SPECIAL PRESENTATION Bob Cavanaugh, Civil Engineer III, presented a report on traffic calming. Transportation: Traffic Stating that neighborhood traffic control is a complex and controversial subject, Calming he pointed out that strategies for neighborhood traffic programs should include education, enforcement, and engineering. He explained that a two -tiered approach is used for traffic control. Tier 1 employs signing, striping, neighborhood involvement, driver education, and enforcement; and the tools used include: speed radar trailer, signing, pavement markings, rumble strips, neighborhood speed watch programs, and target enforcement. Mr. Cavanaugh further explained that Tier 2 employs roadway modifications, or traffic calming, which is a combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use. Tier 2 measures are exercised after Tier I measures are completed, and they are approached as follows: the nature and extent of the traffic -related problem is identified, a cost-effective measure is selected and implemented, and adverse affects to adjacent areas are October 11, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 344 addressed and limited. He reported that the tools used for Tier 2 traffic control include: chokers, forced turn channelization, chicanes, speed humps and pillows, traffic circles, and medians. Continuing, Mr. Cavanaugh reviewed issues that need to be considered when addressing traffic control. They are emergency response and other agency concerns; program options such as reactive or proactive, or spot or area -wide treatments; warrants and guidelines; project priority rating systems; public involvement; and cost. Additionally, he reviewed other area agency traffic control programs. Mr. Cavanaugh pointed out that the City of Renton uses Tier 1 methods to address neighborhood traffic concerns, and Tier 2 methods have not been utilized due to the Fire Department's emergency response concerns. Mr. Cavanaugh then reviewed Renton's approach and recommendations for neighborhood traffic control. The recommended list developed for Tier 1 treatments include signage, channelization, police visibility, speed trailer/reader boards, and rumble strips. Tier 2 recommended treatments include curb extensions, curb radius reduction, raised crosswalks, raised intersections, speed tables, speed pillows, chicanes, and entryways/gateways. Traffic circles and speed humps are to be used only as a last resort. He also listed the measures not recommended such as street closures, speed bumps, stop signs, and zero tolerance. Mr. Cavanaugh reported that a traffic calming process was developed to address citizen requests for traffic control measures. Transportation Systems Director Sandra Meyer added that meetings of the Street Widths Committee, at which traffic calming was discussed, were suspended in late 2002 due to a number of factors. She noted that it is clear from the rising interest level expressed by residents that the time has come to resume the City's evaluation and implementation of certain aspects of traffic calming. Responding to Councilwomen Nelson's inquiry, Council President Persson stated that there is a rumble strip located at the entrance to the City on Lake Washington Blvd., which he pointed out was a good application. However, he noted that the noise produced by rumble strips may be problematic if located close to a house. Councilwoman Palmer commented that it is important neighbors agree to the installation of devices such as speed bumps. Ms. Meyer stated that the impact of a speed bump installation on surrounding streets must also be evaluated. She reported that some area agencies use a temporary speed bump in order to determine whether that traffic calming measure is a satisfactory solution for a neighborhood, and some install permanent radar signs. Ms. Palmer noted the costs of traffic calming measures, pointing out that neighborhoods may have to help with the funding. At the request of Councilman Clawson, Deputy Fire Chief Larry Rude reviewed the effects that speed bumps and humps have on emergency vehicles and on the patients that are being transported. He stated that studies have shown that these traffic -calming measures delay response times, and cause emergency response vehicle's maintenance costs to increase. Councilwoman Nelson noted that she has observed cars driving around speed bumps in a shopping area; and stated that once installed, not very many people would be happy with them. October 11, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 345 Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington assured that the Administration is concerned about ways to reduce traffic speeds, and will continue to investigate other alternatives that slow down traffic. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: 2004 Comp Plan accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Update Implementation, public hearing to consider the proposed amendments to the Development Development Regulations Regulations (Title IV) implementing the 2004 Comprehensive Plan. Amendments Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that the State Growth Management Act mandates an update to the City's Comprehensive Plan. He explained that a number of associated zoning code amendments are required to implement the policies that are being changed in the Comprehensive Plan. Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, reviewed the proposed changes, as follows: — Revise the zoning to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. — Revise the purpose and intent of zones. — Revise lot and density standards to implement new quality design and infill policies. — Add new R-4 zone. — Add new landscape standards. — Revise the commercial zones by eliminating Center Suburban and Center Neighborhood, and renaming Center Office Residential and Convenience Commercial to Commercial Office Residential and Commercial Neighborhood. — Revise the multi -family suffixes by eliminating Residential Multi -Family Suburban Center and Residential Multi -Family Neighborhood Center,,and renaming Residential Multi -Family Infill to Residential Multi -Family. — Add use restrictions in the Airport Influence Area. Ms. Lind detailed the revisions to the new R-4 zone, including: — Allow vesting of projects with complete applications for plat prior to 11/5/2004. — Allow vesting for annexations certified by King County at 60% Direct Petition stage. — Require development of vested lots within five years to retain vested standards. — Allow flexible lot size, lot width, and depth to ensure that future plats achieve four dwelling units per net acre. — Allow lot clusters within 600 feet of an R-8 zone; 30% of the site area must be in contiguous open space, and the reviewing official may reduce the open space requirement to 20% if certain conditions exist. — Require landscaping for arterial and non -arterial street rights -of -way, and require street tree planting. (The Planning Commission recommended extending these landscaping provisions to the R-8 zone.) — Incorporate architectural criteria specified for development in aggregated lots. — Require all development to have facade modulation. Ms. Lind indicated that cross-references will be inserted within certain zoning sections that incorporate specific references to the Comprehensive Plan. This will facilitate zoning interpretations more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies. October 11, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 346 Continuing with the new landscape standards, Ms. Lind stated that the standards apply to all new development when a permit, approval, or review is required; apply to all changes of use; apply to structural changes comprising 20% or more of the original gross square footage of structure; and exempt single-family residential permits when not a part of a subdivision. She reviewed the general landscaping requirements, which include: landscaping along all street frontages; minimum five-foot planting area for rear yards abutting a street; underground irrigation systems for industrial, commercial and multi -family development; and installation of landscaping prior to issuance of an occupancy permit. Ms. Lind noted that the landscape standards allow flexibility for responding to the individual site conditions. Ms. Lind then reviewed amendments related to connectivity and the street grid system, as follows: — Grid street pattern shall remain the predominant pattern. — Linkages shall be provided to create a continuous street network. — Grid may be adjusted by reducing the number of linkages or alignment between roads when it is infeasible due to topographical/environmental constraints, and when there are substantial existing improvements. — Reasonable connections must be provided prior to the adoption of a complete grid street pattern, such as street stubs to allow for future connectivity. — Alley access is the preferred street pattern. — Offset or loop roads are the preferred alternative configuration. — Cul-de-sacs are permitted when demonstrable physical constraints prohibit future connections, and when future connection to a larger street system is not possible. Continuing, Ms. Lind noted the amendments related to private streets and lot sizes, and the amendments to definitions such as "eating and drinking establishments," "lots," and "setbacks." She also noted the addition of definitions such as "fast food," "garden style apartments," "contiguous open space," and "small lot clustered development." In regards to the Commercial Neighborhood zone, Ms. Lind stated that a wider variety of retail uses were added such as specialty markets and craft shops; that fast food and the ability to add new gas stations were removed; and that medical and dentist offices are allowed subject to the condition of 3,000 square feet. Lastly, Ms. Lind detailed the changes to the AutoMall area and the Employment Area Valley, and reviewed the following corridor districts: NE 4th St. Corridor, Sunset Blvd. Corridor, Puget Corridor, and the Rainier Ave. Corridor. She concluded that the Planning and Development Committee will meet on October 18th for final deliberations on this matter, and the related ordinances will be presented for first reading at the October 18th Council meeting. Public comment was invited. Brandy Reed, 335 Stevens Ave. SW, Renton, 98055, requested the following modifications to the proposed SW Sunset Blvd. Rezone: 1) Exclude vehicle fueling stations and accessory uses such as car washes and service/repair shops from the allowed uses in the Commercial Neighborhood zone; 2) Apply the character preservation design guideline from the proposed Urban Center Design Overlay Regulations to the Commercial Neighborhood zone, specifically the October 11, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 347 Earlington neighborhood, by limiting franchise architecture; and 3) Define franchise architecture in the Development Regulations definitions. Additionally, Ms. Reed requested that the Earlington neighborhood be listed for sub -area planning at a future date. Steven Beck, 4735 NE 4th St., Renton, 98059, asked Council to support the vesting and grandfathering of R-5 zoning in the recently annexed Bales Annexation area and for the Mosier Annexation area. Additionally, he stated his support for the flexible setbacks and lot sizes in the new R4 zone. Rod Handly, 620 SW Sunset Blvd., Renton, 98055, requested Council's support of the SW Sunset Blvd. Rezone. He stated that the modification made to the rezone, however, limits developing the commercial strip in a better way. David Smith, 624 SW Sunset Blvd., Renton, 98055, expressed his support for the zoning change from R-8 to Commercial Neighborhood. Helen Williams, 615 SW 3rd St., Renton, 98055, concurred with Ms. Reed's comments, and thanked everyone for their hard work on this process. Ms. Williams expressed her support for the SW Sunset Blvd. Rezone, and also for the development of a plan for the Earlington neighborhood.

