Renton man charged with murder of his girlfriend By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The wooden jet wall, or blast fence, which has protected pedestrians and vehicles on Airport Way from the jet wash of 737s taking off, will be replaced with a new modern structure made of metal that through artistry will evoke the long aerospace history of Renton. Brian beckley, Renton Reporter
Airport to get new blast fence By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
It’s the end of the road for the iconic red and white checkered jet wall at the south end of the Renton Municipal Airport, as plans are moving forward to replace the aging structure with a new one. According to Deputy Public Works Director Doug Jacobson, the present wooden structure is beginning to rot and a more modern structure needs to be built. “The existing blast fence is made of wood, it’s in excess of 50 years old and is losing it’s structural integrity,” he said.
Bids go out this month and beginning in mid-May the current wall will come down in favor of a newer metal version, like the one that runs along the southern side of North Sixth Street. The new wall will be longer east-to-west than the current structure, but will be twothirds the height. According to Jacobson, the current wall was built to protect cars from the jet wash of a Boeing 727, which included an engine higher up on the tail. “Now, the 737 engine is slung low below the wings,” he said. The reduced height will also make it easier for smaller planes to land.
But with the new construction will come a new look at the airport and the familiar pattern of red and white squares is on its way out. Instead, the city has commissioned artist Ben Jepson, who designed the statue that sits at the airport’s entrance, to create a new piece for the part of the wall facing Airport Way. “We tried to get some continuity for that,” said Airport Capital Projects Coordinator Ben Dahle. The new wall will feature metal panels [ more blast page 10 ]
A 20-year-old Renton man told detectives his alternate personality, “Frost,” is responsible for the death of his girlfriend Saturday, April 12, according to court documents. Gabriel Galan Navarro of Renton was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder. He’s being held in the King County Jail. His arraignment is 9 a.m. May 1 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office was still trying to confirm the victim’s identification of late Wednesday afternoon. However, on Wednesday the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office identified her as Allison Leedy. The documents, the Renton Police Department’s certification of probable cause, offer details of the homicide at the apartment they shared in the 1300 block of South Eagle Ridge Drive. Prosecutors write that their three[ more murder page 8 ]
Independent review finds library costs ‘reasonable’ An independent review has determined that the costs for the two new libraries in Renton are reasonable. Based on the explanations provided by the architecture and engineering teams and special situations surrounding each library
project, the city feels comfortable that these costs are within reasonable range, said Iwen Wang, city finance and information technology administrator. There are concerns about having enough money in the city’s budget to cover the cost of building the redesigned Highlands Library, but officials say the preliminary
Your Residential Specialists
budget for the downtown Renton library is in “good shape.” The city addressed concerns community members raised last April about the appropriateness of architecture and engineering costs for the library projects. At the time, the citizens requested an independent review of costs and the city selected The
Robinson Co. as the third-party reviewer. Wang explained The Robinson Co.’s findings at Monday night’s Renton City Council Committee of the Whole meeting. The total budget for the downtown library is $10.4 million. Project architect [ more library page 10 ]

