He’s here!
King County Sheriff ’s detectives arrested Jordan Rashaan Coleman Saturday afternoon for the Nov. 18 murder of 26-year-old Dorian M. Haddix in Covington. The 18-year-old Coleman, who is from Renton, was arrested on the charge of firstdegree murder. He appeared in King County Superior Court Monday and is being held on $1 million bail. He was scheduled to make a second appearance Wednesday for a charging hearing, according to King County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Dan Donohoe. Coleman is alleged to have shot Haddix sometime prior to 3:19 a.m. when he was found lying on the road at Southeast Timberlane Boulevard and 185th Court Southeast. A woman called 911 to report a man lying in the road bleeding. Deputies responded [ more MURDER page 4 ]

Council ready to send Fire Authority plan to voters in April If approved the Renton Regional Fire Authority would control its own revenue stream, build new station in Kennydale After nearly two years of discussion, the Renton City Council this week is expected to pass a measure placing on the April ballot the choice of whether to switch fire service from a city-based model to a Regional Fire Authority. The council this month approved the “Renton Regional Fire Authority” plan as presented during a committee of the whole meeting. Now it will be up to the voters. The idea behind the transition to a Regional Fire Authority, which would take the department off of city books and give
the fire services the ability to create their own revenue stream, began following the council’s annual retreat in February 2014. Facing rising costs and a cap on revenues that does not meet those costs, the city is hoping an authority will help free up money in the budget, though it would mean a loosening of city control over the department and operations. A regional fire authority is a specialpurpose tax district created by voters that combines at least two existing fire districts into a single entity. In Renton’s case, the authority would be a combination of Renton Fire Department and King County Fire District No. 25, which presently contracts

the RFA. The new RFA would be governed by a six-member board consisting of three elected officials from each jurisdiction. The biggest change, if it’s approved by voters, would be the funding mechanism for the RFA. Currently, resident pay for fire service as part of their property taxes, estimated at about $1.61 per $1,000 assessed value. Under the RFA model, the authority would levy a property tax of up to $1 per assessed value and assess a “Fire Benefit Charge” that can count for up to 60 percent of the operating budget. Instead of property value, a fire benefit charge bases the cost on the size of the structure, with credits given for alarm systems and sprinklers and other fire -sup[ more RRFA page 16 ]

with Renton for service. According to Fire Chief Mark Peterson, who presented the completed plan to the council on Nov. 23, Fire Districts 20 and 40 were also invited to join but declined. In total, the new district would serve a population of 128,000 spread over 33.5 square miles. It wold have a total of seven stations and 190 employees. Peterson said demand for services are increasing at a rate of about 3 percent each year and that planning documents show an expected increase in population for the area of about 40,000 by 2035, meaning even more calls for service. Peterson also said the fire department has determined that a new station is needed in the Kennydale area and nine additional employees to staff an aid unit in the south end are needed, both of which would be covered with passage of

New Riverview Park pedestrian bridge ready After a delay of several months to complete fabrication, the new bridge will be installed Friday BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A new 135-foot pedestrian bridge spanning the Cedar River at Riverview Park will be lifted into place on Friday. The work will require the diversion of two eastbound lanes of Maple Valley Highway/SR 169 in Renton into one lane to accommodate the delivery and installation of the bridge. The diversion is between 3 a.m. and 1 p.m. one-half mile east of the Renton Community Center to Southeast Fifth Street. No left turns will be allowed to Southeast Fifth Street during the closure. The two westbound lanes of the Maple Valley Highway will remain open. The 15-ton aluminum bridge is replacing a 1960s-era one whose wooden pilings were repeatedly battered by debris from flood waters and had to be torn down for safety reasons in summer 2014.
The city expects to have the new bridge open to the public by the New Year, with a grand-opening celebration next spring. The bridge was to be delivered whole and parked on a trailer by 3 a.m. this morning. The actual installation will begin at 7 a.m. under city code and should take about an hour. Following a final visual inspection of the bridge, a crane in the Riverview Park parking lot will lift the entire bridge up and over the Cedar River, placing it on the constructed bridge abutments, according to Todd Black, a City of Renton capital project coordinator. Crews will install the aluminum mesh decking and utility pipes below the decking, which will take several days. The cost to demolish the old wooden bridge and design and build a new aluminum structure is approximately $1.4 million. The city received nearly $1.1 million for the project from the state in 2014.
The Riverview Park bridge will be replaced Friday. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter The 1960s-era former bridge was constructed on creosote-soaked wood piles set in the Cedar River. Every winter, debris, including large logs, would be caught on the piers, according to Black. A structural engineer’s report in 2012 stated that the substructure was in poor condition. The city
received letters of support from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe for replacement with a single-span bridge. Reach Dean A. Radford at 425255-3484, ext. 5150.

