uring its last meeting of the year on Dec. 14, the Renton City Council bid farewell to two members who are retiring at the end of their current terms. Both Marcie Palmer and Greg Taylor opted not to run for reelection this summer, bringing an end to both of their legislative careers with the city, though both pledged to stay active, but in new roles. “I’m still going to be around!” joked Palmer. “You’re not going to get rid of me that easy!” In lieu of a committee of the whole meeting prior to the final meeting of the year, the council hosted a small reception for the outgoing members, which was attended by family, friends, city staff and current and former council members. Palmer and Taylor were also each presented with a small, glass token of appreciation for their time on the council. Palmer served three terms, Taylor served two. Outgoing Council President Ed Prince thanks each member for their service, saying the council always appreciated Palmer’s tendency to put resident needs at the fore of every move she mad eon the council and praised Taylor’s commitment to openness and transparency.

Newly elected hospital commissioner faces PDC probe Dr. Chris Monson pledged to not accept office, did not file paperwork, but won BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Dr. Chris Monson, who wrote a letter in June to the Public Disclosure Commission that he would not accept the office if elected, will be sworn in as a Public Hospital District No. 1 commissioner Jan. 4. “If elected, I will not accept the office,” he wrote in the June 23 letter. Monson, an eye surgeon, was on vacation last week and the Renton Reporter couldn’t reach him for comment on his intentions before its print deadline this week. But district commissioner Dr. Paul Joos, who is one of Monson’s partners in their medical practice, said in an interview last week that Monson will be sworn in on Jan. 4. [ more HOSPITAL page 3 ]

Voters to decide fate of fire department in April election Council approves Regional Fire Authority ballot measure that would change financing structure and control of fire services And now it will be up to the voters. The City Council on Dec. 14 unanimously passed an ordinance placing plans for the Regional Fire Authority on the April ballot, combining the Renton Fire Department and King County Fire District 25 into the Renton regional Fire Authority, complete with it its own ability to control its revenue stream and, perhaps more importantly, to
reduce response times across the system. “Ultimately, it’s about protecting people, their property and their lives,” Chief Mark Peterson said during a public hearing. “Without additional funding it’s going to impact the service delivery we’re providing today.” The measure requires a 60 percent approval total across both districts. The City and Council have been working on the plan for about two years. If approved, it will remove the fire department from the city’s control and budget and give

“We will need to manage that gap,” said Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang during a presentation that preceded the hearing. Wang and Peterson both highlighted the need for providing the fire department with its own revenue stream by talking about the cuts that have been made over the past several years as the city has dealt with a recession and the effects of Tim Eyman’s voter-approved initiative that capped revenue increases at 1 percent, no matter what happens on the expenditure side, where contractual obligations and inflation often rise at a faster rate. Peterson said the department has been [ more RRFA page 5 ]

the new authority the ability to go directly to voters for revenue. It will also create a new way of funding fire service in the area, changing from a purely assessed value model to one that includes a “fire benefit charge,” based on the size and nature of the structure on a property. The city and fire department also promise that if approved a new fire station in the Kennydale neighborhood would finally be built to help deal with the rising response times in that area. A Regional Fire Authority would also free up city revenues to be used for other needs as the city continues to look for ways to deal with a projected budget gap in 2017.

Police and Fire chaplain retires after 17 years of being on call for the worst BY BRIAN BECKLEY, bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
After 17 years of comforting those in difficult situations, as well as those who are paid to deal with those situation, Renton Police and Fire Chaplain Allan Folmar is calling it a career. Both Fire Cheif Mark Peterson and Police Chief Kevin Milosevich spoke Dec. 14 in honor of the out going chaplain, praising both his professionalism and his dedication. “He serves this community unselfishly,” Perterson said. Peterson said the chaplain can be called at all hours, often to deal with the worst situations on a short notice, be it a failed attempt at CPR or an accident or a bad trauma, Folmar was the one to talk to the families, offering comfort in what can be trying times. “He’s there when the need is really needed,” Peterson said. “We’ve asked him to give up his personal time,” added Milosevich about the strange hours and “highly-charged and emotional” events on which Folmar is often called, which can come at any time, day or night including weekends and holidays. Milosevich thanks Folmar in particular for his assistance in two situations, one nearly 10 years ago in which a police officer was shot and one in 2009 when a member of the department was a victim of domestic violence in Pierce County. Folmar thanks the chiefs and the city for their support and called his work “a blessing,” adding that he was called to this work by his “really big boss,” who will continue to guide