City plans actions on slide areas By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A number of Renton hillsides and slopes will hopefully get more careful and frequent inspection, after the landslide that swept through Oso in Snohomish County and because of a recent assessment of the potential hazard they pose in Renton. The assessment calls for a number of actions private property owners and the city can do to protect citizens. Gregg Zimmerman, the city’s public works administrator, led a “windshield tour” of the city’s areas to watch. The Renton City Council heard Zimmerman’s update on unsafe slopes and hillsides at its meeting Monday. “I think the city and property owners have the responsibility to investigate situations where there are potential landslide hazards, particularly when such slides would pose a risk to safety and property,” said Zimmerman in an email. He went through a list of at least 10 spots in Renton that need monitoring or upkeep. Some of the targeted areas include 1700 Lake Washington Blvd. N.; Renton Hill above Narco, a former industrial site at the bottom of Renton Hill; Hardie Avenue, near Fred Meyer; Rainier Avenue, next to the airport; along Maple Valley Highway, and Maplewood Glen. These areas were included because there are potential landslide hazards, including steep slopes and places where there is a history of landslides, said Zimmerman. He used nearness of businesses and residences to assess the risk. “While it is not always possible to eliminate risk, the city and property
The hillside on the northeast side of the Maple Valley Highway from the Renton Community Center to the Riverview Park is known as an historic location for slides in four areas. City of Renton owners can and should take prudent steps to assess and then reduce the risk of landslides,” Zimmerman said in his presentation. He said in an e-mail that the city intends to perform a geotechnical evaluation of the embankment along the Maple Valley Highway “to determine level of risk and potential remedial measures to further stabilize this slope.” He pointed out that residential developments were built on top of the hill, there has actually been an improvement – less frequent and less severe slides, he said. “This is because the storm water runoff is now collected in a closedpipe system and is not allowed to
percolate through the hillside,” he said. City Council member Greg Taylor asked Monday night whose responsibility is it to get any geotechnical evaluations done – the city’s or the property owners. Mayor Denis Law said it was up to the property owners to be responsible for their slopes or hillsides, if they’re on private land. “We don’t want to have to take other actions and we’ll have to see what that might be,” Law said. “But we would hope that property owners are responsible and at least go that far.” Zimmerman outlined a number of needs for these areas of Renton.
His summary action plan includes writing property owners, completing periodic inspections, conducting geotechnical studies to determine if remedial action is needed and adding structures to strengthen the slope. When council member Don Persson asked if the city had the legal right to go onto someone’s property and mitigate the situation, Law said it was debatable, but he didn’t want to go into all the possibilities now. Law said that “with the our untrained eyes, we’re concerned now, but not really sure what the next step would be,” in terms of geotechnical evaluations.

A 28-year-old Seattle man led Renton Police officers on a 7-mile chase through downtown Renton and into Seattle on April 4 before he was finally apprehended by K9 officer Boss. The chase lasted 8 minutes and 3 seconds, beginning on Talbot Road South near South Seventh Street and ending in south Seattle. The pursuit of the stolen white Chevrolet Blazer started at about 4 p.m. on April 4 in the 700 block of Talbot Road South in south downtown Renton. The pursuit continued through downtown on South Fourth Street in a residential neighborhood with several police units in pursuit. Traffic was light and there were no pedestrians. The Blazer worked its way to northbound Logan Avenue, past the transit center at a speed of about 40 mph. The vehicle made it to northbound Rainier Avenue, accelerating to about 85 mph. The chase was now in unincorporated King County, headed to Seattle. The Blazer returned to Rainier Av-

enue; the driver never intentionally drove at other vehicles. Officers attempted a special tactic to immobilize the Blazer The driver eventually lost control of the Blazer near South Garden Street in Seattle, striking a tree. The driver fled but was chased down by Boss, a Renton K9 officer, at Othello and Rainier Avenue. Cocaine was found in the Blazer. The driver told officers he had purchased the Blazer for $100 from a “dude” who told him it was stolen. The driver was arrested for investigation of possessing a stolen vehicle, eluding police and for violating drug statutes. He was booked into the King County Jail. A Renton woman with him was treated for a head injury. She wasn’t detained and didn’t want to go to a hospital.
Who’s in there? For about 25 minutes, an employee of a restaurant on 108th Avenue Southeast tried to get a customer to come out of the men’s restroom. The sign on the door showed it was occupied and the only way to lock the door was from the inside. It was getting close to 2 a.m., closing time, on April 4. An officer knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. The officer concluded he would have to force his way in. But the employee needed to get permission from a manager, who said OK. Additional officers stood by.
For several minutes, an officer kicked the door repeatedly, tried to pry it open with a crowbar and smashed it with a sledge hammer. Finally, they got in and did an extensive search of the ceiling and restaurant. No one had been in the restroom. Or maybe he escaped through the ceiling.
Brass fixtures taken Someone stole brass covers from lights at Gene Coulon Park and four brass memorial plaques earlier this month. However, city employees found the stolen goods, the brass covers near Kidd Valley and the four plaques in the north end of the park, next to the vehicle turnaround. A city maintenance supervisor surmises the thieves discovered the covers and plaques weren’t made of expensive copper, so they were tossed aside. Or maybe it was simple malice.
Mower stolen The theft of lawn mowers continues – one time, on April 3, an electric lawn mower and its charger. The theft occurred in the 10800 block of Southeast 192nd Street. A neighbor watched as two men carried the lawn mower from the backyard and place it in the back of a minivan. One man drove off in he minivan; the other one ran after it. There’s been a rash of thefts of lawn mowers, some associated with a green Kia and two brothers, who are persons of interest.

