FROM: Armondo Pavone, Mayor
SUBJECT: 2021‐2022 Proposed Budget
Council President, Councilmembers, and members of the Renton Community,
The past year has been difficult for everyone. We have stayed home and created
physical distance from one another. Businesses have shut their doors and many workers
have lost their jobs. Some of us have even lost loved ones to COVID‐19. Renton
residents and businesses have felt the impact of this pandemic and we at City Hall have
had to find new ways to do business.
During these times, I want to assure you that while the city has had to adapt and find
new and more efficient ways of doing business the city is doing well.
We continue to provide all our core services. In fact, we continue to set higher goals in
the level of service we provide.
We are making sure that residents and businesses are aware of the assistance and
support that’s available to them, so they can recover from the current hardships.
I am pleased to present to you my budget proposal for the 2021‐2022 biennium.
First, I want to thank Jan Hawn and her staff for all their work in preparing the budget
document that you have received.
And special thanks to our department administrators for their effort and collaborative
spirit in preparing this budget.
Throughout the process, they focused on our ability to continue providing quality
services citywide as defined in your Business Plan.
Thanks to smart and strategic actions delivered by our department‐heads we can
remain financially strong in the upcoming biennium, not compromise our priorities, and
still plan for some of the key areas of focus that are important to our community.

October 5, 2020
Our commitment to serving our citizens is defined by the city’s Business Plan and each
department operates with these goals in mind.
They are:
Providing a safe, healthy, vibrant community
Promoting economic vitality and strategically positioning our community for
the future
Supporting planned growth and influencing decisions to foster
environmental sustainability
Building an inclusive informed city with equitable outcomes for all in support
of social, economic, and racial justice for all
And meeting service demands and providing high quality customer service
As part of our commitment to being an inclusive informed city with equitable outcomes
for all, this year we specifically strengthened and expanded our strategic goal of
inclusion by adding an emphasis of equity, accountability, and community input.
In addition, we have built strong relationships with leaders from every ethnic and
religious group in our community.
Our internal departments will be working to enhance our systems to improve access to
city purchasing and contracting services for women‐ and minority‐owned businesses.
And our Human Resources Department has led the region in launching several new
hiring policies to provide more opportunities for all applicants.
We will continue with an enhanced mandatory all‐employee training that addresses
implicit bias, race and social justice as well as emphasizes high performance.
Our success with the Census this year has been incredible. With our recent count at just
under 75%, we have gone from being one of the most undercounted cities in the
country to now claiming the top spot in South King County! In fact, we are now one of
the top in the country, and the long‐term positive impacts on our budget because of this
increase and the funds and resources we will get for our community is very encouraging.
We were able to do this by actively seeking grants from the state and other
organizations to help us with our outreach.
Much of the credit goes to our community and members of our task force, the
mobilization of Census ambassadors, our partners, and stakeholders. Thank you.
In order to build our city for the future, we are investing federal and state funding
where it will make the most difference.

Using CARES funding, we have been able to provide significant funding for rental
assistance, feeding programs, and business assistance, all of which support our Business
Plan.
The City will be allocating $388,880 in CARES Act rental assistance funding to nine local
agencies.
Another $401,178 in Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Coronavirus funding
will be distributed to Renton Housing Authority ($250,000), St. Vincent de Paul/St.
Anthony’s ($50,000) and Renton Salvation Army Food Bank ($101,178). And the city has
earmarked $1,380,000 in CARES grants for 188 qualified Renton small businesses.
None of the challenges implementing the Business Plan of the City has been more
difficult than advancing the City’s economic development agenda. With the support of
the City Council, committed staff, and strong partnerships with the business and
development community, we have not only persevered but advanced the city’s
economic development agenda. Within two weeks of the Governor’s Stay at Home
Order, staff in Community & Economic Department and other departments were
completely operational, albeit remotely. This was an incredible feat, and one that could
not have been accomplished without the leadership and staff in the Administrative
Services and Human Resources Departments.
The Pandemic has had a catastrophic economic impact on much of the business
community. Restaurants, bars, and other businesses closed under the Governor’s Order
amid fears and concerns of the future. CED staff resources were redirected and
deployed to assist the business community with State and Federal funding applications,
enhanced communication and marketing tools, and implementation of new public
health guidelines, as well as rental support and assistance.
For the first time, permits and Land Use Applications are almost entirely processed
online. Engineering and Building Inspectors vehicles have been transformed into offices,
and inspections that cannot be performed in person are conducted virtually. The
Planning Commission and the Hearing Examiner continue to do their important work
and keep the processes moving. Staff communicate, collaborate and meet the daily
expectations to support local business, new development and businesses that want to
make Renton their home.
Community and Economic Development continues to cross train and work with other
departments to streamline our work and find effective ways to ensure the public dollars
go further.

These collective efforts are reflected in the initiatives and projects being advanced in
2021/2022 budget cycle. We anticipate the completion of many permitted
development projects including the opening of Valley Medical Center’s new cancer
treatment facility, Top Golf, and the Sunset Terrace Apartments. Two new affordable
workforce housing projects, Sunset Oaks and Willowcrest Townhomes, are expected to
come online in the coming year.
And multiple investments are being made in our Downtown core, building on the work
already underway to rebuild intersections, enhance pedestrian amenities and return
two‐way travel to our streets. This ongoing work will enhance safety and beautify our
historic business district with new lighting, landscape, signage and public art.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in Renton on new projects that vary
from the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel at Southport, to new office developments and
housing projects.
Partnerships remain a vital part of our successes in furthering the Business Plan.
Partnerships with Renton Housing Authority, KCLS, and private developers, plus support
from the State Legislature, help us to continue the transformation of the Sunset area
into a beautiful new neighborhood, teaming with investment. The opening of the Sunset
Neighborhood Park is a testament to what can be achieved in working with long‐term
partners to build our community.
The Family First Community Center, which will improve the quality of life for thousands
of our residents in the Cascade area, is another example of what can be accomplished
through strong partnerships. We continue to work with Renton School District,
HealthPoint, the Doug Baldwin Foundation, Renton Regional Community Foundation
and other generous donors and supporters to make the community center a reality.
Investing in our infrastructure and capital improvements projects is critical to the long‐
term health and well‐being of our city.
One of the key priorities that we have identified for the upcoming 2021‐22 budget is a
North WaterWalk at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. Not only will this provide a
significant amenity for our residents and community, but it is also an especially
important safety feature for the park.
Another key capital project is a two‐way protected bike lane on SE 168th Street in the
Cascade Benson area that will provide connection between two schools. This area needs
significant infrastructure investment, and this project will highly benefit the community
with increased safety and accessibility.
For both these projects, we will seek grant funding from the state.

Some other transportation priorities include:
• Finish right‐of‐way and construction for 405/N. 8th Direct Access Ramp; the cost
estimate is approximately $240‐$250M
• 405/167 Area Transit improvements – Grady Way Overcrossing: $40‐$50M
• Complete the 405/44th Structured Parking: amount TBD
• Rainier/Grady Way Transit Oriented Development Initiative
• King County work on the Renton Extension of Eastrail
• I‐405 Renton‐to‐Bellevue Project
In Renton, we have committed ourselves to a public safety strategy that places the
safety of our community and the partnership with our residents first. In a time of
unprecedented challenges to our City and community, our Police Department remains
dedicated to their stated mission: “Working together to provide professional and
unbiased law enforcement services to our community”. Throughout the nation, the
expectation of law enforcement is to be transparent, accountable and fair. I am
confident the Renton Police Department will meet those expectations.
The City of Renton maintains the lowest crime rate in major South County cities by using
its full complement of police services and partnering with our community. By providing
proactive and responsive resources and programs to address crime and safety issues,
Renton often sets the example for others to follow.
There are several examples of how Renton Police work in collaboration with the
community to provide such outstanding services. The department’s Take Me Home
Program is a community‐driven program designed for the safe return of loved ones who
may have difficulty communicating or may need special assistance during an emergency
situation.
Safe Place is an initiative that was born out of a need to address low reporting of anti‐
LGBTQ+ crimes and school bullying incidents. By partnering with local businesses who
will provide a safe place for victims to shelter while a crime is reported, we hope to
increase the feeling of, and opportunity for, safety in our community. I would like to
thank the members of our Mayors Inclusion Task Force, and in particular Kevin Poole,
for bringing the idea to us and supporting our efforts in this program.
Recently, the police department held a series of online polls to create a baseline of
interest, concerns, and expectations of the department and what residents feel policing
should look like in Renton. With this data, they will now engage the community through
a series of forums and discussions specific to the communities of Renton. The goal of
this engagement will be to provide education, information, and most importantly, gain

community perspective and feedback on our policies and practices to ensure the
department is providing the services our community expects.
Programs and efforts like these make me proud and give me the confidence that our
police department will not only rise to these necessary challenges but set the example
on collaborative community engagement and public safety.
This balanced budget proposal will allow us to continue to meet the service needs of our
growing community, albeit under some rather challenging circumstances due to
revenue losses associated with COVID‐19.
Other than the 1% property tax adjustment allowed by state law, this budget does not
require any new taxes for the next two years to meet our service level objectives.
This is despite the end of a $3 million sales tax subsidy we have been receiving from the
state for annexing the Cascade/Benson community in 2008, which ended in mid‐2018.
This two‐year budget proposal shows revenue of $494.2 million, with revenues
projected to rebound slightly starting in 2021 after a significant loss of $16.9 million in
2020 due to COVID‐19.
The largest loss of revenue due to COVID is from B&O tax, sales tax, and permit and
recreation fees due to closures.
Like all government agencies, we continue to see costs of labor and materials increasing
at a higher percentage than revenues.
With those exceptions, we have been fortunate to have a strong economy the past
several years.
As a result of the revenue loss in 2020 and the undetermined depth or duration of the
impacts of COVID‐19, we have decided to hold the line and are proposing a baseline
budget for 2021. This will help us focus on stabilizing and maintaining core City services
at a level that is expected by our residents and businesses while ensuring that the city
remains in a financially stable position.
The proposed budget reflects the use of reserves during 2021 and 2022, again due in
large part to the impact of COVID‐19, but also as a result of the fact that expenditures
tend to grow at a higher percentage than revenues. It will be challenging in future years
to maintain service levels without new sources of income as we discussed during the
2020 Council retreat.

