DECLARATION OF POLICY FOR THE WORKABLE PROGRAM
FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT
In reviewing progress under its Program for Community Improvement, a locality is taking stock—
evaluating its accomplishments and deciding on new goals for the coming years.This is an important process
—publicize it as a means of building community understanding and support for community improvement
objectives. Prepare a Declaration of Policy statement to be issued by the chief executive officer and
governing body to the people of the community. The statement should identify and summarize (1) signifi-
cant achievements during the past year; (2) changes or revisions in the community's overall objectives,
and (3) major goals which are set for attainment during the coming year.
DECLARATION OF POLICY
The City of Renton has adopted and publicly announced the policy implementing, during
the next 20 years, the several programs contained in the recently-completed 701
Comprehensive Plan. All of these programs are directed toward the improvement of the
community's facilities and services and require maximum use of the resources available
from within the community. A Capital Improvement Program is being formulated to guide
orderly growth; this program will detail both the costs and methods of financing all
major improvement projects.
I. The significant achievements of the past year toward the attainment of the goals
set in our Comprehensive Plan include:
1. Completion of Components of our Comprehensive Plan and the adoption
of same by the City Council.
2. The passage of a $400,000 GO bond issue by the voters to provide a
portion of the cost of a vitally important inter-change on FAI 405, the
freeway which serves our City.
3. The passage of a $150,000 GO bond issue to provide one-third of the
cost of a badly-needed new library which will replace the 1912 Carnegie
Library currently in service.
4. The sale of $500,000 in water and sewer revenue bonds (initiated by
resolution of the Council) to provide many needed improvements to our
street and sanitary sewer systems.
5. The purchase, through Council action, of approximately seven acres
of property adjacent to a City Park for use as a Civic Center site.
6. The budgeting of $125,000 taken from accumulated funds of the City
to serve as the "local contribution': toward a $500,000 parks and
recreation program to be augmented by state and federal matching funds.
7. The Council authorized the purchase of two new reservoir sites at a
cost of $55,000.
8. The City recently completed a $250,000 arterial street construction
program which has provided a fast, safe and important new route
connecting the eastern section of our City and the downtown area. 3

Declaration of Policy (continued)
II. The only major changes or revisions in the Community's overall objectives
are the following:
1. The original decision on the location of the Civic Center in
the South Renton area was reversed and the present site near
Liberty Park was chosen because of its central and more access-
ible location.
2. A change in the priority list of street improvements has resulted
in major emphasis being placed on the Logan-Smithers route and its
connection to the Benson Highway; previously, the Main to Mill
connection and the widening of Second Avenue were considered the
most necessary arterial improvements.
III, Major goals set for attainment during the coming year include:
1. $424,000 will be spent for water utility improvements which will
include installation of an important booster pump station and the
covering of the Highlands Reservoir.
2. The completion of the North Renton Interchange by late fall is
the City's major street project for 1966.
3. The beginning of development work on Lake Washington Beach Park,
a $450,000 project, will be sought during 1966.
4. Installation of water sprinkling systems in all City parks will
be completed in 1966.
5. The Logan Street Bridge, which spans the Cedar River, will be
widened to accommodate one more lane of traffic.
6. The City will begin a program of revising street names starting
with the south and east sections of the City in 1966.
7. The development and initiation of a systematic city-wide Compre-
hensive Code Enforcement Program.

The Committee has, during the past two years, undertaken to advise the City
Council through recommendations formally approved by the Committee and for—

recommendations on nearly every component program of the 701 Comprehensive
Plan. To study the parking situation in our downtown area, extensive
studies and several surveys were made.
The Committee has also sponsored hearings under the auspices of the Chamber
of Commerce and the City Council on the more controversial aspects of the
701 Plan. They have effectively helped to publicize the projects recommended
by the 701 Plan and have urged, encouraged, and promoted active citizen
participation to implement portions of the plan.
Several of the members of the Citizens Advisory Committee were instrumental
in helping to raise the $7,500 needed to initiate the 701 Plan; this money
was donated by property owners in the core area of our City and later matched
by Local, State and Federal funds to provide the $101,000 needed to complete
the 701 Plan.

needed due to the fact that we have almost a negative minority group
population and those that so reside have housing available to them
without regard to race, creed or color.

J. Summarize significant happenings that have taken place since the last submission in the extent of
citizen support and participation in the community improvement effort including significant activi-
ties of business, professional and civic groups and of the press, radio and television. Indicate new
goals for the coming year.
During the past several years increasing support and participation on the
part of various citizen groups and the press has been received for a number of
community improvement projects. Achievements of particular significance, as
well as major goals and objectives for the coming year are summarized in the
Workable Program Policy Statement (p. 3).
The 701 Comprehensive Program undertaken by the City is one area when a
Citizen's Advisory Committee and the press were vital elements in the total
program. The results of the program has provided the City with basic data for
decision making and background information for advanced planning studies
(including detailed neighborhood and community analysis, definition of blighted
and substandard housing areas; etc.).
The recently initiated program for removal of dilapidated buildings in
the central business district has been a direct outgrowth of the 701 Program.
The detailed inspection of structures in the CBD pointed out the extent and the
need for stronger code enforcement to eliminate blight. The need for a city—
wide code enforcement program was also reorganized, as a result. The develop—
ment and initiation of a Comprehensive Code Enforcement Program for the entire
City is considered essential during the coming year.
The broad scope of citizen participation in the various community improvement
projects is illustrated to some degree by the enclosed list of the City of Renton'.
Advisory Boards, Commissions, and Committees. The City Ordinance establishing the
Municipal Art Commission, for example, further defines the charge of a particular
commission and its role in the local governmental structure.
Since the last submission of the Workable Program a new mayor and three
new Councilmen have been elected. An increasing solidarity of purpose and a
more agressive administration has been achieved as a result. The Mayor and
the City Council have been taking a strong active role in developing citizen
interest and participation. The support of the local business and civic
groups, as well as the press has been an important factor in presenting
information to the people.
Supplementary Material Required. Submit one copy of the work program of the citizens advisory com-
mittee and of committee reports and recommendations made to the chief excutive of the community.