and found Haddix in the street with a gunshot wound to his left side. Kent Regional Fire Authority emergency medical personnel responded and Haddix was pronounced dead at 3:54 a.m. at the scene. According to the probable cause document, detectives recovered Haddix’s cellphone and found the last person to talk with him was a man named Lil Groove or by the last name Hollis. Through text messages, witness statements and cell phone toll records, detectives determined Hollis was the last person with Haddix. The Bellevue Police Department contacted the King County Sheriff ’s Major Crimes Unit detectives Dec. 2 to notify them that Hollis had been arrested. When a detective requested an interview with the Hollis he declined and requested an attorney. Detectives contacted Hollis’ girlfriend and she reported Hollis told her that he saw Coleman shoot and kill Haddix. She identified Coleman as someone she knew from high school.

Two days later the girlfriend called detectives stating Hollis was ready to make a statement. Hollis was taken from the King County Jail and brought to the major crimes unit office. According to the probable cause document, Hollis told detectives the night of Nov. 17 he “brokered a business deal” between Coleman and Haddix. He told investigators the deal did not come to “fruition.” Hollis reported a video was made of Coleman describing the murder. According to the investigators, the video showed Hollis and Coleman talking and joking about the murder. Coleman described aiming at Haddix who was “ducking” and he provided information only know to the killer. Based on the interview a search warrant was served on Coleman’s residence. During the arrest Coleman denied shooting and killing Haddix , knowing Hollis or that he had gone to Covington. When told of the video he requested an attorney.

WIFE HARASSED: A Renton Police officer on Nov. 20 spotted a man riding a
red bicycle who generally matched a Seattle man who threatened to kill his estranged wife outside a small grocery store on South Second Street. This was how the officer succinctly described the man: “The male was drinking a can of beer while he drove without a helmet on a downtown Renton sidewalk.” The man threw the beer into the bushes when the officer pulled up. The two have been living on the streets and frequently visit Renton. The 38-year-old Seattle man was booked into the Regional Justice Center jail in Kent for a $5,000 DUI warrant. He was warned about the beer and riding without a helmet. His wife was offered options for a shelter.

ruse so that a woman could a get a prescription for Oxycodone filled at a Target pharmacy in Lynnwood. The clinic clerk didn’t call 911, because she considered the threat a prank. The caller sounded like a man using a “fake” Middle Eastern accent. Later, she got the call from Target, wanting to verify the prescription. The prescription was a fake. Apparently, the woman hoped the bomb threat would cause the clinic to evacuate, preventing Target from verifying the prescription. The Drug Enforcement Agency is investigating this and other fake prescriptions linked to the clinic and other jurisdictions.