Monson beat three-term commissioner Carolyn Parnell in the November general election, 65 percent to 35 percent. Monson and commissioners have been notified of the Jan. 4 meeting; Sandra Sward, the commission’s assistant, said in an interview last week that she hadn’t heard from Monson whether he would or wouldn’t attend the meeting. Joos said Monson also will take care of PDC requirements for candidates. The PDC discovered last week after comparing the list of election victors from the Secretary of State’s Office against its list of candidates that Monson had never filed any initial paperwork or submitted any financial disclosure forms required of candidates, according to Lori Anderson, a PDC spokeswoman. This situation is rare, she said. The fact Monson didn’t register with the PDC has no bearing on the election results – the commission can’t void an election, she said, as the PDC process is separate from the election process. But the PDC wants to be notified if Monson is

Agreement on school funding awaits New Year Eight lawmakers entrusted with drafting a school funding plan in line with the tenets of the state Constitution and dictates of the Supreme Court won’t complete their task this year. The contingent of Democratic and Republican lawmakers met for a final time in 2015 on Monday, Dec. 14, adjourning without agreement on the contours or content of a proposal to put forth in the 2016 session. They plan to gather again Jan. 4 — one week before the session begins — with hope but uncertainty of reaching an accord. “We’re still negotiating. We’re taking our task very seriously,” said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, who is one of the lawmakers involved in the work group. “What we’re trying to do is craft something that can be well-received in the Legislature.” What this means is the Legislature will begin 2016 just as it did in 2015: in contempt of a Supreme Court order demanding a blueprint for amply funding public schools by the 2018 deadline set in the McCleary case. In addition, a $100,000-a-day fine levied by justices in August continues to pile up. Sanctions now amount to about $13 million. Any notion those sanctions will push lawmakers toward a more rapid conciliation hasn’t occurred as some lawmakers, including a couple members of the McCleary 8, think the Supreme Court exceeded its authority. There is resistance to any action perceived as placating justices. “Our focus has been on doing the right thing for the education system not on responding to the Supreme Court,” said Rep. Chad Magendanz, R-Issaquah. “The fines are not really a fine. No one will drop a bill to pay the fine.” Though the group is not “fixated on the fine issue, there are members, and I am one of them, that would like us to be out of contempt,” said Sen. Christine Rolfes, DBainbridge Island. To recap, the McCleary decision dealt with the entire tab for the basic education of a million students. Lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee figured out how to spend billions of additional dollars on things like supplies, all-day kindergarten, smaller class sizes and buses in the last two state budgets. But they are still wrestling with how to end the reliance on local property tax dollars to pay teachers, principals and staff. It will require a new method of compensating school employees with state funds. That will cost money and could see some residents paying new or higher taxes. The Democrat-controlled House and Republican-run Senate couldn’t find a solu[ more CORNFIELD page 5 ]
A Christmas guide for husbands: accept the fact you’re a rockhead By special Christmas spirit request from all the goddesses in the office and Ms. Vegan, I will give my last-minute advice on buying gifts for girlfriends, wives and all those who make life worth living. To the uninitiated (husbands in training) this may seem to be a simple, straightforward process – ha ha ho ho. Is that dumb or what? The All Knowing One has assisted me in my most sensitive approach to preserving some semblance of life after Christmas for the naive believer. Here are a few of the Christmas gift buying declaratory statements I will translate from the ancient language given only to the women. • “Don’t worry sweetheart, you don’t need to buy me anything.” Translation: “You are in a lot of trouble rockhead. Every year you buy me the wrong gift no matter how many hints I give you. I’ve given up – buy a very warm sleeping bag for yourself because you’re going to need it.” Let me provide the most graphic example of this Christmas morning scene. One of the most wonderful and perfectly matched couples I know are Becky and Ron. They were born to be married to each other and he is the yearly winner of the “goofball gift to my wife” award. Every year I try to find a goofball to beat Ron. Some are close but he is still the winner and champion. Ron’s finest year was when he left a shiny, brandspanking-new toilet under the Christmas tree for Becky. I admit I understand and secretly admire the Dennis Box

