City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />TO: Finance Committee <br />FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst <br />CC: Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: March 9, 2017 <br />SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee <br />ISSUE <br />The proposed ordinance would ensure that membership of the Public Safety Bond Financial <br />Oversight Committee is consistent across all legislative documents. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Ordinance 2509, passed on August 1, 2016, placed the Public Safety Bond Measure on the <br />November 2016 ballot and provided for the appointment of a Financial Oversight Committee. <br />The ordinance specified that the Financial Oversight Committee would include five members <br />comprising two residents, two members of the business community, and one member from a <br />nonprofit located in Tukwila. That ordinance also gave Council the authority to "prescribe by <br />ordinance or resolution such other rules relating to the appointment process and the operation <br />of the Financial Oversight Committee as shall be necessary or appropriate." <br />Resolution 1892, passed on October 3, 2016, adopted a formal Charter that outlined a <br />framework for the Financial Oversight Committee in greater detail. At that time, the Council <br />decided that the Committee should include five members comprising two residents, two <br />members from the business community, and one "at-large" member who could be from the <br />residential, business, or nonprofit category. <br />The City Attorney recommends amending the original ordinance to ensure that all legislative <br />documents pertaining to the Financial Oversight Committee are consistent. Staff recommends <br />making the language in the ordinance as general as possible in the event that future changes <br />are desired by Council. If so, the Charter will be amended and the ordinance will not need to be <br />revisited. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Finance Committee forward the draft ordinance to the April 3 <br />Regular Consent Agenda with a recommendation to approve. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />• Draft ordinance <br />