As many of you recall, we reduced our staffing in 2009 to address the impact of the
recession, despite significant increases in population. We learned from that experience
and it has helped us with our cost containment efforts in 2020 and in planning for this
budget cycle.
Again, we are proposing a baseline budget for 2021. There are no new positions
proposed for the upcoming biennium.
The only changes proposed for the 2021‐2022 Preliminary Budget are due to:
Amendments to the original Adopted 2019‐2020 Budget made during that
timeframe.
Increases to costs for medical and employee benefits.
A proposed small living adjustment in 2022.
If we continue to work together, I'm confident that we can solidly navigate a city budget
and far more important, a pathway to the future that truly reflects our values and our
collective love for this phenomenal city.
Thank you.
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 7Executive Summary - Budget Message from the Mayor
City of Renton
2021‐2022 Budget Highlights
Budget Overview
The total adopted 2021‐2022 budget has revenue of $494.2 million and
a total expenditure of $507.5 million. This is 4.0% less in revenue and a
3.4% decrease in expenditures when compared with the 2019‐2020
adopted budget.
The majority of the City’s revenue sources are projected to decrease in
2021 due to closures resulting from COVID‐19, particularly retail sales
and use tax, utility tax, other licenses and permits, and other
intergovernmental and miscellaneous revenues. There is also a
significant decrease in grant revenue in the Transportation CIP. These
revenues are expected to stabilize by 2022. The primary reason for the
decrease in expenditures is lower expenditures related to capital
improvements.
Given the revenue losses associated with COVID‐19, the City is using a
“baseline” budget for the first year of the upcoming biennium. As a
result, there are no additional positions in this budget. This adopted
budget includes the elimination of 2.5 positions (1.5 for limited term
employees and 1.0 full‐time position) for a total authorized number of
614.03 FTEs for 2021 and 614.03 for 2022.
Projected Budget Gap The adopted budget reflects a fund balance decrease of $23.4 million
at the end of 2022 in the City’s General Fund, in large part due to the
loss of revenue due to COVID‐19 and the fact that the City’s costs grow
faster than the pace at which revenues grow. With an inflationary
adjustment for future wages and projected employee medical benefit
cost increases, a gap will occur in 2022 and continue to grow larger
beyond the current biennium. The ongoing gap requires long‐term,
sustainable solutions.
The 2021‐2022 Budget will
stabilize and maintain core
services
The adopted 2021‐2022 budget does not contain any citywide cuts.
There are also no new budget requests in this adopted budget as a
result of 2021 being a “baseline budget,” but the focus is to continue to
stabilize and maintain core City services at a level that is expected by
our residents and businesses, and will position Renton for the future.
Fund Balance
The overall 2021‐2022 adopted expenditures exceed the adopted
revenues by $13.3 million and results in a projected overall fund
balance of $138.2 million, approximately 8.8% less than the estimated
2020 estimated ending fund balance.
The decrease in the fund balance is primarily attributable to projected
loss of revenue associated with COVID‐19 and increases in medical and

1 - 8Executive Summary - 2021/2022 Budget Highlights
The General Fund balance will be maintained at $15.3 million, just
above the 12% of General Fund operating expenditures, as targeted by
our fiscal policy.
Overall, the City is in sound financial condition.
General Government
Overview
Of the $494.2 million total revenue, $203.1 million is in the City’s
General Fund. The $203.1 million revenue is $2.4 million or 1.2% greater
than the 2019‐2020 budget. The increase is due to an increase in
property taxes, business & occupation tax, and other taxes in 2022.
Personnel makes up the largest single category of expenses for the City
at 41% of the total citywide budget. Wage adjustments, medical
premiums, and pension increases tend to rise at a higher percentage
increase than revenues grow.
Given various costs increases to maintain existing services, even with
accompanying revenues and fee adjustments, the General Fund
continues to show persistent budget gaps into the future. The gap starts
at $9.4 million in 2020 and will grow over time to $14.8 million by 2026.
This is due to the loss of revenue in 2020 associated with COVID‐19 and
the fundamental imbalance between the revenue options available to
local governments and the services local governments are expected to
provide. Renton is not an exception. This issue has been a high priority
topic for the State Legislature and citizen advisory panels for various
past State Governors. But, in the end, this is a problem left for local
governments to solve themselves with the limited tools available.
General Fund Revenues
Business and Occupation
(B&O) Tax/Business License
Fees
To bridge the gap and to address the structural imbalance, the City
implemented one of the tools available to help generate the amount of
sustainable revenue needed in the near future, and beyond the current
biennium. The City engaged businesses and community leaders in the
process and received valuable input that allowed us to structure and
implement the B&O tax effective January 1, 2016 in a way that would
minimize impact to the business community.
The adopted 2021‐2022 budget continues the B&O tax implemented on
January 1, 2016. The key provisions of the B&O tax are:
Businesses with $500,000 or higher annual gross receipts are
required to pay B&O tax.
The 2020 B&O tax maximum amount paid is capped at $4.723
million per year. This cap is automatically adjusted annually by
inflation.
The tax rate is 0.085% for all business activities other than
retail, which have a rate of 0.05%.
Limits the non‐profit and government exemptions for both
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 9Executive Summary - 2021/2022 Budget Highlights
As noted above, budgeted expenditures for 2021 have been set at a
baseline level due to the impact of revenue losses related to
COVID‐19. The only changes for the 2021‐2022 Preliminary Budget
are due to:
Amendments to the original Adopted 2019‐2020 Budget made
during that timeframe;
Increases to costs for medical and employee benefits; and
A budgeted cost‐of‐living adjustment in 2022 of 2%.
Property Tax
Sales Tax
Utility Tax
Fee Adjustments
B&O tax and Business License fee.
A three‐year, new employer tax credit for new businesses with
50 or more employees in Renton.
The B&O tax was the only revenue option that the City Council could
implement without going to voters, which could generate the funds
needed to maintain General Fund City services into the future. It will
provide approximately $6.5 million in revenue in 2021 and is projected
to increase to approximately $9.5 million in 2022. Most of the revenue
generated will be needed for the General Fund, although a portion will
help fund capital improvement projects.
Property tax revenue is projected to grow by just over $4.0 million
based on the 1% growth limit plus 1% for new construction. The City
also increased its levy in 2019 by approximately $1.0 million in property
tax for debt service payments related to the bonds for major
maintenance projects for parks, and will continue until the bonds are
fully paid. The total levy collection for 2021 is projected to be $21.5
million.
Sales tax is projected to decrease by 9.9% in 2021 and then increase by
8.7% in 2022 (as the economy recovers from the impact of COVID‐19).
Utility taxes are projected to decrease by 8.3% in 2021 and then
increase by 4.8% in 2022. The decrease is also due to the impact of
COVID‐19.
Consistent with prior year practices, the fee schedule has been
reviewed and the adopted budget includes various fee increases, as
outlined in the adopted fee schedule.

Maplewood Golf Course
The adopted budget shows no increase for the Maplewood Golf
Course.
Internal Service Funds
The City operates several “businesses” that provide service internally
to other City departments. These include the Equipment Rental Fund
(501), Insurance Fund (502, property, liability, worker’s comp, and
unemployment), Information Technology Fund (503), Facilities Fund
(504), Communications Fund (505, print, mail, and general
communication), Healthcare Insurance Fund (512), and LEOFF1
Retiree Healthcare Fund (522).
All of the costs identified herein are paid for and included in the
operating departments’ budget. The charges are calculated based on
either specific charges or by systematic cost allocation. The health
insurance charge (for both active and retired employees) is part of
personnel benefit costs. The remaining internal service funds (Fleet,
Property/Liability Insurance, Technology, Facilities, and
Communications) services are paid as internal service charges.
About 80% of all internal service charges are paid by the General
Fund; therefore, the cost of internal service fund operations directly
affects the General Fund’s bottom line.
Equipment Rental Fund
Operating: $2.9M in
2021/$2.9 M in 2022
$2.1M in 2021 and $1.4M in
2022 for equipment
replacements/new additions
The Equipment Rental fund maintains nearly 733 pieces of
equipment, of which approximately 500 are vehicles and mobile
equipment used intensively in delivering City services. The Fund also
accumulates replacement reserves for the replacement of vehicles
when needed.
The adopted budget includes $2.1M in 2021 and $1.4M in 2022 for
equipment replacements and new acquisitions. See Public Work’s
Budget by Department (section 3) for the full detailed listing.
Information Technology
Operating: $6.1M in
2021/$6.2M in 2022
Capital:$659k
The Information Technology (IT) Fund was created in 2007 to allocate
the costs of the City’s centralized IT services costs. This fund provides
for citywide communication and data processing systems
improvements, maintenance and support including phone and
computer hardware and software, data center servers, storage and
network systems, business application systems development,
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 13Executive Summary - 2021/2022 Budget Highlights
implementation and support, Geographic Information Systems and
services, and mobile devices, copier and printer equipment for the
City.
The adopted budget of $6.4 million in 2021 and $6.6 million in 2022
includes a total of $659k in IT capital projects over the 2‐year budget
period. This includes major replacement and enhancement of existing
core networking, servers and storage equipment, end‐user
computers, copiers and printers.
Risk Management
Operating: $17.2M in 2021
/$18.4M in 2022
The City’s Risk Management program consists of three funds: the
Property and Liability Insurance Fund (502), the Employee Health
Insurance Fund (512), and the LEOFF I Retiree Medical Fund (522).
The 502 Fund’s annual budget totals $3.3 million in 2021 and $3.3
million in 2022, consisting of property and liability insurance, workers
compensation, unemployment insurance, and program
administration. In 2020, all of the remaining portion of the
Annexation Sales Tax reserve were transferred to the General Fund to
help offset the revenue losses related to COVID‐19.
The City self‐insures employee health benefits with stop‐loss
coverage of $250k per incident. The 2021 and 2022 budget and
charges are based on projected plan costs by the number of
employees. The 2021 premium increase is based on actual plan cost
increases for the prior year (from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020),
with an actuarial analysis and the need to maintain 30% in reserves
taken into account. The 2022 premium increase is calculated based
on a projected 9% increase.
Providing retiree health care is required by state law for LEOFF I
retirees. The City’s contribution is determined actuarially and re‐
evaluated every other year. The most recent actuarial study put the
City’s obligation at approximately $39.4 million in present value;
therefore, the City is contributing $2.6M per year to fund this
obligation in 2021 and 2022.
Facilities
Operating: $6.1 million for
2021/$6.4 million for 2022
The Facilities Fund (504) was fully implemented in 2010 to accumulate
costs for maintaining and operating the City’s offices, public facilities
(primarily used by the general public), and operational facilities
(primarily used for City operations purposes), and charges the costs
to the appropriate functions/departments.
Communications
Operating: $1.2 million/year
The Communications Fund was also created in 2010 by pooling
citywide communications resources for the central print shop,
interoffice mail, external postage and printing services, and the
Government TV channel operation. These were put in one place for
consistent coordination of brands, messages, and better prioritization
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 14Executive Summary - 2021/2022 Budget Highlights
of workload. The annual operating cost is at $1.2 million per year,
which is allocated based on actual services demand by departments.
Pension Trust Fund
Firemen’s Pension
$210k in 2021; $200k in 2022
for Pension benefit payment
The City is the custodian of the Firemen’s Pension Fund, a trust fund
managed by appointed Trustees consisting of City elected officials and
retired pensioners.
The Fund accumulates resources and pays current pension benefits
per state law. The Fund has sufficient assets to fully fund the City’s
pension obligation. Currently the plan assets generate more than
sufficient earnings to cover the benefits; and the City also receives a
distribution of a state fire insurance premium surcharge that is
restricted exclusively for fire pensions. The fund balance is expected
to grow due to the “overfunded” status of the Pension. After the plan
is closed and all beneficiaries are expired, the balance may be moved
to LEOFF 1 retiree medical.