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
Marianne Binetti
The second week of December is when many families cut or collect their Christmas tree. If you are wondering whether it is better for the environment to enjoy a live or artificial tree the debate rages on. Living trees are often grown on small family farms and provide food and shelter for wild life as they grow. Harvesting a tree from the forest (get a permit first) helps to thin the understory so other native plants will grow better. Cut Christmas trees can also be recycled as compost or mulch – plus you get that great Christmas tree fragrance. Another option is a potted living Christmas tree, usually a spruce or fir. The problem with a living Christmas tree is that it hates to spend time indoors. The heat of your home will wake the tree from winter dormancy and then the confused tree will suffer from the cold when placed back outside. One solution is to enjoy a potted tree on a deck or patio that can be viewed from indoors. Decorate with popcorn and other edible treats for the birds. Norfolk Island Pine Tree – the houseplant Christmas tree A good alternative to a potted fir or spruce tree is a tropical evergreen that looks like a fir tree but is actually an indoor houseplant. This member of the Araucaria family is a native from an island off the coast of Australia and will thrive for years in a pot so it makes a nice year round houseplant once the holidays are over. The only problem with a healthy, happy Norfolk Island pine is the size. The compact potted tree you buy this year has ambitions to grow into an 80-foot timber tree. If you’ve got the space and a bright sun room or greenhouse you may enjoy decorating your indoor tree for many Christmas seasons in the future. Care of your cut tree To extend the life of your cut Christmas tree you need to keep the cut end in water. This means opt for a tree stand that holds a large amount of water – and checking daily to make sure that reservoir stays filled. If you don’t cut the tree yourself you will want to recut the stem with a saw once you get it home. A freshly cut tree will be able to absorb water more easily than one that has been cut weeks ago and is already starting to seal over. The test – how to tell if your cut tree is fresh: Some needle drop from a cut tree is acceptable but before you commit, stand up your chosen tree and bang the cut end onto the ground. If more than a handful of needles fall from the branches the tree has dried out. Move on. Another test is to bend back a needle on the tree. A freshly cut tree will have pliable needles that bend. A dry tree has needles that break in half when bent. One more thing – check any cut tree for wild life before bringing it indoors. Wasp nests, spiders, tiny owls and frightened woodland gnomes have all been unexpected stowaways hiding on cut trees. Okay, not true about the gnomes – they prefer to be called Christmas elves this time of year.
move to the sidewalk. A short time later, he called 911, worried about some “drama.” This time he knelt on the street and put his hands to his side when the officer arrived. He was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and booked into the SCORE regional jail. The officer asked whether he was trying to get arrested because he had no place to stay overnight in the freezing weather. He didn’t respond.

“I want to know what it’s going to cost me and my neighbors.“Renton City Council member Don Persson on a proposal to form a Renton Fire Authority with its own taxing authority
Inslee turning to regulatory rules to curb emissions Nothing like a few days away from the office to get one’s spirit rejuvenated and energy recharged. For Gov. Jay Inslee, it came in a trip to Paris, where he attended the international confab on climate change. He hung out with folks who share his view that climate change poses the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity on this planet, folks obsessed with slowing the damage through every political and regulatory means possible. The experience refueled Inslee’s confidence that reducing emissions of pollutioncausing carbon and other greenhouse gases is a concern among leaders of cities, states, provinces and nations worldwide. “I don’t want to be too carried away by this moment,” he told reporters on a conference call Tuesday. “This has been an inspirational group that I’ve been talking to the last few days in Paris. I’m glad I’m here.” Inslee returned to Olympia Wednesday, a place where he’s thus far failed to move any significant carbon emission reduction legislation due to opposition from Republicans and reluctance of his fellow Democrats. Now he’s trying to do so by rewriting the state’s clean air rules, a strategy which isn’t subject to legislative approval. But this effort may wind up helping clean the air above Quebec City or Los Angeles before it does Everett or Seattle. At Inslee’s direction, the Department of Ecology is crafting the rule to establish limits on the amount of carbon pollution emissions for 31 companies and investorowned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants. Over time, the cap for each emitter will be slowly reduced. Companies will be required to meet their first emission reduction deadline in 2020. At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state. Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing carbon pollution credits in cap-and-trade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec. In other words, a company could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in the world. “We have made no final decisions,” Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for Washington businesses doing their best to meet the standards, he said. “Our air becomes cleaner any time we reduce air pollution anywhere in the world,” Jerry Cornfield

