INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Committee of the Whole
FROM: Jack Pace, Community Development Director
DATE: September 23, 2009
SUBJECT: 2009 Housekeeping Code Amendments
ISSUE
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Should the Tukwila Municipal Code be amended to include some housekeeping code
changes that range from code clarification to updating development regulations and
permit processes?
Staff had briefed Community Affairs and Parks Committee on May 11, 2009, regarding
a number of housekeeping code amendments. The Committee decided to forward the
proposed amendments to Planning Commission for consideration and review. Planning
Commission was briefed on the proposed amendments on June 25, 2009. A couple of
additional items were added to the list after briefing the Committee on July 27, 2009.
Planning Commission held a public hearing on all the proposed changes on August 27,
2009 and their recommendations are reflected in the attached ordinance.
On September 14, 2009, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee was briefed on
the recommendations of the Planning Commission. The draft ordinance reviewed at
CAP meeting had grouped code amendments per each chapter of the Zoning Code.
The ordinance attached to this memo has more sections with one section for each
section of the amended code.
DISCUSSION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES
Listed below is the summary of the proposed changes that have been incorporated in
the attached draft ordinance:
1. Section 1: This section allows parking in the rear yard setback of a single family
residence where it is connected to a rear alley.
2. Section 2 of the draft Ordinance adds an expiration date to Binding Site
Improvement Plans similar to Short Plat or Boundary Line Adjustment
applications.
3. Section 3 through 10 of the draft Ordinance: These sections amend the following
definitions:
a) Definition of a hotel and motel has been amended to limit the
accommodation to 30 days, in order to be consistent with International
Building Code. Also, a definition for an extended -stay lodging facility is
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
added. Further the stay in an extended -stay is limited to 180 days; and
extending -stays are allowed in all zones that allow hotels /motels.
b) Per TMC 18.06.505, Lot Area means the total horizontal area within the
boundary lines of a lot and exclusive of street right -of -way, street
easement, or private access roads serving more than one lot authorized
pursuant to the subdivision ordinance. This definition does not address the
fire lanes which in many cases are similar to the private road but are
meant to serve more than one lot. Planning Commission recommended
including the area of the private road that serves up to 4 lots in the lot area
for the purposes of meeting minimum lot area requirements.
c) A new definition of a religious facility has been added. The current code
lists churches as a use but there is no definition.
d) Per TMC 18.06.740, roof eaves may intrude a maximum of 18 inches into
the required setbacks. Staff recommended that this 18 inch overhang may
also be allowed for other type of overhangs (such as a bay window) if it is
approved as part of design review approval of a project and the overhang
helps in providing modulation of the facade. Planning Commission
recommended increasing the 18 inch overhang to 24 inch in addition to
allowing other types of overhangs besides roof eaves.
e) Limited access state routes such as 1 -5 and 1 -405, private access
easements and subdivision tracts for access are considered streets
according to the Zoning Code's definition. This effects the type of lots
(corner, through) and their setbacks and landscape requirements. The
definition of street has been amended to include such streets for the
purposes of determining types of lot and their setbacks and landscaping
requirements.
4. Section 11 through 59:
a) The list of primary uses in all zones has a category that lists "other uses
not specifically listed in this title which the Director determines to be
similar in nature to and compatible with other uses permitted outright
within this district, consistent with the stated purpose of this district and
consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan However
accessory uses are limited to those specifically listed. A category similar to
the "other uses that are customarily accessory to the listed permitted
uses" and that are determined by the Director to be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan has been added to the list of accessory uses in all
zones.
b) The thresholds for when design review is required in LDR, MDR and HDR
zones needed to be clarified. The proposed changes require design
review for all institutions in LDR zones. Also, the existing code does not
have any thresholds for remodels or renovations of multi family
developments. In commercial zones if the cost of any exterior work equals
or exceeds 10% of the building's assessed value then the project is
subject to design review. Staff recommended similar threshold for
residential projects in MDR and HDR zones. Planning Commission
concurred with staff. These changes have been incorporated in Section
13, 16 and 73 of the draft ordinance.
W:12009 InfoMemos\Housekeeping Code changes- COW.doc
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
c) Churches are listed as Conditional Uses in a number of zones. It came to
the City's attention that there may be about thirty small churches that are
located in multi- tenant commercial buildings. The definitions section was
amended to include a broader definition of a religious facility that would
include churches as well as synagogues, mosques etc. Further, under the
proposed changes, a facility in residential zones would still require a
Conditional Use Permit, but only a larger facility in commercial zones, with
more than 50 attendees would require a Conditional Use Permit. Planning
Commission agreed with staff's recommendations and these changes are
reflected in the attached ordinance. Per International Building Code the
occupancy load of 50 people equates to 750 square feet of floor area,
therefore any religious facility with an assembly area of less than 750
square feet is listed as a permitted use in all commercial zoning districts
and those with area larger than 750 square feet will continue to require a
Conditional Use Permit.
d) Mixed Use Office zone lists the maximum height as 3 stories or 45 feet.
Most of other zones have a requirement of either 3 stories /35 feet or 4
stories /45 feet. The proposed changes will allow 4 stories /45feet in MUO
zone. This is reflected in Section 22 of the Ordinance.
e) Extended -stay hotels /motels are listed as permitted uses in all zones that
currently allow hotels /motels.
5. Section 60: The Department of Community Development will sometimes receive
technical reports as part of land use applications that require peer review, such
as noise reports, lighting plans, parking demand studies, geotechnical reports,
structural review reports etc. The code addresses peer review of geotechnical
reports and structural review reports and the applicant is already responsible to
reimburse the City for peer review expenses. However peer review of
miscellaneous reports such as noise reports, lighting plans and parking demand
studies is not addressed in the code. The proposed changes will add a section to
the zoning code to address that these technical reports may undergo peer review
at the expense of the applicant.
6. Section 61 through 65: These sections amend the Landscape Chapter of the
Zoning Code to include landscaping requirements for institutional uses in Low
Density Zone; adds plant and soil specifications; and allows flexibility in the
required front yard landscaping so that the required width may be divided
between the perimeter strip and one or more other landscape areas between the
building and the front property line.
7. Section 66 and 67: These sections amend the Parking Chapter of the Zoning
Code to allow a two foot overhang in the landscape area for the regular and
compact stalls. Also, the parking determination for Parks has been changed to an
administrative decision instead of the Planning Commission approval.
8. Section 68 through 72: These sections amend the Wireless Facilities Chapter
and change the references to Type 4 Planning Commission decision to Type 3
Hearing Examiner decision.
W:12009 InfoMemos\Housekeeping Code changes COW.doc
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 4
9. Section 73: This section establishes when a multifamily development in MDR and
HDR zones is subject to design review.
10 Section 74: This section clarifies the term "occupancy permit" as it is used in the
Zoning Code Sections 96.030, .060 and .070. There is no definition of an
occupancy permit in the Zoning Code. However an occupancy permit in the
Zoning Code has a different meaning than an occupancy permit in the Building
Code. The occupancy permit in the Zoning Code is interpreted by the Planning
Department to mean the review and recording of zoning compliance as
accomplished through the building permit and business license application
procedures.
11 Section 75 through 80: These sections amend the Permit Types and Procedures
section of the Zoning Code.
ATTACHMENTS
a) The City received a letter from Washington Cities Insurance Authority
recommending that all quasi judicial decisions be made by the Hearing
Examiner as opposed to the Planning Commission and the City Council.
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee was previously briefed on
this item. Staff recommended that the decision makers for most quasi
judicial decisions be changed to the Hearing Examiner, however decision
makers for certain decisions such as unclassified use permits, design
review and rezones be kept the same until such time that substantive
changes are made to the approval criteria. Planning Commission's
recommendations are reflected in the attached ordinance.
b) In order to allow postcard mailing for city notices references to First Class
mailing and 81/2 x11 inch site plan requirement have been deleted.
Further, email notification is allowed where the parties of record choose to
receive this form of notification. Also, payment in lieu of providing mailing
labels has been referenced.

