Finance Committee Minutes................................................................................................................................... August 22, 2017 <br />Ms. Mann addressed the Committee with her concerns about businesses operating without a <br />license on TIB. Staff responded that the City encourages people to report this to the City for <br />follow-up. In addition, it is anticipated that when Tukwila converts to the state licensing system <br />these will easier to identify. With regard to enforcement of litter regulations, the Code <br />Enforcement division is back up to full staffing and Waste Management has added three more <br />containers on TIB. Code Enforcement is complaint based, and the City encourages reports. <br />Duringthis discussion, a question arose aboutthe definition of"restaurant," and what licensing <br />requirements are for vending machines. Staff will follow up. <br />Chair Seal noted that there are several different approaches to this problem and is hopeful that <br />streamlined enforcement processes and full staffing will help. Councilmember McLeod <br />encourages the Cityto look at the culture of enforcement and thanked TIBAC for their volunteer <br />efforts. Councilmember Hougardy noted that the draft flyer for new businesses encourages <br />businesses to "do their part," but nowhere are penalties or consequences mentioned. She <br />would like to see added language such as "failure to comply may result in revocation of your <br />license." Chair Seal noted that equitable communication to a diverse population is important <br />and sees a relationship between business education and the new Equity Policy once it's <br />approved.