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I am fighting for what women deserve
Betty Joss’s fruitcake is one for the ages
The role of women today is so much different, so much more than ever before. We are athletes, we are world leaders, we are leading in the household, leading in the workplace and in my case we are surviving in traditionally maledominated professions. When I chose to follow my interest in cars, my dad warned me it wouldn’t be easy. I took a high school course and then signed up for college courses in Advance Automotive Technology. One of the instructors tried to force another to cancel my registration because I would be an “unfair distraction” to the boys in the class. I completed the course anyway. After graduating I got a job at Sears in the automotive department where I was chosen to perform every dirty, backbreaking job that came up. Then one day, a peep hole appeared in the women’s dressing room wall. No investigation was initiated; instead the lockers were simply moved to cover the hole. Throughout my career I have endured other incidents and have, in general, not been taken seriously when it comes to cars. I have missed promotions and received lower wages than my male counterparts for decades. I pushed through these challenges because I love what I do. But the system has been rigged against women far too long. It’s time we take action and fight for fair treatment of women in all aspects of society. I have joined a movement to Stand With Women. It’s about fighting for what women deserve: freedom, fairness and opportunity. It’s something I encourage every resident including elected officials in Renton to consider. I stand with women. Laura Waite, Jay’s Professional Automotive, Renton
The City of Renton has an unknown gem residing here who is an American Master of Fruitcake Baking. My wife has the pleasure to work with a Korean War veteran whose kind wife annually gives us an outstanding fruitcake. Mind you, this is no ordinary fruitcake of the much-maligned, fruitcake-joke genre; no, this is worldclass fare that should be heralded as a treasure, adding to the achievements of Renton’s talented residents. First a little background: I know of which I speak, having been raised a Southerner, where pecans are grown and common in quality baked goods. Both pecan pie and fruitcake are Southern American specialties. So many fruitcake jokes have arisen from the dearth of low-quality cheaply-made, raisin heavy, sloppy fruitcakes that many unfortunate Americans simply have never eaten a good one. That’s too bad, as great American traditions should be preserved and passed on. Enter Mrs. Betty Joss of Renton. Her fruitcake actually surpasses the world-famous Corsicana Texas variety, and that is saying a lot. Why? It’s simply better. Though they are hard to tell apart if blindfolded, there is no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) in it - among other things - and only natural sugar. The Joss fruitcake still has the plethora of pecans, candied fruit and the perfect balance of ingredients. But it is all natural and so good in fact that I no longer order Texas fruitcake since her creation is better, in fact, it’s a masterpiece. Her offering could become a commercial success if correctly marketed, and it should be. Thank you, Betty and Don. K. & C. Rossman, Newcastle

A Century of Partnership Boeing supporting 14,000 technical scholarships for Washington state students
B
oeing’s investment of $25 million – combined with an equal amount contributed by Microsoft and matched by the state of Washington – is enabling nearly 14,000 students to earn technology degrees within the decade. So far, scholarships have been awarded to 5,500 low- and middle-income students in Washington state, with nearly 60 percent being the first members of their families to attend college, according to Stan Deal, Boeing senior vice president - Commercial Aviation Services and a member of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship board of directors speaking at an event to raise funds for additional scholarships. Addressing more than 300 community and political leaders in Seattle, Deal noted Boeing has “a vision of a future in which all students have access to educational opportunities so they can develop their skills, pursue their dreams and build a better world. “We are investing billions of dollars to design and produce the next generation of airplanes right here in Washington,” Deal added. “Through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, we are also investing in the next generation of employees in our community so that they can learn the skills they need to capture opportunities that Boeing and other leading companies
$25 million investment helps provide science, technology, engineering and math scholarships are creating.” Established five years ago, the scholarship provides financial assistance, creates research opportunities and matches recipients with mentors in business and technology. That includes Boeing Engineering leaders who mentor the students pursuing both undergraduate and advance degrees through the Opportunity Scholarship program. The public-private scholarship “ensures that our kids, who grew up here, have the opportunity to get a
high-tech degree,” said former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, adding that the program will enable the state’s leading companies to remain “among the best in the world.” Mahdi Ramadan, who is using his scholarship to research applying computer technology to assist individuals with neurological disorders, told the crowd, “My dreams are scary big, but so are the dreams of thousands of individuals like me.” Ramadan recounted how his family immigrated to the United States, when he was 11 years old, after being evacuated by U.S. Marines on a humanitarian mission during civil strife in Lebanon. The scholarship gives individuals “an opportunity to follow their dreams despite the financial limitations of their families,” the University of Washington student said. Microsoft president Brad Smith noted Washington currently has more than 20,000 unfilled jobs in science, technology, engineering and health care. “This program is all about empowering the next generation so they can achieve more,” Smith said. By training the next generation of researchers, engineers and technical employees, the scholarship also “solves problems for all of our companies and for the economy as a whole.”