Notes:
Minimum required front yard landscaped areas in the MDR and HDR zones may
have up to 20% of their required landscape area developed for pedestrian and transit facilities
upon approval as a Type 2 special permission decision.
In order to provide flexibility of the site design while still providing the full amount
of landscaping required by code. the front yard landscape width may be divided into a
perimeter strip and one or more other landscape areas between the building and the front
property line. if the perimeter strip is a minimum of ten feet and the landscape materials are
sufficient to provide landscaping along the perimeter and screening of the building mass.
Required landscaping may include a mix of plant materials, pedestrian amenities
and features, outdoor cafe -type seating and similar features, subject to approval as a Type 2
special permission decision. Required plant materials will be reduced in proportion to the
amount of perimeter area devoted to pedestrian oriented space.
Increased to 10 feet if any portion of the yard is within 50 feet of LDR, MDR or HDR.
Increased to 15 feet if any portion of the yard is within 50 feet of LDR, MDR or HDR.
Increased to Type II if the front yard contains truck loading bays, service areas or
outdoor storage.

Increased to Type III if any portion of the yard is within 50 feet of LDR, MDR or
Only required along public streets.
(10) Increased to 10 feet if adjacent to residential uses or non -TSO zoning.
B. The landscape perimeter may be averaged if the total required square footage is
achieved, unless the landscaping requirement has been increased due to proximity to LDR,
MDR or HDR. Landscape perimeter averaging may be allowed as a Type 2 special permission
decision if all of the following criteria are met:
1. Plant material can be clustered to more effectively screen parking areas and blank
building walls.
2. Perimeter averaging enables significant trees or existing built features to be retained.
Page 49 of 67
3. Perimeter averaging is used to reduce the number of driveways and curb cuts and
allow joint use of parking facilities between neighboring businesses.
4. Width of the perimeter landscaping is not reduced to the point that activities on the
site become a nuisance to neighbors.
5. Averaging does not diminish the quality of the site landscape as a whole.

An applicant may request to install a non concealed building attached facility, under
TMC Section 18.58.150.
In the event of uncertainty on the type of a wireless facility, the DCD Director shall
have the authority to determine how a proposed facility is incorporated into Table A.
B. The priorities for the type of wireless communication facility shall be based upon their
placement in Table A; most desirable facilities are located toward the top and least desirable
facilities toward the bottom. Any application for a wireless communication facility must follow
the hierarchy of Table A. For example, an applicant must demonstrate by engineering evidence
that using a transmission tower co- location is not possible before moving to a utility pole co-
location, and so forth, with the last possible siting option being a new tower or waiver request.
C. The City's preferences for locating new wireless communications facilities are as follows:
1. Place antennas on existing structures, such as buildings, towers, water towers, or
electrical transmission towers.
2. Place wireless communication facilities in non residentially -zoned districts and non-
residential property.
3. Place antennas and towers on public property and on appropriate rights -of -way if
practical, provided that no obligation is created herein for the City to allow the use of City
property or public right -of -way for this purpose.
4. City Property/Public Rights -of -Way. The placement of personal wireless
communication facilities on City-owned property and public rights -of -way will be subject to
other applicable sections of the Tukwila Municipal Code and review by other departments (i.e.,
Public Works, Parks and Recreation, etc.).
5. Wireless communication facilities shall not be permitted on property designated as
landmark or as part of a historic district.

Section 70. Ordinance Amended. Ordinance No. 2135 §1 (part), as codified at TMC Section
18.58.060, is amended to read as follows:
18.58.060 New Towers
A. New towers are not permitted within the City unless the Hearine Examiner Planning
Commission finds that the applicant has demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that:
1. Coverage objective There exists an actual (not theoretical) significant gap in service,
and the proposed wireless communication facility will eliminate such significant gap in service;
and
MD:ksn 09/24/2009
Page 58 of 67
2. Alternates No existing tower or structure, or other feasible site or other alternative
technologies not requiring a new tower in the City, can accommodate the applicants proposed
wireless communication facility; and
3. Least intrusive: The proposed new wireless communication facility is designed and
located to remove the significant gap in service in a manner that is, in consideration of the
values, objectives and regulations set forth in this chapter, TMC Title 18, and the Comprehen-
sive Land Use Plan, the least intrusive upon the surrounding area.
B. The Hearing Examiner Corn- icsicr_ shall be the reviewing body on the
application to construct a new tower, and shall determine whether or not each of the above
requirements are met. Examples of evidence demonstrating the foregoing requirements
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. That the tower height is the minimum necessary in order to achieve the coverage
objective;
2. That no existing towers or structures or alternative sites are located within the
geographic area required to meet the applicant's engineering requirements to meet its coverage
objective (regardless of the geographical boundaries of the City);
3. That existing towers or structures are not of a sufficient height or could not
feasibly be extended to a sufficient height to meet the applicants engineering requirements to
meet its coverage objective;
4. That existing structures or towers do not have sufficient structural strength to
support the applicant's proposed antenna and ancillary facilities;
5. That the applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic interference
with the antenna on the existing towers or structures, or the antenna on the existing structures
would cause interference with the applicants proposed antenna;
6. That the fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner or operator
in order to share an existing tower or structure, or to locate at an alternative site, or to adapt an
existing tower or structure or alternative site for sharing, are unreasonable. Costs exceeding
new tower construction by 25% are presumed to be unreasonable;
7. That an alternative technology that does not require the use of a new tower, such
as a cable microcell network using multiple low- powered transmitters /receivers attached to a
wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of alternative technology that exceed new tower or
antenna development shall not be presumed to render the technology unsuitable; and
8. The applicant demonstrates other limiting factors that render existing towers and
structures or other sites or alternative technologies unsuitable.
All engineering and technological evidence must be provided and certified by a
registered and qualified professional engineer and clearly demonstrate the evidence required.
C. The Hearing Examiner after holding a public hearing, shall either
approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application, or remand the application back to
staff for further investigation in a manner consistent with the Hearing Examiner Planning
Commission order.
Section 71. Ordinance Amended. Ordinance No. 2135 §1 (part), as codified at TMC Section
18.58.160, is amended to read as follows:
18.58.160 Zoning Setback Exceptions
A. Generally, wireless communication facilities placed on private property must meet
setbacks of the underlying zoning. However, in some circumstances, allowing modifications to
setbacks may better achieve the goal of this Chapter of concealing such facilities from view.
B. The Director or Hearing Examiner Planning-Comniiasion, depending on the type of
application, may permit modifications to be made to setbacks when:
1. An applicant for a wireless communication facility can demonstrate that placing the
facility on certain portions of a property will provide better screening and aesthetic
considerations than provided under the existing setback requirements; or
2. The modification will aid in retaining open space and trees on the site; or
3. The proposed location allows for the wireless communication facility to be located a
greater distance from residentially -zoned (LDR, MDR, and HDR) properties.
C. This zoning setback modification cannot be used to waive/ modify any required setback
required under the State Building Code or Fire Code.
Section 72. Ordinance Amended. Ordinance No. 2135 §1 (part), as codified at TMC Section
18.58.170, is amended to read as follows:

