from the development
of the site is proposed to be directed to an 8-foot diameter detention tank to be constructed below the roposed
public roadway and discharged to a partially reconstructed storm system along the south side of NE 49 Street.
The site is located within Water District #90 service area. Therefore, the District will provide domestic service
to the project. A 24-inch East Renton Sewer Interceptor main located in the north. side of NE 41h Street will
serve the site. The project will require the installation of a new 8-inch main with side sewer stubs to serve the
proposed lots in the plat. System Development Charges as well as a Special Assessment District will be
imposed on the project.
Staff recommends approval of Lauri's Meadow Short Plat, subject to the six conditions listed in the Staff Report
Lafe Hermansen, Core Design, Inc., 4205 1481h Avenue NE, Suite 200, Bellevue, WA 98007 stated that the
applicant is in agreement with the staff report. The fire turn -around mentioned in the staff report will be
changed prior to final submittal.
Kayren Kittrick, Development Services, 1055 S. Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 stated that the 1998 King
County Water Design Manual should have been specified in the staff report. Vaults are allowed under rights -of -
way. There is the possibility in the far future that the City may be taking over the vaults in order to make them
accessible to the City in an emergency. Ultimately, Graham will be extended to the south, so no cul-de-sac is
necessary. The turn -around that will be installed will meet Fire Department standards.
Daniel F. Meddaugh, 5001 NE 4"' Street, Renton, WA 98059, property owner, clarified the status of the street at
the rear of the property.
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 10:23 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Greg Quinn, filed a request for approval of an 8-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.
The Environmental Review Committee (ERC), the City's responsible official, determined the project is
SEPA exempt.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
Lauri's Meadow Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-016,Shpl-H
April 23, 2001
Page 4
The subject site is located at 5001 NE 4th Street. The subject site is on the south side of 4th between
Duvall Avenue NE on the west and Nile Avenue NE on the east.
6. The subject site is a rectangular parcel. It is 0.93 acres in size. The subject site is approximately 141.23
feet wide (east to west) by approximately 286.68 feet deep.
7. A single family home and outbuildings are located on the northern portion of the subject site. These
structures will be removed if the proposal is approved. There are fir trees along east and west sides of
the subject site.
The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 4760 enacted in April 1999.
9. The subject site is currently zoned R-10 (Residential Options - 10 dwelling units/acre).
10. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of residential uses including single family and multiple family uses, but
does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan.
H . The applicant proposes dividing the subject site into eight (8) single family lots. The applicant proposes
developing each lot with detached single family uses.
12. The applicant will be developing a new north -south street to serve the proposed plat. The street would
be Graham Avenue NE. The applicant will dedicate 35 feet to allow the development of a 28 foot half -
street. There was no turnaround proposed, and since the street is over 150 feet long, it would require a
turnaround. Staff recommended that it be located between Proposed Lots 5 and 7. 41- 7
L :5 �sr •
13. There would be two tiers of lots in a tandem arrangement. Proposed Lots 1, 3, 5 and 7 (from north to
south) would be located along Graham. Proposed Lots 2, 4, 6 and 8 would be directly behind. The
proposed lots would range in size from just over 3,500 square feet, the minimum in the R-10 zone, to
4,266 square feet.
14. The interior lots would all be 51 feet deep and between 70 and 76 feet wide. The lots fronting along
Graham would also be between 70 and 76 feet wide and they would all be approximately 55 feet deep.
15. Access to these interior lots would be via two easement driveways. An easement driveway between
Proposed Lots 1 and 3 would serve Proposed Lots 2 and 4. A second easement between Proposed Lots
5 and 7 would serve Proposed Lots 6 and 8. This latter easement would provide a hammerhead
turnaround for emergency purposes until Graham is extended south.
16. Staff calculated density as 11.45 dwelling units per acre, which complies with the Zoning Code's range
of between 7 and 10 dwelling units per acre, or up to 13 units per acre if detached single family homes
are constructed.
17. Water and sanitary sewer lines are located adjacent to the subject site. The City would provide sewer
service while water would be provided by Water District 490.
18. The original report indicated that storm water would be handled under the 1990 King County Storm
Manual. At the hearing it was changed to the 1998 Manual which requires more substantial retention.
This was determined as appropriate since this site is within the Maplewood drainage area that is subject
to flooding and erosion problems. The system would be located under the street right-of-way for
Lauri's Meadow Short Plat
File No.: LUA01-016,Shpl-H
April 23, 2001
Page 5
Graham.
19. The proposed development will generate approximately 67 vehicle trips per day. Staff believed that this
traffic level could be handled by the current street system. Normal improvements along adjacent streets
will be required.
20. The subject site is located within the Renton School District. The development of the homes would
generate approximately 3 students.
21. Staff recommended that the trees along the east margin of the site be retained acknowledging that most
of the remaining trees would be removed.
22. The applicant does not propose providing any recreational amenities on the subject site.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The proposed short plat appears to serve the public use and interest. The applicant will be required to
offset its impacts on fire services, roads and parks in order to avoid exploiting facilities that others have
paid to construct and upgrade. The development of the lots will increase the tax base of the City.
The applicant's property is located in a sensitive drainage basin with known erosion and flooding
problems. In order to avoid exacerbating those conditions the requirements of the newer 1998 King
County Storm Drainage Manual should be applied. In addition, the applicant shall comply with other
conditions imposed by the Public Works Department including but not limited to erosion control
measures, monitoring by a licensed engineer and periodic reports.
3. The short plat provides additional housing opportunities. It provides smaller lots for those who don't
want large yards and maintenance.
4. The arrangement of lots does create a tier of enclosed small lots and while that could offer privacy, it
also could create a walled -in feeling on smaller lots.
The creation of a new road in a short plat means that the dedication will have to be forwarded to the
City Council which otherwise does not review short plats.
6. Since Graham Avenue may continue to the south, a sign should be erected near the road end that advises
future residents that a through road may increase traffic.
The lots are compatible with both the zoning and Comprehensive Plan. The overall plat meets the
density requirements of the R-10 zone.
8. In conclusion, the proposed plat appears to meet standards and will add to the tax base of the City
without unduly burdening City systems.
DECISION:

Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100Gof the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in
writing on or before 5:00 p.m., May 7, 2001. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner
is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in judgment, or the discovery of new
evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review
by the Examiner within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth
the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the
record, take further action as he deems proper.
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
Hall.
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 OF ACTION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department seeks approval and authorization for execution
of a sole source contract for photogrammetric services with Walker and Associates.. The
majority of the funds, $36,000, is to be paid from the Technical Services, Professional Services
account(000.000000.017.5320.0023.41.000148). The balance of that account is earmarked for
monument maintenance. The balance is to be covered by other Departments and Divisions of the
Planning/Building/Public Works Department who have requested new aerial photo wall maps.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that Council authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to execute a sole source Consulting Agreement and accompanying scope of work
with Walker and Associates for aerial photogrammetric services in the amount of $49,858.75 to
update the City's digital orthophotography and the production of five (80" x 80") aerial
photographic wall maps

VIA: -fie' Mayor Jesse Tanner

SUBJECT: Digital Orthophotography Update
ISSUE:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department seeks approval and authorization for
execution of a sole source contract for photogrammetric services with Walker and
Associates.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning/Building/Public Works Department recommends that the Council
authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a sole source Consulting Agreement and
accompanying scope of work with Walker and Associates for aerial photogrammetric
services in the amount of $49,858.75 for the purposes of updating the City's digital
orthophotography and production of five (80" x 80") aerial photographic wall maps.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City's current digital orthophotography is from aerial photography collected in
March of 1999. It was anticipated that there would be a three to five year update cycle,
depending of the rate and extent of change within the City's mapped area. Renton has
experienced a large amount of development throughout the city since 1999. Given the
amount of time and development since the last orthophoto update, it is now time to
update the City's imagery data.
February 26, 2003
Page 2
Walker and Associates was selected to provide the City with its original orthophoto
imagery in 1996 and the 1999 update. As a part of those mapping projects they also
developed and performed maintenance on a digital elevation model (DEM) for
orthographic correction of collected imagery and contour generation. Walker and
Associates has all the data associated with these projects including the analytical
aerotriangulation (A/T) parameters for each of the previous images. This data is
important to the update process. It reduces the amount of ground control required for the
new flight as control can be transferred from the previous image series where necessary
to orient and validate the A/T parameters of the new imagery. Walker also has the City's
current DEM, which is required for the orthographic correction of the new imagery. As
such, Walker and Associates is the only firm capable of performing this work given our
existing parameters. Therefore we are recommending that we utilize Walker and
Associates as part of a sole source contract. In addition, Walker is quite familiar with the
City and its environs and has provided excellent service.
Approval of Council is required for sole source contracts in excess of $20,000 per Policy
and Procedure 250-02 7.1.4 "The following exceptions require Council review" item 2
"The contract or purchase is sole source (over $20,000)."
There are several developing mapping technologies Lidar (LIGHT DETECTION AND RANGING)
and Ifsar (INTERFEROMETRIC SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR) as well as CCD (CHARGE COUPLE
DEVICE) imaging sensors which will be in wider use by 2006, the earliest that another
update will be needed. These technologies may allow the City to update and upgrade its
DEM and provide data in other than just the visible light bands and at less cost than
current methodologies. At that time, the department will solicit statements of
qualification and proposals from aerial mapping firms for updating the City's imagery.
This project was anticipated in the budgeting for 2003 and there are sufficient funds for
its execution.