Increasing Deliveries
When did Boeing hire its first engineer? In 1916, Wong Tsu was hired as Boeing’s first aeronautical engineer. He helped design Boeing’s first Model C production seaplane.
What was Boeing’s first jetliner? The 707, first known as the Dash 80, was Boeing’s first jetliner and profoundly altered the future of passenger air travel even though Time magazine called it the “gamble in the sky.”
Have Boeing planes always been used for Air Force One? In 1962, two 707-320B jets were adapted for use by President John F. Kennedy, earning designation Air Force One” when the president is on board. Since then, Boeing 7-7 series airplanes have continued to be the official aircraft of the U.S. president.
Did Boeing have influence with NASA’s Project Apollo’s nine manned and unmanned expeditions? Virtually all of Project Apollo’s spacecraft and launch vehicles— including the Saturn V rocket, Apollo command and service modules, and Lunar Roving Vehicle—were designed, developed and built by Boeing.
Why is the 777 significant in Boeing’s 7-7 series airplanes? The 777 was the first commercial jet to be 100 percent digitally designed. When complete, the new 777x series will be the world’s largest and mostefficient, twin-engine jet.
Is the Dreamlifter the largest airplane in the world? No.
The largest airplane in the world is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya. However, the Dreamlifter’s 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.
The new Seattle Delivery Center opens its doors to help with increasing deliveries of 737s
K
ing County executive Dow Constantine and Seattle mayor Ed Murray joined Boeing leaders and aviation students to snip the ribbon at the grand opening of the new and significantly larger Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field.
The delivery center’s newest addition is partially due to the increasing volume of 737s being built, delivered and yet to be delivered. Over the next decade Boeing will be delivering an average of two airplanes every weekday, month-after-
month, for the foreseeable future. “This facility is a sign of our continued commitment to the community and the Puget Sound region,” said Pat Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs.
Boeing teams with Northwest Harvest to nourish children over holiday break No child should go hungry, especially during the holidays. This is why more than 30 Boeing volunteers formed an efficient assembly line, packing nearly 1,000 backpacks full of food for low-income children to bring home to help feed their families over the holidays. Northwest Harvest fills this gap in services for low-income students who rely on school and summer meal programs and often have a tough time during these longer school breaks.

To help make their journeys easier, the USO Northwest recently opened a new welcome center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that was made possible in part by a $335,000 grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound. In special recognition of this and past efforts, the USO Northwest recently honored Boeing and its employees with its Order of Distinguished Service at its annual Gala and Auction in Seattle.

ECF grants enable agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and create new programs that directly help their clients and strengthen their communities. USO Northwest serves more than 500,000 active-duty military members and their families annually throughout Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

