MOVED BY PERSSON,SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE CONSENTAGENDAAS PRESENTED. CARRIED. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Pro Tem Persson presented a report regarding alleys. The � Committee of the Whole Committee of the Whole has reviewed the issue of policy on City alleys related CED:Alleys(MBA to correspondence from the Master Builders Association. The Committee of Correspondence) the Whole directs staff to amend the Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation to ensure cfarity and internal consistency regarding when alleys are required,as well as under what conditions alleys would not be required. The code should be amended as follows: 4-7-150.E.5 Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern for all new residential development,except in the Residential Low Density land use designation(RC,R-1,and R-4 zones). All new development in an area that ha5 existing alleys shall take access off the alley. New development in areas without existing alleys shall utilize alley access on interior lots. If it can be demonstrated through an evaluation that the use of alley(s) is not practical,the use of alleys may not be required. Any or all of the following factors may apply and should be considered ' in evaluating whether the use of alleys is not practical: a) Size:The new development is a short plat. b) Topography: The topography of the site proposed for development in not conducive for an alley configuration. c) Environmental Impacts: The use of alleys would have more of a negative impact on the environment than a street pattern without alleys. 4-2-110.A Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations (Primary and Attached Structures),in the maximum density section: � Maximum Net DensityZ'la,�s R-8 8 dwelling units per 1 net acre,except that the maximum shall be 6 dwelling units per net acre when alleys were not evaluated for possible inclusion during the planning of the street configuration. The Committee recommends placing this issue,as outlined in the Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation,on the Planning Division's Work Program for inclusion in the Renton Municipal Code. Finally,the Committee recommends the City's long term policies regarding alleys and possible changes to address concerns about alleys be considered as part of the Comprehensive Plan update.

Warren, City Attorney SUBJECT: Statue Prohibitions Against Use of Public Office Facilities for Political Purposes and Use of Titles of Elected Officials During Campaign ' The election for the library will soon be upon us. One way elected officials and municipal employees can get in trouble is to use their public office or facilities for political campaign purposes. S ecificall RCW 42.17A.555 reads f II p y, as o ows: No elective official nor any employee of his office nor any person appointed to or employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of the facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to any ballot proposition. Facilities of public office or agency include, but are not limited to, use of stationery, postage, machines, and equipment, use of employees of the office or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space, publications of the office or agency, and clientele lists of persons served by the office or agency. However, this does not apply to the following activities: (1) Action taken at an open public meeting by members of an elected legislative body...to express a collective decision or to actually vote upon a motion, proposal, resolution, order or ordinance, or to support or oppose a ballot proposition so long as (a) any required notice of the meeting includes the title and number of the ballot proposition, and (b) members of the legislative body or members of the public are afforded an approximately equal opportunity for the expression of an opposing view; (2) A statement by an elective official in support of or in opposition to any ballot proposition at an open press conference or in response to a specific inquiry; Mayor Denis Law � • City Council Members Department Administrators Page 2 of 2 May 7,2012 (3) Activities which are a part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or agency. Please note the broad range of this statute. Even the use of the City phone could be a violation. Therefore, it is important to remember that political campaigning is something that should be done away from City Hall. For City employees, any campaigning should be done during non- business hours. Since there has been some difference of opinion on the Council, the question has arisen whether the Mayor and Council Members may use their elected titles to individually support or oppose a ballot proposition. They may do so. See Public Disclosure Guidelines for Local Government Agencies in Election Campaigns, Revised September 28, 2006. Specifically the ' guidelines state: Persons Permitted Local Government • May engage in political activities on his or her own time, I� Elected Officials if no public equipment, vehicle or facility is used. (An elected official mav use his or her title, but should clarifv that he/she is speakin�on his/her own behalf, and not on behalf of the a�encv. If the elected legislative body has adopted a resolution, the official can then speak on behalf of the agency.) • May attend any function or event at any time during the day and voice his or her opinion about a candidate or ballot proposition as long as they are not being compensated and are not using any public equipment, vehicle or other facility. As far as staff involvement, there may be a distribution of an objective and fair presentation of the facts as part of their job and they may engage in campaign activities on their own time, during non-work hours and without using public resources. The PDC publication noted above is available on its website and goes into much greater detail and discusses other situations that might arise.
