Summary and background of the Legislation. This ordinance approves a fifteen-year franchise from the City of Lake Forest Park to construct, operate, maintain, replace and repair an electrical light and power system in, across, over, along, under, through and below certain designated public rights-of-way. The current Franchise Agreement expired on April 30, 2015. Seattle City Light and the City of Lake Forest Park have been engaged in negotiations to renegotiate the current franchise and have successfully reached agreement on a new Franchise Agreement, which provides terms and conditions for Seattle City Light to operate within Lake Forest Park’s right-of-way. Seattle City Light (“SCL”) provides electric service to the residents and businesses in the cities of Shoreline, Burien, Lake Forest Park, SeaTac and Tukwila (the “Franchise Cities”), under individual Franchise Agreements with each of these cities. The current 15 year Agreements have been in effect starting in 1999. They grant Seattle City Light a non-exclusive franchise to operate within the Franchise Cities’ right-of-way, and establish terms and conditions under which Seattle City Light and the Franchise Cities work together on a variety of related issues, including rates as established by Seattle City Council, fees, and operational requirements. In late 2012, Seattle City Light engaged the Franchise Cities in discussions to renegotiate the Agreements. Meetings were held with the Cities to understand what is working well with the current Agreements, as well as areas for improvement. Following these initial meetings, City Light staff met individually with Lake Forest Park to negotiate an Agreement that maintained consistency with Seattle City Light’s Strategic Plan, and provides Lake Forest Park with the same level of outstanding service, reliability, environmental stewardship, and accountability as we provide for customers within the Seattle city limits.

Summary and background of the Legislation. The legislation makes the following changes to the current law: The City’s Rental Agreement Regulation Ordinance is modified to:  Require inclusion of a provision in rental agreements mandating that a landlord provide written notice to a tenant, between 60 and 120 days before the end of the lease term, informing the tenant whether the landlord is planning to offer the tenant a new tenancy.  Make failure to provide this notice a defense to any action to evict the tenant for holding over or continuing in possession after the expiration of the term, for unlawful detainer, or to enforce a rental agreement. The City’s Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO) is modified to:  Define the term rent, which means “the basic charge for a tenant’s use of the dwelling unit and any periodic or monthly fees for other services paid to a landlord by a tenant, but do not include utility charges that are based on usage and that a tenant has agreed in the rental agreement to pay.”  Prohibit the increase of rent for the purpose of avoiding TRAO. o A tenant who has received a notice of rent increase and believes the purpose of the increase is to circumvent the TRAO requirements may file a complaint with DPD. o DPD investigates the complaint and decides if the rent increase was made to avoid TRAO. [For Ordinance 124882 / CB 118516] Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx LEG Rental Agreement Regulation and TRAO ORD V1  There is a rebuttable presumption that a rent increase of 20% or more, in conjunction with other criteria, constitutes a violation of TRAO. o If DPD finds the rental property owner has violated TRAO, penalties can be assessed. o The rental owner or tenant may appeal DPD’s decision to the Hearing Examiner within 10 days after receipt of the DPD Director’s decision. o DPD is prohibited from issuing a permit until the rental owner pays any penalties assessed as a result of a violation of TRAO.  Amend the definition of substantial rehabilitation to account for changes that do not require a permit but would still require displacement of a tenant and is valued at $6,000 or more. A rental property owner performing substantial rehabilitation that fits either definition would be required to comply with TRAO, including the payment of relocation assistance to eligible tenants.

Summary and background of the Legislation. This legislation authorizes the City Light Department (“City Light”) to execute an agreement with Bonneville Power Administration that will assist the parties in fulfilling their respective responsibilities with respect to NERC reliability standards compliance at Boundary Substation. By executing the Maintenance Obligations and Ownership Agreement for Boundary Substation, City Light will clarify its responsibilities with respect to Boundary substation equipment ownership and maintenance, which supports its mission to provide cost-effective and reliable power in an environmentally responsible and safe manner. This legislation enables the replacement of the original 1966 Boundary Operations and Maintenance Agreement, which lacks details now considered necessary in electric utility contracts to sufficiently describe the specific compliance requirements of the parties. The proposed new agreement will serve these purposes with no change in cost.

Summary and background of the Legislation. This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Administrative Services (FAS) to dispose of the property located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx (see Exhibit “A”), by means of a sale to Crescent Development (“Crescent”) or a subsidiary thereof. FAS received an unsolicited offer for the property in 2014, and since that time FAS and Crescent have been in negotiations over the deal terms of a sale. The property was acquired by the City in 1903; shortly thereafter a woodframe fire station was constructed on site. That building was demolished to make way for the present building in 1951. Seattle Fire Department operated Fire Station 15 at the site until 1971, at which time it decommissioned the fire station. The Comm Shop has operated out of the building since 1975. The purpose of the Communications Shop Program is to install, maintain and repair the dispatch radio infrastructure and mobile and portable radios for City departments and other regional agencies for common, cost-effective communications. The Comm Shop provides installation, maintenance and related services for wireless communications for city departments and other regional agencies. Radio network maintenance on the shared portions of the region-wide network is also conducted at the site. Due to the ongoing construction and increasing residential character of the South Lake Union and Xxxxx Triangle neighborhoods, it has become increasingly difficult and time-consuming for Comm Shop users (including fire, police and utilities) to navigate through various construction projects and increasing traffic congestion. Although the building has not gone through the City’s excess-property disposition process, FAS provided notification to the surrounding community, sending out 433 notices. FAS received six comments from the community, and none were in opposition of the sale. Due to this apparent low degree of community concern, consensus response and this one-time opportunity to sell the property to the adjoining landowner, FAS is satisfied with the amount of public involvement it has done to date.