Inslee to honor Renton volunteer Renton volunteer Dave McCammon is one of a select number of volunteers from across the state being recognized by Gov. Jay Inslee and Serve Washington, formerly the Washington Commission for National and Community Services (WCNCS) for his outstanding contributions as a volunteer. McCammon is being recognized for his leadership in the Renton Emergency Communication Service (RECS) where he serves as Logistics Section Chief. The mission of RECS is to provide amateur radio and other communications support to the City of Renton when normal communication methods are disrupted. McCammon’s work includes the maintenance of
all amateur radio equipment in nine locations as well as a mobile emergency communications vehicle. He takes on leadership roles in many community events such as Renton River Days. Since joining RECS, McCammon has come up with innovative solutions to increase efficiency and to engage other members of the group and community, according to a city press release. In addition to Dave’s work with RECS, he is an active volunteer with Renton’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. “The city is fortunate to have a volunteer like Dave,” says Deborah Needham, Emergency Management director. “The work he does is often behind the scenes,
but is so important to RECS and to the City of Renton.” The award will be presented at the 2014 Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards Ceremony in Olympia on April 21. The Seattle Mariners and Serve Washington will also recognize the volunteers at their Salute to Volunteers

Guest commentary
Prop 1’s passage critical to how we get around Ask yourself, when was the last time you boarded Metro as your transportation choice? It seems a growing number of us are. More Americans used public transit in 2013 than in any year since 1956, the National Public Transportation Association reported in March, with Metro ridership up 3 percent. Do you have an ORCA card? More and more of us do, and use it frequently. How many times this week have you observed a person with compromised physical abilities waiting for public transportation and have some level of concern/pity and think, “What if it was, and when will it be me?” Have you found yourself grumbling about traffic on your morning or afternoon commute, that pothole you just hit, or the deteriorating road conditions that are appearing throughout King County? Regardless of your responses to the questions just posed, and the number of “yeses,” you should know about Proposition No. 1, which is on the ballot registered voters have received for the April 22 special election. King County Metro is facing a $75 million budget shortfall. Without additional revenue, Metro will have to reduce service by up to 17 percent, which will undoubtedly hit hard in South King County. Addressing this crisis, King County created the Transportation Benefit District (KCTBD) in February. This separate government entity with countywide transportation taxing authority sent Proposition 1 to the voters to maintain current service levels for Metro, as well as implement street improvements for cities and unincorporated King County. The KCTBD was created because the state Legislature did not pass a statewide comprehensive transportation package during the two most recent sessions, 2013 and 2014, and three special sessions in 2013 alone. The creation of the KCTBD was an option available to King County to raise funds for roads, transit and other transportation improvements within its jurisdiction by voter decision. It was adopted on a 9-0 vote of the King County Council, a necessary and reluctantly taken unanimous vote. Proposition 1, if passed by voters, would increase King County’s sales tax by 0.1 percent, establish a new $60 vehicle fee, and provide for a $1.25 fare rate for low-income King County residents (think that physically compromised individual you saw today). Both new revenue sources would be applied exclusively for transportation maintaining Metro service levels and funding transportation improvements in cities and unincorporated King County. The funds would be divided on a 60-40 split, with 60 percent going to the district to maintain Metro’s service levels, and 40 percent going to the 39 cities and unincorporated King County to fund road improvements.