18.58.170 Height Waivers
A. Where the Hearing Examiner Plarsir.g gem.--,.;:.;ion finds that extraordinary hardships,
practical difficulties, or unnecessary and unreasonable expense would result from strict
compliance with the height limitations of the Zoning Code, or the purpose of these regulations
may be served to a greater extent by an alternative proposal, it may approve a height waiver to
these regulations; provided the applicant demonstrates the waiver(s) will substantially secure

Representing
City Staff: Nora Gierloff, Minnie Dhaliwal and Wynetta Bivens
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor, Department of Community Development, addressed
miscellaneous code housekeeping issues that she stated needed to be clarified in the code. She said that
after staff receives policy directions from the Planning Commission, staff will return with an ordinance.
Then a public hearing will be held on the ordinance. The CAP was briefed on these issues and once the
Planning Commission has made a recommendation it will be forwarded to the City Council.
1. Currently churches are listed as a Conditional Use in a number of zones in the city. However, there
are approximately 30 small churches operating in single story retail strip mall locations without a
Conditional Use Permit. However, there are no impacts, parking or fire safety issues.
Staff is recommending amending the definition of a religious facility to read:
"A facility operated for worship, prayer, meditation or similar activity by an organization granted tax
exempt status by the IRS."
Staff has proposed three policy options on the approval process for a religious facility in a non residential
zone as listed in the June 26, 2009 staff report.
Staff recommends option A "Religious facilities where no more than 50 attendees regularly gather at
one time could be permitted outright, subject to meeting all applicable building and fire codes."
A Conditional Use Permit would still be required if there are more than 50 attendees and/or in residential
zones.

PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
Chair Malina opened public hearing.
CASE NUMBER: L09 -028
APPLICANT: City of Tukwila
REQUEST: A series of proposed housekeeping code amendments ranging from code
clarification to policy decisions regarding allowed uses and development
standards.
LOCATION: City wide
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planner, Department of Community Development, gave the presentation for staff. The
PC were previously briefed on the code amendments and provided staff some direction on the proposed
changes and requested staff return with modification to some codes. Two additional items were added
since the PC was briefed. One pertained to land use decisions and decision makers, and based on the
recommendations of the Insurance Authority that recommended that the quasi-judicial decisions are made
by the Hearing Examiner; the second item relates to hotel /motel definitions. The City Attorney is in
agreement with the Insurance Authority's recommendations. Staff conducted a review on substantive
code issues to determine what could be moved to the Hearing Examiner and what would create a problem.
It was determined that it was not appropriate for Design Review items to go to the Hearing Examiner.
Therefore, staff recommended that Design Review is not moved to the Hearing Examiner until such time
that substantial changes are made to design review criteria.
In an attempt to cleanup the definition of hotels and motels, which are not consistent with the building
code, it was determined that extended -stays need to be defined. Staff clarified that there was a third item
added to the list previously reviewed by PC. This was related to adding some language that the applicant
shall be responsible for payments when peer review studies need to be completed for noise reports,
lighting plans, and parking demand studies.
Then there was discussion of proposed changes that were previously reviewed by the PC and PC asked
for additional information or there was consensus on the proposed changes.

Planning Commission Minutes
August 27, 2009
1. Definition for religious facilities and the allowance of smaller facilities as permitted uses.
There were three options and PC had consensus on staffs recommendation for option A.
2. Landscaping Chapter.
PC had consensus on staff's recommendation.
3. Permit Application Types and Procedure section of TMC.
PC requested to see samples of the postcards for mailings. Staff provided samples.
Applicant may choose to pay City to generate mailing labels. Staff has the ability to create
labels in GIS. Changes were incorporated in the ordinance.
PC is the decision maker for preliminary approval for Sub Divisions. Final approval is City
Council.
Thresholds for Design Review multi family and remodels captured.
Parking Determination for Parks was kept at an administrative decision.
4. Other miscellaneous code amendments.
Paving requirements, parking allowed in the rear of a single family home as long as there is an
alley in the back. Staff did not return with any other changes to the paving because there is
language in the code that is sufficient.
Mixed use office zone. PC expressed concern about lowering height to three stories and 35 ft.
Staff revised the proposed to four stories and 45 ft.
Recycling storage space 1 1 sq. ft. is consistent with other jurisdictions, no changes proposed.
Garages and sheds being accessory structures. Concern expressed regarding proportion size of
garage to size of lot. PC suggested that the current code not be changed and to schedule a
separate meeting to continue discussion for future changes. Staff suggested this item be pulled
and come back to the PC when future code amendments come to the PC.
Language added on accessory uses, `other uses similar to and being consistent with the policies
of the Comprehensive Plan.'
Lot area definition. PC gave directions to allow 4 lot short plats to include the area of the
private road in the lot area; the definition of `lot area' was changed so this is reflected.
Change: Definition needs to include fire access roads, which is included in the ordinance.
PC had consensus with the change.
Building Height. No changes to the definition, parapets not included.
5. Code Interpretations
Occupancy Permit. Clean up changes made.
Parking stalls. PC wanted to treat compact stalls and regular stalls the same, allow both to have
2 ft. overhang in the landscape area, change reflected.
Front yard landscape. No comments.
Sight distance requirements for fences on corner properties. Reference to the AASHTO in
Public Works Design Manual. No changes necessary.
Limited access state routes such as I -5 and I -405 be considered as street under the street
definition for the purposes of determining the type of lot. Changes incorporated in the
Ordinance.
Define and set policy for temporary portable office structures. PC recommendation was to
allow the underline zoning to regulate the placement and aesthetics of these structures. No
changes needed to the code.
6. Corrections
Correction of typos or incorrect references through out the code can be corrected as part of the
codifying process and do not need to be included in the ordinance. (6,a j)
7. Definition of hotel and motel Definition
Revised definitions were provided in hard copy at the public hearing. Changed to add the 30
day limitation in order to be consistent with the building code. Therefore, a new definition
for extended -stay was added for stays longer then 30 -days. Additional changes: verbiage
regarding kitchens, the number of units and language about requiring bathrooms