1 - 15Executive Summary - 2021/2022 Budget Highlights
The Budget Process
Washington state law requires that cities must adopt a balanced budget prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.
The adopted budget appropriates funds and establishes legal expenditure limits for the upcoming fiscal year.
Washington state law also allows for the adoption of biennial budgets provided the City Council also adopts a
second ordinance for a mid‐biennial review and modification prior to the end of the first year in the fiscal
biennium. In 2011, the City of Renton moved from an annual budget to a biennial budget with mid‐biennial
review.
Budget Development and Adoption
The City of Renton’s development of the biennial budget occurs every two years from February through October.
Development begins with the Mayor and the Council’s review of the City’s current service levels and projected
revenues into the new biennium to determine if they need to make significant changes to the budget. During this
review, the Mayor’s first priority is to ensure that the City is able maintain the current levels of service. As costs
to maintain service levels continue to rise, additional funding may need to be identified to preserve the current
levels of service. Alternatively, if revenues are expected to decline, cost‐cutting measures may be implemented.
The Mayor and the Council hold a strategic planning retreat in February of each year in order to determine
whether the City’s current levels of service are meeting the needs of our community, adopt the City’s Business
Plan Goals, and sets policy direction and priorities for the next budget cycle.
During June and July, City departments prepare and submit budget proposals with the estimates for providing
existing service levels for each year in the biennium. In addition, they submit capital improvement program (CIP)
budgets. In a typical biennial budget development, departments also requests for new programs that they would
like the Mayor to consider, which include current service level expansion and new services. However due to the
pandemic and the City’s current budget status, there are no new program requests during this budget cycle. The
Mayor then evaluates the departments' proposals to ensure they align with Council’s adopted Business Plan Goals
and recommends to Council for approval.
The Mayor must provide a proposed biennial budget to the Council no later than October 31. The Mayor’s
proposal also includes the estimated revenue to support the costs of providing City services. Proposed
expenditures cannot exceed the reasonably anticipated revenue sources, unless new revenue sources are also
being proposed, in which case, proposed legislation to authorize the new revenue sources must be submitted to
the City Council along with the proposed budget.
After the Mayor submits the proposed budget, the Council conducts a public hearing in October. During the same
time frame, the Council holds committee meetings in open sessions to discuss budget requests with department
representatives and make subsequent amendments to the Mayor’s proposed budget. Once the public hearings
have been held, the deliberative process is complete, and the Council has made their changes, the City Council
will adopt the budget ordinance in November.
Once the Council adopts the budget, the Mayor must ensure that expenditures are made within legal limits. If the
economy changes or the City identifies unanticipated needs during the year that require changing the budget, the
Mayor will recommend those changes. A Council‐adopted ordinance must accompany all budget increases. If
revenues fall short, the Mayor can make decreases to the budget to ensure that the City does not overspend
available resources.

Budgetary Basis and Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to the point at which revenues or expenditures/expenses are recognized. The City’s
budget is adopted on the modified accrual basis of accounting: revenue is reported when it is both measurable
and available and expenditures are reported when the liabilities are incurred. Property tax, sales taxes, and other
tax‐payer assessed revenues due for the current year are considered both measurable and available for budgetary
purposes, even though a portion may be collected in the subsequent year. Licenses, fines, penalties, and
miscellaneous revenues are recorded as revenue as they are received in cash since this is when they are both
available and can be accurately measured.
The budgetary basis of accounting does vary slightly from the City’s financial statement reporting. Both
governmental activities and business‐type activities in the government‐wide statements, the proprietary fund,
and the fiduciary fund statements are presented on the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized
when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred. Whereas, the governmental fund financial statements
are presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting, similar to the budgetary basis of accounting except for
the following differences:
Perspective differences – the General Fund is structured differently for budgeting purposes than it is for
reporting under GAAP. This City maintains various management funds that are reported within the
General Fund. Consolidation of the funds results in the elimination of transfers between the consolidated
funds for GAAP reporting.
Basis difference – certain payments and receipts are budgeted for in a manner that is inconsistent with
GAAP. Interfund payments for indirect cost allocations and reimbursement of payroll costs associated
with capital projects are budgeted as interfund revenues; however, these payments are reclassified as a
reduction of the expenditure for GAAP reporting. In addition, interfund loan payments are budgeted as
debt service expenditures; however, these payments are reclassified as a reduction of the interfund loan
payable for GAAP reporting.
The budget, as adopted, constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. The budget is adopted with budgetary
control at the fund level, by year. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the fund level of detail
for each year of the biennium. Transfers or revisions within funds are allowed, but only the City Council has the
legal authority to increase or decrease a given fund’s budget. Any unspent operating appropriations automatically
lapse at the end of each fiscal year, except for any amounts that are continued through the City’s annual adopted
carry‐forward ordinance. The carry‐forward ordinance also identifies unspent capital appropriations to be carried
forward into the following year.

CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
Change in Fund Balance
The 2021‐22 adopted budget will result in a net decrease in fund balance of $13.3 million citywide. The change is
a combination of projected loss of revenue associated with COVID‐19 pandemic, capital project funding timing (all
capital project related funds, as well as enterprise funds), planned increase in reserves for replacements
(Equipment Rental Fund), planned use of reserve contingencies (Insurance Fund) and increases to employee
benefits.

