A special thank you to all the friends, and all the supporters, and all of those people who gave so much of their time and talents and energies to help me get elected to this wonderful position of Mayor. It is truly an honor to be an elected official in this community. I've had that honor for twenty years as a Councilmember - I still love representing you and I'm thrilled to be able to do that as your Mayor for the next four years. Thanks to my good friend Chris Gregoire for making the trek from Olympia to honor our community and me by being here for this ceremony. Thank you so much for being here tonight. You've made it truly special and I really appreciate the fact that you were able to be here and that you were committed to come tonight. Thank you very much. There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe all that I'm feeling and all that I want to say right now. I've always considered myself a better listener than a public speaker and I have spent the weeks since the election in a learning and listening phase. I attended a U.S. Conference of Mayors "New Mayors Program" at Harvard, at the Kennedy School, and there I listened to mayors from all across the country as they shared their experiences with a very small group of new mayors. I learned what it means to be a mayor, how to be a good mayor, and how not to make the mistakes that some of the folks made. It was a very valuable experience for me and it didn't cost the City anything, and I learned a tremendous amount from them. I had a list of about 150 people I wanted to meet with including City administrators, City staff, community groups, and business leaders. To date I have met with about 50 of them. I will continue to meet with them as time allows. I listened to what they had to say and heard some of their ideas and I am compiling a list of things we need to work on together. During the campaign I listened to many citizens and their input was surprisingly consistent whether they were new or old residents of Renton. Citizen concerns can be summed up in seven simple phrases: 1) People want their government to be accessible. 2) People want their government to be accountable. 3) People want their community to be safe and secure. 4) People want a strong local economy, good jobs, good schools, and places to shop and go out to eat. 5) People want to be able to get from point A to point B without spending so much time stuck in traffic. Page 1 6) People want their government to be responsive to their needs and to communicate the truth to them in a meaningful, forthright manner. 7) People want to be able to trust that their tax dollars are being spent wisely. All that sounds pretty basic but it takes a lot of work to make it all happen consistently. Let me give you a few examples. When I started on the City Council twenty years ago, economic development was not as big a concern; we had Boeing and its high -paying jobs and a solid property tax base to fund City services. About 15 years ago that began to change as those jobs were moving elsewhere and cities became more dependent on sales taxes to fund local services. In response, we successfully positioned Renton to better compete for commercial development and sales tax revenues. I've heard from residents and business owners alike that we need to keep up the momentum so Renton does not lose its competitive edge. We will work daily to take local and regional actions that are consistent with our mission to make Renton the very best community we can be. I have also heard clearly and consistently that Renton should have quality development in terms of housing, shopping, and employment. Renton is a unique, desirable location in which to live and conduct business. All of you know that; you're here; you're from Renton. You live here, you work here, you play here, and you like Renton. We don't have to "settle" for whatever we can get. We do need to protect the investment of residents and business owners by making sure new development makes a positive contribution to Renton's quality of life and our sense of community. Our city will continue to grow and we will make sure that new development (including residential neighborhoods, retail, office, and industrial projects) meets the quality standards Renton deserves! We need to work to channel growth in ways that will increase our quality of life, not diminish it. For the past ten years we have focused much of the City's efforts on building "things." These have been good investments that will serve us well for many years. We will continue to work on these types of projects, but now we need to focus more of the City's resources on building something that will last longer and make Renton a better place. Page 2 We need to work on building the "Community of Renton." We can improve the physical environment through higher quality development I just mentioned. But more than that, we must reach out to all of Renton's citizens so they become a part of the soul of our community. Not every community has a soul, but Renton does, and it's special. Renton has a diverse population that seems to be changing almost daily. We need to tap into that diversity and explore what these groups and individuals can contribute to the broader community. One group in particular we need to reach is our young people. Today's students are the future Mayors, Councilmembers, City staff, and voters. We need to involve our young people in the fabric of the community, mentor them, teach them, and even listen to them. Yes, they have good ideas too and the