B. Housekeenina Code Amendments
Staff is seeking full Council approval of an ordinance amending Title 17: Subdivision and Plats and Title
18: Zoning Code of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC). The proposed amendments incorporate changes
ranging from code clarification to updating development regulations and permit processes.
The proposed amendments relative to TMC Titles 17 and 18 have been reviewed by the Planning
Commission, and a public hearing for such was held on August 27, 2009. The amendments include
changes, updates and/or additions including but not limited to:
Hotel/Motel/Extended Stay
Religious Facility
Permit Types Procedures
Landscaping
Parking
In the WCIA 2009 Annual Review Audit Recommendation, WCIA suggested amending the Permit
Types and Procedures section to transfer quasi-judicial land use matters to a hearing examiner (currently
heard by the City Council and/or Planning Commission). In regards to this suggestion, DCD staff
recommends a gradual transition of quasi-judicial matters to a hearing examiner. Certain quasi-judicial
decisions, such as design review, unclassified use permits, and rezones, will continue to be made by the
City Council and/or Planning Commission until a time that substantive charges are made to approval
criteria.
Planning Commission Recommendation: The Commission recommends approval of the amendments as
summarized in the Informational Memo included in the CAP Agenda Packet, page 35. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPETMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance Safety Committee
FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Directo
Finance Department
DATE: September 17, 2009
SUBJECT: 2009 Reporting and Remittance of Abandoned Property to the WA State
Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Annual write -off of outstanding and unredeemed General Fund accounts payable claims and
payroll checks, Municipal Court checks, and Foster Golf Course gift cards.
Each year, the City of Tukwila holds abandoned or unclaimed property that is owed either to
individuals or business vendors that must be reported by November 1st to the Washington State
Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section. All local governments are required to
report all unclaimed property except unclaimed restitution. Unclaimed restitution is submitted to
the County Treasurer who is required to report and send the funds to the State Treasurer for the
Crime Victims Fund each month.
The dormancy or abandonment period of all accounts payable claims and payroll checks is one
year; Municipal Court checks have an abandonment period of two years; and gift cards have an
abandonment period of three years.
Current Finance Department policy dictates that all abandoned or unclaimed property be
reported and remitted annually to the Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed
Property Section through the Council approved resolution process. The advantages to the City
for remitting the funds annually to the Department of Revenue are as follows:
Property remitted by the City is indemnified
The City is no longer responsible for the tracking of funds
There is little -to -no research or contact with claimants by the City as this is now
maintained through the Department of Revenue
The annual proposed resolution totaling $4,602.33 reflects amounts deemed as abandoned or
unclaimed property. For the 2009 unclaimed property report year, remittance of abandoned
General Fund Accounts Payable claims checks total $1,348.59; payroll checks total $196.01;
and Municipal Court checks total $195.51. Additionally, Foster Golf Course unclaimed gift cards
total $2,862.22.
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
To the extent possible, those individual property owners with unclaimed accounts payable
claims, payroll, and /or Municipal Court checks of $50.00 or more, have been notified by the City
through the "good faith" effort of being served due diligence letters. These individual property
owners have either not responded to the due diligence notifications and /or cannot be located in
order to claim their property.
Unlike Accounts Payable claims, payroll and Municipal Court checks, property owners of Foster
Golf Course gift cards cannot be located and the process of serving due diligence notification is,
therefore, omitted.
RECOMMENDATION
The attached proposed resolution and its attachments will authorize the annual cancellation of
unclaimed General Fund accounts payable claims /payroll checks, Municipal Court checks, and
Foster Golf Course gift cards.
By way of this informational memo being presented to members of the Finance Safety
Committee this day, please forward as follows:

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease
This item has been removed from the Committee Agenda, per agreement of the full Council at the
Regular Council meeting on September 21, 2009. Since the Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease is
currently in draft form and changes at the staff level are anticipated, Council felt it would be more
efficient to review the item once staff has made final changes. Due to time constraints, this item will
move directly to the next scheduled COW on September 28, 2009 instead of returning to Committee on
October 6. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Resolution Ordering the Cancellation of Outstanding, General Fund Claims and Payroll Checks,
Municipal Court Checks and Foster Golf Gift Cards,
Staff is seeking approval of an annual resolution writing -off unredeemed and outstanding items which
will be reported to the Washington State Department of Revenue by November 1, 2009. This year's
cancellations total $4,602.33. All cancellations will be remitted to the Washington State Department of
Revenue Unclaimed Property Section. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
28 COW.
C. Resolution Opposing Initiative 1033
At the request of the City Council, staff is bringing forward a resolution which opposes Initiative 1033 (I-
1033).
Initiative 1033 is scheduled to be on the November 3 General Election ballot. If approved, I -1033 would
limit the growth of state, county and city revenue to the annual inflation and population growth.
Committee members suggested adding additional language to the resolution that would strengthen the
understanding of the initiative's impact on the City, including identifying basic levels of service (i.e.: fire
and police) and recession concerns.
The Committee discussed possible ways of notifying voters of the importance of opposing this initiative.
Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director, will follow -up with the City Attorney to address some of these
suggestions and will report out at the September 28 COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW.
D. Ordinance and Policy Regarding Utility Leak Adiustments
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a policy, and subsequent approval of an ordinance, that will
provide utility customers with occasional fiscal relief on their water and /or sewer bill due to high
consumption as a result of a water leak.

