A legal battle between the city of Covington and the Kent School District reached the nuclear option Oct. 27 when the Covington City Council unanimously approved an ordinance terminating the collection of school impact fees. The dispute began more than a year ago and culminated in the ordinance that severed the interlocal agreement between the district and the city for the collection of impact fees that dates back to 1997. According to the interlocal agreement and the city code, the city collects school impact fees on development projects for capital facilities for the district. The new ordinance repeals the municipal code concerning school impact fees and terminates the interlocal agreement. According to the city the district has received about $5 million in impact fees since 1999. BACKGROUND The dispute began around May 2014 when Inland group requested a partial exemption from the school impact fees of $700,000 for a Town Center development for low-income families. The city staff determined an 80 percent exemption was necessary for the development to be built. The city staff wrote in the documents with the new ordinance, “…the City also recognizes that though school impact fees support the District’s infrastructure, without impact fee exemptions affordable housing development, which is an equally important public need governed and re[ more FEES page 2 ]

[2] November 13, 2015 [ FEES from page 1] quired to be provided for by state growth management regulations, would not be built….” The city’s point was a developer cannot pass the cost of the impact fees onto a buyer because the price of low-income housing is determined by state law. According to the city the district was notified in May 2014 of a preliminary decision to grant the exemption to Inland. The district notified the

city in September 2014 of its objection to the exemption. In October of 2014 the city officially granted the developer an 80 percent exemption. The full fee would have been about $700,000 and an 80 percent exemption brought the fee to $135,120, which Inland paid to the district. DISPUTE The district disagreed with the city’s decision that it had the legal standing to

decide whether an exemption could be granted. The district contended state law did not give the city the authority to approve the exemption without approval from the district. The city disagreed and stated the interlocal agreement gives the authority to the community development director to make the impact fees determination. In the end the two parties could not come to an agreement over the interpretation of the state law RCW 82.02.020(3), and which

entity had the authority over the collection of school impact fees. The district filed a request for a declaratory judgment with the King County Superior Court on June 5. The city filed a motion to dismiss the district’s request. The district is asking the court through a declaratory judgment request to rule the city is required to ask for approval before granting an exemption. The city’s motion to dismiss stated the exemption is a land-use decision and the district should have

filed a Land Use Petition Act or LUPA appeal within 21 days of the exemption decision by the city. ORDINANCE REPEAL According to the city documents the action to repeal the school impact fee ordinance and end the interlocal agreement was to stop the litigation, make the request for a declaratory judgment “moot” and halt the spending of public money. City officials stated, “the City may terminate the ILA and its obligation to

collect school impact fees on behalf of the District at any time, for any reason….” The ordinance also noted the City Council can decide at any time to, “….reinstitute the collection of school impact fees should the state legislature amend RCW 82.02.060(3) to clearly state the city’s authority to independently issue final approvals for exemption requests or exclusions from school impact fees and/or should the City and District together reach a similar agreement….”

Kids need to understand our jobs come first and we fit the rest of our tasks in as we have time; their job is school. For me, it was better to have her at school in a foul mood than be at home, not getting anything done because she was in a foul mood, then watch it snowball with missed school work. When the kids got home from school, my youngest had a headache she claims was caused by dehydration, which it partly may have been, but I’m sure sugar withdrawal also contributed.

The one lesson I’ve learned as a parent is not to take my kids’ moods personally. I watch them carefully, because I think teen depression is one of the scariest emotional states for a parent to deal with, but I know it’s not about me. However, something I’ve said or done may trigger an icy mood. Like the Sunday after Halloween, during my youngest daughter’s candy- induced sugar crash, when I told her that yes, she had to go to school on Monday. She felt overwhelmed because we’d torn apart a corner of her room after her friends left on Sunday morning from their Halloween party. She was unable to mentally deal with the room, plus she had