sooner we reach out to them, the better for the future of our community. We need to learn to say thank you more often. Thank you to the people who help us. Thank you to the people who do things in our community. We need to learn to appreciate what we have because the heart and soul of Renton is unique and worth nurturing. For example, we have several maintenance crews that keep our streets and utilities in good working order. In fact today they have been busy repairing water pipe breaks caused by the freezing weather and tonight, all night, they are ready to go to work sanding and plowing city streets if the snow comes as is anticipated. We have planners and inspectors who make sure land use, health, and safety standards are being followed. We have department administrators and managers who make sure City staff has the necessary resources to do their jobs and do them well. We have librarians who help our kids find information for school reports or career choices. We have clerks who make sure public records are properly maintained and available and open for public inspection. We have finance staff that make sure every penny we collect and spend is accounted for. We have staff who conduct exercise classes for seniors, serve as lifeguards in the summer, and write grant applications to keep so many of our programs funded. We have emergency services, police and fire, who are there for you 24/7 and all it takes is one phone call. How cool is that? One phone call, and you get somebody coming to your house 24/7 if you need help. Page 3 We have people who make sure your drinking water is safe every time you turn on the tap. No matter when you turn it on. In some countries they don't have that; they have to drink bottled water because their water is not safe for human beings to drink. This is just a sampling of the work that City staff do every day on your behalf. There are also many people who volunteer to serve on City boards and commissions. It takes a lot of time, they don't get paid anything but they do it because they care about this community. And then there is our elected City Council. Tonight we welcome two new members, Marcie and Denis, and we return two of our veterans, Toni and Don. These are the people who set policy for the City and I am committed to working collaboratively with them during the next four years. My responsibility as Mayor is different than my responsibility as a Councilmember. But all eight of us are elected to represent all the citizens of Renton and we need to work together in order to do that effectively. When I saw my name on my new business cards and it said Mayor, I realized two things. First, I need bigger business cards to be able to fit my name on one line! Second, and more important, I realized that this administration is not about me, even though it is my name on that new business card. This administration is about the sacred trust of public service and the commitment to serving the people of Renton. As elected officials and staff, our duty is to give you, our citizens, our best ideas and our best efforts each and every day. I will serve to the very best of my ability and that is my promise and commitment to you as your Mayor. Tonight I am starting down a new path. A path of open government that reaches out to all of Renton's citizens and involves them in the decisions and the solutions. A path of economic development that benefits the community and the bottom line by attracting a good mix of retail tax base and living wage jobs. A path that seeks regional solutions to transportation problems by representing Renton's interests and recognizing that we have common goals with other cities. Page 4 A path of sustainable growth that protects our aquifer, balances economic growth with environmental concerns, and demands a higher quality of development that leaves Renton a better place for our children and grandchildren. And finally, a path that values people as individuals and as part of the larger Renton community. We are a diverse group of people, more alike than different. We can accomplish so much more by working together. I will make mistakes. I will stumble sometimes. But I will do everything in my power to fulfill the duties of this office with honor and integrity. I will tell you the truth, whether you want to hear it or not. I will ask for your help when I need it and I will expect you to give it. I will listen to your ideas. I will treat your tax dollars as if they were coming out of my own wallet. And I will do everything I can to live up to the trust you have placed in me by electing me as your Mayor. You will hear more specific things from me at the State of the City address in February after I have had an opportunity to meet with the Council and Administrators in a retreat setting. And after I have had more than two days in this job! For now, to paraphrase one of my favorite quotes from Emerson: "To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded." That is my challenge and my commitment; to leave Renton a better place, a place you can be proud to call home, a place that is welcoming and vibrant, a place that is the very best we can be. Thank you for coming tonight. It's going to be a heck of a ride for the next four years, and I'm planning to enjoy every minute of it and work very hard on your behalf. I invite you to the reception across the hall. Page 5 AGENDA RENTON CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING January 5, 2004 Monday, 7:30 p.m. 1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL 3.

