Resolution No.
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 3, 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, such as fire and police response,
street maintenance, and maintenance of the City's parks 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 job growth; and
WHEREAS, Initiative 1033 would permanently reduce 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.
PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
at a Regular Meeting thereof this day of 2009.