Policies of the Plan are implemented by zoning (Renton Municipal Code Title IV, Development Regulations). In order for the amended Plan policies to be consistent with the zoning, certain zoning text amendments are required. The Renton City Council has been reviewing proposed text amendments to the Renton Municipal Code Title IV, Development Regulations. If the Council decides to adopt these proposed revisions, the following will occur: 1. Renton Municipal Code, Title IV Development Regulations, will be revised; and, 2. Future development projects within the City of Renton, unless vested to previously adopted regulations, must adhere to the revised regulations. The recommendation to Council is that the zoning text amendments to the Renton Municipal Code Title IV, Development Regulations, be adopted.

I would like to thank your team for its efforts to address the concerns and comments provided by the residents of the Earlington neighborhood on the proposed SW Sunset Blvd Rezone. The "Neighborhood Commercial" zoning designation and the "Alternative 'B' Vicinity Map" are more desirable zoning options than the original 1.58 acre Commercial Arterial rezone proposal. While in attendance of the 9/28/04 Planning Commission Hearing and the 9/30/04 and 10/7/04 Planning and Development Committee meetings, I listened to Commission and Committee members and City of Renton staff share their thoughts on the type of commercial redevelopment they envisioned for the proposed rezone. The common element in the visions shared was a desire to see commercial development characterized by professional practices and cottage style industries that might also include residences. I find this an appealing vision, but I am not confident we will realize such an aesthetic without some additional modifications to the rezoning proposal. Based on my concern, I am writing to request the following 3 modifications to the proposed SW Sunset Blvd Rezone: 1 - Revise the list of allowed uses in the SW Sunset Blvd Rezone or the CN Zoning Designation, whichever is deemed the most appropriate option by your team, to exclude vehicle fueling stations and accessory uses such as car washes and service/repair shops. Because the CN Zone is intended to promote commercial and retail development opportunities for residents to shop locally, and since there are 3 gas stations and 1 vehicle repair shop within 2 to 3 blocks of the proposed rezone, more gas stations and repair shops are not necessarily needed in this vicinity. 2 - Add the following footnote to the SW Sunset Blvd Rezone or the Conditions Associated with Zoning Use Tables, whichever is deemed the most appropriate option by your team: 'Franchise architecture is limited in the SW Sunset Blvd CN Zone to projects that provide an appropriate transition to the long established existing neighborhood north of SW Sunset Blvd known as the Earlington neighborhood'. Such a footnote would be consistent with "design guideline" E.4.c.i of the 9/15/04 draft of the Urban Center Design Overlay Regulations which is intended to shape redevelopment projects so that the character and value of the North Renton Neighborhood is preserved. I feel the Earlington neighborhood would benefit from a similar effort to preserve its character and value. 3 - Extend the design guideline definition of franchise architecture to the SW Sunset Blvd Rezone or the CN Zoning Designation, whichever is deemed the most appropriate option by your team, as follows: "Franchise retail architecture (or generic or corporate architecture) - Consists of site layout, buildings, and signs for businesses (usually large format, chain, or franchise retail establishments) that are the same style, color, and material regardless of location. Typically, the employees wear uniforms and the products or food are the same in every facility." As a final request, I ask that the Earlington neighborhood and associated SW Sunset Blvd gateway be considered for Sub -Area Planning at some future date and that the neighborhood be added to a list for such future work at this time.