ISSUE
BACKGROUND
DISCUSSION
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
If passed, Initiative 1033 (1 -1033) would have a dramatic impact on the City's General
Fund revenue.
Initiative 1033, scheduled to be on the ballot at the November 2, 2009 general election,
would limit the growth of state, county and city revenue to annual inflation and
population growth. The Office of Financial Management (OFM) estimates that 1 -1033
would cause the state to loose an estimated $5.9 billion by 2015. They also estimate a
loss of $2.1 billion for cities and $694 million for counties.
OFM's Fiscal Note includes an assumption that 1 -1033 will apply to all General Fund
revenue except grants, state shared revenue, charges for services performed,
enterprise activities, interdepartmental charges and investment earnings. The estimated
base for 2009 is approximately $33 million.
The estimated impact for Tukwila begins at just under $2 million annually, and continues
to grow each year as the property tax base erodes under the Initiative. Any growth in
General Fund revenue above the inflation rate plus the population growth rate would be
remitted to the county for property tax relief in the following year.
The effect of 1 -1033 would be to limit the City's ability to provide essential services at
their current level. 1 -1033 would also be a disincentive to development and annexations,
particularly for areas with low population numbers. Virtually any growth in City revenue
as a result of an annexation would be remitted to the county, unless the area has a
good deal of population density, and would not be available for the provision of services
in the annexation area. Also, generally speaking, growth in City revenue from
development or redevelopment would be remitted to the county since such growth is not
associated with population increases. Inflation right now is projected to be less than 1%
in the short -term, and less than 2% over the next few years. The average growth in
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
population for Tukwila for the last ten years is 0.50 This means there is little room for
growth in City revenue if this growth is limited to inflation or population increases.
The two attached spreadsheets are based on a projection model developed by the
Association of Washington Cities (AWC). The first spreadsheet is the original AWC
model for 2009 -2015. It shows the impact would be $970,123 in 2015, and $1,772,246
in 2016. The second spreadsheet is the same model projected out to 2020 with similar
assumptions. This page shows the impact on the City of 1 -1033 increases each year,
and it also shows the property tax base could deteriorate due to the "property tax relief'
payments made to the county.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the attached Resolution opposing Initiative 1033.
This item is scheduled to be discussed at the September 22, 2009 Finance and Safety
Committee meeting, the September 28, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and
subsequent October 5, 2009 Regular Meeting.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S OPPOSITION TO
INITIATIVE 1033, TO BE PRESENTED TO THE ELECTORATE ON
NOVEMBER 3, 2009.
WHEREAS, Initiative 1033 will be presented to the voters at the general election on
November 32, 2009, with the following ballot title and description:
Initiative Measure No. 1033 concerns state, county and city revenue.
This measure would limit growth of certain state, county and city revenue to
annual inflation and population growth, not including voter approved revenue
increases. Revenue collected above the limit would reduce property tax levies.
Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes No and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that Initiative 1033 would severely
limit the City's ability to provide basic levels of service, create barriers to future growth
and inhibit redevelopment within the City such as fire and police response, street
maintenance, and maintenance of the City's p arks and trails; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the resulting decreased levels of
service would present serious concerns about the security and welfare of the residents
of the City of Tukwila; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that Initiative 1033 would create
barriers to economic development within the City inhibit redevelopment and be a
disincentive to future iob growth; and
WHEREAS, Initiative 1033 would permanently the City's budget to
recessionary levels from 2009, with minimal future growth, which would limit the
City's ability to offer future programs and services to meet the needs of the residents of
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an expression opposing Initiative 1033 is
appropriate; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with RCW 42.17.130, the opportunity for public
statements and comments was afforded by the City Council;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council of the City of Tukwila expresses its opposition to Initiative 1033,
which will be presented to the electorate on November 3, 2009.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease
This item has been removed from the Committee Agenda, per agreement of the full Council at the
Regular Council meeting on September 21, 2009. Since the Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease is
currently in draft form and changes at the staff level are anticipated, Council felt it would be more
efficient to review the item once staff has made final changes. Due to time constraints, this item will
move directly to the next scheduled COW on September 28, 2009 instead of returning to Committee on
October 6. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Resolution Ordering the Cancellation of Outstanding. General Fund Claims and Payroll Checks,
Municipal Court Checks and Foster Golf Gift Cards
Staff is seeking approval of an annual resolution writing -off unredeemed and outstanding items which
will be reported to the Washington State Department of Revenue by November 1, 2009. This year's
cancellations total $4,602.33. All cancellations will be remitted to the Washington State Department of
Revenue Unclaimed Property Section. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
28 COW.
C. Resolution Onposina Initiative 1033
At the request of the City Council, staff is bringing forward a resolution which opposes Initiative 1033 (I-
1033).
Initiative 1033 is scheduled to be on the November 3 General Election ballot. If approved, I -1033 would
limit the growth of state, county and city revenue to the annual inflation and population growth.
Committee members suggested adding additional language to the resolution that would strengthen the
understanding of the initiative's impact on the City, including identifying basic levels of service (i.e.: fire
and police) and recession concerns.
The Committee discussed possible ways of notifying voters of the importance of opposing this initiative.
Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director, will follow -up with the City Attorney to address some of these
suggestions and will report out at the September 28 COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW.
D. Ordinance and Policy Regarding Utility Leak Adiustments
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a policy, and subsequent approval of an ordinance, that will
provide utility customers with occasional fiscal relief on their water and/or sewer bill due to high
consumption as a result of a water leak.