table. I asked about her icy mood that morning and she told me she had hoped I’d bring it up and let her stay home. I’m her mother. I know those times when she truly needs a mental break from school. Monday she was just being lazy and even though her statement “I just didn’t want to go to school” was partially so she could work on settling her bedroom, I was pretty sure she’d have slept off her sugar hangover instead. However, I had noticed she’d been in a melancholy mood of late. I realized last week she hadn’t really taken ownership of her new room since she and her friend moved in there in July. I felt bad for her, because I know I feel paralyzed to accomplish anything when my space is in chaos. We tore apart that corner of the room so she could resolve those issues. Again, being the voice of reason, I talked her into letting go of her beloved desk. It worked great in her little, cozy bedroom. But in the larger bonus room she now shares with our adopted middle daughter, it just took up space that would

I checked on her progress every so often to see the transformation; not just in the room, but also in my daughter. I was in my bedroom when I heard her tinkling of laughter in the hallway. Although she’s not been a Sad Sack since July when they moved in to the room, I realized I hadn’t heard the relaxation in her voice for many weeks; maybe since school started. That was the giggle of a girl who felt like she was finally settled and in control with full ownership of her space. It’s amazing what a few shelves will do.

We are also a culture centered around the automobile. But lack of sleep and driving a car is a deadly combination. On Washington’s roads, there were at least 10 deaths and 77 serious injuries in 2013 that were directly linked to a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. According to the AAA Foundation, drowsy drivers

are involved in an estimated 21 percent of all fatal crashes, up from 4.5 percent from 2010. Nationwide, drowsy drivers have caused 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year. A reasonable person would never drive a car when drunk. But many people will drive when they are too tired. There is no difference between being drunk or tired when you are behind the wheel. A study by research[ more DROWSY page 8 ]

Dehydration can become a serious medical condition, and it can do so very quickly, so be aware of the symptoms before they begin, especially when exercising, working in the sun, or doing other strenuous activity. Anyone who has a fever or other illness should also be on the lookout for signs. However, while experiencing the feeling of thirst is an indicator of dehydration, it is not always the best way to tell if a person is in need of additional fluids. The color of urine output can be a good way to check. Generally speaking, the lighter the color of the urine, the better. Dark urine can be an indicator of dehydration, as can a dry mouth, headache, and dizziness. While mild dehydration can usually be resolved by drinking more fluids, older adults can be more severely affected and might need medical attention. Prevention is an important first step in treating dehydration. Dehydration is often a clinical diagnosis. Aside from diagnosing the reason for dehydration, a healthcare provider’s examination of a patient will assess the level of dehydration.

Voters have spoken and no one could be pleased more by what they said than Tim Eyman. The professional initiative promoter from Mukilteo had another antitax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot. And, like many of its predecessors, it received support in nearly every county in the state. “I’m absolutely elated,” he gushed during a phone call after downing four glazed doughnuts at a pop-up Election Night party at a Krispy Kreme in Seattle. “It is incredibly gratifying.” Initiative 1366 may be his boldest attempt yet to force state lawmakers to do something many don’t want to do, which is to make it harder for them to create new taxes or raise existing ones. The measure requires the state’s sales tax be reduced by a penny next year unless the Legislature approves a constitutional amendment requiring any new or higher tax be approved by a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate. Voters must approve the constitutional amendment, too. On Election Night, I-1366 was passing with 54 percent statewide, ahead in 35 counties. However, it was losing in King County where the largest mass of pro-tax voters lives, so the final outcome is sure to be closer. Regardless of the ending margin, Eyman said the results show when it comes to taxes most voters would like to see them go down if they can and make it harder for them to go up if they can’t. Eyman celebrated this political touchdown with a little extra step in his victory dance. Obviously he enjoyed repelling foes who contended the measure amounted to blackmailing lawmakers with the loss of billions of sales tax dollars for schools and state programs if they didn’t pass the Jerry Cornfield