The Mayor addressed Boeing's partnership with the City, what it has meant to have Boeing in Renton, and what the future holds for Renton with Boeing streamlining its operations and rightsizing its workforce. The BBC feature will reach audiences around the globe and is expected to air before the end of the year. Free pumpkin painting, scarecrows, a farmers market, and entertainment will set the stage for the third annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 16", from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. at the Piazza, located on South 3rd Street between Logan and Burnett Avenues. This event is sponsored by Piazza Renton, the City of Renton, and the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce. The Piazza will be adorned with decorated scarecrows and your vote for the best scarecrow will determine the People's Choice Award. For further information contact Diana Postlewait at 425-228-2209. COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT • Because of public safety concerns, during October a number of trees will be removed and replaced. Four hazard trees will be removed at Liberty Park and Teasdale Park. A large Big Leaf Maple located on the north side of the Renton Public Library in Liberty Park has advanced decay and hollows in its lower stem and upper crown and leans slightly towards the library. Three Big Leaf Maples at Teasdale Park have advanced decay and hollows in the lower stems of each tree. One tree is located near the playground, one near the basketball court, and one near the park sign along S. 23rd Street. A fifth tree is slated for removal at Cedar River Trail Park near Nishiwaki Lane. This large Cottonwood interferes with airplane approaches near the Renton Municipal Airport and will not be replaced. On August 3rd, the Northwest Area Foundation approved a ten-year plan to reduce poverty for the South King County area of Renton, Burien, SeaTac, Skyway/West Hill, and Tukwila, the area also known as Central South King County. The Foundation is expected to provide $10.2 million in funding as well as technical assistance to help implement the plan. A temporary coordinating committee, informal community leaders, and action teams have been meeting to work on action plans and on the selection of a sponsoring agency. Many organizations in Renton are involved in the process, such as The Salvation Army, Seattle/King County Health Department, Renton Black Parents Association, Communities in Schools of Renton, United Way, and Renton Area Youth Services. To obtain a copy of the strategic plan, contact Lori Guilfoyle at 206-461-5056. Date: October 6, 2004 To: Don Persson, Council President Marcie Palmer, Council Member Terri Briere, Council Member Denis Law, Council Member, Dan Clawson, Council Member, Toni Nelson, Council Member, Randy Corman, Council Member CITY OF RENTON OCT 0 8 na4 RECEIVED CITY CLEERK'S OFFICE Public Safety chair Public Safety member Public Safety vice -chair Subject: Request for Executive Session as Provided by Renton Municipal Code, Chapter 5 Council and Chapter 6 Code of Ethics Opening statement I believe the words from RMC Chapter 6, Section 1-6-1 make a fitting opening statement for my request: "It is hereby recognized and established that high moral and ethical standards among City officials are vital and essential to provide unbiased, open and honest conduct within all phases and levels of government; that a code of ethics is a helpful aid in guiding City officials and to eliminate actual conflicts of interest in public office and to improve and elevate standards of public service so as to promote and strenqthen the confidence, faith and trust of the people of the Citv of Renton in their local government." My request I believe that Renton Municipal Code provides that, when requested, the Council will "receive and evaluate complaints" and "review the performance of a public employee." And that is the purpose of this letter-- to request that the Council receive via Executive Session my charges and complaints as follows: • Police Chief Gary Anderson - Misuse of office and incompetence • Deputy Chief Milosevich - Aiding and abetting misuse of office • Commander McClincy - Incompetent and dishonest work performance in connection with internal investigation • Officer Mackechnie - Harassment and falsifying a report while representing the City as a police officer • Officer Klinke - Incompetent supervision of a junior officer I believe my request is allowed under Renton Municipal Code, Chapters 5 and 6. But quite frankly, it is a very "sticky" subject, and there are multiple references to RCWs in Renton Municipal Code which complicate matters. My eye balls are knocking together from all the reading I've done --it would probably take a computer to correctly correlate them all. You can read certain parts of the attached Chapters 5 and 6, and make sense of certain parts without being an attorney, but there are other parts which raise questions only an attorney can answer. But being able to read a law and figure out Page 1 of 11 what is meant by certain parts does not make you an attorney; and it doesn't make me one either. I am just exercising my rights as a citizen of Renton. A question for Councilman Clawson Councilman Clawson may excuse himself, if he thinks the following email will prevent him from being an "unbiased, open and honest" participant of the Executive Session: t�tfjtci: l��. litiis[l �' F7€°: se�cutor Er, yestudav's AfYLIiIi- r h0il int, `#'fjfii= "1) }11a?1IQ[3.1ti`:i.UN ' Diito: Tue. 31 eltisy 20044 i 2. 4 s:Z1.5 4) 00 T4; 1,ti,f li'�t1St:i}�4.1 co ..+e1 . ): , _. isj, _ 'i�. ,-, ._ - —•.i .,___ _ ,-., ... ,r.. .., - .i F, _A' :. ,1;_t..�C -• r _., �_ .- 9�Y�1. .;❑ .gi�rj �;�rl F�=-i�_3 .-.?it. ;:C�--: �'l";-..! ,� 11.-: t.: .. _:-�.I }.3 �. I am able to read, and 1 have a brain and am able to correlate events with what I read. This is the definition of "a thorn in the side of City Hall," not an attorney. When my reading material is Renton Municipal Code or Renton Municipal Court Rules, instead of a Harlequin Romance, then I become a VERY informed citizen. You should have more citizens like me. It's a different day now that the City of Renton website contains so much information readily accessible to anyone with a PC and an internet connection. Likewise, the State Supreme Court has a website, so does the Washington Bar Association. The RCW s are on line, as are Judicial Rules of Conduct and the Rules of Professional Conduct. Throw a little gray matter into the mix, and you have a citizenry who won't be horns waggled anymore. Involvement of City Attorney I believe my request should be confidentially reviewed by the City Attorney, if such a confidential review is possible. My reservation is that I don't believe he has been a neutral advisor in the past, and I have no reason to believe he will be neutral in this matter. He appears to be the mayor's attorney, and his purpose is to protect her and her administration, which includes the Police Department. However, I would like to point out that without the Judicial Rules of Conduct which guide the municipal court judge, and without the Rules of Professional Conduct which guide the city attorney, his prosecutors, and those members of the council who are attorneys Page 2 of 11 by profession, all employees and elected officials of the City of Renton are still bound by RMC, Chapter 6, Code of Ethics. Executive Session - a mini Grand Jury With that caveat stated, I do believe that Renton Municipal Code provides a way for inquiry into questionable aspects of city government. Executive Sessions of the Council can equate to a mini Grand Jury of sorts when the situation merits. The City Council is the legislative arm of city government --it is the city's version of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and as such, the Council represents "the People." It is not appropriate for the Council to "close ranks" and go into "silent running" when wrong doing is suspected within the Executive or Judicial branches of city government. And it is not appropriate for the city attorney to look at legal matters only through "pro administration" glasses. There are three arms of city government, and he should be giving the best advice to them considering that he owes "the People" his best and most honest effort. About now you are probably thinking I must have lost my mind. Most likely, a citizen has never asked for an Executive Session before and definitely not for the purposes stated above. But we've never had a "shoot the messenger" campaign to this extent before either. When the police chief charges a citizen (me) with a felony --that of witness tampering in the case of an alleged misdemeanor theft of a 25-cent newspaper, and no one at City Hall stops him, the situation can only be described as FUBAR. And we all know what that means. It is obvious to me that the mayor has lost (or never had) control of her Administration, and it is time for Renton Municipal Code to bring order out of chaos by virtue of the Executive Session provision. By holding such an Executive Session, the light of truth will hopefully cause operations at City Hall to get back on track. Lawfulness of my request Here's why I believe my request for an Executive Session is within the law. Chapter 5, Section 1-5-2 Executive Sessions, establishes the parameters whereby conduct which is not "open and honest" can be investigated, and this is done by Executive Session of the Council. A copy of Chapter 5 and 6 are enclosed for reference. Para A-6 gives this purpose for an Executive Session: 'To receive and evaluate complaints or charges brought against a public officer or employee. However, upon the request of such officer or employee, a public hearing or meeting open to the public shall be conducted upon such complaint or charge." I interpret the first sentence as allowing a citizen at large to make such a request of the Council, otherwise how could the Council "receive" the complaint or charge? And I interpret the last sentence to mean that the persons who are the subject of such an Executive Session have the right to request that the Executive Session be open to the public. Para A-7 gives another purpose for an Executive Session: 'To . . . review the performance of a public employee." It also provides that "when a governing body Page 3 of 11 elects to take final action regarding ... discharging or disciplining an employee, that action shall be taken in a meeting open to the public." The last sentence of Para A indicates: Executive sessions ... shall be limited to members of the City Council unless the presence of nonmembers is requested by the majority of City Council members." This may seem contradictory on the surface, because previously the RMC indicates that an officer or employee, in the case of a complaint or charge, may request the Executive Session be open to the public. With regard to complaints and charges, I think the presenter of such complaints and/or charges should have the same rights. In any event, it is apparent that the Council must vote to approve attendance by any nonmembers, perhaps as means of getting this information "on the record" or perhaps just to maintain order One example of police conduct to show substance to my request I will provide an example of the kind of conduct in question so that you will have confidence that my request for an Executive Session has substance. And this is just one example among many! It concerns Wade Cross and this paragraph from Chief Anderson's letter of 9/28/04, based upon information provided by Commander McClincy: On I-Ia_y � '�, Z00=f, affect MacKechnie. made Phone. ton tact ra idt Ivir. Crass who complained about on - Zing problems with you. On May ?c`', officer Mac echnie formally tresprImA you from file prig ate property of tvlr. Cross —who posted his prog4rty' tivith Na Trespassm� Si�-h \n csfticc nmseonduct occurred. The "actors" in the example are: • Wade Cross who called 911 on 5/12104 to make a complaint about the "ongoing problem with transients" noting "nothing in progress." I spoke with him directly about the city needing services for the homeless, so I know his name by virtue of his address. Proof The attached copy of Incident History Report #RP0402297 • Officer Mark Klinke who responded to the call. Was he in a supervisory capacity over Officer Mackechnie? If so, he has responsibility in part for what took place. Proof., The same Incident History Report #RP0402297 • Officer Kristen Mackechnie who assisted Officer Klinke, but I be that he had a supervisory relationship with her as the senior officer. Proof. The same Incident History Report #RP0402297 and my comments on Pg 6 of this letter. • Officer Kristen Mackechnie again. She admonished Aguilar on 2/25/04 without "probable cause" to do so. She falsified the document and in doing so, she violated Aquilar's civil right to go about his personal affairs without interference of law. Proof She specifically referenced Incident History Report #RP0402297 on her Page 4of11 admonishment card. And on the card, she fabricated an incident of trespassing and lewd behavior, attributing this behavior to Aguilar without any such allegations actually coming from Wade Cross. He is an acquaintance of Aguilar's, they are friendly with one another, and he stated that he knew Aguilar was not one of the homeless he had complained about. Officer Mackechnie didn't count on their knowing each other. So where did Mackechnie get her information? She must have fabricated it to harass Aguilar. And then to cover up her misconduct, she stamped the card "No disclosure requested." Wade Cross didn't make such a request, so that is another fabricated element of her admonishment card. He absolutely did not make the complaint she described. And if Commander McClincy had done her job properly, she would have known this too. But then she would have had to document police misconduct, and that appears to be a no -no, no matter what the circumstances. • Chavez Aguilar submitted a written complaint of misconduct against Officer Mackechnie regarding this admonishment, and I think he also included Commander McClincy in the complaint. He explained everything I'm telling you here, so his information had to have been forwarded to Commander McClincy for investigation. • Commander McClincy investigated the incident. Chief Anderson reported, as shown on Page 4 of this letter, that "On May 12th, 2004, Officer Mackechnie made phone contact with Mr. Cross who complained about ongoing problems with [Aguilar]. On May 25th, Officer Mackechnie formally trespassed [Aguilar] from the private property of Mr. Cross --who posted his property with No Trespassing Signs_" Well, Aguilar was in a public alley at the time, not on private property. And there were no signs at Wade Cross's property as of 10/5104. That means that Commander McClincy's report is inaccurate in all respects, and it sheds doubt on the rest of her work. • But the most egregious finding is that Commander McClincy said, "No officer misconduct occurred." And this is what she said about EVERY complaint on Chief Anderson's letter of 9/28/04. You hold the proof right in your hands that officer misconduct did occur in the case of Wade Cross. Being responsible for internal investigations demands the officer have the highest of moral and ethical standards. By this one case alone, Commander McClincy has shown an inability to conduct unbiased, open and honest internal investigations. This calls into question her other investigations, including the FELONY charge against me for witness tampering in the infamous "theft of a 25-cent newspaper" case. Her work performance regarding the Wade Cross incident is not worthy of the title of commander. Proof.- The attachments you hold in your hand. • Officer McClincy had an ax to grind with Aguilar and me because I reported, on behalf of Aguilar, the incident with the Cheetos bag. And on my own behalf, I sent the mayor and council an email questioning her ability to fairly perform fair internal investigations regarding Aguilar because of a racial tirade she made in front of him in 1997, not realizing that he was Black. Proof. Attached email dated 04 July 20-04 14:19 regarding the "Cheetos Page 5 of 11 incident" and actual copies of pages from Aguilar's diary with a text translation for easier reading. Chief Gary Anderson actually wrote, signed and distributed a letter dated 09/28/04 recapping Officer McClincy's multiple investigations as a result of complaints submitted by Chavez Aguilar. Does the chief honestly think that recipients are going to believe that no officer misconduct occurred in any of the incidents? He insults my intelligence, and he should insult yours too. Proof: His letter of 9/28/04 (attached). And I can similarly debunk his entire letter. Deputy Chief Milosevich was a carbon copy recipient of Chief Anderson's letter of 9/28/04- and Chief Anderson indicates he reviewed the letter with his staff, which I assume would include his deputy chief. Milosevich read a piece of fiction and remained silent, thereby failing to meet the Code of Ethics required by Chapter 6. His lack of courage to stand up to an ineffective and dishonest supervisor showed that he himself should probably not be holding a supervisory position. Proof: Gary Anderson's letter of 9/28/04. $z r _ Culture of fear and intimidation Look at the list of Police Department employees involved in this one incident with Wade Cross. Not one of these employees performed to the "high moral and ethical standards required among City officials within all phases and levels of government." Even Officer Klinke is implicated because he said to me, "Don't blame me I gave that assignment to Mackechnie." What assignment? To harass Aguilar at every opportunity and to falsify charges if necessary? You council members are in a difficult position because of my request. But if the Administration is out of control and the Judicial Department has some serious problems (more on this in another letter), and the mayor doesn't have control of the situation, then you must step in. If not YOU, then who? This is a situation that has been brewing for the past eight years. But it cannot continue. Innocent citizens are being hurt in order to cover up police and judicial misconduct.

Page 6 of 11 Police unions are "muscular," as the mayor admitted in her first official speech after taking office. I couldn't help but recall her statement as I read the newspaper article on the previous page about the culture of intimidation and fear in Tacoma because of a police union with too much power. Closing remarks Please discuss my request and let me know what you decide. I believe my request is lawful. You must begin somewhere to restore priorities within the Police Department. And what possible resolutions are there? My personal belief is that only a neutral investigation at the State level regarding the recent and many allegations of police misconduct will "quench this fire." And it needs to include the "indefinite" trespass of Aguilar from ALL Community Services facilities forever. Aguilar and I send letters, because that is our only means of fighting injustice. And in return, the Police Department takes malicious retaliation against us. This "pissing match" has to end at some point; and as I said, if the Council doesn't start the City on the right track, then who will? close my letter with the same words I used at the beginning: "It is hereby recognized and established that high moral and ethical standards among City officials are vital and essential to provide unbiased, open and honest conduct within all phases and levels of government; that a code of ethics is a helpful aid in guiding City officials and to eliminate actual conflicts of interest in public office and to improve and elevate standards of public service so as to promote and strengthen the confidence, faith and trust of the people of the City of Renton in their local government."

