PRESENTATIONS <br /> <br />II.BUSINESS AGENDA <br /> <br />A. Ordinance: Amending Gambling Tax <br />Staff is proposing an amendment to the Tukwila Municipal Code to increase the gambling <br />activities tax on cardrooms from 10% to 11%. There are currently four cardrooms in Tukwila, <br />and there is a provision in the code that the rate would become 15% when more than five are <br />operating. Gambling taxes are used primarily for public safety, and state law caps the tax at 20%. <br />Jurisdictions vary on regulation of card rooms. Auburn has a rate of 4% and Redmond has 12%. <br />Kent and King County are at 11%. The proposed 1% increase would generate approximately <br />$350,000 in additional revenue. Committee members briefly discussed the proposal and <br />decided to forward the item for full Council discussion with no recommendation. NO <br />RECOMMENDATION.
