City Council Regular Meeting - 18 Jul 2022
SUBJECT/TITLE: All is Well Filming – Parks and Recreation Fee Waiver Request
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Parks & Recreation Department
STAFF CONTACT: Sonja Mejlaender, Community Events Coordinator
EXT.: 6514
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Total amount of fees to be waived equals $1,200.00 as identified.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City of Renton provides numerous opportunities to engage in the community, its culture, and its citizens
through single, seasonal, and reoccurring programs and events. Fee waivers are provided to groups who
provide these opportunities, who may not be able to put them on with the added burden of the city's
logistical, parking, rental, and permit fees. This request is to waive the quoted $1,200.00 Parks and Recreation
Facility and Use - Photo Shoot Per Hour Fee (2021-2022 City of Renton Fee Schedule, Section VI. 9.a.) or
reduce the fee closer to the cost of filming in Seattle ($25/day), as stated on the fee waiver request form. The
requestor is a commercial film production company and their client is the WA State Department of Health. The
goal of the filmed commercial is to spread thanks and gratitude to the community of WA for continuing to be
responsible and safe during the pandemic. The commercial will feature a business and neighborhood in
Renton to represent the community of the entire state of Washington. This commercial will benefit Renton
and it’s citizens as it will bring revenue to the city with the crew, talent, and vendors they will be partnering
with for the film shoot.
EXHIBITS:
A. Fee waiver - All is Well 7.7.2022
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the requested Parks and Recreation Photo Shoot fee waiver of $1,200.00 for All is Well Studios film shoot on

Type of event: COMMERCIAL FILM PRODUCTION
Staff contact/number: JIMMY CANAVAN / (323) 363-3062
What is the total cost of the rental and applicable fees? APPROX $1,200 FOR 4 HOURS (WERE QUOTED
$300/HR)
What is the cost of the fee waiver or reduction requested? OUR HOPE WOULD BE TO GET THE FEE CLOSER TO
THE COST OF FILMING IN SEATTLE (WHICH IS $25/DAY).
Describe event and explain why a reduction or waive of fees will benefit our Renton citizens: Our event is a
commercial film production for our client, the WA State Dept. of Health. The goal of the commercial is to
spread thanks and gratitude to the community of WA for continuing to be responsible and safe during the
pandemic. The commercial will feature a business and neighborhood in Renton to represent the community of
the entire state of Washington. This commercial will benefit Renton and it’s citizens as it will bring revenue to
the city with our crew, talent, and vendors we will be partnering with for the film shoot. There are clients from
AGENDA ITEM #5. c)
DOH and the ad agency involved that will be coming into town for the filming and will be getting
accommodations and staying within Renton, as well as spending time and money in the community. It will also
raise the value of filming in Renton as we spread the word and visuals to the larger WA film community based
on the this project. Our budget for the commercial is also tight, so spending less on the permit will allow us to
spend more in the community during our time filming in Renton. The standard cost for filming in Seattle is
$25/day, so the difference to film in Renton is quite different, and we’d love to be able to film in Renton more
and help grow the film community there and bring more revenue to the city.