Yesterday Officers Wilkinson and McClincy concealed themselves in the Piazza to surveil Aguilar and two others with whom he was speaking while they sat at the Piazza clock. Aguilar has requested in writing that Renton Police cease and desist from surveilling and stalking him as described in RCW 9A.46, and I followed up with a conftrnning email dated 07/01/04 to that same effect. Is the City taking any action as result of his request? Officer McClincy is the "cheetos incident" officer spoken of in my email note of 6/20/04 entitled "Homelessness isn't a crime in Renton?" where I describe several incidents of inappropriate police interaction with Aguilar. Here's the excerpt about McClincy: "And just today (06/20/04) about 4 pm a police woman in a black unmarked car made a search of the area where Aguilar was sitting by the clock near the Piazza. She saw a Cheetos bag that he had put under his seat while he stretched his legs, and I suspect she thought it might have contained an open alcohol bottle, even though there was nothing about his behavior to indicate public drunkenness. To her disappointment, the bag contained only Cheetos. This same policewoman stopped Aguilar to chat several times during the prior week, so what the hell is going on? If I had been sitting at the bench and put my bag of Cheetos bag down while I got up and walked around the bench area to stretch my legs, do you think a policeman driving by would, have stopped to search the area where I was sitting or to check my munchies bag for alcohol? No way! Only the homeless get this special treatment. And what a waste of time and resources in a city complaining of budget problems and not enough policemen to fight crime." Officer Wilkinson was involved in investigating the call of 03/31/04 where someone from St. Anthony's made a 911 call accusing Aguilar of peeping at children in the playground and masturbating. The incident history report discriminated against Aguilar in so many ways: I wrote you extensively regarding this, including pictures of the area at that time of night (6:30 pm) to prove that no such thing did or could have occurred. Aguilar has requested that the City press formal charges against the caller for making false calls. (I hope the City is not ignoring his request.) Officer Wilkinson (along with Elliott and. Smith) in essence made a false report regarding investigation of that 911 call by omitting important facts and by inserting erroneous comments. Renton Police did not enter any comments to indicate what they saw when they 1 of 3 10/6/2004 3:17 PIv WILKINSON & McCLINCY: Incident on Sat, 07/03/04 arrived. For example, the school yard was empty and no children were present, the nearby businesses were all open, and the place where Aguilar was located was in plain view of these businesses, the area could be seen for hundreds of feet up and down the alley and from across the street, and there was no fence to peep over, it was a cyclone fence, and Aguilar was with church friends who bring him groceries on Wednesday nights. While officers omitted making any entries about the facts of the area which would have proven the 911 call to be false, they did enter comments to put Aguilar in a bad light which were untrue, such as the comment indicating that Aguilar had left the scene. Luckily Aguilar was there with church friends, or he might have ended up at Roscoe's Towing with a bashed in head. The officers left long before Aguilar left, and his friends can vouch for this. There is plenty of information about 03/31/04 to legitimately claim discriminatory treatment by the officers who responded to and documented that call. Those officers had a professional duty to report fully and accurately, especially on a claim of such a sensitive nature, and they did not do so. The actions of police officers that night should be the subject of an investigation. Back to the incident of Saturday, 07/03/04: In the late afternoon, Officers Wilkinson and McClincy had been hiding in the Piazza for about 15-20 minutes surveilling Aguilar and two other men. One of them was James, a Black homeless guy whom we think has the mentality of about a 12-year old. He is one of the homeless guys who was taken into custody (aka kidnapped) on Thanksgiving a few years ago, driven to hell and gone north of Bellevue by the HawaiiaivTongan cop and his partner, and then dropped off (ref my email of 7/01/04). James wants to press charges regarding this abduction, but the City is probably already conducting its own investigation, right? Yesterday afternoon, James was not behaving in a drunk & disorderly fashion, but he did have a bottle of bear in his pack sack. At one point, he took the bottle out of his pack sack, took a swig, put the cap back on it, and then returned it to his pack sack. Police can be seen drinking just about any nice day in the Carco Park, Liberty Park, or Coulon Beach, for example. Yet police take no action when "taking a swig" is part of a family picnic and no disorderly conduct accompanies the drinking. But let a homeless guy do it, and the police are on him like stink on dog poop. I do not believe the police had probable cause to quickly accost the 3 men, Aguilar included. It was not a case of disorderly and drunken conduct which prompted police response, it was merely a swig from a bottle of bear. If police have time to deal with one swig from a bottle of beer quickly returned to a pack sack, then there must not be any real crime in Renton. Here's what Officer McClincy did which I think is wrong and which constitutes misuse of office. She went up to James, and remember we believe he has the mental acuity of about a 12-year old, and said, "Where's your bottle?" James complied and unzipped his pack to show her his bottle of beer. Then she said, "Now I'm going to give you a ticket." Haven't police got something more productive to do with their time? James didn't want Aguilar to leave him with the police, but Aguilar asked Officer McClincy if she wanted to speak with him, and she said no, so he left. James was ticketed and left ... and then I arrived. I was on my way to my mothers and had seen a police car at the Piazza clock and thought the police were hassling Aguilar again, so I parked next to the police car and asked them if they had just "interacted with Aguilar"? Officer McClincy said, "Let me guess, you are Inez Petersen." She told me that Aguilar had split 2 of 3 10/6/2004 3.17 PM WILKINSON & McCLINCY: Incident on Sat, 07/03/04 and that it was James whom they had cited, and she showed me his ticket. McClincy told me that she was involved in investigating Aguilar and that led to two things: • First, I showed her one of Kathy's old campaign signs which indicated that the mayor was supported by the Police Guild and I wondered how citizen complaints such as Aguilar's could get a fair and impartial investigation. • And second, I mentioned the incident with the admonishment card where Mackechme and Klinke falsely reported that Wade Cross had complained about Aguilar urinating on his property and pawing through his garbage, when in fact Wade Cross had made no such allegation against Aguilar. No wonder the officers had the admonishment card stamped, "No disclosure requested." What a convenient way to hassle the homeless via falsified reports and keep the reports hidden! These discussions with McClincy raise a question ill my mind: How can Officer McClincy fairly investigate Aguilar when she's was involved in the "cheetos incident" and several other stops intended to intimidate Aguilar? And let me conclude with a final comment that the incident with James and the prior "cheetos" incident with Aguilar raises concenning the efforts of Terry Vickers to get apartment management to hang signs which would enable police to carte blanche trespass citizens. There is just too much non value-added effort going on here. If Renton Police would cease and desist surveilling the homeless in the downtown core and focus on the businesses and residences instead, maybe there would be less crime. The garage thefts that took place recently in the downtown apartments look like an inside job to me. A homeless guy, or even several homeless guys, don't have the tools to break in; and they don't have the means to cart away and store stolen goods --especially a significant stash of tools. These thefts had to have been perpetrated by somebody with alot more resources than a penniless homeless guy or two have. So my suggestion is to lay off the homeless and focus on surveillance of properties in the downtown core to discourage future crime.

I see that no action was taken regarding this because she is still investigating Aguilar, se I'm enclosing further proof that Officer McClincy should not be within 100 yards of any investigation of Aguilar. In fact, with as many incidents of misconduct as I have relayed to the mayor and to the police chief, I don't think anyone from inside the Renton Police Department should be investigating "their own." The excerpt concerning Officer McClincy comes from Page 9-10 of a letter dated 9-29- 97 Aguilar sent to Alan Walis with copies provided later to Mayor Tanner and Chief Anderson. It goes like this (scanned copy of original attached): "Now concerning my talk with Det. McClincy that following (9-25-97) morning at around 7:00 a.m. I began by expressing to Det. McClincy about how people's perception can be biased and can have a lot to do with a report. I mentioned my (mistrust) fear of police, partly because of being raised in Seattle's Central District. There has always been an air (to some degree) of mistrust. I mentioned (referring to when I was younger) the Black Community's thoughts as to the Renton Police Department --I became shocked, Det. McClincy flared up in anger and said somewhat loudly, "I don't give a shit about what the Black Community thinks of the Renton Police Department!" Then in the.. next breath: "I don't give a Goddamn about what the Black Community thinks! -- I've had it up to here with race!" I could not get in a word, she continued, "I'm Goddamn sick and tired of Blacks hiding behind race!" I said calmly, "Well, their defense attorney tells them that they have a right to plead not guilty." Officer McClincy responded with, "That's gonna be the downfall of our country, defense attorneys! Just the way Greece fell!" I mentioned OJ Simpson's trial to show that both sides many times are guilty of misconduct. Officer McClincy got angrier and said, "That was a farce. That murdering son of a bitch (referring to OJ Simpson), forgetting that there were two people murdered! ... I know that there's some bad cops, I've worked with cops who were assholes, but most police are good, you never read of something that a good cop does. The papers, they just want sensationalism." I told Det. McClincy that there was no need in all. that cursing. She snapped back with, "I don't give a Goddamn. I'm not cursing you, that's the way I express myself." At that., I began to walk away from her and I said, "I'm sorry that I've bothered. you." Officer McClincy called me back and then she calmed down, and told me how to file complaints against the detective who took my picture, that she was her supervisor. Also against Wilkenson ... and Hornbuckel ... and Treadwell . . . " So here's the bottom line: Considering the tirade from Officer McClincy, do you really think she is the best person to investigate Aguilar, a homeless Black man?"