Assocs 2.2003.130C 5 February. 2003
D.• In,the event the services of the Consultant are terminated by the City for fault on the part of the
Consultant, the above stated formula for payment shall not apply. In such an event the amount
to be paid shall be determined by the City with consideration given to the actual costs incurred
by the Consultant in performing the work to the date of termination, the amount of work
originally required which was satisfactorily completed to date of termination, whether that work
is in a form or of a type which is usable to the City at the time of termination, the cost to the City
of employing another firm to complete the work required and the time which may be required to
do so, and other factors which affect the value to the City of the work performed at the time of
termination. Under no circumstances shall payment made under this subsection exceed the
amount which would have been made if the formula set forth in subsection C above had been
applied.
E. Payment for any part of the work by the City shall not constitute a waiver by the City of any

Exhibit A - Scope of Work
1. SCOPE OF WORK
1. PHOTOGRAMMETRIC CONTROL
Walker & Associates
This project will utilize both ground and airborne GPS (ABGPS) survey control. The City of
Renton will be responsible for the surveying and premarking of all needed ground control points.
In addition, the City will provide GPS base stations collecting data at 0.5 second epochs during
the photo mission. Following the photo mission, the City will provide Walker with adjusted photo
center coordinates. All ground control and ABGPS values will be provided in U.S. survey feet,
Washington State Plane, North Zone NAD 83(91), and NAVD 88.
2. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Walker will acquire aerial photography at a scale of 1 "=840' for the primary purpose of updating the City of
Renton's digital orthophotography database. In addition, Walker will acquire color aerial photography at a
scale of 1 "=2,400'. This photography will be used to square off the ortho imagery in support of preparing
hard copy photo mosaics suitable for public display at the City offices. The photography will be acquired
during overcast conditions. This technique will greatly reduce or eliminate the visibility of shadows in the
photography.
Flight Equipment
We will use our company owned and operated Cessna T21ON turbocharged aircraft and our
gyroscopically stabilized Zeiss RMKA 15/23 forward motion compensation equipped camera. Our aircraft
and camera system's GPS navigation equipment is described below.
Walker has access to eight other company owned, fully equipped aircraft with Zeiss camera systems. We
have total control over our flight operations and no subcontractors will be involved in this critical phase of
your project.
GPS Navigation
All aerial photography will be flown utilizing our GPS Navigation System and camera firing software for
precise flight alignment and exposure location. These systems maximize the use of existing ground
control, and provide the highest quality, most repeatable photography.