Giving Back... Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. ECF grants enable local Health & Human Service agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and build new construction that directly benefit thousands of people in need. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community nonprofits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients:
$40,000 delivers new transit van SEATTLE — Immanuel Community Services (ICS), located in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood was granted $40,000 for a new 2014 Ford Transit van for food collection and to transport clients. The agency, an independent offspring of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provides assistance to the homeless, the needy and those with drug addictions.
The new 44,000-square-foot facility will preserve care for the 7,000 patients currently provided at Neighborcare Health’s Greenwood Medical Clinic and Public Health’s North Public Health Center, and will double access to provide a health care home for at least 14,000 patients.
$259,100 grant for new Meridian Center for Health
SEATTLE — Neighborcare Health was granted $259,100 toward the purchase of dental chairs and furnishings for its low-income dental clinic located at the new Meridian Center for Health in north Seattle. Neighborcare Health is Seattle’s largest provider of community-based primary medical and dental care, serving 52,000 individuals through 26 medical, dental and school-based clinics.
$25,000 grant allows for needed renovations
$32,000 for ARC KING COUNTY — A $32,000 grant was awarded to ARC of King County for two 2012 Honda Civics to support the 50+ clients in its Supported Living Program. These two additional vehicles, — one focused for needs in the Eastside and the other for South King County — will solve scheduling problems for clients and open up opportunities for timely and safe transportation. Since 1936, the ARC of King County has provided services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
WHITE CENTER — Westside Baby, located in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, was funded $25,000 for renovations to its bathrooms and staircase to meet ADA codes and make the distribution center more accessible to clients and volunteers. More than 120 local social service agencies, including shelters and food banks, rely upon Westside Baby to provide critical necessities for low-income families. In 2014, they distributed more than 1 million free diapers along with 826 car seats, 267 cribs and clothing for infants and children up to size 12.
$40,000 grant for campus improvements REDMOND — Together Center was granted $40,000 for exterior renovations and paint for four buildings at its direct service campus located in Redmond. More than 37,000 residents and their families use the services at the campus each year. Twenty independent health and human service agencies offer medical and dental care, overnight shelter for youth, low-income housing and homelessness assistance, mental health counseling, therapeutic programs for disabilities, child care support and much more.

Boeing plant completes final assembly of first 737 MAX 8 ‘Spirit of Renton’ rolled out right on schedule BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Thousands of Boeing employees in Renton Tuesday marked another milestone in the evolution of the 737 – the completion of final assembly of the first 737 MAX 8, named the Spirit of Renton. The 737 MAX 8 rolled into the paint hangar on Nov. 30, the exact date in the development schedule defined four years ago, and emerged with a special teal version of the Boeing livery.
Next, the Spirit of Renton, written in script under the cockpit window, will continue to undergo pre-flight preparation in the Renton plant, before heading over to Clayton Scott Field at the airport to continue flight-readiness testing, according to a Boeing news release. The airplane is on track for its first flight in early 2016. The launch customer is Southwest Airlines The 737 MAX family has nearly 3,000 orders from 60 customers worldwide, according to Boeing. “Today marks another in a long series of milestones that our team has achieved on time, per plan, together,” said Keith Leverkuhn, vice president and general

County Council passes 12-week parental-leave pilot program BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Starting next year, King County employees who welcome a new child will have 12 weeks of paid leave to stay home with their families. The Metropolitan King County Council on Monday gave its unanimous approval to legislation that will create a program providing certain County employees with paid parental leave to run concurrently with unpaid federal and state family and medical leave. “It is past time that the United States join the ranks of every single other developed nation in the world, and ensure that new moms and dads have an opportunity to bond with their child without sacrificing the very wages needed to support a family,” Councilmember Rod Dembowski, sponsor of the legislation, said in a press release. “Paid parental leave is not only the right thing to do for parents and kids, but as the private sector has demonstrated, it’s also fiscally responsible as it aids in recruitment and retention of valuable employees. As one of the top ten employers in the State of Washington, King County has an obligation to lead and be a model employer.” The legislation directs the creation of a one-year pilot project providing paid parental leave for certain county employees. Those who can participate include both employees who are not represented by unions and represented employees whose unions have agreed to the terms of the program. To be eligible for the program, one of the following must occur in 2016: • The birth of a child; • The adoption of a child; or, • The foster-to-adopt placement of a child. The employee will receive their regular pay for the length of the leave. The duration of the leave will be 12 weeks when combined with all but one week of the vacation that the employee has accrued and all but one week of the sick leave that the employee has accrued. “This is a landmark action for King County,” said Council Vice Chair Jane Hague, a co-sponsor of the ordinance. “Parents should not have to choose be-
tween family and work.” “We owe it to our employees to provide the best benefits we can offer including the ability to care for their newly born and adopted children,” said Councilmember Larry Gossett. The adopted legislation grew out of a motion adopted by the Council this past spring, co-sponsored by Councilmembers Dembowski, Gossett and Hague, declaring that it is county policy to establish a paid family leave program for King County employees. The motion also requested the Executive develop a work plan and recommendations for implementing a paid parental leave program along with a cost analysis of the potential financial impact of the program. The Executive sent a cost-benefit analysis and a recommendation to the Council in September and followed up with a work plan and proposed legislation in November. “I’m proud that King County is among the leading employers in the nation to offer a program that has a positive, lifelong impact on a child’s development,” Constantine said in a press release. “It also demonstrates our commitment to recruiting and retaining the talented workforce we need to deliver the best outcomes for our community.” King County joins a few other major employers in the region – including Microsoft, Amazon, the Gates Foundation and the City of Seattle – to begin offering paid-parental leave as a way to attract high-caliber talent. According to a press release, King County and Seattle are the only public employers in the state to offer this type of program. Slightly more than a dozen governments — mostly cities — offer paid parental leave, though most do not offer as much as King County. “We know that babies thrive best when their parents can spend those first weeks of life with them, with lasting benefits for their health and development,” Dr. Marilyn P. Watkins, Policy Director of the Economic Opportunity Institute, said in a release. “We also know that moms who have ample paid maternity leave are healthier, more likely to be employed a year later, and earn more than mothers without. So providing paid parental

