BUSINESS AGENDA A. Resolution: King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt King County's Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, which is pending approval of cities representing at least 75% of the population during the 120-day approval period.

UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. B. Interlocal Purchasing Agreement: Job Order Contracting Staff is seeking Council approval of an Interlocal Joint Purchasing Agreement with the City of Bellevue which would provide access to the use of their Job Order Contract (JOC) for a maximum amount of $1,000,000. A JOC is a State -approved procurement method in which a contractor agrees to provide an indefinite quantity delivery of negotiated and definitive work orders from a pre -established catalog on contracts over a fixed period. The City of Bellevue's JOC has a $4 million capacity per year over three years, and this Agreement would allow Tukwila to use up to $1 million of this capacity over the same period. The maximum dollar amount for any one work order is $500,000. Committee members discussed the proposal and requested that staff present this to the Committee of the Whole since it is a new method of procurement for the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. C. Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program Staff provided a summary of progress and efforts to date for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, which was adopted in 2018 by Resolution 1955 to address residents' concerns about traffic safety. The program is taking off and staff has been installing Level 1 treatments that include new permanent speed feedback signs, LED enhanced signs, and parking restriction signs. Requests for new crosswalks have come in, but these require engineering study and are classified as a Level 2 treatment under the Program. Staff has contracted KPG, Inc. for assistance with engineering and may require use of other consultants in the future. Committee members and staff reviewed a matrix of requests that indicates rank, location, assessment information, status and more. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. Chair Idan suggested adding requests and their status to the City's website. FORWARD BRIEFING TO AUGUST 26, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