Now does that sound like Pabla called in a complaint? No!!!!! And notice that the STATEMENT is even written in the officer's own handwriting ...

The proof is right there in the Police Page 1 of 8 CONFIDENTIAL Page 2 of 8. Department's very own records. They indict themselves.

Case in point, you have Aguilar's email report of Officer Trader and two bicycle policemen going to the residence of Father Gary Zender just the other day to solicit a sworn complaint regarding the previous day's attempt to cite Aguilar for trespassing on St. Anthony's property. It is a sad day when a citizen must carry a plot map on his person obtained from City of Renton Planning & Development Dept to fend off police officers hell bent on citing him for criminal trespass when he is, in fact, walking in a public alley. It is also a sad day when the mayor echoes the same misinformation provided to her by own staff; namely, Police Chief Gary Anderson and his Deputy Chief Milosevich. I refer to her letter dated 02/27/04 (copy attached). In Paragraphs 4 and 6 she indicates the following: "I can tell you that the police officers must have reasonable grounds or probable cause to stop Mr. Aguilar or detain him against his will. In the case of the Saturday morning incident [referring to the infamous Ferguson newspaper case], Page 2 of 8 CONFIDENTIAL Page 3 of 8 the officers were responding to a complaint ... Please remember, charges filed against Mr. Aguilar are a result of citizen complaints." Aguilar has already shown you Officer Ferguson's report, written in his own hand, to debunk her statement and that of Chief Anderson that officers were responding to citizen complaints. And wasn't it helpful of Officer Ferguson to write Pabla's statement for him, just like he did for the Gary Teale and Gary Samaniego on 12/03/03?

How can the City Council, and especially the Public Safety Committee, remain silent in good conscience any longer? am still of the opinion that any fair investigation of police misconduct must be done at the State level. Even a citizen review panel in Tacoma could not provide an adequate review of the police corruption in that city (ref "Panel faults probe into Brame scandal," The Seattle Times, 10/04104). Such a citizen panel wouldn't work in Renton either, and it is apparent to me that any investigation done by Officer McClincy falls far short of the standard of neutrality and fairness which the circumstances require.

Y , FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator (x 6592)w SUBJECT: IKEA loth Anniversary Celebration Issue: The Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has recommended that the Renton City Council allocate up to $12,000 of Hotel/Motel Tax revenues for the purchase of light post banners and other activities related to IKEA's 1 Oth Anniversary celebration.. Recommendation: Concur with the Committee's recommendation. Background: In 1997, the City of Renton established a lodging tax to provide a funding mechanism for the promotion of tourism. State law defines this as "activities and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists... and the marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists." A "tourist" is defined as "a person who travels from a place of residence to a different town, city, county, state or country for purposes of business, pleasure, recreation, education, arts, heritage or culture." Since its opening, IKEA has contributed significantly to the economic and social well-being of the City and attracted "tourists" to Renton. IKEA estimates that more than 3 million people visit the store each year-65,000 each week. More than 90% of these visitors are from outside of the South King County area. Additionally, IKEA has partnered with the Renton hotels in the past on collaborative promotions. On October 23, 2004, IKEA will celebrate its loth anniversary in Renton. This special event is expected to draw tens of thousands of people to Renton as the store will be waiving sales . September 30, 2004 Page 2 tax for all its customers, extending hours and doing significant promotion in its own right. This is an ideal opportunity to showcase Renton to these visitors. Staff has designed a colorful banner that could be hung on approximately 60 light posts in the IKEA area. This effort will provide a festive atmosphere and high -profile demonstration of the community's support for IKEA and its many contributions. Many of the light posts in this area are not equipped with the metal brackets to hang banners, so approximately 50% of the estimated costs will be for the hardware. These brackets will allow other banners to be hung in this area in the future. The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, in practice, has only recommended expenditure of the prior year's tax collections. In 2003, the City collected $181,848. For 2004, the Committee recommended and the Council allocated $100,000 to the Renton Visitors Connection (RVC) and $50,000 to the Renton Community Marketing Campaign. An additional $3,500 was later allocated to the RVC for additional printing of its Renton Visitors Guide. These actions leave an available funding pool for 2004 of $28,348. The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee conducting a "virtual" meeting September 30, 2004 via e-mail and recommends that the City Council support effort.

Project Description/Background The applicant, Brad Nicholson, has proposed to subdivide a 0.82-acre parcel into four lots. The property is currently developed with an existing single family residential structure, which is proposed to remain on what would become new Lot 2. Lots 1, 3 and 4 are intended for the eventual development of detached single family homes. The lots are proposed at the following sizes: 7,666 square feet (Lot 1), 9,138 square feet (Lot 2), 7,200 square feet (Lot 3), and 10,858 square feet (Lot 4). The applicant is proposing to serve all four lots from a 26-foot wide private street off of NE 28th Street. Currently, the existing single-family residence located on what would become new Lot 2 is served via a looped private drive from NE 28 Street. The topography of the subject site slopes at less than 1 % from the south to the north up to a naturally occurring ravine, which leads down to May Creek. The ravine is located approximately 40 feet south of the northern property boundary and slopes to the north in excess of 70%. The subject site is predominately vegetated with grass lawn and some ornamental vegetation, of which some would be removed during project construction. As the subject site contains protected slopes (40% plus), the project is subject to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. 2. Environmental Review In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A. Environmental Impacts The proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Division to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The subject site is characterized as having a very slight slope (less than 1%) to a point approximately 40 feet south of the northern property boundary, where a natural occurring ravine is located. The ravine slopes to the north in excess of 70% and is classified as a Protected Slope on the City's Slope Atlas. The gradually sloping portions of the property are vegetated with mostly short scrub bushes, field grasses, lawn and fir trees, while the ravine is heavily vegetated with native ground cover and fir trees. The applicant was not required to submit a new geotechnical report as one was prepared by Cornerstone Geotechnical, Inc. dated April 5, 2001 for the Debar property located abutting and directly west of the subject site. As the report pertains to similarly sloped property in close proximity to the subject site, staff has adopted the report by reference and included it in the project file. With that stated, the report indicates that surface exploration indicated a layer of topsoil, about 0.3 to 1.3 feet in depth. The topsoil consisted of loose, silty fine sand with organic matter. Underlying the topsoil layer was a weathered soil horizon, 0.7 to 2.5 feet thick, consisting of loose, fine to medium sand with silt, to a silty fine to medium sand with gravel (weathered recessional outwash). The weathered outwash was underlain by loose to medium dense, fine to medium sand (recessional outwash). The subsurface tests indicated recessional outwash sands overlying glacial till. The till was not uniformly substantial and may, in the opinion of the geotechnical engineer, "locally pinch out." Deeper explorations extended through the till and recessional outwash, and encountered the underlying advance outwash, consisting of sand and gravel, including some fine sand. Two cross -sections were included in the report, indicating slopes inclined at 42 to 26 degrees on the upper portion of the slope (above the railroad right-of-way) on the west side and 34 to 48 degrees on the upper portion of the slope on the east side. Both cross sections indicate the slope continues from the railroad cut to the valley floor at about 30 to 40 degrees. According to the geotechnical report, groundwater seepage was encountered at 22 feet, at approximately the midpoint of the east property boundary. This may have been perched water. Saturated surface soils were encountered on the lower slopes of the western cross section line. shpltrpt.doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 3 The geotechnical report concludes that there was no evidence of deep-seated slope failure, although slipping downslope has occurred, primarily where yard waste and other debris have been deposited over the top of the slope. Although the slopes appear to be stable, the geotechnical engineer recommended two foundation/building setbacks: 1) A building foundations setback of 35 feet from the face of the native sloped soils; and, 2) A 25-foot building setback from the top of the slope. In addition, the geotechnical engineer recommended no excavation or stockpiling of material within 15 feet of the top of slope. Staff recommends that the geotechnical engineer's recommendations be adopted as mitigating measures of the proposed short plat. Potential erosion impacts that could occur during project construction would be adequately mitigated by City Code requirements for approval of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) pursuant to the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and a Construction Mitigation Plan. These would need to be implemented prior to issuance of Construction Permits. In order to ensure potential erosion impacts are adequately mitigated, staff recommends that temporary erosion control measures be maintained to the satisfaction of the representative of the Development Services Division for the duration of the project. Finally, in order to ensure neighboring properties are not impacted by erosion from this development, staff recommends that the applicant be required to install a silt fence along the down slope perimeter of the area that is to be disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated and shall be constructed in conformance with the specifications presented in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual. This will be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site improvements as well as building construction. In addition, staff recommends that shallow drainage swales be constructed to intercept surface water flow and route the flow away from the construction area to a stabilized discharge point. Vegetation growth shall be established in the ditch by seeding or placing sod. Depending on site grades, it may be necessary to line the ditch with rock to protect the ditch from erosion and to reduce flow rates. The design and construction of drainage swales shall conform to the specifications presented in the 1998 KCSWDM. Temporary pipe systems can also be used to covey storm water across the site. Staff recommends this condition be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site improvements as well as building construction and that the mitigation measure be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. Mitigation Measures: • The applicant shall be required to adhere to all recommendations contained within the April 5, 2001 Geotechnical Report prepared by Cornerstone Geotechnical, Inc. with regard to all earthwork activities, slope setbacks and foundation design. In addition, the applicant shall include the 35-foot footing setback line measured from the face of the slope and the 25-foot building setback line measured from the top of the slope on the face of the final short plat drawing prior to recording. • Temporary erosion control measures shall be maintained to the satisfaction of the representative of the Development Services Division for the duration of the project's construction. • The applicant shall install a silt fence along the down slope perimeter of the area that is to be disturbed. The silt fence shall be in place before clearing and grading is initiated and shall be constructed in conformance with the specifications presented in the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual. This will be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site improvements as well as building construction. • Shallow drainage swales shall be constructed to intercept surface water flow and route the flow away from the construction area to a stabilized discharge point. Vegetation growth shall be established in the ditch by seeding or placing sod.