leave for all County employees will help families and our economy prosper.

It also makes good business sense; access to paid leave allows women to continue in their
jobs and on the path to future leadership and career growth.” “All parents deserve the opportunity to bond with new children in their home,” said Janis Avery, Treehouse CEO. “For foster parents, that connection is key to helping children in their home acclimate and thrive in their new environment, as well as experience a real childhood.” Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-2553484, ext. 5050.

pression methods. “The bigger the structure, the more hazard the structure presents, then the fire benefit charge is assessed accordingly,” Peterson told the council. “The greater the risk, the more you have to put toward (firefighting).” According to city finance director Iwen Wang, the city will reduce its property tax by the amount they anticipate to save after the first year (about $0.41 per $1,000 assessed value). Wang said the reason for the delay in reducing the tax would be to fund construction of the construction and equipment for the proposed Kennydale station. There is also the additional staff and a small increase in fire prevention staff that was cut during the recession. But Wang admits the RRFA “will cost more.” “Most of the businesses , as well as most residents, will pay more,” she told the council. No exact amounts were available, which Councilman Don Persson said would be needed by the public to make a decision, especially since he said he has heard concerns from businesses in Kent that their business taxes “quadrupled” after the city adopted an RFA. “I want to know what it’s going to cost me and my neighbors,” he said, though he said he recognizes the “tremendous need” for something like this. Councilman Randy Corman also said he understands the need for a new funding stream in the face of Tim Eyman’s 1 percent initiative, which limits a city revenue increase no matter what the increase in expenditures and has decimated the budgets of cities all over the state. However, he said he was concerned about sending it to voters after a Real Estate for Sale Chelan County

Firefighters work to extricate a victim during a recent training exercise at the Renton Fire Department’s headquarters station this year. If approved by voters, a Regional Fire Authority could give the fire department control over its revenue stream. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter similar decision on the library led to misunderstandings and protracted fight in the city. “After the experience with KCLS, it’s going to be really important to me we have excellent data,” he said. Council President Ed Prince echoed Corman’s views on funding for the fire department and said he is worried about a degradation in response time without additional funding in the future, though he felt voters should have the say on this matter and urged them to look at all of the options before makReal Estate for Sale WA Misc.

ing a decision. “This is not an additional tax for the sake of an additional tax,” he said. “My biggest concern is being able to continue to fund fire service.” The City Council is expected to vote on Monday to place the Regional Fire Authority on the ballot in April.
Due to the seasonally inclement weather from approximately November – February/March, and the continual flooding of the lower walk along the Cedar River Trail, the City of Renton has closed the lower walk. It will remain closed during the winter months.