Letter to the editor There are health dangers from overhead power lines The editorial in the April 11 Renton Reporter about overhead power lines by Brian Beckley (Editor’s Note: Here’s the Line in the sand: City needs power) could hardly have been more biased or irresponsible. One may wonder what the real motives behind this editorial were. Serious illnesses that can result from exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from overhead power lines were not mentioned and are obviously of no concern. Interference with implanted pacemakers and defibrillators is apparently a non-issue. Poor air quality in the form of charged particles at power lines is of no interest. Breathing in such particles has been linked to an increase in free radicals which in turn has been linked to many adverse health effects including cancer. If the particles themselves are hazardous pollutants from engine exhaust, smoke or industry then the risk is potentially greater. It is foolish to stick the head in the sand when there is plenty of evidence about the harmful effects of EMF. It reminds of people who denied that smoking can cause cancer while the controversy went on for decades. If EMF was so harmless as PSE and Mr. Beckley seem to believe, then the EPA would not have recommendations on how to reduce exposure to EMF, the EU would not have regulations to minimize and limit exposure
to EMF, and 29 forward-looking nations and several states in the US would not have regulations and guidelines about limiting exposure to EMF. PSE proposal “M” runs in the same easement as the 50 year old fuel pipelines. Replacing the current H-poles with twice as tall monopoles is calling for an accident to happen during construction. An accident in a dense residential area would be catastrophic. Again, no concern, and not mentioned. Increased power line noise from 230 kV is of no concern either. Humidity amplifies PLN. This area is among the highest average humidity zones in the U.S. The proposed twice as tall and ugly poles for line “M” will stand out more and also destroy the views of the Cascades and Mount Rainier from more homes. That, plus the health effects of EMF and increased power line noise will impact property values, and not only for those properties that are closest to the power line. Overhead power lines do not belong in residential areas any more than sewage treatment plants or waste depositories for nuclear power plants. To replace the current power lines with 230 kV lines on taller poles is the worst thing that PSE, a company-owned by foreign interests, could do to our quality of life and property values. It must not be allowed to happen. There are other much more community-friendly solutions.

The $60 vehicle fee would come with a low-income rebate program of $20 off for qualifying households with incomes less than 45 percent of the county’s median income. In addition, Proposition 1 will fund Metro’s low-income fare program. This program would provide a low-income fare of $1.25 for qualifying riders for two years. If Proposition 1 does not pass, the lowincome fare will be $1.50 and be funded through other sources at Metro. The estimated impact per household in King County would be approximately $11 per month.

PSE sets Energize meetings The next series of neighborhood workshops is under way on the Energize Eastside project, which will allow Puget Sound Energy to bring new, higher-capacity electric transmission lines to serve the growing need of homes and businesses on the Eastside. A session specifically designed to answer questions from community members has also been added, based on feedback received by PSE. Neighbors will be able to directly ask or write down questions that will be answered by representatives from PSE and national experts. The question-and-answer session in Renton is from 6-9 p.m. All other meetings are from 6:30-9 p.m. The Renton question-and-answer session in Renton is April 21 at Renton Technical College, 3000 N.E.

PSE started public outreach on the Energize Eastside project in January, with open houses, community meetings and neighborhood workshops. Information from the events is funneled to a Community Advisory Group, which plans to make a recommendation on a route option to Puget Sound Energy in the fall. PSE expects to make the final decision on the path of the transmission lines by the end of this year. The chosen route will move forward for design and permitting in early 2015. Construction on the new transmission lines is planned to begin in 2017, and should be operational in 2018. A calendar at PSE.com/EnergizeEastside has the most up-to-date information.

CROP Walk is Sunday, May 4 By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
For the 31st year, the Renton CROP Hunger Walk will raise money to help end hunger locally and worldwide. This year’s event is Sunday, May 4, starting at the Liberty Park shelter and progressing down the Cedar River Trail – at a distance of your choice. The full walk is six miles, all the way to the Ron Regis Park. Or there’s the Golden 1.5-mile Walk or participants can set their own distance. Sharon Kenyon again serves as the CROP Walk co-coordinator. Walkers can sign up through their participating church or organization, at the walk or online. Those under 18 will need a parent’s signature on the form or a parent’s permission online, according to Kenyon. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are the only wheels permitted. The goal of the 31st year of the walk is to