2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 34Executive Summary - Long Range Plan
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET
The City’s fiscal policy requires the City to prepare a long‐term projection for General Governmental and other
funds as deemed necessary. The City prepares projections for tax‐supported Governmental funds as well as rate‐
supported utility funds. The purposes are similar: to ensure operations, as well as maintaining capital assets, are
sustainable with taxes and utility rate revenues. These plans allow the City to proactively manage and implement
corrective measures over time to avoid sudden drastic changes in service levels or in revenue/tax policies.
In addition, the City’s fiscal policy requires a balanced budget, with operating costs covered by operating revenues.
While the policy does not require a balanced budget in the projected period beyond the current budget years, the
intent is to adjust current operations to a sustainable level within the projected horizon.
Approximately 77% of General Fund Revenue is from taxes, 29% from sales tax and 21% from property tax alone.
The key revenue assumptions shown in the table above reflect a projection for a healthy economy that will
generate 1.0% of new construction value per year to be added to the property tax roll over the next four years;
however, the property tax levy rate reflects a $1.10/$1,000 AV decrease in 2017 and a $0.46/$1,000 AV decrease
in the levy in 2018 due to the formation of the Regional Fire Authority (RFA). From 2019 forward, the City is
levying an additional $1.1 million in property taxes to fund the annual debt service for a parks capital
improvements LTGO bond issued in 2019. The key assumptions include a strong sales tax growth rate of 2.5%
per year and a B&O tax growth rate of 2% per year. Key expenditure growth drivers are wages, employee
healthcare costs, and state pension costs. The assumption is that wages will grow by the rate of inflation, that
employee healthcare costs will grow by the historical average used as a gauge and taking into account an actuarial
analysis and the need to maintain a minimum of 30% in reserves, and that state pension contributions will increase
from 13.9% to 14.9% over the planning period. These underlying assumptions cannot bring the overall revenue
growth to match the projected expenditure growth. This is the structural deficit that local governments are faced
with and have visited again and again, but no permanent fix is in sight. Unless the State Legislature takes action
to allow property tax to grow by inflation and population growth, this issue will persist into the future.
To solve this problem locally, the City implemented the B&O tax effective January 1, 2016, discussed more fully
below in the “B&O Tax/Business License Fee” section, which allowed General Fund revenue to grow at a rate more
similar to the projected operating expenditures.
MAJOR REVENUES
Property Tax (RCW 84.52)
Annexations and new construction have contributed to substantial growth in the City’s property tax base in the
past decade, but was eroded by the Great Recession. The City’s assessed value (AV) peaked in 2009 at $13.2 billion
when the $2 billion (or 24%) value from Benson Hill annexation was added to our tax base. The Great Recession
eroded the tax base to $10.6 billion by 2013 or by 19% during this period. The valuation improved incrementally
each year by an average of 10.6%. The City’s 2020 assessed value from the King County Assessor’s Office was
$19.9 billion. Preliminary information for the City’s 2021 assessed value was not available at the time of the
printing of this document.
While the assessed value often increases or decreases by a large percentage from year to year, the City’s property
tax revenues do not. This is due to the manner in which Washington State’s property tax collection is determined
and the limitations placed on the amount that can be raised by a governmental entity as determined by state law.
Two basic limitations are the limitation on the tax rate and the limitation on the rate of growth in property tax
revenue.
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 35Executive Summary - Long Range Plan
CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
1. The Tax Rate Limit:
The state constitution establishes the maximum regular property tax levy increase for all taxing districts
combined at 1%, or $10 per $1000, of assessed value of the property. This limitation is further divided by the
RCW to the various taxing districts. For cities served by library and/or fire districts, the tax rate limit is
calculated by deducting the amount levied by the library district (up to $0.50 per thousand dollars AV) and
the fire district (up to $1.50 per thousand dollars AV) from the $3.60 local portion of the levy. For cities that
have a fire pension fund, as does Renton, an additional $0.225 may be levied. Based on this calculation,
Renton’s property tax rate is limited to $3.325 per $1,000 of assessed value.
2. The 1% growth limit in property tax revenue:
Before 2002, a taxing district could increase the property tax levy amount annually by 6% of the amount levied
in the previous year, up to the applicable tax rate limit discussed above. This growth limit was established in
1973 as the Legislature responded to people's concerns that property taxes were rising too fast due to the
real estate boom occurring at that time.
Initiative 747, approved by voters in 2001 and taking effect in 2002, lowered the limit to the lesser of 1% or
inflation. Property tax growth resulting from new construction, changes in value of state‐assessed utility
property, and newly annexed property are exempt from this limit and may be added to the base tax levy. This
growth limit can be "lifted" by voters with a simple majority approval, and the amount can be added to the
levy base permanently for future years if the intent is clearly stated in the ballot measure.
Distribution of Property Tax
Most properties in Renton pay $11.08 per $1000 AV in
2020, of which 10% goes to City services. The
remaining 90% goes to the Renton Regional Fire
Authority (7%), Sound Transit (2%), Renton School
District (32%), King County (12%) for regional services,
the State School fund (27%), King County Library
System (3%), Valley Medical (4%), Port of Seattle (1%),
and Emergency Medical Services (2%). The City’s
portion of property tax is $489 in 2020 on an average
home.

1 - 36Executive Summary - Long Range Plan
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET
Sales Tax (RCW 82.14)
Sales tax is the second largest taxing source for
Renton representing approximately 29% of
General Fund revenue. Renton’s economy
generates approximately $282 million in sales
taxes, but similar to property tax, the City only
receives approximately 10% of the sales tax
revenue generated within Renton. The remaining
90% goes to other government entities and to
support public transit and public facility agencies.
In addition to the local sales tax, the City also
receives a distribution of a voter‐approved
criminal justice sales tax. Up until mid‐2018, the
City also received a 0.1% annexation sales tax for the
annexation of the Benson Hill area in 2008.
The sales tax receipts starting in 2020 were lower due to
closures due to the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic, but
are expect to rebound starting in 2021.
Criminal Justice Sales Tax (RCW 82.14.340)
Criminal justice sales tax is a 0.1% voter‐approved optional
sales tax in King County, collected countywide and
distributed based on population. Because it employs a
more diverse tax base and different distribution formula
than regular sales taxes, this source is typically more stable
and is projected to grow by the inflationary growth plus
population growth.
Composition and Projected Growth
The current year composition of the City’s sales tax is
relatively diverse with general retail representing the
largest portion at 30%, followed by service industry
at 26%, automotive at 17%, construction at 12%,
wholesaling at 7% and manufacturing and
miscellaneous at 6% and 2%, respectively. This is
relatively consistent with historical average with the
exception of services and contracting sectors.
Like many other cities in the state, Renton’s sales tax was one
of the hardest hit revenue sources by the Great Recession with
an overall peak‐to‐through reduction of 18% and a revenue
loss of $3.8 million, and took six years after the recession

CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
ended in 2014 for the sales tax revenue to exceed the peak reached in 2008. As noted above, sales tax was hard
hit again in 2020 as a result of closures due to COVID‐19 pandemic.
The projection of future sales tax growth is based on inflation and population growth. The slower and negative
growth in 2019 reflects the end of the distribution of annexation sales tax credit (mid‐2018). In 2020 the sales
tax has decreased significantly due to the COVID ‐19 pandemic. Many businesses were operating at a lower
capacity during this time. The projection for 2021‐2022 is to show a slow rebound from the impacts of the
pandemic.
Utility Taxes (RCW 82.16)
Cities and towns in Washington State
are authorized to levy a tax on the
gross income derived from sales of
utility services generated within the
city or town; this is known as a utility
tax. The tax rate for electric, phone,
and gas utilities are limited to 6%
without voter approval, with no
limitation on other public utilities.
The City currently levies a 6% utility
tax on phone (both landline and
cellular services), electric, natural gas,
and cable services. City utilities
(water, sewer, storm drainage, and solid waste), pay an interfund utility tax. The current tax rates are 6% for
sewer and 6.8% for water, storm drainage, and garbage (both City operated and franchise provider operated)
services. The additional 0.8% was added during the 2013‐14 budget to generate additional revenue for general
governmental capital projects.
Projections in revenues over the next few years anticipate a slight decrease due to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
The tax revenues are sensitive to overall consumer consumption levels, weather conditions and the general
overall economic conditions. The projections for future years anticipate these revenues will stabilize by 2022
and are projected to grow by population plus inflation.

2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 38Executive Summary - Long Range Plan
OVERVIEW CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET
B&O Tax and Business License Fee
The City of Renton first
implemented a per employee based
business license fee in 1998 with
the rate set at $55 per full‐time
equivalent employee in response to
transportation infrastructure needs
in Renton. Non‐profit and
government organizations are
required to obtain a license but are
exempt from paying this fee. The
$55 per employee rate was
adjusted in 2013 to create a 1) a base fee registration fee of $45; and 2) an increase from $55 per FTE to $65 per
FTE (FTE is defined as each 1,920 worker hours). The 2015 fee increase generated approximately an additional
$625k annually, which is dedicated to Capital Projects. Effective January 1st, 2018, the City repealed the Per
Employee Business License Fee (while concurrently decreasing the threshold for B&O tax from $1.5 million to
$500,000). All businesses are required to pay a business license registration fee at the time of application of $150.
B&O Tax
The adopted budget includes the B&O tax implemented on January 1, 2016. The B&O tax is based on gross receipts
of a business. The key provisions of the B&O tax are:
Businesses with $500,000 or higher annual gross receipts are required to pay B&O tax.
The B&O tax maximum amount paid is capped at $4,723,140 a year (2020) and will automatically be
adjusted annually by inflation.
The tax rate is 0.085% (maximum allowed is 0.2%; statewide average is 0.15%) for all business activities
other than retail, which has a rate of 0.05%; these rates cannot be adjusted by more than the rate of
inflation in any given year.
Provides a three‐year, new employer tax credit for new businesses with 50 or more employees in Renton.
The B&O tax was the only revenue option that City Council could take which generated the funds needed to
maintain general City services. It will provided $3.8 million in additional revenue (net of per employee business
license fee loss) in 2016 and increased to $11 million in 2019. The 2020 year end estimate is projected to
decrease significantly and is estimated to be $4.5 million. The decrease is due to the fact that many local
businesses were impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic, as well as the grounding of the 737Max which has halted
production at the local Boeing plant in Renton. As businesses begin to open back up, the B&O tax is projected to
rebound slowly over the next 2 years. Most of the B&O tax is needed for the General Fund operations. Without
this funding source, the City would need to reduce services from General Fund operations, which would result in
significantly reducing services to the community. The B&O tax and business licenses fees are also used to
partially pay for transportation and general governmental capital improvements.

CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
The State of Washington levies a real estate excise tax (REET) on all sales of
real estate (measured by the full selling price, including the amount of any
liens, mortgages, and other debts given to secure the purchase) at a rate of
1.28%. Local governments are also authorized to impose REET. All cities
and counties may levy a quarter percent tax (described as "the first quarter
percent of the real estate excise tax" or "REET 1"). Cities and counties
planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) have the authority to
levy a second quarter percent tax (“REET 2”). The statute further specifies
that, if a county is required to plan under GMA or if a city is located in such
a county, the tax may be levied by a vote of the legislative body. If,
however, the county chooses to plan under GMA, the tax must be approved
by a majority of the voters.
REET 1 (RCW 82.46.010):
Initially authorized in 1982, cities and counties can use the receipts of REET 1 for all capital purposes. An
amendment in 1992 states that cities and counties with a population of 5,000 or more planning under the GMA
must spend REET 1 receipts solely on capital projects that are listed in the capital facilities plan element of their
comprehensive plan. Capital projects are: “public works projects of a local government for planning, acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets; roads; highways;
sidewalks; street and road lighting systems; traffic signals; bridges; domestic water systems; storm and sanitary
sewer systems; parks; recreational facilities; law enforcement facilities; fire protection facilities; trails; libraries;
administrative and judicial facilities.” Receipts pledged to debt retirement prior to April 1992 and/or spent prior
to June 1992 are grandfathered from this restriction.
REET 2 (RCW 82.46.035):
The second quarter percent of the real estate excise tax (authorized in 1990) provides funding for cities and
counties to finance capital improvements required to occur concurrently with growth under the Growth
Management Act. An amendment in 1992 defines the "capital project" as: "Public works projects of a local
government for planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or
improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges,
domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning, construction, reconstruction, repair,
rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.” Because of this amendment, acquisition of park land was no longer a
permitted use of REET 2 after March 1, 1992.
Another amendment was made in 2011 to allow cities using REET for maintenance purpose for a period of 3 years
as a way to assist cities to cope with general revenue losses due to the Great Recession.