Project synopsis
3. SCANNING
The film negatives will be scanned at a resolution of 12.0 microns (2116 dpi) and will yield an approximate
ground pixel size of 0.4'. The scanning will be performed at Walker's facility using our new Werhli RM-3
photogrammetric scanner. The scanning will be performed prior to annotating the film to minimize
scratches. The scanned images are stored on CD/DVD-ROMs as a 24-bit RGB color image in TIFF JPEG
compressed format.
The scanned digital images are checked for radiometric quality during scanning, and for geometric quality
during the interior orientation process.
Quality Assurance
• Scan Resolution Check
• Compression Check
• File Format Check
• Visual Radiometric Quality Check
• Visual Geometric Quality Check
• Visual Tonal Quality Check
• Digital Media Check
4. ANALYTICAL AEROTRIANGULATION (A/T)
Fully automatic analytical aerial triangulation will be used to densify photogrammetric control to the
individual stereo model level and to compute the exterior orientation parameters required for model
setup and ortho rectification processes.
Walker employs one Softcopy Workstation equipped with the latest photogrammetric software to run
a fully digital, automatic aerial triangulation. The ZI Imaging softcopy workstation used for this
process is equipped with the ImageStation Automatic Triangulation (ISAT) AT software. Following is
a brief description summarizing the AT workflow:
• Run automatic interior orientation on all digital images.
• The first QC step is to identify images with residuals above 20 microns and
take corrective action.
• Manually locate and measure all ground control points in the block.
• Run automatic pass and tie point selection.
• The second QC step is to visually inspect the selected pass and tie points,
and make manual corrections.
• Run the bundle least -squares adjustment.
• The third QC step is to identify problem control points, if any, and report them
to the surveyor for correction.
• Run the final AT solution and compute the exterior orientations for all images.
• Perform a random check of the various stereo models for proper setup and
y-parallax presence.
• Finalize the AT report and submit for approval (final AT -QC step).
5. DTM / DEM
The orthophotos prepared in the course of this project will be prepared using two sets of elevation data.
The 1 "=840' scale photography will be rectified using existing DTM data prepared for the City of Renton
during previous mapping projects. The orthophotos prepared from the 1 "=2,400' scale photography will be
rectified using both City of Renton DTM and USGS DEM data.
Please note that only existing DTM and DEM data will be used in the orthorectification process. As a
result, the orthophotography will not be accurate in areas of topographic change. This effect will be
partucularly noticeable in areas where there has been major roadway or bridge construction.
6. DIGITAL ORTHOPHOTOGRAPHY
Walker uses the Zllmaging OrthoPRO ortho generation and mosaicking package, which uses the
aerial triangulation solution for each photo without any need to re -measure the control points.
The ortho production procedure follows:
• Using the AT solution, the scanned images, and the collected DTM, run the
ortho rectification process on all images within the project area (all images
and not every other image). Set the output pixel size to the required
resolution.
• Using the same OrthoPRO package, run auto dodging on all ortho images to
reduce radiometric abnormalities within each image and between images.
These abnormalities may include hot spots, light -to -dark effect from one side
of the image to the other, and very light and dark areas within each image.
• Using Bentley Microstation CAD, and Zllmaging IRASC image processing
software, load all dodged images and then visually draw the seamlines
between adjacent photos and flight lines. Design the sheet layout as required
by the client,
• Using ZI Imaging OrthoPRO package, import the seamlines and the sheet
coverages from Microstation file, and run a fully automated mosacking, color
matching, and sheet cutting.
• Complete final visual inspection of all sheets for tonal quality, color balance
and image matching.
• Using Adobe Photoshop software, manually clean all sheets of any visible
anomalies such as scratches and dust.
• Save the ortho sheets to the final format as required by the client.
An automatic check is made of DTM data during the Digital Orthophoto process. A comparison is made
between the aerotriangulation elevation value and that interpolated from the DTM for each
photogrammetric point that falls within the DTM area. Elevation differences that could cause significant
image displacement are flagged for review.
A final check is made after the digital rectification process by comparing digital orthophoto coordinates for
photogrammetric points with the aerotriangulation values. These will agree within the one pixel range.
7. HARD COPY MOSAICS
Using the 0.5' pixel and 3' pixel color orthophotos, a digital mosaic will be prepared. Eight hard copy
mosaics will be prepared of the Exhibit B area on photographic paper using a light jet plotter. Each mosaic
will be prepared as two 40"x 80" panels at a scale of 1 "=550', mounted on '/2' foam -core board and
covered with protective lamination.
II. Deliverables
One set of color contact prints
One set of color digital orthophoto files (TIFF format)
One set of black and white digital orthophotos (TIFF format)

Issue Paper — Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
In June 2002, the City of Renton Police Department applied for and received pre -
approval for a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) awarded by the
Department of Justice. The grant amount was for $50,191. Acceptance of the grant
requires the formation of an Advisory Board to discuss proposed use of the funds prior to
receipt of funds. It also mandates a public hearing to allow for citizen input and
comment. Lastly, a City contribution of $5,577 is required to complete the process of
grant acceptance.
BACKGROUND:
The City has participated in this program since 1996, using the funds for crime
prevention and to support legal advocacy services for victims of domestic violence.
Cities have two years to expend the funds after receiving the award. Previously, the
Renton Domestic Violence Task Force served as the Advisory Board, to review the
application and make non -binding recommendations on the use of funds. Also, during
the 2003 budget process, this position and responsibility was transferred from
Community Services to the Police Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
(1) Council authorize Administration to accept Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
funding.
(2) Re -affirm city's contribution of $5,577 (completed during 2002 budget process).
(3) Authorize scheduling of public hearing for March 24.