Eyman pleased but legal hurdles are ahead

Two questions came to my mind after seeing the results of the Nov. 3 elections: do voters make good decisions in a democracy, or is it better that the uninformed not vote? And does the skill and knowledge that it takes to win an election actually serve that politician once in office? At this time in an off-year election year and with the presidential election looming in 2016, these questions are extremely relevant. Ever since we have had elections in this country, the debate has raged whether all adult citizens should vote, or only those who are best educated and aware. At the beginning of this nation’s existence in the 1780s, only free, propertied, white males 21 and older were given the right to vote. As this nation grew, the franchise was gradually extended to include all white adult males, then later, because of the passage of 13th, 14th and 15th amendments after the Civil War, freed black adult males could, for a time, vote. Later, with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, adult females were given the right to vote nationally. Finally, in 1971, the 24th Amendment was ratified, giving 18-year olds the right to suffrage. This amendment passed due to the Vietnam War where

tax-limiting constitutional amendment. Eyman also relished that most voters apparently didn’t give a hoot he was the driving force behind the initiative, though opponents strived to disparage the measure by tying his name to it. This could have been a year for such a tactic to work. Eyman is under investigation by Attorney General Bob Ferguson for allegedly breaking a bunch of election laws in 2012 in order to pass his last anti-tax measure. He’s been publicly accused of secretly moving hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions between two initiative campaigns and failing to disclose making $300,000 for himself in the process. “They threw everything they had at us,” Eyman said. Now, in an ironic twist, before Ferguson begins prosecuting Eyman for any past electoral hanky-panky, he could be defending the legitimacy of the initiative entrepreneur’s latest undertaking. Opponents have vowed to continue their fight in the courts, con-

soldiers younger than 21 were fighting and dying for their country without any input over who was leading them. Based on the vast number of amendments that have been ratified regarding the expansion of voting rights, it seems that Americans believe the more people who vote the better it is for the nation. But is that really the case? As a civics and government teacher, a former elected official and an editorial pundit who writes about politics, I get very discouraged at times about the ignorance of the average American voter. Because of my experiences, I have learned there is much that goes on in politics that most voters are blithely unaware of. The attitudes of politicians, their decisions and their actions behind the scenes take place without the average voter really knowing or understanding. These attitudes, decisions and actions have an enormous impact upon all of us. Sometimes, when I see low voter turnout, I rejoice, because I know many voters are uninformed and would make bad decisions if they took time to vote. At other times I’m deeply impressed that the voters got the right message and made informed decisions that will benefit the greatest number. For my second question, there are four skills necessary to be an excellent politician: 1 – Sales and marketing: winning elections demands the ability to sell oneself –your goals and perspectives – to the voter. Not all of us are good at marketing. 2 – Coalition-building: having the social and emotional intelligence to work with others who may In Focus

differ from you to do what’s right for the public. Many lack these “people skills” and thus are poor representatives. 3 – Advocacy: the ability to act as an intermediary between the constituent and the bureaucracy. The government bureaucracy is often stupid, selfish and rule-bound. There are some constituents who need help working through the Byzantine maze. That’s one skill all politicians need to serve their public. 4 – Mental toughness: the maturity and the ability to deal with conflict in a constructive way. Politics is often a dirty business where solutions are messy. There must be the willingness for our elected representatives to get their hands and feet into the mud and to hold their noses to the stench of human nature in the raw. Few people have all these skill sets. As a result we have all the problems and scandals that political opponents bring to the surface before elections. Some are true and some are manufactured to trick voters into voting for them. The answer to my first question is that those who proposed and ratified the amendments knew that the greater the participation in government, the greater chance of good results. The answer to my second question is that it takes an elected official with a large toolbox of skills to be a successful politician. However, the system we have was so intelligently formulated that even when we have stupid and selfish public servants, good comes because the Constitution’s structure took human nature into account. We can be thankful to the founders of this nation for that.