Trend and Projection
The combined two quarter‐percent of the REET
is expected to generate $4.5 million and $4.6
million for 2021 and 2022 respectively. This is
consistent with past amounts with the
exception of 2016, 2017, and 2019 when
several large transactions increased REET
revenue. REET revenue is used for the General
Governmental Debt Service Fund (215),
Transportation CIP Fund (317) and General
Governmental CIP Fund (316).
Gambling Excise Tax (RCW 9.46.110 & 9.46.113)
The City levies gambling taxes as follows:
5% on net receipts for bingo and raffles
2% for amusement games
5% on net receipts for for‐profit
punchboards and pull‐tabs
10% on gross receipts for card rooms
All rates are the maximum authorized by state
statute, except for the card rooms, which has a
maximum rate of 20%. The State Legislature began
allowing the operation of "enhanced card rooms" or
mini‐casinos on non‐tribal land on a pilot basis in 1997 and on a permanent basis in the spring of 2000. This
activity provided a significant revenue source for Renton, which generates about 80% of the City’s gambling taxes.
The remaining 21% are made up of pull‐tabs and bingo.
Revenues from these activities are required to be used primarily for the purpose
of gambling enforcement (RCW 9.46.113). Case law has clarified that "primarily"
means "first be used" for gambling law enforcement purposes to the extent
necessary for that city. The remaining funds may be used for any general
government purpose. The City designates Gambling Tax revenue as a law
enforcement resource.
Gambling revenues remained relatively stable for many years until 2010 when
two gambling establishments went out of business. The City’s 2013 revenue took another hit as one of the
remaining card rooms had financial problems and went into bankruptcy protection in early 2014. A buyer acquired
the business and gambling tax revenue reached $1.6 million in 2014, and stabilized at approximately $2.8 million
thereafter. Gambling revenues are expected to decrease significantly in 2020 due to the gambling establishments
forced to close during the pandemic. This tax is expected to stabilize at $2.0 million and $2.4 million for the
planning period.
The City’s current gambling tax also exempts raffles and bingos held by non‐profit organizations insofar as the
revenue received is used for charitable purposes. This modification has a negligible effect on gambling tax
revenue.

LICENSES AND PERMITS
Permit and Development Fees
Permit and development revenues were one of the most severely impacted revenues by the Great Recession. The
overall decline peak‐to‐trough is 54%. The bottom was reached in 2009 and has since seen a gradual recovery.
There was a small market rate fee adjustment in 2019. After making a significant adjustment after two decades
of no‐adjustments in 2010, the City changed its practice to maintain a more gradual, stable pattern of fee
adjustments for the future. The adopted 2021‐2022 budget project a decrease in development fees in 2020 and
2021 due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Projections beyond the current budget reflect a rebound in revenue for
2022 and cyclical fluctuations in anticipation of potential economic changes.
Franchise Fees
Franchise fees are charges levied on private utility companies to recoup
the City’s costs for their use of City streets and other public properties.
The franchise fees on electric, natural gas, and telephone utilities are
limited by statute to the actual administrative expenses incurred by the
City directly related to receiving and approving permits, licenses, or
franchisees. Cable TV franchise fees are governed by the Federal Cable
Communications Policy Act of 1994 and are negotiated with cable
companies for an amount not to exceed 5% of gross revenues, which is
the primary source of the City’s franchise fee revenue. We are estimating
a decrease in 2020 due to the impacts of the pandemic but expect to see a gradual rebound in the next few years
with a long‐term projection of a relatively flat revenue increase.
Intergovernmental Revenues (State‐Shared Revenues)
Intergovernmental revenues include state‐shared revenues, governmental grants and miscellaneous transfers
and, up until the formation of the Regional Fire Authority in 2016, revenue from inter‐governmental service
contracts such as the Fire and Emergency Services contracts with Fire District 25 (since 1996) and Fire District 40
(since 2008). The following information is primarily intergovernmental revenues in the City’s operating funds.
There are also substantial grant revenues in the capital project funds, particularly for transportation and parks
improvement projects.
The state‐shared revenues are from taxes and fees collected by the state and disbursed to municipalities based
on population or other criteria. In the past, the primary sources of these state‐shared revenues are fuel tax (tax

on gasoline consumption), liquor sales profit, and excise tax. This resource once provided 14% of the City’s
operational funds, but has decreased to just a little over 3%, mainly due to the elimination of the Motor Vehicle
Excise Tax (MVET) and the $30 limit on vehicle license fees. The remaining intergovernmental revenues (fuel taxes,
liquor tax, liquor profits, and criminal justice) reflect consistent or slight increases since 2015.
The amount of grant revenue fluctuates greatly from year to year. The base grant amount reflects the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and a couple of small public safety grants. The higher amount in 2014‐2015
timeframe reflects the SAFER and COPS grants used to restore six police and 9 firefighter positions during the
Great Recession.
Charge for Services
Charges for services include revenue
generated from services provided to the
general public (including recreation fees,
facility rental fees), certain public safety
services, as well as services provided
internally between City departments
(Interfund Services) that are not operated
through Internal Service Fund structure.
This source has been impacted by the
pandemic with an expected overall
decrease of 23% in 2020 and is expected to
rebound in 2022 to generate
approximately $9 million per year.
Parks and Recreation Fees
Overall, recreation fees are generated from recreation classes, athletic programs, leagues and field rentals, senior
activity center, community center, and aquatic center fees and rentals. In 2020 this revenue source is projected
to decrease 70% from prior years as the City was required to close its recreation centers in March due to the
pandemic. This revenue source is expected to rebound to the pre‐pandemic figures in 2022.

Public Safety Services
Public Safety services revenue includes private
security, electronic home detention, passport
processing, court cost recovery and miscellaneous
services. The revenue is projected to be $1.4
million for 2020, a decrease of 10% from prior year
as many of these services have not been available
due to the pandemic. A rebound of these revenues
are expected over the next two years.
Interfund Services
In addition to activities accounted for in the Internal Service Funds that are fully allocated to all operating
departments, the City also has two types of interfund transactions that are intended to reimburse service costs
incurred by one fund while services are consumed by another.
1) Indirect Cost: All enterprise funds are required to reimburse the General Fund for overhead costs such as
accounting, human resources, records management, legal, and administrative expenses; and
2) Soft Capital Transfer: This is for staff time spent on capital projects for design, engineering, inspection,
project management and sometimes small project construction.
The indirect cost is determined through a cost allocation model using transaction volume, number of full‐time
employees, and size of budget as determining factors. The “soft capital” transfers are based on actual labor and
material costs incurred. The revenue is projected to be $4.7 million for 2021, slightly lower than 2020 projected.
Fines and Forfeits
Fines and forfeits account for civil and
criminal penalties as authorized by the
state and adopted by the City code and
collected through the Renton Municipal
Court.
The City implemented the Photo‐
Enforcement system at high collision
intersections and at school zones during
the fall of 2008, and 2009 revenue was
the first full year’s operation of the system. The revenue declined in 2013 and 2014 due to the temporary
suspension of enforcement in one major intersection because of road construction and the removal of one school
zone camera. In 2015, the City added a few more cameras, which resulted in a small increase in revenues. In
2018, the City added eight more cameras which resulted in an additional $1.1 million projected revenue increase.
The 2020 decrease of 30% from prior year was again from the suspension of school zone cameras with schools
closed from the COVID‐19 pandemic. These revenues are expected to rebound once schools are open to students
again.

Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenues include interest income, cellular tower site rentals, donations, sales of documents, etc.
The majority of the revenue is investment interest income; however, the Treasury note is yielding near the
historical low. Revenue is expected to remain low in the near future.
Enterprise Funds
UTILITY RATES
Water and Sewer Rates
The water, sewer, and
surface water rates fund all
of the costs associated with
providing these services, as
well as necessary capital
improvements to these
utility systems. Other
sources, including hookup
fees, development charges,
grants, etc., are also
available, but are limited,
unpredictable, and primarily
related to the capital programs. Due to the increased costs of maintaining the systems, regulatory requirements,
and higher general operating costs, the City continuously reviews these rates and makes adjustments as needed.
Rate Related Fiscal Policy
During the summer of 2010, the City Council adopted a set of fiscal policies to guide future rate setting for all City
utilities. These policies address minimum fund balances, as well as the financing of capital improvements in the
future. Specifically, the policies rely on rates to finance preservation of existing systems and only use bonding to
finance system capacity improvements. This capital financing policy required a substantial rate increase in 2011
and 2012 to provide for consistent system replacement/reinvestment. The rate model was updated in 2020
showing a rate increase for 2021 to include a 4% increase in residential garbage rates and a 2% increase for all
other City utilities. Modest rate increases beyond 2021‐22 biennium are projected and are in line with the utilities’
historical rate increases.
In addition to the adopted City rate increases, King County Metro (which provides sewer treatment) is proposing
a 4.5% rate increase in 2021 and no increase in 2022.

CITY OF RENTON 2021‐2022 BIENNIAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
Maplewood Golf Course
The City’s Maplewood Golf Course Fund was created by
Ordinance 3884 in 1985. Maplewood Golf Course is owned
and operated by the City. The golf course is also a water utility
resource as it is the location of City wells that provide drinking
water to our community. The use of this space as a golf course
helps preserve the quality of the well water for future
generations.
The course is managed by the Community Services Department and is operated as a separate enterprise fund of
the City as a fully self‐sustained operation. The Golf Course refunded $1.85 million in revenue bonds with an
interfund loan from the City at the true interest cost of 2.24% in 2010. This interfund loan was repaid in full by
2015 and freed up around $400,000 per year for operations and capital programs. The capital funds are used
primarily on a pay‐as‐you‐go basis for additional
improvement to the golf course.
The green fees are in line with other municipal courses
in neighboring communities.

compliance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that
must be satisfied with respect to tax‐exempt bonds and other obligations ("bonds") after the bonds are
issued so that interest on the bonds will be and remain tax‐exempt.