www.rentonreporter.com “pulling off a magic trick” to make it work in recent years, including cutting a deputy chief, two fire inspectors and outreach/preventive programs. In 2008, there were 164 members of the department. By 2010, that dropped to 152. Since 2011, the department has used federal SAFER grants (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) to keep the staff at 161 people, but Peterson told the council there was a “train wreck coming for us” as population and calls for service continue to increase. “Grants are not a sustainable funding mechanism,” he said. Peterson said calls for the fire department and emergency services are increasing at about 3 percent per year. For example, in 2010, the city logged about 13,000 calls for service. In 2015, that number will be more than 15,000. In addition, Peterson said two new senior housing facilities are opening this year, which will add to calls for service, as will three large, new hotels being built around the entrance to Gene Coulon Park. “Our ability to get out to these places is getting tougher and tougher and tougher,” he said. Wang also explained that tax revenues have not been keeping pace with requests for services in the city and things will only get difficult in the next few years as the city will loose annexation sales tax revenues soon for the Benson neighborhood that became part of Renton in 2008. Wang said the Fire Department presently accounts for 24 percent for the city’s general fund budget, second only to the police. The city has been clear that while the fire department would be coming off the city books, the new fire service would cost the average home or business owner a little
more overall in taxes than they are currently paying. The difference will be that a fire benefit charge is based on how many firefighters it would take to put out a structure fire. According to estimates from the city, an average Renton homeowner with a 2,180-square-foot house and a $291,000 assessed home value will pay approximately $10 more per month for fire and emergency services. In 2017, the average Renton homeowner would pay the City an additional $12 per month for the construction of the new station in the north end, but that amount would drop to a much lower rate - but not disappear fully - once the station is paid for. “It’s a huge change from what we’ve done in the past,” Peterson said, adding,

tion in this year’s record-setting 176 days of session. And their leaders don’t plan on finding one in 2016 — an election year session — either. Since September, the work group, with help from two of Inslee’s top aides, is deciding what information must be gathered next year so lawmakers are able to take some tough votes in 2017. They are not negotiating levy rates and salaries but a timeline for collecting data, explained House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, who is in the group. “If we could agree on a plan we could act early in session,” he predicted. “It shouldn’t be that hard.” But it has been so far.

stamp of approval of “The All Knowing One” to my right – is to reach down inside yourself, find that little corner of hope and optimism and give up. We lost a long time ago, back in the ancient time when God didn’t let us into that one classroom the girls were in. That’s where they were taught the secret dialect of always winning (I never get to know anything cool). The fortunate ones have a Becky. Trying to explain your reasoning to Becky is hopeless, because there really is none. We do what we’ve been doing since kindergarten – make things up to get out of trouble. And we all know, it never works and never has. Merry Christmas to all and happy New Year.
“We need a viable funding mechanism that will sustain us through good times and bad times.” The city has created a calculator so residents can see how much their rates would change if the RFA is approved. The calculator accesses 2016 assessed valuation data and provides estimated costs for any property in the city. It can be found on the FAQ page at Renton RFA.org, under a link at question No. 6. During the public hearing, four people spoke, all in favor of sending the RRFA to the voters. Charles Seil served on both the RFA citizens advisory committee and the mayor’s citizen budget committee and said because of the projected shortage and the need for additional stations, as well as growth within the city, that and RFA made the most sense. “I’m convinced an RFA is the answer,” he said. Kerry Abercrombie, who serves as the on the FD25 Board of Fire Commissioners said he came into the discussions with “lots of questions” about the process and what it would mean, but is now convinced it is the right thing to do because of the growing population and the increasing response times, According to him, even 30 seconds difference can mean the difference between life and death. “Thirty seconds doesn’t seem like a lot,” he said. “But 30 seconds your heart is not beating, 30 seconds your house is still on fire … is pretty serious.” Following the vote to place the issue in front of voters, Mayor Denis Law thanked the council and staff for their work on the project. “This is a very complicated process,” he said. “We need to have the discussion and allow the citizens to make this decision.” For more info, visit www.rentonrfa.org.