raise more than $31,000, Kenyon said. In the last 30 years, Renton’s walk has raised more than $533,000 and contributed more than $133,000 helping Renton food agencies. Last year, Renton made the top 100 for the fifth time, being 57th out of over 1,400 walks across the country, raising nearly $34,000. Registration for the walks this year is 1 p.m.-1:25 p.m. on May 4 at Liberty Park. The walks are 1:30 p.m.-4 p.m. on the Cedar River Trail. Runners start first. • The 10K/6-mile walk heads east along Cedar River Trail, to Ron Regis Park and then returns. Checkpoints along the way have snacks, drinks, phones, first-aid kits and rides back. • The “Golden 1.5-Mile Walk” is from the Liberty Park Shelter east to the first checkpoint at Riverview Park Shelter. Rides back are available at all checkpoints. The Renton CROP Hunger Walk is sponsored by the REACH (Renton Ecumenical
Association of Churches). It’s a program of Church World Service (CWS). CROP donation envelopes are available for CROP Hunger Walk volunteers and walkers. There are other donation options available, too. Seventy-five percent of the money raised goes to fight hunger globally, and the rest stays in the local community. Locally, assistance is provided to: • The Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank. • ARISE (Area of Renton Interfaith Shelter Endeavor), providing food and shelter for about 20 homeless men in the Renton area, and helping to place men in permanent housing. • The Margie Williams Helping Hands,
providing food Saturday mornings at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Baptist Church. • St Vincent de Paul Food Bank, providing nonperishable large food sacks and also lunch sacks at St Anthony Church. They deliver food sacks when needed. • Center of Hope, providing a day center at Renton City Hall and night shelter at churches for homeless women and children. This includes boys 12 and older, so families can stay together. For more information on the walk or to sign up online, visit the group’s website at www.rentoncrophungerwalk.org For new groups wishing to participate, or for any questions, contact Sharon Kenyon at 425-271-2080.

Final library costs await bid awards [ library from page 1] Miller Hull’s engineer’s estimate for the downtown library is $6.2 million and The Robinson Co.’s estimate is $6.5 million. The engineer’s estimate represents the base construction costs without taxes, contingencies and other factors. The total budget for the Highlands Library is $10 million. Project architect THA Architecture’s engineer’s estimate is $6.8 million and The Robinson Co. came up with $7.5 million for their estimate. Wang said she wasn’t really surprised by the differences in cost estimates in the report because all can be explained and the construction estimates are just estimates. Both estimates fall within the total project budget because of contingencies, she said. “At this time, if the construction costs are as predicted by The Robinson Company, the project budgets have sufficient project contingency funds, the “cushion” to cover the estimated higher construction costs,” said Wang via email Tuesday. “But for the new Highlands library, this will nearly

help to minimize construction change orders later,” Wang said, regarding the architecture and engineering costs. Jay Covington, city chief administrative officer, said he and the council members weren’t hearing anything new in the report but hoped for some more rationale from The Robinson Co. on the numbers. “It’s going to cost us a little more money than we hoped,” Covington said of the Highlands library. For the Highlands library project, The Robinson Co. feels the work should cost $28,000 less, so $912,000 instead of $940,000, Wang reported. Wang mentioned that THA Architecture, the Highlands project architect, has told KCLS recently that its cost has already exceeded the contract by $120,000. “It is clear that the project is more complex than typical design projects that The Robinson Co. used as basis of their conclusions,” said Wang.

etched with the depiction of three Boeing airplanes historically built in Renton and used at the airport: a 737, a 707 and a depiction of a B-1 seaplane. According to Dahle, the B-1 seaplane was used by pilot Edward Hubbard to shuttle mail between Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia. The new wall will feature red and white markings across the top and will also be “dynamic,” according to Dahle. The plan is for the wall to include pieces of aluminum that will shimmer when hit by wind or by the blast of a jet. In addition, the center of the wall will be reddish in color, fading to a cool blue at the ends to represent the effects of a jet engine hitting it. The total cost of the project is estimated at about $1.15 million, with 90 percent of the funding coming from a Federal Aviation Administration grant. The FAA grant does not include the artwork or landscaping, so Jacobson estimated the city’s share of the cost to be between $200,000 and $250,000 when all is said and done.

City of Renton Public Notice Stormwater Project Comment Period The City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton WA 98057, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge Permit. The proposed project, Harrington Ave NE Stormwater Green Connections Stormwater Improvement Project is located at Harrington Avenue NE between NE 16th Street and NE 10th Street, within City right-of-way, in Renton, in King County. This project involves 2.0 acres of soil disturbance for utilities, stormwater treatment facilities, and porous concrete sidewalk construction. The receiving water is Johns Creek, a tributary to Lake Washington at Gene Coulon Park, in Renton.