The City Council of the City has the overall, final responsibility for monitoring whether the City is in
compliance with post‐issuance federal tax requirements for the City's tax‐exempt bonds. However, the

responsibility to monitor the City's compliance with post‐issuance federal tax requirements for the City's
tax‐exempt bonds.

2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 55Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies
ii. expenditures made with bond proceeds (including investment earnings on bond proceeds) for
the governmental purposes of the bonds, such as for the costs of purchasing, constructing
and/or renovating property and facilities;
iii. information showing, where applicable for a particular calendar year, that the City was eligible
to be treated as a "small issuer" in respect of bonds issued in that calendar year because the City
did not reasonably expect to issue more than $5,000,000 of tax‐exempt bonds in that calendar
year;
iv. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") upon
an audit of a bond issue that, where applicable, the City has complied with an available spending
exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement in respect of that bond issue;
v. calculations that will be sufficient to demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of a bond issue for
which no exception to the arbitrage rebate requirement was applicable, that the rebate
amount, if any, that was payable to the United States of America in respect of investments
made with gross proceeds of that bond issue was calculated and timely paid with Form 8038‐T
timely filed with the IRS; and
vi. information and records showing that investments held in yield‐restricted advance refunding or
defeasance escrows for bonds, and investments made with unspent bond proceeds after the
expiration of the applicable temporary period, were not invested in higher‐yielding investments.
d. Restrictions on Private Business Use and Private Loans.
The Administrative Services Administrator shall adopt procedures that are calculated to educate and
inform the principal operating officials of those departments, including utility departments, if any, of the
City (the "users") for which land, buildings, facilities and equipment ("property") are financed with
proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds about the restrictions on private business use that apply to that property
after the bonds have been issued, and of the restriction on the use of proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds to
make or finance any loan to any person other than a state or local government unit. In particular,

shall provide to the users of the property a copy of this Compliance Policy and other appropriate written
guidance advising that:
i. "private business use" means use by any person other than a state or local government unit,

corporations, natural persons engaged in trade or business activity, and the United States of
America and any federal agency, as a result of ownership of the property or use of the property
under a lease, management or service contract (except for certain "qualified" management or
service contracts), output contract for the purchase of electricity or water, privately sponsored
research contract (except for certain "qualified" research contracts), "naming rights" contract,
"public‐private partnership" arrangement, or any similar use arrangement that provides special
legal entitlements for the use of the bond‐financed property;
ii. under section 141 of the Code, no more than 10% of the proceeds of any tax‐exempt bond issue
(including the property financed with the bonds) may be used for private business use, of which
no more than 5% of the proceeds of the tax‐exempt bond issue (including the property financed
with the bonds) may be used for any "unrelated" private business use‐that is, generally, a
private business use that is not functionally related to the governmental purposes of the bonds;
and no more than the lesser of $5,000,000 or 5% of the proceeds of a tax‐exempt bond issue
may be used to make or finance a loan to any person other than a state or local government
unit;
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 56Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies
iii. before entering into any special use arrangement with a nongovernmental person that involves
the use of bond‐financed property, the user must consult with the Administrative Services
Administrator, provide the Administrative Services Administrator with a description of the
proposed nongovernmental use arrangement, and determine whether that use arrangement, if
put into effect, will be consistent with the restrictions on private business use of the bond‐
financed property;
iv. in connection with the evaluation of any proposed nongovernmental use arrangement, the
Administrative Services Administrator should consult with nationally recognized bond counsel to
the City as may be necessary to obtain federal tax advice on whether that use arrangement, if
put into effect, will be consistent with the restrictions on private business use of the bond‐
financed property, and, if not, whether any "remedial action" permitted under section 141 of
the Code may be taken by the City as a means of enabling that use arrangement to be put into
effect without adversely affecting the tax‐exempt status of the bonds that financed the
property; and
v. the Administrative Services Administrator and the user of the property shall maintain records of
such nongovernmental uses, if any, of bond‐financed property, including copies of the pertinent
leases, contracts or other documentation, and the related determination that those
nongovernmental uses are not inconsistent with the tax‐exempt status of the bonds that
financed the property.
e. Records to be Maintained for Tax‐Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the City that, unless otherwise permitted by future IRS regulations or other guidance,
written records (which may be in electronic form) will be maintained with respect to each bond issue for
as long as those bonds remain outstanding, plus three years. For this purpose, the bonds include
refunding bonds that refund the original bonds and thereby refinance the property that was financed by
the original bonds. The records to be maintained are to include:
i. the official Transcript of Proceedings for the original issuance of the bonds;
ii. records showing how the bond proceeds were invested, as described in ci above;
iii. records showing how the bond proceeds were spent, as described in cii above, including
purchase contracts, construction contracts, progress payment requests, invoices, cancelled
checks, payment of bond issuance costs, and records of "allocations" of bond proceeds to make
reimbursement for project expenditures made before the bonds were actually issued;
iv. information, records and calculations showing that, with respect to each bond issue, the City
was eligible for the "small issuer" exception or one of the spending exceptions to the arbitrage
rebate requirement or, if not, that the rebate amount, if any, that was payable to the United
States of America in respect of investments made with gross proceeds of that bond issue was
calculated and timely paid with Form 8038‐T timely filed with the IRS, as described in ciii, civ and
cv above; and
v. records showing that special use arrangements, if any, affecting bond‐financed property made
by the City with nongovernmental persons, if any, are consistent with applicable restrictions on
private business use of property financed with proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds and restrictions on
the use of proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds to make or finance loans to any person other than a
state or local government unit, as described in 4 above.
The basic purpose of the foregoing record retention policy for the City's tax‐exempt bonds is to
enable the City to readily demonstrate to the IRS upon an audit of any tax‐exempt bond issue that
the City has fully complied with all federal tax requirements that must be satisfied after the issue
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
1 - 57Executive Summary - Financial Management Policies
date of the bonds so that interest on those bonds continues to be tax‐exempt under section 103 of
the Code.
f. Identification and Remediation of Potential Violations of Federal Tax Requirements for Tax‐Exempt
Bonds.
i. So long as any of the Issuer’s tax‐exempt bond issues remain outstanding, the Administrative
Services Administrator will periodically consult with the users of the Issuer’s bond‐financed
property to review and determine whether current use arrangements involving that property
continue to comply with applicable federal tax requirements as described in these Compliance
Procedures. This may be accomplished, for example, by periodically meeting with users,
providing questionnaires to users about current use arrangements, or adopting other protocols
reasonable calculated to ensure compliance with applicable federal tax requirements on a
continuing basis. This periodic review may be scheduled, for example, at or before the times
that the Issuer is required to file with Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board the annual
financial information and operating data pursuant to the Issuer’s undertaking, if any, to provide
continuing disclosure with respect to outstanding bond issues.
ii. If at any time during the life of an issue of tax‐exempt bonds, the Issuer discovers a violation of
federal tax requirements applicable to that issue may have occurred, the Administrative Services
Administrator will consult with bond counsel to determine whether any such violation actually
has occurred and, if so, take prompt action to accomplish an available remedial action under
applicable Internal Revenue Service under the Voluntary Closing Agreement Program described
under Notice 2008‐31 or other future published guidance.
g. Education Policy With Respect to Federal Tax Requirements for Tax‐Exempt Bonds.
It is the policy of the City that the Administrative Services Administrator and his or her staff, as well as
the principal operating officials of those departments of the City for which property is financed with
proceeds of tax‐exempt bonds should be provided with education and training on federal tax
requirements applicable to tax‐exempt bonds. The City recognizes that such education and training is
vital as a means of helping to ensure that the City remains in compliance with those federal tax
requirements in respect of its bonds. The City therefore will enable and encourage those personnel to
attend and participate in educational and training programs offered by, among others, the Washington
Municipal Treasurers Association and the Washington Finance Officers Association with regard to the
federal tax requirements applicable to tax‐exempt bonds.

Introduction
Renton Results began as the City of Renton’s budget framework and performance improvement initiative that
originated in 2007. Our intent has been to clearly inform the community about the various services provided by the
City, the costs of those services, and the results of our efforts. The purpose was also to inform policy decisions and
provide transparency and accountability to our community.
Since then, the Renton Results effort has expanded beyond data collection to include organizational elements such as high
performance leadership development, process improvement, inclusive facilitation and engagement, and more. These
elements are designed to equip and empower employees (at all levels) to bring necessary change and innovation to their
service of both internal and external customers. As the Business Plan goals have changed over time, so has the focus of
the Renton Results effort, demonstrating the City’s ability to be responsive and resilient through change and our
commitment to continuous learning and improvement.
How are we doing?
In the following pages you’ll see the metrics gathered by programs that may demonstrate their productivity and/or
effectiveness. While data alone cannot offer a complete picture of each program, it can help tell the story of the city’s
efforts to serve the community while reflecting the impact of events or circumstances over time.
Who is involved in Renton Results?
All levels of staff are involved in identifying and/or tracking performance measures and data.
City Goals
The City Council adopts a six year strategic plan to focus City efforts in the direction of the City’s vision to be the center of
opportunity in the Puget Sound Region where families and businesses thrive. The current Business Plan can also be
found on our website by searching for Business Plan.
The City’s Mission Statement identifies the following goals towards which all City operations, in partnership and
communication with residents, businesses, and schools are aligned:
•Provide a safe, healthy, vibrant community
•Promote economic vitality and strategically position Renton for the future
•Support planned growth and influence decisions to foster environmental sustainability
•Build an inclusive informed city with equitable outcomes for all in support of social, economic, and racial justice
•Meet service demands and provide high quality customer service