Leak Adjustment Policy
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The City is in need of a policy providing customers with occasional relief on their water
and /or sewer bill due to high consumption related to a water leak.
Billings for water usage is based on monthly reads by Public Works staff for all
residential and commercial customers. Sewer charges are a flat fee for residential
customers, currently $11.64 per month plus $31.90 from King County Wastewater
Treatment Division for treatment. This rate is not related in any way to the water billing.
For commercial customers however, the monthly sewer charge is based on a flat fee of
$20.37 from the City, $31.90 from King County Wastewater Treatment Division, for the
first 750ccf of consumption and $52.27 per additional 750ccf. For commercial
customers, "consumption" is based on the customer's monthly water read.
The Utilities staff in Finance works with approximately a 10 -20 customers per year who
are billed for abnormally high consumption due to a water leak. Leaks before the meter
are the responsibility of the City to repair, and the City looses out on any revenue
associated with the lost water. Leaks after the meter are the responsibility of the
customer to repair, and they are billed for consumption during the period of the leak.
There is currently no authority in the Tukwila Municipal Code or Administrative Policies
providing for an infrequent adjustment to water and sewer bills for excessive charges
related to a leak. Customers that the Finance Department works with now frequently
indicate that repair bills for Teaks could be several hundred dollars, and can be as high
as several thousand of dollars, depending on the location of the leak and any structural
damage that has occurred as a result of the water leak. These expenses are in addition
to the abnormally high water and sewer bills the customers receive for up to several
hundred dollars, and on rare occasions in the thousands of dollars.
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
As you are aware, the water the City sells is purchased from Cascade Water Alliance
(CWA). The water rates our customers pay are essentially a pass- through of the fees
assessed by CWA, plus City administration of the water utility. Because the CWA costs
are essentially a pass- through, the perception could be that other City utility customers
would end up paying for any charges waived as a part of this policy. However, the water
and sewer funds accumulate thousands of dollars in interest income each year that in
theory could be used to "pay for" the waived utility charges.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the attached Utility Leak Adjustment Policy, and
Ordinance adopting the Policy.
This item is scheduled to be discussed at the September 22, 2009 Finance and Safety
Committee meeting, the September 28, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and
subsequent October 5, 2009 Regular Meeting.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease
This item has been removed from the Committee Agenda, per agreement of the full Council at the
Regular Council meeting on September 21, 2009. Since the Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease is
currently in draft form and changes at the staff level are anticipated, Council felt it would be more
efficient to review the item once staff has made final changes. Due to time constraints, this item will
move directly to the next scheduled COW on September 28, 2009 instead of returning to Committee on
October 6. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Resolution Ordering the Cancellation of Outstanding, General Fund Claims and Payroll Checks,
Municinal Court Checks and Foster Golf Gift Cards
Staff is seeking approval of an annual resolution writing -off unredeemed and outstanding items which
will be reported to the Washington State Department of Revenue by November 1, 2009. This year's
cancellations total $4,602.33. All cancellations will be remitted to the Washington State Department of
Revenue Unclaimed Property Section. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
28 COW.
C. Resolution Onnosina Initiative 1033
At the request of the City Council, staff is bringing forward a resolution which opposes Initiative 1033 (I-
1033).
Initiative 1033 is scheduled to be on the November 3 General Election ballot. If approved, I -1033 would
limit the growth of state, county and city revenue to the annual inflation and population growth.
Committee members suggested adding additional language to the resolution that would strengthen the
understanding of the initiative's impact on the City, including identifying basic levels of service (i.e.: fire
and police) and recession concerns.
The Committee discussed possible ways of notifying voters of the importance of opposing this initiative.
Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director, will follow -up with the City Attorney to address some of these
suggestions and will report out at the September 28 COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO SEPTEMBER 28 COW.
D. Ordinance and Policy Reaardina Utility Leak Adiustments
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a policy, and subsequent approval of an ordinance, that will
4" provide utility customers with occasional fiscal relief on their water and/or sewer bill due to high
consumption as a result of a water leak.
Finance Safety Committee Minutes Seotember 22, 2009 Page 2
We have approximately, 10 -20 instances a year that would be eligible for a utility leak adjustment under
this policy. The policy is based on the following parameters:
Adjustment of no more than two billings cycles (two months).
One leak adjustment per 12 -month period, per account.
Water only adjustments cannot exceed a credit of $500.
Adjustments will be limited to $5,000 for and combination of water and /or sewer charges,
regardless of customer type.
Currently, the City of Tukwila is the only member of Cascade Water Alliance who does not have a water
and sewer leak adjustment policy. It was also suggested by WCIA that the City implement a formal
mechanism to respond to such adjustments. UNANIlVIOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
SEPTEMBER 28 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
E. City Investment Update
As required by Finance Policy 03 -17, Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director, provided the Committee with a
quarterly investment report. Previously, this report has not been presented to the Committee on a regular
basis.
Shawn reviewed the City's Investment Portfolio Summary with the Committee and stated that we
continue to strive for increased returns on investments, but the economic climate makes it extremely
challenging at this time. Investments are diversified.
Shawn explained that although CD's are not necessarily common among cities, we are currently earning
more with CD investments than with the State. Additionally, the CD's we hold with USBank essentially
cover the City's bank fees. For example, the CD's earn interest in which we, in turn, use to pay off bank
fees.
A majority of these cash investments are related to non General Fund monies. INFORMATION ONLY.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator
DATE: September 23, 2009
SUBJECT: Seattle Southside Office Space Lease
Seattle Southside Visitor Center's lease term ended on August 31, 2009. Staff requests Council
approval of a lease for a new location at 3100 South 176 Street in SeaTac.
In 2004 the City of Tukwila signed a lease for the current Seattle Southside Visitor Services
(SSVS) office location in the Fairway Center at 14220 Interurban Avenue South, Suite 130, in
Tukwila. The lease was for a five year term that ended August 31, 2009. SSVS is currently
holding over with the owner's permission on a month -to -month basis.
In April 2009 staff began researching available sites for SSVS office space and in May started
working with a commercial real estate broker. The broker and staff reviewed all available office
listings in Tukwila and SeaTac under 5,000 square feet. The listings totaled over 30 sites. The
team completed 10 site visits, analyzed lease proposals on 4 sites, and selected the two best
options: the current office location in Tukwila and a new location at 3100 South 176 Street in
SeaTac (the "3100 Building
At the City Council meeting on September 14, 2009 staff provided the Council a report
comparing the two options with a recommendation to move to the 3100 Building. After that
meeting, the Administration signed a non binding letter of intent and began detailed negotiations
for the 3100 Building lease. At the City Council meeting on September 21, 2009 the Council
selected the 3100 Building as the preferred location. Staff now seeks Council approval to
execute a lease for the 3100 Building.
The staff report for the Council's September 14 meeting contains a detailed discussion of the
new location and a draft letter of intent and is therefore not repeated in this memo. Because the
lease on the current location is now month -to -month (with a 20 day notice to vacate), and
potential tenants have expressed serious interest in the current location, time is of essence to
sign a new lease.
A proposed lease for the 3100 Building is attached. The main terms of the proposed lease are
the same as those shown in the letter of intent that was attached to the staff report for the
Council's September 14 meeting. The term would be for 66 months, which is a five year term
plus six months of free rent. The City may choose to renew the lease for two additional five
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
year extensions. After the first six months of free rent, the rent would start at $3,120 per month
with annual escalations. The rent is full service which means it covers utilities, maintenance,
janitorial, taxes, etc. We have included provisions to ensure access for people with impaired
mobility.
Budget Impact: The proposed monthly rent is lower than the rent at the current location and so
there is no need to amend the budget for this lease. The City of SeaTac has agreed to cover all
moving costs and tenant improvement costs up to $50,000 and we will manage the move to
stay within that amount. When Tukwila adopted the 2009 -2010 budget for SSVS, we
anticipated higher revenues and expenditures related to SeaTac's contribution for marketing
than we are now estimating. This extra cushion is larger than the amount needed for moving
costs and tenant improvements and so the budget does not need to be amended for that.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council authorize the Mayor to execute a lease in substantial
conformance with the attached version.

is given to Tenant. Landlord reserves the right following any re -entry or reletting, or
both, under this Section to exercise its right to terminate the Lease. During the Event of

2009).
Hugh Spitzer, the City's bond counsel, has negotiated the Escrow Agreement between the three
parties, pursuant to Section 4.8.4.6 of the Development Agreement. The Escrow Agreement is
coming to Council to review and to authorize the Mayor to sign the document on behalf of the

Exhibit B -3, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the City any amounts drawn upon Letters

such instructions that are inconsistent with the terms of the Development Agreement.