Any person desiring to present their views to the Department of Ecology regarding this application may do so in writing within thirty days of the last date of publication of this notice. Comments shall be submitted to the Department of Ecology. Any person interested in Ecology’s action on this application may notify the department of their interest within thirty days of the last date of publication of this notice.

The object of the above entitled action is to collect monies due on a promissory note and to obtain a prejudgment writ of attachment on the real properties legally described in the Complaint attached hereto. NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the military service, and to their dependents. Dependents of a service member are the service member’s spouse, the service member’s minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than onehalf of the individual’s support for one hundred eighty days immediately preceding an application for relief. One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circumstances. This notice only pertains to a defendant who is a dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days. Other defendants in military service also have protections against default judgments not covered by this notice. If you are the dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days, you should notify the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s attorneys in writing of your status as such within twenty days of the receipt of this notice. If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a dependent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default j udgment without further proof of your status.Your response to the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorneys about your status does not constitute an appearance for jurisdictional purposes in any pending litigation nor a waiver of your rights.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Organ donors needed By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
LifeNet Health Northwest wants people to seriously consider registering to become a tissue, organ or cornea donor this April for National Donate Life Month. The organ donation and tissue banking services agency has a facility in Renton, where they have a recovery suite, process and storage area, to house donations until they are deemed suitable and safe for transplantation. LifeNet Health Northwest was founded as the Northwest Tissue Center in the late 1980s by the Puget Sound Blood Center, the University of Washington and the Northwest Kidney Center. “The numbers are improving particularly out here in the Northwest,” said Mark VanAllman, general manager for the center. “The states of Montana, Washington, Alaska and Oregon tend to have higher registry rates than other states. For some reason people in the Northwest think more about giving and recycling in that way.” The demand for organs still outweighs the supply, he said, so it’s important people take
Mark VanAllman is general manager of LifeNet Health Northwest. the steps to register if they are interested. Still, there are a number of reasons people hold back VanAllman said. “For some folks, there are religious concerns that the body has to be whole,” he said. “For some folks, they just feel like maybe doctors aren’t going to do everything they can do to save people necessarily, which is totally false. It’s just a very personal decision for people.”
The biggest challenge is informing potential donors about the benefits of donation, like donating to children who were born with congenital heart defects, said the general manager. “I think it’s just a matter of how well informed you are in the benefits of tissue donation,” VanAllman said. He also notes that as far as tissues are concerned, LifeNet Health Northwest distributes more than 500,000 allograft bioimplants per week to patients in need. The center serves the Pacific Northwest in providing hospital and community education, tissue recovery, tissue processing and distribution services. LifeNet Health Northwest also receives tissues processed in their Virginia location and they serve as the primary distribution center for Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Arkansas, Hawaii, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and Northern California.

PRESENTED BY WASHINGTON STATE BEEF COMMISSION
Renton School District gets clean audit from state By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
The Renton School District got a clean audit from the Washington state Auditor’s Office. “Overall, I’m very pleased with the report,” said John Knutson, assistant superintendent of operations. The annual audit was for the Sept. 1, 2012, to Aug. 31, 2013, period and it is the 11th audit to receive no findings. The Washington state Auditor’s Office found no deficiencies or weaknesses in how the district handles it’s financial statements. Also, the audit found no deficiencies or material weaknesses in their control over major federal programs in the district. The school breakfast program, the national school lunch program and summer program, special education grants, English Language Acquisition grants and Head Start are all programs that were evaluated during the audit period. The district’s total expenditures for the year were more than $214 million, according to Knutson. The district did hire a staff person to verify the hours worked by other staff on two federally funded programs and who need to be reimbursed. It was the only corrective action taken by the district based on the audit’s findings. “Regarding the Head Start and English Language Acquisition State grants, in 2012, the District was late in preparing and submitting the required certifications that indicating that time charged to these grants was spent on allowable activities under the grants,” said Knutson. The district has taken action to fully correct the finding of failing to adequately support payroll charges reimbursed by federal grant money, the report states.