2 - 1Renton Results - Budget Framework
City Service Areas
The City’s budget, through the Renton Results framework, is the mechanism in place to ensure the work of the City is
aligned with the City’s Mission and Business Plan goals. Because City departments perform a wide variety of work, often
partnering with other departments, the true cost of these services can be difficult to identify in a traditionally presented
budget, by fund and/or department, which requires citizens to piece together the overall cost.
To solve this problem, we prepare our budget in a manner that allows us to present the full cost of the services provided
within each of our six service areas. Per our adopted 2021-2022 budget (operating plus capital):
Safety and Health: Seven of our departments operate seventeen programs in support of this City Service Area. It
makes up about 28% of the operating budget and employs about 203 people to perform the work. This is
approximately $474-$487 per person.
Representative Government: Six of our departments operate thirteen programs in support of this City Service
Area. It makes up about 5% of our operating budget and employs 43 people to perform the work. This is
approximately $88-92 per person.
Livable Community: Two of our departments operate seventeen programs in support of this City Service Area. It
makes up about 11% of our operating budget and employs 77 people (excluding seasonal) to perform the work.
This is approximately $208-210 per person.
Mobility: A single department operates twelve programs in support of this City Service Area. It makes up about
9% of our operating budget and employs 68 people (excluding seasonal) to perform the work. This is
approximately $167-169 per person.
Utilities & Environment: Three of our departments operate seventeen programs in support of this City Service
Area. It makes up about 44% of our operating budget and employs 123 people to perform the work. This is
approximately $797-922 per person.
Internal Support: Seven of our departments operate twenty four programs in support of this City Service Area. It
makes up about 4%* of our operating budget and employs 101 people to perform the work. This is approximately
$89-93 per person. *excluding debt, separation benefits and retiree medical.
How much do these services cost per person annually?
The chart below shows a comparison of costs per person at the 2021-2022 adopted service levels by City Service Area.
The total cost in 2021-2022 is about $1,831-$1,966 per person based on current population count of 104,076.
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
2 - 2Renton Results - Budget Framework
Resource Allocation by City Service Area versus traditional budget
Renton Results program expenses are presented by City Service Area as consolidated costs across departments and funds.
Within Renton Results, we have adjusted for transfers and inter-fund transactions where double counting occurs in
traditional “Fund” based budgeting. As a result, the dollar amounts for Renton Results and the traditional budget are not
the same.
For example, the costs of the City’s internal service funds are shown under “Internal Support” category and are also
included in the direct service areas by those Departments that use these internal services. To compensate for this, we are
deducting the amount that has been accounted for in direct services at the bottom line level to show the net operating
and capital budget only in the Renton Results section.
How much do these services cost in total?

Summary and Detail
Desired Results – Strategies – KPI’s – Programs -
Measures - Resources
As described earlier, the City Service Areas are broad in nature and are supported by a number of City programs across
multiple City departments.
The following pages will provide summary and detailed information for each of our City Service Areas. You will find a
complete list of programs, the adopted budget and performance measurements with results where available. Some of
the terms you will see are defined below.
Desired Results
Each City Service Area is best defined by the associated “I want” statement or the desired Results.
•Safety and Health: I want a safe and healthy community
•Representative Government: I want a responsive and responsible government
•Livable Community: I want access to high quality facilities, services and public resources that enrich the lives of
everyone in the community
•Mobility: I want safe and efficient access to all desired destinations, now and in the future
•Utilities and Environment: I want to live, learn, work and play in a clean and green environment with reliable,
affordable utility service
•Internal Support: I want City departments to have the means to operate efficiently and effectively in a safe and
sustainable manner
Strategies
Strategies answer the question: “How does the City plan to work toward and achieve these desired results. You will find
these listed above each of the summary and performance measure sections of the City Services.
This visual representation of the Safety and Health City Service Area, for example, illustrates the relationship between the
defined strategies and reaching the desired result. Programs within this Service Area are aligned with these strategies.
I want Renton to be a safe and healthy community
Encourage the community to comply with local, state and federal laws
Encouragement of a self reliant community through programs and education
Timely responsiveness and “projection of effort,” when the community cannot help itself
Recovery and restoration of the community after a disaster
2021/2022 Adopted Budget City of Renton, Washington
2 - 4Renton Results - Renton Results Overview
Programs
Programs are an organizational or work unit of a City department or division that provides a specific service or product to
citizens or other customers. Many employees are assigned and budgeted across multiple programs and many of these
programs work together to provide a product or service to the citizens and other City customers. Not all work performed
by the City is specifically identified as a Program; however, all programs are budgeted based on services provided by the
program’s core mission or purpose.
Program Metrics
Program metrics are tools put into place by the program staff and managers and reviewed by the Administrators and
Executive office in order to assure alignment of efforts within the Departments. As stated before, not all work processes
are captured within Renton Results but rather Program Metrics are select points of data that represent the work
performed in a way that can be a useful illustration of effectiveness or impact when tracked and monitored.
Targets
Program Targets are a guideline or goal for each Program Measure. We work hard to communicate that targets are not
to be used as a “hammer” but rather as a standard which staff can strive to achieve within the framework of their
resources. There are many factors that may influence the results for Programs such as weather, the economy, staff
turnover and demand.
Conclusion
Renton Results is the framework of our budget process that allows for transparent, informed and thoughtful consideration
in the allocation of our resources. It allows decision makers to see the cost of services in a meaningful way and allows
program prioritization and resources allocation to be based on the priorities established by the City’s Mission and Goals.
In addition, the Renton Results effort seeks to develop and support efforts that will enable the City to quickly identify and
respond to opportunities for improvement in processes and service delivery.
Because the Budget by Department and Budget by Fund sections of this document include such transfers and inter-fund transactions the last page of this
section includes a full reconciliation to the Total Budget.

others are more qualitative indicating customer satisfaction, and many intend to show efficiency and effectiveness. It should be noted for those that are marked
"N/A" indicate a metric for which data is not yet available. This could be due to a number of reasons including changes in staffing and/or information systems in
place to collect the data. These metrics remain in this report as it is the intent of the program to provide the data when possible. The staff within the programs develop their own metrics and provide the data for reporting purposes.

Emergency Management, Executive Department
The activities of the program are driven both by mandates and by best practices in the emergency management profession. The primary activities of the program address the legal requirements specified in the WAC and in the
grant guidance and the result is development and coordination of emergency plans, design and deployment of required training and exercises, maintenance of certain communication and warning capabilities, public education and relay of emergency information, emergency response through the activation of the Emergency Operations Center, identification and analysis of local hazards, and hazmat response and notification. The ultimate outcome is a
more effective and coordinated emergency response on the part of the City, increased disaster resilience of residents and businesses, the engagement of volunteers, and leveraging of public and private partnerships to serve the
community better and more cost- effectively during and after a disaster.
No change is Adopted to the Emergency Management budget. A recent change in 2019 resulted in shifting one FTE who was partially grant-underwritten to be fully funded by the city budget. This has continued in 2020 and will be maintained in the 2021-22 budget.

Community Development Block Grant, Community Services Department
The City of Renton receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These are federal funds that go from HUD to King County to Renton via an agreement. It is money in/money out at no cost to the City. Funds can be used for public services, community development, economic development, and construction of public facilities. There are very specific and stringent
requirements at the federal and county level for what activities the funds can be used.
Since 2015, CDBG funding has been used to promote economic development activities. From 2015-2019 the City offered the Downtown Commercial Rehabilitation and Façade Improvement Loan Program (FILP) using CDBG
funds. The program was closed out in 2019 after providing $601,497 in matching funds for façade improvements. Funding was then shifted to the Public Facilities and Improvements Program for Downtown/South Renton ("Downtown Streetscapes improvements").

Serving vulnerable/low income, Community Services Department
Helping Renton residents and vulnerable populations be self- sufficient, contributing members of society and able to maintain their independence to the best of their abilities is what the Human Services Division is all about. We
provide information and referrals to connect people to services and refer them to 211 for additional assistance. Typical calls cover landlord tenant issues, food assistance, housing repair needs or how to get assistance with rent or utilities as well as where to find shelter or a place to shower. Renton funds are allocated to agencies that are contractually obligated to serve Renton residents. These agencies help provide resources so children can be ready for
school, they provide for basic quality of life needs and help prevent homelessness, as well as addressing domestic violence and sexual assault.

Programs, Resources and Results
The following programs have provided metrics ("Results") to indicate the results of their efforts. Each metric is unigue ‐ some are simply counts of data points,
others are more qualitative indicating customer satisfaction, and many intend to show efficiency and effectiveness. It should be noted for those that are
marked "N/A" indicate a metric for which data is not yet available. This could be due to a number of reasons including changes in staffing and/or information
systems in place to collect the data. These metrics remain in this report as it is the intent of the program to provide the data when possible. The staff within the programs develop their own metrics and provide the data for reporting purposes.

Farmers Market, Community Services Department
Every Tuesday June through September, the Renton Farmers Market (RFM) is held in Downtown Renton's Piazza Park. An average of over 3,000 people attend the Market each week and have access to more than 60 unique vendors who sell a wide array of fresh, locally grown products, including fruits and vegetables, cut flowers, meats, herbs, baked goods and honey in addition to artisan and craft vendors and Washington wineries and
breweries . There is live entertainment each week, as well as a Kids Patch, which allows children and their parents to engage in activities such as art projects.
Master Gardeners are available to help visitors with questions and a Taste of Renton program allows Renton restaurants to showcase their business and menu items and cooking demonstrations featuring market fresh produce. A community booth allows community organizations to share information. To help meet the needs of all of our customers, the RFM accepts Women, Infants and Children (WIC) vouchers as well as Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) vouchers that can be used at the markets. Additionally, an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) token program allows shoppers to use SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
benefits at the Market, and a 'SNAP Market Match' incentive gives those shoppers a dollar‐for‐dollar match of those benefits to be used on fresh produce at the Market.