in Section 4.4, except that the amount of the O &M LC shall not be less than $2,000,000 at any
time during the Term. The amount of the O &M LC shall be determined annually pursuant to the
foregoing upon renewal. If a longer term O &M LC is provided, the amount shall be recalculated
annually on the anniversary of the initial issuance date and may be adjusted at that time. If La
Pianta is not required to make any payments to the City under the O &M Guarantee, then at any
time, and from time to time, during the last five (5) years of the Term, the parties may agree to a
reasonable reduction in the amount of the O &M LC, taking into consideration the remaining
Tenn of this Agreement, the historical receipt of O &M Revenue by the City, the likely
obligation of La Pianta pursuant to the O &M Guarantee, the security provided under the O &M
Deed of Trust, and all other relevant factors.
(b) Failure of La Pianta to provide and maintain
the O &M LC at the time and in the amount required by this Section 4.8.4.1, where such failure

replacement of the O &M LC no later than 15 days prior to its stated expiration, no notice and
opportunity to cure shall be required prior to a City draw on the O &M LC. The City may
subsequently draw upon the O &M Deposit if La Pianta shall default on its obligations under the
O &M Guarantee. If the City shall draw on the O &M Deposit at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, La Pianta shall, within 30 days of notice by the City, restore the O &M Deposit to the
amount required at the time the O&M Deposit was established. Upon expiration of the Term,
any remaining funds held in the escrow account, including any remaining accrued interest, shall
be released to La Pianta. La Pianta's obligation to provide the O &M LC, and the City's remedy
for failure to provide the O &M LC, shall not be subject to the Dispute Resolution Process set
forth in Section. 7 of this Agreement.
4.8.4.1.3 O &M Deed of Trust.
(a) The remaining $6,000,000 of La Pianta's
total potential liability under the O &M Guarantee shall be secured by the O &M Deed of Trust.
The O &M Deed of Trust shall be in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 8 and shall
be delivered to the City at the same time that the O &M LC is delivered to the Escrow Agent. La
Pianta shall have the right, to substitute as security from time to time one or more deeds of trust
in the same or similar form on other real estate acceptable to the City in the exercise of
reasonable discretion, so long as the unencumbered value of the substituted collateral is equal to
or greater than $9,000,000 as shown by a current appraisal performed by a neutral appraiser
having no less than 10 years' experience appraising commercial property in the area in which the
real estate is located, with appraisal cost shared equally between the parties. Any permitted
substitute deed of trust given under this Section 4.8 shall be delivered to the City in an escrow
arrangement (the cost of which shall be paid by La Pianta) that provides for delivery and
recording of the substitute deed of trust simultaneously with release of the original deed of trust.
06/10/2009 -18-
Substituted collateral must be located in the State of Washington, shall have an appraised value
of nine million dollars ($9,000,000) or more, shall be income producing, shall be improved by
structures of a quality that is the same as or similar to the improvements existing on the land
encumbered by the initial deed of trust, and shall be of a character suitable as collateral for a
substantial commercial loan from a recognized commercial real estate lender. The City shall not
have the right to unreasonably reject proposed substitute collateral, and the characteristics listed
in the previous sentence will be relevant in determining reasonableness of a City rejection.
(b) In the event of a default that entitles the City
to foreclose on the O &M Deed of Trust, then the O &M Deed of Trust shall provide that there
shall be no default entitling the City to foreclose the O &M Deed of Trust until (1) La Pianta shall
have failed after notice and 20 days to cure to pay the sum(s) required under the terms of this
Agreement, (2) the City has drawn on the letter of credit (or cash deposit) securing the obligation

Committee of the Whole
FROM: Lisa Verner, Mayor's Office
DATE: September 28, 2009
SUBJECT: Tukwila South Southcenter Parkway Extension Design Contract
Amendment 04- 025(H)
ISSUE
Authorize the Mayor to sign an amendment to Contract 04 -025 (H) with David Evans
Associates (DEA) to complete the 10% remaining design work for Southcenter Parkway
Extension
BACKGROUND
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
DEA has been under contract to the City for design of Southcenter Parkway Extension, the
relocated road piece of the Tukwila South Project, since 2004. The contract has been amended
several times over the years to add additional funds and to adjust the scope of work. DEA has
completed "90% drawings" and these have been used by others (La Pianta, PSE, Highline
Water District and others) to do their own design work. DEA has not done any additional work
on the design for the last several years.
Southcenter Parkway Extension runs from S 180 Street to S 200 Street. A portion of the
future right -of -way is currently within Tukwila city limits and a portion is in the process of
annexing to the City; annexation will be completed by the end of 2009.
Section 4.3.1 of the Tukwila South Development Agreement states, in part:
The City shall, using grant funds secured for this Project, promptly complete the final
design of the extension and relocation of Southcenter Parkway from S. 180 Street to S.
200 Street "Southcenter Parkway Project" or "SCP Project"), including necessary sewer,
water, stormwater, natural gas, power and telecommunications utility system
improvements associated with this roadway improvement project (the "Final Design
Plans'), as documented in the 90% drawings completed by David Evans and Associates
dated September 2005 (the "90% drawings") and on file with the City. The City may use
up to $300, 000 of the grant funds identified in Section 4.3.7 below for the purpose of
completing the Final Design Plans; any costs to complete the Final Design Plans in excess
of $300, 000 shall be borne by the City.
DISCUSSION
The scope of work for the contract amendment includes items needed to complete the last 10%
of the design work. It also includes changes discussed over the last few years, including
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
removal of S 178 Street and removal of the bike lanes. The cost for this scope of work is
$378,680.
When the Development Agreement was reviewed and adopted, the estimated cost to complete
the design work was $300,000 and this figure was included in Section 4.3.1. Since then costs
have increased as the necessary scope of work has changed.
Payment for this contract amendment will be as follows:
$300,000 from grant funds
78,680 from grant funds (since the City does not have the additional funds, La Pianta
has agreed the City may use additional grant funds)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council authorize the Mayor to sign an amendment to Contract 04 -025 (H)
with David Evans Associates (DEA) to complete the 10% remaining design work for