A Kent Regional Fire Authority’s program will start providing a new type of non-emergency medical assistance that will increase the level of care in our community. The Fire Department Community Assistance, Referral, and Education Services division, known as FDCARES, was developed several years ago to provide better nonemergency medical assistance to the community and connect residents with the healthcare and social services they need. A new development in FDCARES is an 18-month pilot program which places

a registered nurse with a firefighter on a cost effective vehicle which will respond 911 calls 24 hours a day that are determined to be nonemergency by Valley Communications, the 911 call receiving center for south King County. In addition, the nurse/ firefighter team will also provide proactive home visits to residents who previously had relied on the 911 system for their primary medical care. The goal of the program is to build healthier communities by delivering the right care, at the right place, at

You can do fall garden clean-up either way. If you decide to “chop and drop”, leave the cut remains of tomato plants, marigolds, daylilies and daisies lying on top of the soil to provide winter protection and to slowly decay and add organic matter. The slimy side of this method is that slugs and other thugs can more easily overwinter. If you practice “cut and carry away” your beds will be neat and clean but more exposed. The best way but the most work is to cut and carry (anything brown, cut it down) and place the debris into a pile with a topping of green grass clippings.

Wait until early spring to prune forsythia and quince and when it comes to rhodies and azaleas, remember, pruning after blooming. I have read that the best time to move or add peonies to the garden is in the fall. What month of the fall? Is now too late to move my peonies? P.C., Tacoma November is the perfect month to move or add new peonies to the garden. Just remember that most peonies fail to bloom because they are planted too deep, so replant the thick and fleshy peony root so the eye or growth bud is just below the surface of the soil. You can cut off the leafy green tops of your peony plants this month even if they don’t need a transplant (Don’t cut back tree peonies). Removing the foliage in the fall will help your peonies resist leaf blight on new growth in the spring.

The Compleat Home Gardener

The second week of November is a good time to put the garden and your garden tools to bed. If the weather provides a dry day, take advantage of this window to mow the lawn one last time before winter sets in. Try to use up all the gas in your mower before storing it for the winter. This is a good time to do other mower maintenance including sharpening the mower blades as recommended by the maker of the mowing machine. Collect the clippings from your last cut so you have green material to add on top of the compost pile. If you want to enjoy a tidy look all winter take the time to trim and edge your lawn as well. Keeping the leaves raked from the lawn will encourage a thicker turf that can crowd out weeds in the spring. Some people say I should leave my flowering plants to die back naturally all winter while some experts recommend cutting back the tops of perennials and annuals in the fall so the garden is tidy all winter.

We tend to ignore statistics of drowsy driving injuries and deaths. We think, “That will never happen to me.” Sadly, my daughter Mora Shaw was one of those drowsy driving stats. She and my family know first-

Nine years ago, Mora, then a 17 year old Issaquah High graduate, was nearly killed as a result of driver who fell asleep at the wheel while driving over Blewett Pass. Suffering serious multiple fractures and a two week coma, Mora barely survived. She spent years in recovery. Like drunk driving prevention 30 years ago, the only thing that will change

mind-sets and habits about drivers getting behind the wheel of a car when they have not slept for 20 plus hours is swift and sure penalties. Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving. Their attitudes and our laws about it need to change. Drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk drivers do. Ask the family and friends of those lost or

During the busy holiday season, we urge all drivers to be aware of their fatigue before getting behind the wheel of a car. Get some rest and save a life. The Shaw family has made it their mission to educate the public on the all too often tragic consequences of driving while drowsy. In addition to Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2015 Drowsy Driving Pre-

vention and Awareness Week proclamation, the Shaw family has also partnered with the Washington State Patrol, the Washington state Traffic Safety Commission, AAA of Washington, The Washington state Department of Transportation and the King County Sheriffs’ Office in their efforts to promote Drowsy Driving awareness and prevention in Washington. The statewide proclamation is also in concert with the National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, sponsored by the National Sleep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving website: http://drowsydriv-

Here is a breakdown of the collision stats state wide for drowsy driving: • 2014: 2,272 collisions in which falling asleep or fatigue were causing factors; • 2014: six fatalities in which falling asleep or fatigue were causing factors; • 2015: 2,183 collisions in which falling asleep or fatigue were causing factors (as of October) • 2015: nine fatalities in which falling asleep or fatigue were the suspected causing factor (through Oct. 6)