This will be required during the construction of both off -site and on -site improvements as well as building construction. • The project contractor shall perform daily review and maintenance of all erosion and sedimentation control measures at the site during the construction of both on -site and off -site improvements as well as building construction. This mitigation measure shall be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. shpttrpt. doc City of Renton PB/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 4 • Certification of the installation, maintenance and proper removal of the erosion control facilities shall be required prior to the recording of the final short plat. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; 1998 KCSWDM 2. Water Impacts: The applicant has submitted a Drainage Report prepared by Larry S. Krueger, dated October 2002 with the land use application. The report indicates that on -site surface water and surface water runoff from adjacent properties currently infiltrates into the surrounding soil. The report has been reviewed by staff but was not approved because the report doesn't comply with the 1998 storm water manual. The proposed project will require approval of the stormwater system during construction drawing review and prior to final short plat approval. Nevertheless, the report states that the applicant is proposing to collect roof and driveway runoff and convey the stormwater into infiltration trenches. In addition, the applicant is proposing to construct a private street and shared driveway system that would allow stormwater runoff to infiltrate into the soils beneath a proposed permeable roadway surface. In order to protect the sloped property and as May Creek is located directly down slope of this site, staff recommends that the stormwater facilities be designed in accordance with the 1998 King County Surface Water Design Manual, including water quality treatment and infiltration at present rates to allow ground water recharge. This condition would ensure the amount of stormwater runoff and silt generated from the proposed project would not impact neighboring properties or May Creek. Prior to the issuance of construction permits for the installation of the stormwater system, staff will verify the proposed drainage plan is appropriately designed to accommodate stormwater impacts associated with this development. Mitigation Measures: This project shall be designed subject to the 1998 Level 11 King County Surface Water Design Manual. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 3. Fire Protection Impacts: Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide required improvements and fees. The proposal would add new residences to the City, which would potentially impact the City's Fire Emergency Services. Therefore, a Fire Mitigation Fee estimated at $1,464.00 (3 new lots x $488.00 = $1,464.00.00) is required for the proposal, with credit given for the existing residence. The payment of the fee is required prior to the recording of the final plat. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay the appropriate Fire Mitigation Fee based on a rate of $488.00 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final short plat. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Fire Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 2913, Ordinance 4527. 4. Transportation Impacts: Access to the future lots is proposed via a 26-foot wide private street from NE 28'h Street. Specifically, Lots 1 and 2 would be served from a 26-foot wide private street, while Lots 3 and 4 would be served from a 20-foot wide private drive connected to the private street. The proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system; therefore, the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee will be imposed. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is calculated at a rate of $75.00 per additional generated trip per single family home at a rate of 9.57 trips per home. For the proposal, the Traffic Mitigation Fee is estimated at $2,153.25 (3 new lots x 9.57 trips x $75 per trip = $2,153.25), with credit given for the existing residence. The fee is payable prior to the recording of the final short plat. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip associated with the project prior to the recording of the final short plat. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Transportation Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 3100, Ordinance 4527. shpltrpt. doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 5 5. Parks & Recreation Impacts: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed plat. There are existing recreational facilities in the area of the subject property (e.g., May Creek Greenway) and it is anticipated that the proposed development would generate future demand for City parks and recreational facilities and programs. Therefore, a Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per each new single family lot is required for the proposal, with credit given for the existing residence. The fee is estimated at $1,592.28 (3 new lots x $530.76 = $1,592.28) and is payable prior to the recording of the final short plat. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay the appropriate Parks Mitigation Fee based on $530.76 per new single family lot prior to the recording of the final short plat. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Parks Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 3082, Ordinance 4527. B.