SUPPLEMENT NO. 8
SECTION 1.00 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND DELIVERABLES
1.01 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The objective of Supplement No. 8 is to document scope of work changes and to complete construction
documents including plans, specifications, and estimates (PS &E) for the Southcenter Parkway Extension
Project. In February 2006, a 90 percent PS &E package was delivered by the Consultant to the City of
Tukwila (City), and 90 percent comments by the City were given to the Consultant. The project was
placed on hold by the City in April 2006. In June 2009, the City contacted the Consultant to restart the
design and finalize the construction documents.
Prior to the 90 percent deliverable, the City requested that the Consultant incorporate design revisions
into the documents. These revisions, referred to as "Pre- ninety City," are as follows:
Add three new traffic signals.
Add four driveway intersections.
Add a new drainage system that will connect the outfall from the north pond to Pump Station 17.
Add five- foot -wide bike lanes to both sides of Southcenter Parkway along the full length of the
proj ect.
Realign the intersection of South 178th Street to intersect with Southcenter Parkway at a
90 degree angle.
Create a right -of -way plan for the new Southcenter Parkway and South 178th Street alignment.
Revise the roadway section, earthwork model, and channelization layout for South 178th Street.
Also prior to the 90 percent submittal, the Consultant incorporated, with the City's approval, revisions
requested by the Tukwila South Project. These revisions, referred to as "Pre- ninety South," are as
follows:
Add six bus pullouts along Southcenter Parkway.
Realign Southcenter Parkway around the existing wetland near Station (Sta.) 166 +00 (wetland
#1).
Add new traffic signals at Sta.149 +20, Sta.159 +50, and the South 200th Street intersection.
Add six new intersections on Southcenter Parkway as shown by La Pianta.
Add five Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) stations for the Highline Water District watermain
extension.
Revise the illumination system from median lighting to behind the sidewalk lighting.
Revise the landscape /illumination plan to reflect the new median layout.
Revise the channelization plans to reflect the new median layout and turn pockets.

DAVID EVANS AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 1
Scope of Services
Extend the storm drainage system along South 180th Street from Southcenter Parkway to the
P -17 Pump Station.
Conduct detailed analysis to provide local access to Mitchell Moving and Storage and Gaco.
The Pre ninety City and Pre ninety South revisions have been completed by the Consultant and were
incorporated into the 90 percent deliverable. A preliminary scope of services was agreed upon, but a
contract change order was not executed. The existing authorized budget was used to complete these
revisions.
One item that was included in the Pre ninety South revisions but the Consultant has not performed the
work for was designing Stream E enhancement plans for the area west of the roadway from
approximately Sta. 129 +00 to Sta. 139 +00. This work will be completed by the Consultant as the final
documents are prepared.
Additional revisions were requested by the City as part of the 90 percent comments. These revisions,
referred to as "Post- ninety City," are as follows:
1) Eliminate the realignment of South 178th Street.
2) Analyze the impacts of raising the maximum water elevation of the La Pianta south pond (south
of South 200th Street) to 29 feet.
3) Eliminate the bike lanes on Southcenter Parkway along the full length of the project.
4) Develop conceptual pond layouts for two (north and south) detention/water quality ponds.
Of these revisions, the Consultant has only completed the elimination of the South 178th Street
realignment and the development of the conceptual pond layouts, and began but did not finish the
analysis of raising the south pond water elevation to 29 feet. Again, these items were performed under
the existing budget, but a contract change order was not executed.
In June 2009, La Pianta and the City signed a developer agreement that provided design guidance for the
completion of PS &E package. These revisions, referred to as "2009 Agreement," are as follows and
require additional budget:
Maintain the 90 percent design with the exception of eliminating the bike lane.
Coordinate with PSE on the design of electrical and gas lines.
As discussed in a meeting with the City, La Pianta, and the Consultant, the following are design and task
items (requiring additional budget) that are needed to finalize the PS &E package:
Design a piped stormwater conveyance system to convey Stream E from approximately
Sta. 114 +40, 190' LT to approximately Sta. 130 +00. The piped system shall be located behind
the proposed sidewalk on the west side of the road. It is assumed that this portion of Stream E is
not required to be fish passable.
Redesign a portion of the Highline Water System due to the elimination of the South 178th Street
realignment.
Coordinate design of a joint utility trench (dry utilities) with Puget Sound Energy along the new
construction of Southcenter Parkway. The Consultant shall check for utility conflicts with the
joint utility trench.
Revise approximately 1600 If of roadway profile from Sta. 168 +00 to Sta. 184 +00 based on
backwater conditions for the maximum seven -day holding volume elevation of 29 feet for the
south pond.
Design the realignment of the Sta 118 +50 and Segale Drive C intersections per La Pianta's
90 percent review comments dated September 2009.

described in La Pianta's 90 percent review comments dated September 2009
Update the cost estimate.
Update the special provisions to encompass revisions made by the new "2008 Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction."
In the preparation of this supplement, the Consultant has made the following assumptions:
Assuming La Pianta will obtain all required permits prior to the Ad date, the roadway profile
over the existing levee near Sta. 169 +50 will not be raised. If revision to the roadway profile is
required, a new contract supplement will be required.
The Consultant shall not design any stormwater ponds. La Pianta will provide regional
stormwater ponds for the use of the Southcenter Parkway Extension project. The Consultant will
design a conveyance system to the regional ponds as part of this supplement. If the Consultant is
required to design any stormwater ponds, a contract supplement will be required.
La Pianta will remove all existing structures, buildings, and all salvageable items identified in
La Pianta's comments dated September 2009 prior to the Ad date. La Pianta shall also cap all
utilities during the demo operation. La Pianta shall also decommission the existing water well
located at approximate station 156 +77 17' RT. If necessary, La Pianta will remove all hazardous
material within the proposed roadway limits. If the City is responsible for any items identified
above, a new contract supplement will be required.
The Consultant shall provide design plans to remove all asphalt, foundations and abandoned
utilities /conduits within the proposed roadway right -of -way.
From Sta. 139 +00 to Sta. 151 +00, the existing Stream E ditch will be filled. If necessary,
La Pianta will provide a new conveyance system for Stream E.
La Pianta is preparing the NPDES permit for the Tukwila South Project, including Southcenter
Parkway. The Consultant shall provide Southcenter Parkway design information to La Pianta for
the NPDES permit.
For stormwater runoff during construction, La Pianta will design and construct all temporary
erosion control ponds and conveyance systems for the project. La Pianta will provide the City
and Consultant the location of these ponds. The Consultant shall design the conveyance system
to the TESC ponds. Prior to the TESC ponds being constructed, the consultant shall design a
TESC system that directs water off of the proposed road construction to the low spots provided
by La Pianta. This initial TESC system will be referred to as Phase 1 on the plans. The Phase 2
TESC system to be design by the Consultant shall direct water off of the proposed road
construction and convey it to the TESC ponds constructed by La Pianta. It is assumed the TESC
ponds constructed by La Pianta will be available for use by October 1, 2010.
The south basin conveyance system will not be upsized for temporary pumping of north basin
stormwater to the south pond.
La Pianta will design a temporary stormwater conveyance system from the north basin to the
south pond, including all force main crossings under Southcenter Parkway.
At the future South 178th Street intersection location, no curb radii on the west side of
Southcenter Parkway will be designed. Future conduit for the west approach will be installed.
There are no changes to the existing locations of water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater stub -outs.
Confirmation is required from all parties, i.e. City, KPFF, and the Consultant, that the backwater
elevation of 29 feet shall be used for the south regional pond.