The Recreation and Neighborhoods Division creates, produces, and executes City coordinated events, non-city permitted events, cultural programs, neighborhood grants, and engagement with the community. Events that are coordinated by the City are inclusive of all ages, abilities and cultures, promote civic participation, foster community pride and build community connections for all. Examples of city produced events include 4th of July at Coulon,
Holiday Lights, Renton River Days (co-coordinated with Renton River Days Board),summer movie and concert series, bike rodeo, Truck-or-Treat, neighborhood events, and other such events, both large and small.
Non-City permitted events bring revenue and new audiences to the City, to help promote Renton as a progressive, opportunity-rich city in the Puget Sound region. The Recreation and Neighborhood Division manages this
permitting process by leading a multi-departmental committee to ensure the event is safe for both the public, and reduces risk and mitigates exposure to the city. Over 70 non-city events are permitted each year, such as Seahawks Training Camp, large scale running events and bike rides, cultural programs, and Return to Renton Annual Car Show.
The Recreation and Neighborhoods Division community engagement efforts serve as on outlet to provide critical and relevant information on a timely basis, and helps facilitate two-way dialogue between the City of Renton and
its residents. The Division hosts community conversations and solicits public feedback in variety of ways for the purposes of improving and guiding our operations to be a reflection of our community's interests. Another form of community engagement is The City of Renton Neighborhood Grant Program. This program provides engagement opportunities and grant resources for creating vibrant, healthy, and connected communities through collaborative
efforts between residents and the City.

Recreational Facilities, Community Services Department
Our Recreation facilities, which includes the Renton Community Center, Highlands Neighborhood Center, along with several smaller neighborhood park buildings (North Highlands, Tiffany, Teasdale, and Kennydale Parks) are all
community assets. The Renton Community Center is a central resource center for the community offering a place where patrons can conduct a wide variety of City business transactions and information. This requires staff to be versatile and aware of all the City has to offer in addition to knowledge of the Recreation and Neighborhoods Division.
Programming offered to the public at the Renton Community Center includes: adult and youth athletic programming, outdoor programming, information and assistance, health, fitness, and wellness programs, social and
recreational activities, educational and arts programs, intergenerational programs, adaptive programming, pre-school programming, private rentals, public meetings, and special events. The Community Center is a connector to the City providing a gathering space that is used by the Renton School District, local non-profits, regional and state government agencies, businesses, and the City of Renton itself. The center does so by providing space for meetings, celebrations, forums, and trainings.
Our Highlands Neighborhood Center and North Highlands Neighborhood Center provide quality afterschool programming and youth summer camps. The North Highlands Neighborhood Center houses in one wing of the center
the Co-op Sunshine Preschool Program during the school year. The larger portion of the center with the classrooms and gymnasium houses recreational programming during afterschool hours and summer camps. The Highlands Neighborhood Center in 2017 received a King County Best Starts for Kids grant over 3 years in the amount of $520,560 for its STREAM program (Science, Technology, Recreation, Engineering, Arts, and Math). The Highlands
Neighborhood Center is the backbone of programming by providing space for recreation services, a nutritious snack (lunch during the summer program), and coordination of enrichment activities, for a low-resource section of the community.

Target
The City of Renton receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These are federal funds that go from HUD to King County to Renton via an
agreement. It is money in/money out at no cost to the City. Funds can be used for public services, community development, economic development, and construction of public facilities. There are very specific and stringent
requirements at the federal and county level for what activities the funds can be used.
Since 2015, CDBG funding has been used to promote economic development activities. From 2015-2019 the City offered the Downtown Commercial Rehabilitation and Façade Improvement Loan Program (FILP) using CDBG funds. The program was closed out in 2019 after providing $601,497 in matching funds for façade improvements. Funding was then shifted to the Public Facilities and Improvements Program for Downtown/South Renton
("Downtown Streetscapes improvements").

Building the Mobility Network, Public Works Department
The City Council, through a public hearing process and in compliance with state law, annually adopts a program for creating the linked, comprehensive network for mobility which is called the 6- Year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The TIP is a multi-year planning tool that identifies transportation-related projects and programs which are, or may become, eligible for federal, state and/or local funding. The TIP updates transportation projects and programs within the City that support the mission and vision of the City, must include new or enhanced bicycle or pedestrian facilities or other applicable changes that promote non-motorized transit, and reflect the
involvement of the public and the City's elected officials. This program is based on mandated City commitments that are in compliance with the state's Growth Management Act (GMA) and requires that the City provide transportation facilities (the mobility network) to serve the projected growth.
Transportation projects include streets, bridges, and trails. Once adequate funding has been obtained for a project, the design process begins. Most of the City's Transportation capital improvement projects are partially funded with Federal Highway Administration grants. The design of such projects must meet the requirements of the Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) Manual in both process and design. The Washington Department of Transportation
Design Manual must be followed as well as various publications of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. A consultant is acquired following the process set forth in the LAG Manual and used to design and prepare construction documents for the project. The design process includes environmental permitting, compliance with ADA requirements (2011 PROWAG, 36 CFR Part 1190), and right of way acquisition. Acquisition
of property for right of way must follow the Uniform Act (23 CFR 710 and 42 USC Ch. 61) and the Washington Department of Transportation Right of Way Manual.
Once the environmental permitting is complete, the Right of Way has been certified, and the plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate have been approved, the project can be advertised for bids. The bidding process is controlled by the LAG Manual, the Washington Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, the APWA General Special Provisions, the Revised Code of Washington, and City of Renton Municipal Code and Policies. Bids
are received and evaluated for compliance with the above. The Washington Department of Transportation Local Programs reviews the apparent low bid for compliance with Underutilized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(UDBE) regulations and the presence of Form FHWA-1273. Because construction documentation has become so complex and demanding, a consultant is also acquired

Transit Coordination/Transportation Demand Management, Public Works Department
The Transit Coordination/Transportation Demand Management Program supports actions to reduce single-occupant vehicle commuting at all major worksites in the City of Renton, which includes helping major employers implement their own programs. The Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law was passed by the Washington State Legislature to address traffic congestion, air pollution and fuel consumption. Commute trip reduction laws target
worksites with 100 or more full-time employees who commute during peak hours. Worksites develop and manage their own programs based on transportation demand management (TDM) strategies identified as having the highest impact for their employees, and locally adopted goals for reducing vehicle trips and miles traveled. TDM describes programs and projects that emphasize using existing transportation infrastructure to enhance mobility
and transportation system efficiency. These projects use techniques like education, incentives and disincentives to reduce the need for vehicles trips, the distance of trips, and to shift to higher occupancy modes like transit and other forms of ridesharing.

NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit Public Education, Outreach and Public Involvement and Participation Program
This program consists of the development and implementation of a public education outreach and involvement program as required by the Department of Ecology's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase
II Municipal Stormwater Permit issued in accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act and Washington State Water Pollution Control Law. The NPDES permit requires the Surface Water Utility, in coordination with other City departments, to implement an education and outreach program that is designed to achieve measurable improvements in the public's understanding of surface water management; associated water quality; habitat and flow
control problems; and what they can do to solve or reduce the problems. The education and outreach efforts are to be targeted to the general public, businesses, residents, landscapers, property managers, engineers, contractors, developers, development permit review staff and planners. Additionally, the program needs to measure the understanding and adoption of targeted behaviors for at least one target audience in at least one subject area. The public involvement and participation has to include ongoing opportunities for public involvement through advisory councils, public hearings, watershed committees, participation in developing rate-structures,
stewardship programs, environmental activities or other similar activities. It shall include providing required state and local public notice as part of the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) required by the NPDES permit. The NPDES permit required annual report and SWMP must be made available to the public on our website.

The Wastewater Engineering and Planning program consists of six primary functions to meet the needs of the Wastewater Collection System. The Capital Improvement Program provides for infrastructure needs including sewer mains and lift stations. Planning activities provide the ability to evaluate current operations of the system as well as identify future needs both from growth and aging system replacement. Another critical element to this program
is our GIS/Mapping/Hydraulic Modeling functions that provide the data needs and hydraulic analysis for the system. A fats/oil/grease (FOG) and industrial waste element helps to maximize existing system capacity/ efficiency through a combination of regulatory and educational program methods. Technical assistance to other work groups such as the Wastewater Maintenance Division and the Department of Community and Economic Development
helps to ensure that the system standards are being applied and that the system is well maintained. Customer service functions provide the information needed by our various customers, including, the public, developers,
engineers, and other public agencies.

Community and Economic Development
Mission
Enhance the vitality and livability of the Renton community by promoting a prosperous economy and quality neighborhoods
through economic development, sound urban planning, and streamlined land use regulation.
Core Businesses and Services
The Department of Community & Economic Development (CED) initiates and leads economic development, land use planning
and permitting, and regulation of all aspects of the development process, while working with residents, the business
community, and other community organizations to enhance the economic prosperity, vitality, and livability for the Renton
community.
In addition, CED manages the City’s intergovernmental relations, advocating for Renton’s interests at the county, regional,
state, and federal levels, coordinates the Renton Community Marketing Campaign, which is funded in part by the City’s
Lodging Tax, and provides staff support for the City’s Planning and Municipal Arts Commissions.
Coordination and collaboration amongst the three CED divisions, Economic Development, Planning, and Development
Services, and its 12 programs is essential, as each has an important role to play in achieving the vision, mission, and goals of
the City. CED plays a leadership role in the fulfillment of a significant number of the City's Business Plan goals and action
items. Most of the five Business Plan goals are directly related to the work of CED's programs.

recreation software had been in place for 20 years.
• Completed the first ever Recreation and Neighborhoods Strategic Plan, which includes updating the City’s Cost‐
Recovery policy, a full market analysis of City‐offered recreation programming, and use of recreation facilities to
increase equitable distribution of services that utilize City subsidies and resources.

Highlands Neighborhood Center and the Renton Senior Activity Center to mirror the full service capabilities that
had only been available at the Renton Community Center.
• Increased community engagement in the Benson‐Cascade planning area by dedicating an America Corp Vista

residents and the City, such as the completion of the “Benson Mural.”