CITY OF RENTON MEMORANDUM DATE: January 5, 2004 TO: Don Persson, Council President Members of the Renton City Council FROM: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer SUBJECT: Administrative Report In addition to our day to -day activities, the following items are worthy of note for this week: ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND LEGAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT • The January 2004 edition of CitySource, the City's newsletter to citizens and businesses, will be featured in the January 7 h issue of the Renton Reporter. This edition features a message to citizens from Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler along with information about the oath of office ceremony, the 2004 Budget, CISR Mentoring Program, recreation opportunities, the generosity of City employees, and Renton City Council Highlights. CitySource can be found on the City's website, www.ci.renton.wa.us, through the Spotlight section under the press release option. COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT • Thank you to the Renton Lions Club and K/P Corporation for their $500 donations to the City of Renton Giving Tree Program. As a result of these donations, and generous gifts from the Renton Community and employees, every tag was taken and all 260 individuals on the tree were remembered with gifts during the holiday season. PLANNINGBUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT King County Road Services closed the Elliott Bridge on 149th Avenue SE to through traffic on Friday, January 2°a The bridge spans the Cedar River between SE Jones Road and SR 169 to the east of Renton. County engineers decided to close the bridge for safety reasons following an inspection that revealed severe corrosion to the bridge's main span. New steel members will be installed to strengthen the weakened portion of the bridge, with completion estimated at approximately four to six weeks. The County plans to begin construction of a new bridge later in 2004, but it is important to make these interim repairs to keep the current bridge open to traffic until the new bridge is built. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes while repairs are underway. With snowfall anticipated, City crews stand ready to plow and sand to make driving safer in and around town. When snow arrives, plowing and sanding receives 24-hour coverage. The City uses five sanding trucks that are dispatched to five areas in the City. First priority are those streets that receive a high volume of traffic such as NE 4th, Sunset, Benson, Talbot, and Carr Road, in addition to school routes and the main access roads to Renton Hill and West Hill. During peak commute hours, these streets receive the most attention, because sand dissipates quickly on well -traveled roads. Secondary arterials such as Union and Duvall are next, with the residential areas receiving attention when the primary and secondary routes are completed. During severe weather conditions, high priority areas are sanded four times during a 24-hour period. Problem areas reported by police, citizens, or other public works departments are handled by priority and truck availability. Administrative Report January 5, 2004 Page 2 Cold weather contributed to a major water main break early this morning at the Windsor Hills Pump Station near NE Sunset Blvd. Crews were dispatched to isolate the break and begin repair operations. Three residences were temporarily out of water during the repairs, and released water has done some limited damage along the road and to the interior of three offices down the hill at the PACCAR facility. Also being repaired are two smaller water pipe breaks at Mill Avenue near the museum and along Lake Avenue South in the Talbot Hill neighborhood. During repairs, there was a short water interruption from noon to 2:00 p.m. to approximately 150 residences in the Windsor Hills neighborhood. During freezing weather, residents and businesses can take several steps to protect water pipes. Before freezing weather, it is important that household members know where the main shut-off valve is located, ensure that pipes in unheated parts of the house are insulated, and that hoses are removed from outside faucets. Underground irrigation systems should also be drained. All rooms in the home that have plumbing fixtures should be heated. Meter box lids should be closed to prevent cold air from freezing the meter. If there have been previous pipe -freezing problems and no other solutions are available, temporarily keep a trickle of water running from the highest faucet in the house. This trickle should be a steady stream the size of the lead in a pencil. Should a pipe freeze, never thaw it with an open flame because it can cause a fire. Use hot air from a hair dryer, the exhaust from a vacuum cleaner, heat lamps, light bulbs, or electric heaters. • Current weather conditions may impact curbside collection services.

Mr. Holmes recently installed `a sanitary sewer line to a new house he was building for himself. The sewer line is a City of Renton sewer main that is sized to serve properties upstream from his property and is located such that it will also serve the property adjacent to the south. Mr. Holmes did not request a late -comers agreement before he installed the sewer line, because he needed to complete his new house as quickly as he could so his family had a place to live, as he had already sold the house they had been living in. The sewer line is of considerable length to serve only his property and of considerable expense. Mr. Holmes is asking the City Council to grant an exception to the City regulation requiring an application for the late -comers agreement prior to construction so that he can submit the application at this time. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue please give me a call.