Staff Review Comments Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. Consistency With Short Plat Criteria Approval of a plat is based upon several factors. The following short plat criteria have been established to assist decision -makers in the review of the plat: a) Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Designation The site is designated Residential Single Family (RSF) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The RSF designation is intended to promote and enhance single family neighborhoods. The proposal is consistent with the RSF designation in that it would allow for the future construction of new single family homes, thereby promoting goals of inf ill development. The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and Housing Element policies: Policy LU-34. Net development densities should fall within a range of 5 to 8 dwelling units per acre in Residential Single Family neighborhoods. The net density of the proposed subdivision, 6.06 dwelling units per acre, is within the density range prescribed. Policy H-4. Encourage infill development as a means to increase capacity. The proposal would create three additional residential lots, thereby increasing density within a currently developed residential area. shpltrpt.doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page a b) Compliance with the Underlying Zoning Designation The subject site is designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units per Acre (R-8) on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The proposed development would allow for the future construction of three new single family dwelling units. The allowed density range in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 5.0 to a maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre for lots over one-half an acre in net size. Net density is calculated after the deduction of environmentally critical areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private easements serving 3 lots or more from the gross acreage of the site. In this case, the applicant is required to dedicate 10 feet of additional right-of-way along NE 281h Street, which requires an 814 square feet reduction of the net site area. In addition, the applicant is proposing a 26-foot wide private street that would serve more than three units, which requires a 2,990 square feet reduction to the net site area. Finally, the site is classified as having 3,000 square feet of "protected slopes" which is also required to be deducted from the net site area. The total net site area is 28,058 square feet (35,676 total square feet — 814 square feet of r-o-w — 2,990 square feet of private street — 3,000 square feet of protected slopes = 28,872 net square feet). Therefore, the net site area of the proposal is (28,872 square feet or 0.66 acres). This in turn, equates to a net density of 6.25 dwelling units per acre (4 / 0.66 = 6.06 du/ac), which is under the maximum dwelling units per acre (8) allowed within the R-8 zone. The allowed building lot coverage in the R-8 zone is 35 percent or 2,500 square feet whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size and, lots 5,000 square feet or less are allowed to have up to 50% lot coverage. Lot 2, with the existing 2,000 square foot residential structure, would have a lot coverage of approximately 22% after the completion of the short plat, which is below the maximum allowed. As there are other detached accessory structures (sheds) located throughout the subject site, staff recommends that the applicant be required to remove or demolish all other detached accessory structures not located within Lot 2. Staff also recommends that this requirement be completed prior to final short plat recording. Setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: front yard 20 feet, side yard 5 feet, side yard along a street 15 feet, and rear yard 20 feet. It should be noted that a portion of the attached deck located on the northern side of the existing single family residence is non -conforming. Specifically, attached decks over 18-inches in height (measured from finished grade) are subject to the same setback requirements as the primary structure. In this case, approximately 8 lineal feet of the deck projects into the required 20-foot rear yard setback. This area of the deck would be required to be removed or alternatively, the applicant may elect to shift the proposed lot boundaries or apply for an Administrative setback variance (unlikely staff would support such a variance). Prior to recording of the short plat, the existing single family structure (including the attached deck) on Lot 2 would need to meet the minimum required setbacks as established by code. While no construction is planned for new Lots 1, 3 & 4 at this time, the lots appears to have adequate area to provide for a new single family residence while meeting the required setbacks and lot coverage. In addition, each lot would have adequate area to provide two off-street parking spaces as required by the parking regulations. c) Compliance with Subdivision Regulations Streets: No new public streets would be created as part of the proposed short plat. The Subdivision Regulations require the installation of full street improvements, including curb, gutter, 6-foot wide sidewalk, and half -street pavement (approximately 30 feet wide) along the site's subject streets. In addition, the applicant would be required to dedicate 10 feet of additional public right-of-way along the NE 2e Street property frontage and then perform the above -mentioned required improvements (RMC 4-6-060). These requirements cannot be waived or deferred as the site does not provide secondary access (please see discussion under Availability and Impact on Public Services, Streets). The proposed subdivision is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street system. In order to mitigate transportation impacts, the City's Environmental Review Committee placed a SEPA mitigation measure on the project requiring the applicant to pay a Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per net new average daily trip attributed to the project. Each additional lot is expected to generate approximately 9.57 new average weekday trips. Blocks: No new blocks will be created as part of the proposed short plat. shpltrpt. doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 9 Lots: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 4,500 square feet. The short plat would create four lots, which are proposed at 7,666 square feet (Lot 1), 9,138 square feet (Lot 2), 7,200 square feet (Lot 3) and 10,858 square feet (Lot 4) in size. The proposed lot sizes are compatible with other existing lots in this area under the same R-8 zoning classification. The proposed lots also comply with the R-8 requirements for minimum lot width (60 feet for corner lots and 50 feet for interior lots) as well as minimum lot depth (65 feet). In this case, the proposed lot widths range from 75 feet to 81 feet and proposed lot depth ranges from 92 feet to 141 feet. The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the development standards of the R-8 zone. In addition, each lot would have access to a public street (NE 28`h Street). d) Reasonableness of Proposed Boundaries Access: Each lot would have access to a public right-of-way (NE 28'h Street). Specifically, Lot 1 has street frontage along NE 281h Street and would be provided emergency access from that street. Lots 2, 3 and 4 are considered interior lots and would be provided emergency and vehicular access to NE 281h Street from a 26-foot wide private street over proposed Lots 1 and 2 and a 20- foot wide private drive over Lots 2 and 3. The applicant has proposed to locate the emergency vehicle turn -around between Lots 1 and 2, which would allow emergency vehicles to park within 150 feet of proposed Lot 4 . The following table indicates how each lot would receive emergency and vehicular access: Lot # Emergency Access Vehicular Access Lot 1 NE 281h Street 26-foot wide private street Lot 2 26-foot wide private street from NE 281h 26-foot wide private street from NE 281h Street Street Lot 3 20-foot wide drive from 26-foot wide 20-foot wide drive from 26-foot wide private street private street Lot 4 20-foot wide drive from 26-foot wide 20-foot wide drive from 26-foot wide private street private street In order to ensure safe and efficient emergency and vehicular access to the subject site, staff recommends that all lots within the proposed short plat be required to utilize the 26-foot wide private street for vehicular access. Staff recommends that this condition be noted on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. Finally, as emergency and vehicular access is proposed on an easement over Lots 1 through 3, staff recommends that the applicant be required to record a maintenance agreement for all common improvements including paving and stormwater facilities. Topography. The subject site is characterized by having a gradual slope up to a naturally occurring ravine, which is located approximately 40 feet from the subject site's northern property boundary. The site slopes at less than one percent from south to north up to the natural ravine. The ravine slopes to the north in excess of 70% and is classified as a Protected Slope on the City's Slope Atlas. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to place the portion of the property classified as "protected slopes" along with the 25-foot building setback from the top of the slope in a native growth protection easement. This condition would ensure that the slope along with any vegetation within the slope and/or 25-foot buffer would remain undisturbed. Staff also recommends that this condition be noted on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. Please refer to the discussion under "Earth" in the environmental review section of this report for additional analysis. Relationship to Existing Uses: The properties surrounding the subject site are designated Residential — 8 Dwelling Units Per Acre (R-8) on the City's zoning map. The proposal is similar to existing development patterns in the area (i.e. Debar and LaMesa) and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code, which encourage residential infill development. Moreover, as redevelopment occurs in this area of the city, many of the nearby lots have been platted into smaller infill lots ranging from 4,500 square feet to 7,500 square feet in size. shpltrpt. doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 10 e) Availability and Impact on Public Services (Timeliness) Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicate that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provide Code required improvements, and mitigation fees. Therefore, the City's Environmental Review Committee imposed a SEPA mitigation measure requiring the applicant to pay a Fire Mitigation Fee, based on $488.00 per new single family lot with credit given for the existing single family residence. Recreation: The proposal does not provide on -site recreation areas for future residents of the proposed short plat. Therefore, as part of the environmental review process for this proposal, the City's Environmental Review Committee imposed a condition requiring the applicant to pay a Parks Mitigation Fee of $530.76 per new single family lot with credit given for the existing single family residence. Schools: According to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the City of Renton Land Use Element (January 16, 1992), the City of Renton has a student generation factor of 0.44 students per single family residential dwelling. Therefore, it is anticipated that the proposed short plat would result in 1.32 (0.44 X 3 = 1.32) new children to the local schools (Kennydale Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, and Hazen High School). The Renton School District has indicated they can accommodate the additional students generated by this proposal. Streets: The subject site is located along NE 28`h Street. No additional public streets are required as part of this proposal. However, NE 28 h Street is considered a "Dead End" street and the project site is located over 700 feet from the nearest public right-of-way intersection (Aberdeen Avenue NE and NE 27'h Street). Pursuant to the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-060G. "Two,means of access and fire sprinklers are required for all houses beyond 500 feet" unless modified by the Planning, Building and Public works Administrator. In this case, secondary access cannot be achieved due to the location of the subject site. Therefore, in lieu of secondary access, the applicant would be required to dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way along NE 28th Street and complete all code -required improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalks). In addition, Fire Department staff recommends that the applicant be required to provide automatic fire suppression systems for each new single family residence. Staff recommends that this condition be placed on the face of the final short plat prior to recording. Finally, staff recommends that residential addresses be visible from a public street by depicting the residential address on an approved private street sign. This condition would ensure that all emer ency response vehicles would be able to locate any residence from the public right-of-way (NE 28 Street). - It should also be noted that the applicant would be required to pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75.00 per each new trip generated by the proposal prior to the recording of the short plat. Please see above discussion regarding "Access." Storm Water. Storm water facilities are located in NE 28`h Street. A drainage narrative was submitted with the application and has been reviewed by the City of Renton's Plan Review Section. The narrative indicated the applicant preference to utilize Eco-Stone, which is a permeable paving system. However, pursuant to RMC 4-6-060F6, "Pavement Thickness: New pavement shall be a minimum of four inches of asphalt over six inches of crushed rock." RMC 4-6-060F6a allows applicant to propose an alternate design; however, in this case the Development Services Division and the Fire Department does not consider the Eco-Stone system an acceptable alternative. Therefore, the applicant would be required to pave the 26-foot wide private street and 20-foot wide private drive to required City standards. Finally, a Surface Water System Development Charge of $525.00 per new single family lot would be collected as part of the construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat. Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities: There is an existing 8-inch water main and 8-inch sewer main located in NE 28`h Street. The applicant would be required to make all other necessary connections to serve future development on New Lots 1, 3 and 4. A Water System Development Charge of $1,105 per new single family lot, as well as a Sewer System Development Charge of $760.00 per new single family lot, would be collected as part of the construction permit or prior to the recording of the short plat. shpitrpt. doc City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Land Use Action REPORT AND DECISION DATED NOVEMBER 19; 2002 PROJECT LUA-02-111, SHPL-A, ECF Page 11 G.