Vantage Point provides an affordable home to seniors BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
Kathleen Aerts’ story is the reason why Vantage Point exists as an affordable place for low-income senior citizens to live in Renton. She raised her two children, Julie and Jason, alone, working in support roles for law offices for more than four decades and then temporary jobs. There was no money left over to save for retirement. Today, she lives on $1,037 a month in Social Security benefits. But every time life seemed darkest, an “earthly angel” would come into their lives, she said. “When things have been really bad in our lives, there was always an earthly angel who appeared and did something amazing and wonderful. And that is how I feel about King County Housing Authority. I mean that with all my heart.” In early November, Aerts, 67, moved into a one-bedroom apartment at Vantage Point, a 77-unit complex operated by the housing authority behind the North Benson Shopping Center on 108th Avenue Southeast near the Fred Meyer store. The $18 million Vantage Point is now full, after about 18 months of construction. The housing authority and the community will celebrate its grand opening next spring. “There are truly no words in any
language to tell you how thankful and grateful I am. I can make it now,” she said. In 2009 she received her last paycheck and spent the next several years doing temporary jobs and occasionally contract legal work. “Try getting hired when you’re 63 or 64,” she said. Her rent of $850 a month was unaffordable, so her now daughterin-law Du Anne offered to rent her a room for $700 a month, which included everything but electricity. Still little money was left over for food once other bills were paid. Then her son Jason, who worked
in construction, learned about the Section 8 housing program while working at a job and he urged her to get on the list. “The light bulb came on. ‘Mom, you need help,’” her son told her. Her children had helped her pay for food, “but that made me feel terrible. You don’t want to be a burden to them.” She had never asked for a handout. “I’ve always worked hard and did the best I could for my kids,” she said. Then, on Oct. 2 the call came. A 540-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment was available at Vantage

Her rent is $260; she cooks her meals in a handy kitchen and has a big closet in her bedroom. “I am so thankful. I can buy food. I don’t need to bother anyone. I don’t have to ask, ‘Can I please borrow 20 bucks’,” she said. She’d like to save money for a small car and maybe even get a dog. Vantage Point helps the housing authority reach its long-term goal of expanding high-quality housing that’s affordable for low-income seniors 55 and older and younger individuals with disabilities who meet income qualifications, according to Rhonda Rosenberg, a housing authority spokeswoman “There is a growing crisis in affordable housing for seniors,” she said. “It is especially difficult for people living on low, fixed incomes to be able to afford housing in our region.” By 2025, one in four King County residents will be 65 years or older and 54,000 of these seniors will be living in poverty, she said, many with list more than a Social Security payment to live on, she said.

Marianne Binetti’s annual Christmas poem
THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
Marianne Binetti
’was the week before Christmas, and all through the yard, not a gift was given, not even a card. The tools were all hung, in the carport with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would repair, the shovel with blade all rusty and cracked, the pitchfork still shiny, but handle it lacked. When out on my lawn, (it’s brown and abused) I could see poor old Santa, looking confused. No list had been left for Santa to see, no gardening gifts were under the tree. But wait there’s still time, it’s not Christmas yet, and gardening gifts are the quickest to get. You can forget the silk tie, the fluffy new sweater, give something to make the garden grow better. If she wants a gift shiny, then don’t be a fool, it’s not a dumb diamond, but a sparkling new tool.

An arsonist briefly caught fire when he or she torched a portable toilet Nov. 29 at the Lindbergh High School football field. A passerby reported the fire at about 6:20 p.m., who saw someone running into the woods. A camera system showed two individuals, maybe a boy and a girl, both with hoodies up, and one in shorts and the other in jeans. They opened the door to the portable toilet and started the fire, at which point one of them caught on fire briefly. The portable toilet burned to the ground. Police planned to check with the emergency room at Valley Medical Center for any burn victims.

If fragrance is listed you can forget French perfume, it’s a pile of manure that’ll make gardeners swoon. Give night crawlers, not nightgowns, the type of hose that gives water. (Anything for the kitchen is not worth the bother.) Give a great gift that digs in the dirt, it’s better than any designerbrand shirt. Now look quick at Santa, this guy’s not so dumb, Under his glove, he hides a green thumb. His knees are so dirty, his back how it aches, his boots stomp on slugs, (he gives them no breaks). Santa only works winter, you can surely see why, The rest of the year it’s a gardening high. Elves plant in the spring, pull weeds merrily all summer, in fall they all harvest, but winter’s a bummer And so Christmas gives Santa a part-time employment, ‘Till spring when the blooms are his real life enjoyment. So ask the big guy for garden gifts this year, Seeds, plants and tools, Santa holds them all dear. You see malls may be crowded, vendors hawking their ware, but visit a nursery, stress-free shopping is there. Now Santa’s flown off, to the nursery he goes, and his voice fills the night with loud Hoe! Hoe! Hoes! Merry Christmas from Marianne Binetti.

LET’S PLAY! Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots. He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging. This friendly guy would love to meet you! 206-409-2985