Based upon previous bookings at King County Jail, it is estimated that $300,000 annually, could be generated by these outside agency bookings. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to accept jail bookings from other municipalities on a space -available basis, and that a booking fee of $64.83 be collected from all individuals booked into the Renton Jail beginning in 2005, and that the necessary ordinance and resolution implementing these contracts be prepared and presented for adoption as part of the 2005 budget process. (AGENDA94) Rentonnet/ab bill/ bh RENTON POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: October 4, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: - Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor FROM: Garry Anderson, Chief of Police STAFF CONTACT: Penny Bartley, Police Manager (XT 7565) SUBJECT: Issue Paper 1) Bookings at Renton Jail from Other Agencies 2) Renton Jail Booking Fees ISSUES: In 2002, 35 of 37 King County cities entered into an agreement with King County for the purpose of inmate housing. The Jail Contract with King County requires the removal of all municipal agency misdemeant inmates from King County jails by December 31, 2012. The contract also provides for interim reductions in use prior to the 2012 deadline. In order to meet the eventual loss of King County jail space, 35 of the 39 agencies entered into contracts with Yakima County for the housing of misdemeant inmates. Renton entered into agreements with 22 of the 35 cities to provide for the temporary housing of inmates prior to their transfer to Yakima. These agreements have resulted in revenue for the City of Renton. In 2003 the revenue amount was $89,000, and in 2004 it is estimated to be $120,000. The Renton Jail has been asked by several South King County agencies to accept direct bookings from them as well. This could increase the amount of revenue for jail bookings to approximately $300,000 annually. Additionally, the Washington State Legislature revised RCW 70.48.390 in 2003. This statute allows for jails to collect booking fees from individuals being booked into jail. Prior to the revisions, the maximum amount that could be collected was $10. The statute now allows for full cost recovery. Implementation of a booking fee would result in approximately $35,000 annually. ISSUE 1 — BOOKINGS FROM OTHER AGENCIES BACKGROUND: In the mid 1980's, the Renton Jail terminated its contract with the City of Tukwila for jail services. The City of Renton had reached its capacity with local inmates. Arrests from cities without a local jail had to be taken to King County Jail. In 1997, the Regional Justice Center (RJC) opened in Kent. The RJC provided much needed jail space in the South King County region. However, in December 1999 King County closed the RJC after business hours for bookings. This placed an undo burden on South King County agencies and required inmates to be taken to the main facility in Seattle for booking on weekends and after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. The travel distance, combined with the high booking costs at King County Jail created a high demand for local jail services in the South King County region. Additionally, the 35 cities that have contracts with Yakima are trying to keep their contracted number of beds full in Yakima. In order to increase the number of inmates that are transferred to Yakima County, the number of inmates that are booked into King County Jail needs to be reduced. To achieve both of these goals simultaneously, bookings from law enforcement agencies must be diverted from King County jail and taken directly to other facilities that have transportation arrangements with Yakima County. Washington state law RCW 70.48.090 allows for the contracting between governments for jail services. The statute: 1) Requires that the contracts be in writing 2) Gives responsibility to the governing unit for the operations of the jail 3) Specifies the responsibility of each governing unit involved and 4) Includes applicable charges and a basis for adjustments The statute further provides for termination of the contracts between agencies upon 90 days written notice. A recent survey shows that 43 of 59 jails in Washington State currently accept bookings from other agencies. The jails, excluding King County, charge a booking fee that ranges from $0 to $120 and a daily maintenance fee between $40 and $80. King County Jail rates continue to increase on an annual basis and the anticipated rates for 2005 are $176.20 for booking and $92.33 for each maintenance day. A "booking" happens when a person is taken to the jail and goes through the intake process. Every time a person is taken to a King County Jail a booking charge is accrued. After the initial booking, agencies then begin accruing the daily maintenance rate. The current King County Jail contract provides for an annual increase of 5.8% and an additional facilities surcharge for capital projects that will result in an additional daily fee of $1.40 in 2006. Yakima County Jail does not charge a booking fee and the daily rate for 2005 is $64.83. The difference in booking fees and the contractual agreement to discontinue the use of the King County Jail has prompted several cities to approach the City of Renton and request that they be able to utilize the Renton Jail for booking of inmates. As mentioned above, the City of Renton has previously served as a booking facility. From 1963 until 1985 the city accepted inmates from the City of Tukwila, FBI, INS and the US Marshals. It is now recommended that we, again, serve as a booking facility for other South King County agencies. This recommendation will result in the increase of bookings from other agencies; however, it will reduce the amount of work that is currently being done within the jail. This reduction is based upon the fact that the same inmate will not have to be moved as many times. The City of Renton will be responsible for the transport decision, which will allow us to send inmates as necessary to maintain a constant population both here and in Yakima. This population will still allow sufficient capacity for bookings of our own inmates and those from other agencies. As the Council is aware, the City of Renton is facing increasingly slow revenue growth, with increasing pressure to find ways to help balance the budget. As mentioned above, accepting initial bookings will not increase Renton's workload, will actually save contracting cities money, and will result in up to $300,000 of additional revenue. Booking Fees: The recommended daily maintenance fee we would charge is $64.83. This fee is the same fee that is charged by Yakima County. Charging the same fee as Yakima makes the transfer of Renton inmates cost neutral to the City of Renton. Capacity: The average daily population (ADP) in the Renton jail is 57. Our capacity is 50. Jail population is counted in 24-hour increments and all inmates are counted for a minimum of 1 day. This results in an artificial increase in the ADP. For example, there may be 35 inmates in custody, 10 returns from Yakima, 7 new bookings, and 8 releases that day. The daily population for that day would still be 52, because that was the total number of inmates in custody at any time that day. Medical Fees: The suggested daily maintenance rate is $64.83. We will eliminate the $25.00 transfer booking fee from agencies that we accept bookings. Yakima County pools $5.00 of the daily fee into a medical account to pay for medical services for inmates. We would not maintain a medical pool. Instead we would charge agencies actual costs for medical expenses that we incur. We do not charge additional fees for the medical staff because we pay a fixed rate based upon the hours worked, not the inmates seen. Medical hours will not be increased as a result of this contract. Transportation: The $5.00 that is designated for medical services in Yakima will be designated as a transportation fee. This fee will allow us to purchase Metro bus passes and provide those to inmates upon release, which allows the inmate to return to their residence. In the two years that we have had other agency's inmates in our facility we have never had an inmate arrested upon release for a new crime from another City. The City of Renton will not provide any transportation for outside agency inmates. The arresting agency is responsible to bring the inmate to our jail and is responsible for any court appearances or other matters that require transportation. Right to Refuse: The Renton Jail will continue to have the right to refuse any inmate that is deemed unfit for incarceration. The refusal can be based upon a variety of reasons, but the most common reasons for refusal are intoxication on the part of the inmate or medical concerns. If the inmate is refused, the booking agency will be required to immediately remove the inmate from the Renton Jail and transport them to another facility. The Jail has the authority to refuse an inmate at any time during the booking, or after an inmate has been accepted. If an inmate is causing a problem within the Jail, the booking agency is again notified and told to immediately remove the inmate from our facility. Liability Coverage: Staff recommends that the City of Renton handle legal defense and any potential settlements in the same manner as King County, and assess a legal fee if there are any payouts that need to be covered. For example, King County looks at total liabilities and then divides any costs and settlements among all the jail days served and assesses the agencies an additional fee the next year. ISSUE 2 - BOOKING FEES: BACKGROUND: The Washington State Legislature authorized the collection of booking fees from inmates being booked into jails under RCW 70.48.390. Until 2003, the amount that could be charged was only $10. However the law was revised in 2003 allowing for full cost recovery, or $100, whichever was less. Implementing a booking fee will result in the collection of approximately $35,000 in 2005. Many local jails are in the process of implementing a booking fee in 2005. Those jails include King County and Kent. Both have decided to implement the booking fee based upon the change in the law that allows agencies to recover their full costs and a growing desire to have the people that are incarcerated pay some of the financial costs associated with the incarceration, not spreading the cost to the tax payer. Booking fees are also assessed by Yakima County and Okanogan County Jails, which we use for Renton inmates. The proposed booking fee is $64.83. This amount is the same amount we propose charging other agencies for bookings, and is the same amount that we pay for inmates housed in Yakima County Jail. Bookings fees will be assessed upon entry into the jail. If the charges are dismissed, the person can make a claim through the City for reimbursement as required by the statute. In order to determine how much money instituting a booking fee would raise, staff randomly reviewed 10% of the bookings from 2004. Of those bookings, it was found that even if the booking fee was $64.83 the average amount actually collectible at booking was $25. That amount was calculated on 1,200 bookings resulting in the estimated $30,000 in revenue. We are not able to collect fees from both the inmate and an arresting agency. If the inmate is not able to pay the fee, a negative balance will be stored in the booking records. If the inmate returns to jail in the future, an attempt will be made to collect any negative balances. Unpaid fees could also be sent to collection. Booking fees will be collected from either the booking agency, or directly from the inmate in the case of Renton arrests. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval to accept jail bookings from other municipalities on a space -available basis, and that a booking fee of $64.83 be collected from all individuals booked into the Renton Jail beginning in 2005, and that the necessary ordinance and resolution implementing these contracts be prepared and presented for adoption as part of the 2005 budget process.

SUMMARY OF ACTIONS: • Center Oak Properties is proposing a revised Conceptual Plan for an initial phase of redevelopment of surplus property at the Boeing Renton Plant. The 2003 Development Agreement with the Boeing Company requires Council adoption of a Conceptual Plan prior to redevelopment. This Conceptual Plan will serve as the basis for all future land use approvals related to this development. • Additionally, Center Oak is asking Council for adoption of a Planned Action (as allowed in RCW 43.21C.031 and WAC 197-11-164, 168 and 315). Since a major EIS has already been completed for this site, additional detailed environmental analysis is not required. A public hearing is required prior to adoption of a Planned Action. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: • Approve the proposed Conceptual Plan. • Direct the City Attorney's office to prepare necessary legislation for adoption of the Planned Action. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bh CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: October 4, 2004 TO: Don Persson, President City Council Members •C, VIA: o)Omayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator KV4 Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department SUBJECT: SOUTH LAKE WASHINGTON REDEVELOPMENT APPROVALS ISSI M. The City Council is asked to approve a new Conceptual Plan for the 46-acre surplus Boeing property in South Lake Washington and, subsequently, review and approve a Planned Action for the proposed lifestyle retail center proposed by the developer, Center Oak Properties. RECOMMENDATION: • Approve the proposed Conceptual Plan and Planned Action. • Schedule a public hearing for review of the Planned Action to be held October 25, 2004. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In December 2003, the City Council adopted a development agreement with The Boeing Company which requires approval of a conceptual plan prior to sale of any surplus property that may be made available at its manufacturing facility in the South Lake Washington area. The conceptual plan will be used as the basis for all future land use approvals for each property. As a part of the adopted development agreement, the Council approved a conceptual plan for redevelopment of 46-acres of property described as Subdistrict IA. However, Boeing has recently selected a developer for this property, Center Oak Properties of Gresham, OR. The October 4, 2004 Page 2 proposed Center Oak development project differs from the originally adopted conceptual plan and Council review and approval is required. Additionally, Center Oak is requesting adoption of a Planned Action for its project. Under SEPA, local jurisdictions are allowed to adopt a planned action if an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has or will be completed. As a result, designating a planned action shifts environmental review of a project from the time a permit application is made to an earlier phase in the planning process. In designating a planned action, projects are not required to undergo additional SEPA/public notice requirements at the master and site plan review stage(s), nor are there opportunities for project specific SEPA appeals. Since an EIS was completed for the entire Boeing Renton Plant, sufficient environmental review has already occurred, and a Planned Action can be adopted subsequent to the adoption of the Conceptual Plan. CONCLUSION: Center Oak's proposed Conceptual Plan is a significant improvement over that which was originally adopted in the 2003 Development Agreement. Approving this Conceptual Plan will provide the City with certainty related to key factors related to the proposed development (e.g. square footage, road network, mix of uses, etc). Further, approval of a Planned Action at this stage will eliminate unnecessary process and time as significant environmental review has already been conducted on this site. cc: Jay Covington Gregg Zimmerman Neil Watts Jason Jordan ED 0 ®ate /D- //- a00 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE COMMITTEE REPORT October 11, 2004 Council Policy & Procedure #800-01 Update (Referred 9/27/2004) The Committee of the Whole has reviewed Council Policy and Procedure #800-01, Council President and Pro Tem, and recommends a revision to Procedure Section 6.1 to change the date for opening the floor to nominations for electing a Council president and president pro . tem for the following year from the„ first regularly -scheduled City Council meeting in December to the first regularly -scheduled City Council meeting in November.
